human
Listen, chief, he said.
gpt
I--
human
Sure, I understand, Burris said quickly.
gpt
She's batty. But what else can we do? Malone, don't do anything you'll regret.
human
What?
gpt
I mean, don't resign.
human
Chief, how did you know--you're not telepathic too, are you?
gpt
Of course not, Burris said.
human
But that's what I would do in your place. And don't do it.
gpt
Look, chief, Malone said.
human
These nuts--
gpt
Malone, you've done a wonderful job so far, Burris said.
human
You'll get a raise and a better job when all this is over. Who else would have thought of looking in the twitch-bins for telepaths? But you did, Malone, and I'm proud of you, and you're stuck with it. We've got to use them now. We have to find that spy! He took a breath.
gpt
On to Yucca Flats!
human
Yes, sir, he said.

Hm-m-m, Boyd said.
gpt
Say Judge Dunning, he said.
human
Good man. Fast worker.
gpt
I don't care who, Malone said.
human
Just get going, and get us a release for Miss Thompson. He turned back to the doctor.
gpt
By the way, he said,
human
Her full name, Dr. Harman said,
gpt
But she is, Malone pointed out,
human
She may, Dr. Harman said,
gpt
It was obvious that he had partly managed to forget the disturbing incidents that had happened a few minutes before.
human
I don't even want to discuss that part of it.
gpt
O.K., never mind it, Malone said agreeably.
human
Tom, get us a court order for Rose Walker Thompson. Effective yesterday--day before, if possible.
gpt
Now, wait a moment, gentlemen, he said.
human
Court order or no court order, Miss Thompson is definitely not a well woman, and I can't see my way clear to--
gpt
I'm not well myself, Malone said.
human
I need sleep and I probably have a cold. But I've got to work for the national security, and--
gpt
This is important,
human
I don't dispute that, Dr. Harman said.
gpt
Nevertheless, I--
