Hey Julie, what's going on? Why is there only one place setting at the table?
gpt
You tell me. You're late and dinner is ruined.
human
I'm sorry, something came up at work and I couldn't leave.
gpt
That seems to be happening a lot lately.
human
I know, I really am sorry. Speaking of work, something else came up. You remember my friend from work, Mike?
gpt
Yeah, what about him?
human
Well, he got caught stealing from the store and the police came to question me. I lied and said he was with me at the time.
gpt
Why would you lie for him? He committed a crime!
human
I know, I know. I just didn't want to see him get into trouble. But now I've been caught in a lie and the police don't believe me.
gpt
This is not good, Tom. Lying to the police is a crime too.
human
I know, I know. I shouldn't have done it. I just didn't know what else to do.
gpt
You need to go to the police and tell them the truth before it's too late.
human
I will, I will. I just hope it's not too late to fix things with Mike.
gpt
I hope so too. But you need to take responsibility for your actions and hope for the best.
