Do you s'pose we will find that Mortimer feller at the bank?

gpt
The papers contained nothing about the arrest, did they?
human
No, not as I seen.
gpt
Then the chances are that he is there.
human
So I think. But what will you do, Vermont, if he is?
gpt
I don't know yet.
human
You won't lick him, will you?
gpt
Oh, no, that wouldn't be a wise policy to pursue.
human
But he deserves it.
gpt
So he does, but I can't afford to lower myself by fighting.

human
Don't say nothing about it.
