Oh, yeah, sure, nodded Roger, and then turned to Astro.

human
Yeah, replied the Venusian.
gpt
And I hid the key, so Connel can't get to him until he cools off.

The major is coming around,

What in the star-blazing--?
human
It's us all right, sir!
gpt
Yeah, chimed in Roger.
human
And you're not in heaven or--er--any place else either.

By the craters of Luna! cried Astro.
human
I forgot all about them!
