She is an actress, said one;
gpt
I can see that, from the way she manoeuvres her fan.

gpt
Done with you. I say, Coetzee, step up and ask who she is.
human
Coetzee daren't do it. Another fiver he does not ask.
gpt
Stuff, man; you should know better than to dare Coetzee after dinner. Eh, Piet?

human
And you know them so well, don't you?
gpt

human

gpt

human
Soh! Look, now!
