You just couldn’t let me go, could you? This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. You truly are incorruptible, aren’t you? You won’t kill me out of some misplaced sense of self-righteousness. And I won’t kill you because you’re just too much fun. I think you and I are destined to do this forever.

Men would pay $200 for me, and here you are turning down a freebie. You could get a perfectly good dishwasher for that.

That’s bullshit, you’re not gonna do nothin’ like that. I’ll tell you what you gonna do. You gonna get a job. That’s what you gonna do, you’re gonna get a little job. Some job a convict can get, like scraping off trays in a cafeteria, or cleaning out toilets. And you’re gonna hold onto that job like gold; because it IS gold. Let me tell you, Jack, that is GOLD. You listenin’ to me? And when that man walks in at the end of the day, and he comes to see how you done, you ain’t gonna look in his eyes – you gonna look at the floor. Because you don’t want to see that fear in his eyes when you jump up & grab his face, and slam him to the floor, and make him scream & cry for his life. So you look right at the floor, Jack. Pay attention to what I’m sayin’, motherfucker! And then he’s gonna look around the room – see how you done. And he’s gonna say, _“Oh, you missed a little spot over there! Jeez, you didn’t get this one here! What about this little bitty spot?”_ And you’re gonna suck all that pain inside you…and you’re gonna clean that spot. And you’re gonna clean that spot! Until you get that shiny clean. And on Friday, you pick up your paycheck. And if you could do that – if you could do that, you could be president of Chase Manhattan Corporation! If you could do that!

If Mr. McMurphy doesn’t want to take his medication orally, I’m sure we can arrange that he can have it some other way. But I don’t think that he would like it.

Oh, I’m sorry. I can’t come to the door right now. I’m afraid that in my weakened condition, I could take a nasty spill down the stairs and subject myself to further school absences. You can reach my parents at their places of business. Thank you for stopping by. I appreciate your concern for my well-being. Have a nice day!
