It's working now, said Professor Hikita when he burst into the bunkhouse, and those gathered there paused for a moment before realizing what he was talking about was the AI Computer in one of the labs.
Buckaroo was already there alongside Perfect Tommy who was at the computer keyboard. I did not, Tommy was saying, shaking his head. No sir.
Yes, you did, said the Pal 7000 Computer.
No, I didn't, repeated Tommy. I would never say something like that.
Yes, you did, you liar! said the Computer.
What's going on? asked New Jersey who up until now had spent his day lost in guitar chords.
New Jersey, you could say you've pretty much know me. My likes, my dislikes, said Perfect Tommy.
I guess so, said New Jersey, why?
Am I the kind of fellow to go around saying "Howdy Pardner"?
But, you said it, said Pal, as soon as you walked into the room.
No, no, no, no, no, you are mistaken. I said "How's your garter holding up?"
Not true! Not true! screamed the computer in anger. Liar, liar! Pants on fire!
Who taught you that? Asked Buckaroo.
I'm not saying until Perfect Tommy comes clean! And tells the truth!
Rawhide's the one who goes around saying "Howdy Pardner!" maybe you heard it from him? And, I might as well add, you talk with a lisp.
I do not! Pal started crying, or what was the nearest approximation.
What is that noise? asked Perfect Tommy. It's like a cross between a goat and a dying cow.
It's crying, said Hikita. You see? Like I said! It works!
