"What say we-- we take the whole day to ourselves, old sport? There are some-- shows in the city of late and I know a lovely place we can go 'round for supper after." He's /nervous/, poor man.
"Haven't you any standing invitations to tend to? Surely your time could be better put to use than to have it spent on my behalf." There are fractures to the baritone of Gatsby's voice.

Nick is curious as to why that is.
