Rench Monologue from Dr. Jonathan

From Dr. Jonathan by Winston Churchill

male · defiant · 53 sec

We couldn't wait no longer,--he's been standing us off for more than a year. When he comes back from Washington there'll be nothing doing. He's got to recognize the union or lose his contract. (DR. JONATHAN: He may prefer to lose his contract.) Well, he can afford to. Then he can go to hell. (HILLMAN: Hold on, Sam, that ain't no way to talk to the doctor!) I didn't mean no disrespect to him. He don't go 'round preachin', like some fellers I could mention, but actions is louder than words. Ain't that the reason we're here, because he sympathizes with us and thinks we're entitled to a little more of this freedom that's bein' handed 'round? We want you to help us, doctor.
