I'll ride Blue, you take the mare,
gpt
He looks snorty. You better let me handle him.
human
No, I've ridden him before. Really, I'm quite a twister. You can help saddle him, though.
gpt
I'll ride him, you take the bay.
human
I tell you I am going to ride him. I've ridden him, and I'll show him that I can ride him again.
gpt
Sure, I know you can ride him--I knew that when I saw you catch him up. But, what's the use? He's got a bad eye. What's the use of you takin' a chance?
human
You're in no condition to ride him, you're hurt, and all tired out----
gpt
I ain't hurt to speak of, an' since I got that coffee inside me, I'm good for all day an' then some.
human
Whose horse is Blue? And what right have you to tell me I can't ride him?
gpt
Whose horse he is, don't make any difference. An' if I ain't got the right to tell you not to ride him, I'll take the right.
human
Well, of all the nerve! Anybody would think you owned the earth!
gpt
Not much of it, I don't. But, I'm goin' to own more----
human
More than the earth!
gpt
Yes--a whole heap more than the earth,
