Is it possible that we're all crazy, Captain?
gpt
It's possible, but we're not.
human
I wish I could be sure.
gpt
See Forbes up ahead there? What do you think of him?
human
I still can't believe it.
gpt
He'll never be the same.
human
Tell me something. What was the most unusual thing you noticed back there?
gpt
You must be kidding, sir. Why, the way those logs were off of us suddenly--
human
Yes, of course. But I mean beside that.
gpt
Well, I guess I was kind of busy. You know, scared and mixed up.
human
But didn't you notice our little pop-eyed friend?
gpt
Oh, him. I'm afraid not, Captain. I--I guess I was thinking mostly of myself.
human
Hmmm. If I could only be sure I saw him. If only someone else saw him too.
gpt
I'm afraid I don't follow you, sir.
human
Well, damn it all, you know that Forbes took a pot shot at him. Got him in the leg. That being the case, why would the fuzzy little devil come back to his tormentors--back to us--when we were trapped under those logs?
gpt
Well, I guess as long as we were trapped, he figured we couldn't do him any more harm.... I'm sorry, that was a stupid answer. I guess I'm still a little shaky.
human
Forget it. Look, you go ahead to the ship and make ready for take-off. I'll join you in a few minutes. I think I'll go back and look around. You know. Make sure we haven't left anyone.
gpt
No need to do that. They're all ahead of us. I've checked.
human
That's my responsibility, Cabot, not yours. Now go on.
