Lock Up Page #4

All I know is that he's in

the general population...

I don't give a damn about the general

population! I wanna know about Frank.

- I'm not leaving...

- Calm down. He's all right.

He was a model prisoner at Norwood.

Why bring him here?

Routine transfer.

- Hey, Frank?

- What?

Hey, man.

- It's hot in here, man.

- I know. But at least it's easy.

I know, man.

I'm sorry, I didn't do too good.

Walk with me. I gotta show you

something. It's important.

- No. Here, you try.

- No. Come on, man.

- You'll like it.

- I'm not into hard labour.

- It's cool. It's easy.

- Okay. There. I'm burnt out. Come on.

Come on, you're gonna love this.

Watch the steam, Frank.

I got these off this old trustee.

He did the plumbing here.

Everybody thought he was a nut.

Doesn't mean he wasn't smart.

- Come on, hurry up.

- All right, cool.

The tunnels under every cellblock,

they lead to the steam plant, okay?

I go out across the steam lines.

Dig this.

I shimmy, okay? Across the

steam pipes to the sally port, okay?

Over there, there's trucks coming

and going. I wait for my time...

...l'm on a truck that's leaving.

I'm dearly departing Dallas, man. Huh?

You're the doctor. Operate.

I want your professional opinion.

Let's run it backwards. I see these

trucks. They stop running at 9:00.

At 9:
00, the tower guards are at full

staff and all the inmates are awake.

Before you go 10 feet, every con in the

joint knows you're gone. And this thing...

...this shimmy?

- Shimmy slide.

You're gonna shimmy slide across

...running at 160 degrees

and get away with it?

You try, they'll change your name from

Departing Dallas to Deep-Fried Dallas.

- Just a thought, man.

- The thought that counts.

- I got a plane to catch. Thanks a lot.

- Hey, Dallas?

You got a cigarette?

It's my last one. Here.

Go ahead. Finish that.

It ain't much,

but it's the thought that counts, right?

Last call. Mess hall, last call.

Mess, coming up.

Looks like some delicious garbage

stew. Just like Mom used to make.

That's why I shot her.

- Can I have some gravy, please?

- You want some gravy?

- Here's your gravy.

- You got it all over my food.

- Move!

- What's your problem?

- Nothing. Move it!

- What's that kid's story?

In for murder.

Claims he was just in the wrong place

at the wrong time.

Waiting while his buddy bought beer.

Didn't know the guy was packing heat.

Two guys dead. Kid's doing

the Big B*tch now: Double life.

He'll make parole when he's about 400.

Move it!

What are you, a slow study or what?

Screw that guy.

So I didn't get a chance

to make the reservation...

...so why don't we get a seat

over there.

- What are you doing?
