From Dr. Jonathan by Winston Churchill

I'd go to the electric chair for him! (AUGUSTA: I'm not asking you to do that.) You want me to go away and get another place. I remember a lesson you gave us one day in Bible class, "Judge not, that you be not judged,"--that was what you talked about. But you're judging me on what you think is my record,--and you'd warn people against hiring me. If everybody was a Christian like that these days, I'd starve or go on the street. (AUGUSTA: We have to pay for what we do.) And you make it your business to see that we pay. (A pause.) Well, I'll go. I didn't know how poor Dr. Jonathan was,--he never said anything about it to me. I'll disappear.
