Substitute Sanders for McMurphy
(From One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest)
"McMurphy turns loose, straightens up and shifts his feet for
a better position.
HARDING
Giving up?
MCMURPHY
Just warmin' up.
He grabs the levers again. His whole body shakes with the
strain. For just a second we HEAR the cement GRIND. Then his
breath explodes and he falls back limp against the wall.
There's blood on his hands. No sound but his rasping breath.
He opens his eyes and looks around. Then pulls out a
pocketful of IOU's and tries to sort them out, but his hands
are frozen into red claws. He throws the whole bundle on the
floor and walks out. At the door, he turns back.
MCMURPHY
But I tried. Goddammit, I sure as
hell did that much. Didn't I?
