I can't hardly wait to get back here
--honest to God! Say, Dr. Jonathan, I've found out one thing,--it's being
in the right place that keeps a man or a woman straight. If you're in
the wrong place, all the religion in the world won't help you. If you're
doing work you like, that you've got an interest in, and that's some use,
you don't need religion (she pauses). Why, that's religion,--it ain't
preaching and praying and reciting creeds, it's doing--it's fun. There's
no reason why religion oughtn't to be fun, is there?
DR. JONATHAN. None at all!
MINNIE. Now, if we could get everybody in the right job, we wouldn't
have any more wars, I guess.
DR. JONATHAN. The millennium always keeps a lap ahead--we never catch up
with it.
MINNIE. Well, I don't want to catch up with it. We wouldn't have
anything more to do. Say, it's nearly eleven o'clock--would you believe
it?--and I've been expecting Mr. Pindar to walk in here with the
newspaper. I forgot he was in Washington.
DR. JONATHAN. He was expected home this morning.
MINNIE. What gets me is the way he hangs around here, too, like
everybody else, and yet I've heard him call you a Socialist, and swear
he hasn't any use for Socialists.
DR. JONATHAN.
