What's the matter with me? Somebody tell me! Am I nuts? Miles! Schick! What's happening?
gpt
I'm coming, Rhodes! Heaven help us, man--I saw it, too. We're either crazy or those damn logs are alive!
human
It's not the logs. How about us? How'd we get out of the water? Miles, we're both cracking.
gpt
I'm telling you, man, it's the logs, or rocks or whatever they are. I was looking right at them. First they're on top of me, then they're piled up over there!
human
Damnit, the logs didn't pick us up out of the ocean, did they? Captain Benson!
gpt
Are you men all right?
human
Yes sir, but--
gpt
Who saw exactly what happened?
human
I'm afraid we're not seeing right, Captain. Those logs--
gpt
I know, I know. Now get hold of yourselves. We've got to round up the others and get out of here while time is on our side.
human
But what happened, Captain?
gpt
Hell, Rhodes, don't you think I'd like to know? Those logs are so old they're petrified. The whole bunch of us couldn't lift one. It would take super-human energy to move one of those things.
human
I haven't seen anything super-human. Those ostriches down there are so busy eating seaweed--
gpt
All right, let's bear a hand here with the others. Some of them can't walk. Where's Forbes?
human
He's sitting down there in the water, Captain, crying like a baby. Or laughing. I can't tell which.
gpt
We'll have to get him. Miles, Schick, come along. Forbes! You all right?
human
Ho-ho-ho! Seventeen! Seventeen! Seventeen planets, Benson, and they'll do anything I say! This one's got a mind of its own. Did you see that little trick with the rocks? Ho-ho!
gpt
See if you can find his gun, Schick; he'll either kill himself or one of us. Tie his hands and take him back to the ship. We'll be along shortly.
human
Hah-hah-hah! Seventeen! Benson, I'm holding you personally responsible for this. Hee-hee!
