If you move I fire, _señor_; raise your hands--quick!
gpt
Santa Maria! A woman?
human
Yes, _señor_, a woman; the same you sought, but I have found you first.
gpt
A good jest surely; how came you here?
human
Not to discuss that, _señor_, quietly.
gpt

human
Only a belt with a knife.
gpt
Keep the knife; it may come handy for some purpose. Now bind his hands with the belt. Cross your wrists, _señor_.
human
You damn vixen, he growled savagely.
gpt
This play will soon be done; do you know who I am?
human

gpt
