What is it that you want?
gpt
We want you to surrender,
human
And if we don't?
gpt
Then you'll be committing suicide,
human
I'm not so sure of that, replied Frank.
gpt
I suppose you'd have said that before you made your last rush. But as you see, we're not dead yet.
human
That was different, replied the messenger.
gpt
You can see now that we have double the number we had before and more than double the guns. You can't possibly hold out against us.
human
Maybe not, replied Frank,
gpt
Is that your last word?
human
I have only one word, replied Frank.
gpt
You heard me. Go back and tell your comrades to come on as soon as they like. They'll find us ready for them. But I warn you now as I warned you before that our Government will get you--every last one of you. You may kill us, but you'll swing for it.
human
Well, said Frank, turning around,
gpt
Only this, returned the messenger.
human
My comrades will not insist on your surrender. But we must have the prisoners. If you give them up, you may go where you will.
gpt
So you had that little joker in reserve, did you? asked Frank grimly.
human
Well, my answer is just the same. We've got those prisoners, and we're going to keep them. We started to take them into camp, and we're going to take them there. If you get them at all, you'll get them after we're dead.
