How do you do, professor?
gpt
Waryer, growled the man, still keeping his feet on the table.
human
So it's you, is it? Dis ain't your day.
gpt
I know it, but I decided to come around just the same. I am not getting the flesh off as fast as I ought.
human
Hey? roared the man, letting his feet fall with a crash.
gpt
Wot's dat? D'yer men ter say I ain't doin' a good job wid yer? Wot der blazes!
human
Oh, you are doing all right, professor, but I find I must be in condition sooner than I thought. My gymnasium exercise doesn't seem to--
gpt
Dat gymnasium work is no good--see? I knows wot I'm givin' yer, too. I told yer in der first place ter stick ter me, an' I'd put yer in shape. It'll cost more, but--
human
I don't mind that. No matter what it costs, I must be in condition to lick that fellow I was telling you about, and I must be in condition one week from to-day.
gpt
Dat's business. I'll put yer dere. An' yer know wot I told yer--I'll show yer a trick dat'll finish him dead sure ef de mug is gittin' de best of yer. It'll cost yer twenty-five extra ter learn dat trick, but it never fails.
human
I had forgotten about that, he said.
gpt
What will it do?
human
It'll do der bloke what ye're after, dat's wot.
gpt
Yes, but how--how?
human
T'ink I'm goin' ter give der hull t'ing erway? Well, I should say nit! I tells yer it'll fix him, and it'll fix him so dere won't be no more fight in him. It'll paralyze him der first t'ing, an' he won't be no better dan a stiff.
gpt
How bad will it hurt him?
human
Well, I don't mind sayin' dat it'll break his wrist. Yer can do it de first crack arter I shows yer how, but it'll cost twenty-five plunks ter learn der trick.
