gpt

human
You bet your life we're not! answered Frank emphatically.

That'll give me a chance to get in on the game.
human
I don't know that the rats will trouble us next time, put in Billy.

You'll remember that it was only after we got past that place where the light was that we came across them in any numbers. Their stamping ground seemed to be further on.
