Horatio and I were just talking,
gpt
Yeah, I said.
human
Now Horatio and I are going to do a little talking. Make yourself scarce.
gpt
What kind of a line was she giving you?
human
Why, gosh, Mr. Flannigan, Horatio stammered.
gpt
She was just trying to help me. She's just as interested in getting me into the Army as you are. She's a wonderful girl, Mr. Flannigan.
human
Now, look, I said gently.
gpt
You really want to get set with Uncle Sam, don't you?
human
Why, sure.
gpt
Then listen to me. I'm doing everything I can for you. And I've got a deal all lined up. I was just over at the Army recruiting station and I think everything is set. Not right away, but pretty soon.
human
Gosh, that's wonderful.
gpt
Now you know who your friend is. I came over beside him and put my hand on his shoulder.
human
I got a little piece of advice for you that I want you to take to heart. Stay away from this kid, Alice. She's no good for you.
gpt
Now just a minute. You can't--
human
I'm sorry, kid, I said. I let my hand fall from his shoulder.
gpt
Maybe I shouldn't tell you, but--
human
Tell me what?
gpt
It's only for your own good I'm doing this. That pretty little blonde is just going to play you for a sucker. She's already married.
human
I don't believe it,
gpt
It's God's truth.
human
Who is the man?
gpt
Mystiffio.
human
Mystiffio!
gpt
It's a tough break, kid, but the sooner you forget her the better.
