It tickled the baby!
gpt
Do you know when you leave?
human
Yes, at ten.

human

gpt

human
As the Bald One clings to my finger!
gpt
I still have packing to do. If you'll excuse me, I'll go right up.
human
Good-night, Jane,
gpt
Good-night, and thank you, Jerry.
human
For what?
gpt
For understanding.
human
But I don't. I don't understand anything about you. I don't know why you're going any more than I know where--but I'm trying to see that that doesn't make any difference, that it's your right to see this through your own way.
gpt
Jerry, that's better than understanding, that's faith,
