Have you no sweetheart, Attilio?
gpt
Certainly I have. But it is not a man's affair. We are only children, you understand--siamo ancora piccoli.
human
Did you ever give her a kiss?
gpt
Never. Not a single one.
human
Why not give her a kiss?
gpt
People would call me a disrespectful boy.
human
Nobody, surely, need be any the wiser?
gpt
She is not like you and me.
human
Not like us? How so?
gpt
She would tell her sister.
human
What of it?
gpt
The sister would tell her mother, who would say unpleasant things to mine. And perhaps to other folks. Then the fat would be in the fire. And that is why.
human
What would your mother say to you?
gpt
She would say: 'You are the oldest male; you should conduct yourself accordingly. What is this lack of judgment I hear about?'
human
I begin to understand.
