Place
Verbatim (witness's words)

I must go back to a few days before. I called to finalize the arrangement for the dinner party. He said, you know, I was sitting here in silence gathering my thoughts, and I suddenly realized something. I went into my sweetheart and I said, darling, you know the story of the Last Supper and Judas' betrayal. It isn't that at all. The story of the Last Supper is my experience of preaching the Word of God. That's what it's all about. At that, I broke in and I said, yes, and don't forget that I saw you die as Judas.

Neville (as quoted): "You know, I was sitting here in silence gathering my thoughts, and I suddenly realized something. I went into my sweetheart and I said, darling, you know the story of the Last Supper and Judas' betrayal. It isn't that at all. The story of the Last Supper is my experience of preaching the Word of God. That's what it's all about."
