He's on

the hunt, butch.

Tell the guys

to pipe down.

Pipe down.

Pipe down.

I can't eat that stuff!

Who did that?

Me! What do you

think of that?

I want some food.

I don't want any more of this swill!

Shut up!

You give me

some food to eat!

I'm not going

to eat that junk!

Shut up,

all of you!

Come on!

Give me some food!

Come on!

Give us some food!

I ain't afraid

of your guns!

I ain't afraid

of nobody!

Come on, you yellowbellies!

Let's show 'em!

That volley went against the wall.

The next time,

shoot to kill!

Butch, sit down!

Yellowbellies!

Cowards!

Sit down, butch!

It's your last chance!

Cover all the entrances.

Listen to me, you men.

I have treated you squarely,

and you know it.

If you got any grievances

within my power to correct,

come to me!

You can't get anything

by starting a row like this,

so i'm warning you

for the last time-

i'm running this show,

and i'm ready for you.

That's all.

Wallace!

Who started this?

Butch.

Take him out!

The knife...

what?

The knife.

Oh.

Butch, in the aisle.

Search him!

I ain't got nothin'.

No hard feelings, see?

Nothing

on him, sir.

You had a knife.

Who, me? Yes, you.

No, sir. Someone's

been stringing you.

In the dungeon!

What for?

I was only kidding.

Sure. I understand.

That little joke will

just cost you 30 days on bread and water

in the dark!

Come on. Move on!

I'm sorry

about butch.

You're what?

I say, i'm sorry

about butch.

Yeah?

Who is it?

Your lawyer.

Hello, john.

Hello, canton.

What's up?

Got a little

surprise for you.

Yeah?

Kid, i got

good news for you.

You're going

to be paroled.

Yeah? When?

20 years from now?

Don't be funny.

You're going to leave this joint tomorrow.

Tomorrow? Aw,

quit your kidding.

I'm not kidding.

It's all settled.

Just came from the warden's office.

Yeah?

The next time,

you'll play it smart.

Ha ha! You say-

hello, sis.

What's the matter?

You look so pale.

You're not ill,

are you?

No, no, but you don't know

how terrible it is here.

What have they done

to get me out?

Ohh...

i'm sorry, dear.

What do you mean?

We've done

everything.

I saw the governor

myself.

He was very kind.

He said he couldn't

do anything.

What kind of a dame

would you like to have me get for you?

Any kind.

How'd you like

a little gal like that?

Say, you're a lawyer,

not a magician.

O.k., kid.

I'll be around here

with a car in the morning to pick you up.

Fine.

So long.

Oh, kent, please.

But you don't know
