So he did register, Alan said.
gpt
But now what? How do we find him?
human
Here. Let me look at that. He squinted to make out the small print, then nodded and wrote down something.
gpt
His televector number's a local one. So far, so good.
human
Dead ringers, these two. But I'll bet this one doesn't look much like this any more--not after nine years of Free Status!
gpt
It only pays off for the lucky few, eh, Max?
human
Some of us make out all right. You have to have the knack, though. You can get awful hungry otherwise. Come on, kid--let's go up a little higher, now. Up to the televector files. Thanks for the help, Hinesy. You're a pal.

human
See you tonight as usual?
gpt

human
I'm going to take the night off. I have it coming to me.
gpt

human
Maybe you will. Let's go, kid.
