Minnie Monologue from Dr. Jonathan

From Dr. Jonathan by Winston Churchill

It looks like you're cutting out the minister, too. You'd ought to be getting his salary. (DR. JONATHAN: Then I'd have to do his job.) I get you--you'd be paid to give 'em all the same brand of dope. You wouldn't be free. (DR. JONATHAN: To experiment.) You couldn't be a scientist. Say, every time I meet the minister I want to cry, he says to himself, "She ran away from Jesus and went to the bad. What right has she got to be happy?" And Mrs. Pindar's just the same. If you leave the straight and narrow path you can't never get back--they keep pushing you off.
