She had a job.

- No.

- No, I know she had a job...

No, because of the ringing.

- Night and day, right?

- Yeah.

- In both ears?

- Uh-huh.

You won't be able to concentrate.

You'll forget what you've read.

You won't have any friends.

You'll be incompetent

and you'll be foul-mouthed.

No sh*t?

You know what?

Who the hell are you, huh?

You got a desk and a clipboard.

You don't know me.

'Cause if you did, you'd know

how close I am to coming over that desk

and shoving that clipboard

up your fat, pompous ass.

I'm gonna go to college, and I'm gonna

graduate, and then I'm gonna get a job,

and you can stick that

in your goddamn chart.

You ungrateful piece of sh*t!

Get your hands off me, bro!

- Don't touch me.

Get the hell out of here.

Don't f***ing touch me.

- Don't come back.

Hey, bro, could you hold it a sec?

- Yeah.

- I'll be right back.

What the hell's wrong with you?

Thanks, man.

Damn thing only lights half the time.

Hell, I only work half the time myself.

You don't say much. Got a light?

Buddy, you got a light?

Hey, man, you deaf?

Yeah, I am.

I heard that. I lost a wheel.

F***ing peaceniks.

I'd hate them a lot more

if I didn't agree with them.

You wanna get a beer?

What?

A beer. A brew. Cold one.

It's 10:
00 in the morning, man.

So?

No, no thanks.

Mike Stolz.

Mike.

Richard.

Like Nixon?

That's awesome. Here you go, bro.

That sh*t's good for you.

They overran us. Swarmed us, bro.

And it's just me and Jimmy left,

and I'm like...

I'm f***ing gone. F*** Jimmy, bro.

And I f***ing stand to run,

and Jimmy pulls me down

and greases this guy that was right on me.

I never saw him.

Jimmy saved my life.

Then I look over, tell him, "Let's go, bro. "

And Jimmy's head was just gone.

Motherfuckers!

He saved my life.

And God forgive me, bro,

I was gonna leave him there.

What the f***, man?

Can nobody afford a decent roach clip?

Look at this sh*t.

What the f*** is this, bro?

Clearly, Kesey's expressing

his hatred for conformity.

Yeah, he's celebrating the individual,

but I think it's more about

the abuse of power.

The individual is disengaged

from the society, although...

I think it's more about the abuse of power.

As a result, he acts

as a spiritual and emotional...

...authority figure, right?

I...

I forgot something.

Hey, watch it.

Chin.

Thin.

Thin.

Gem.

Web.

Web.

Pep.

You come by anytime.

- Thanks, Dr. Padrow.

- Sure.

Look like you have a coke problem.

May I?

I...

I don't...

Yeah, don't bother, all right? I'm deaf.

I can read lips, but not that well.

Those are gonna make me seasick.

You're welcome.

All right.

Damn boy scout.

You think you're too good to talk to me?
