good morning, boys.
mean old monday, miss pilbow, mean old monday.  good morning, boys. rise and shine. rise and shine.
time to get up! come on now, it's a beautiful day! let's not straggle! everybody up, up, up!
good morning, mister sefelt.  good morning, mister fredrickson. good morning, billy, i spoke to your mother last night and she sends her love.  good morning, mister harding.  good morning, mister cheswick. mister scanlon.
oh, mister bromden.  mister washington!
mister washington, why don't we get a good head start on the day by shaving mister bromden and see if we can't avoid a disturbance.
mister mcmurphy!
will you come with me, please.
my name is miss ratched. i'm the head nurse here. you've already met miss pilbow and aides washington and warren.
mister miller, this is mister mcmurphy, who'll be staying with us.
we do appreciate the way you have taken it upon yourself to meet the other patients.
this is your bed. you may leave your things in that cabinet.
please use your time to familiarize yourself with your new home and if there is anything you need to know, don't hesitate to ask us.
all in good time, mister mcmurphy. all in good time.
good. now if you'll just go along with mister washington, he'll see that you're properly oriented.
is there anything else?
good. i'm sure we'll be friends.
yes. now go along, mister mcmurphy. go along.
somebody please see to mister bancini, so we can start the meeting.
at the close of friday's meeting, we were discussing mister harding's problem, concerning his wife.  mister harding stated that his wife made him uneasy because she drew stares from men on the street. is that correct, mister harding?
he also thinks he may have given her reason to seek sexual attention elsewhere, but he didn't say how. he has been heard to say to his wife, 'i hate you, i don't ever want to see you again. you've betrayed me.' so. does anyone care to touch upon this further?
mister mcmurphy, this ward is a democratic community run by the patients and their votes, so you should feel at ease in your new surroundings to the extent you can freely discuss emotional problems in front of the patients and staff. however, the cardinal rule, and i must emphasize this: everyone keeps their seat during the meeting!
yes.  we were discussing mister harding's problem with his wife. now, who will start? billy.
would you like to start?
mister sefelt?
mister fredrickson?
mister taber?
mister martini?
mister scanlon?
mister cheswick?
am i to take it that there isn't a man among you who has an opinion concerning this matter? mister harding, you've stated on more than one occasion that you suspected your wife of seeing other men.
but you have no proof.
and yet you suspect her.
why?
have you ever speculated, mister harding, that you are impatient with your wife because she does not meet your mental requirements?
yes, billy?
no secrets, mister harding. let's get it all out in the open.
somebody see to mister bancini.
mister mcmurphy. patients aren't allowed in here.
yes, mister mcmurphy?
that music is for everyone, mister mcmurphy.
mister mcmurphy, there are old men here who couldn't hear the music at all if it were lower. that music is all they have, and i wish you wouldn't lean against the glass there, your hands are staining the window.
not at all, mister mcmurphy.
that's all right, miss pilbow, if mister mcmurphy does not wish to take his medication orally, he may.
good morning, boys. rise and shine. rise and shine.
time to got up! come on now, it's a beautiful day! let's not straggle! everybody up, up, up!
good morning, mister sefelt, are your teeth any better?.  good morning, mister fredrickson.  good morning, mister harding; my, my, you've been biting your fingernails again.
mister mcmurphy, patients are not permitted to run around in towels.
on this ward?
oh, i had them removed.
patients are rationed to one pack of cigarettes a day.
mister washington!
please see to mister bromden.
now you boys hurry along and wash up for breakfast.  you too, mister mcmurphy.
after breakfast, mister mcmurphy, after breakfast.
yes. now run along like a good boy and see that you wash up properly.
watching mcmurphy who removes his towel as he enters the washroom.
sit down, mister cheswick.
sit down, mister cheswick!
you should have thought about that before you gambled all your cigarettes away. is that clear?
mister cheswick, is that clear!
good.  now, as i recall, we were making quite a bit of headway, last time, with mister harding's problem. so, does anyone care to begin?
yes, mister mcmurphy.
certainly, mister mcmurphy.
the point is well taken, doctor, but do we have the necessary personnel to cover a second day room?
good. good. yes, yes, i think we should give it a trial period. so! may we get back to mister harding's problem.  yes, mister mcmurphy?
go on.
just a minute, mister mcmurphy!
please understand, the schedule has been set up for a delicately balanced reason that would be thrown into turmoil by a switch of routines.
very well! all those in favor, please raise your hands.
i count only two, including you, mister mcmurphy. certainly not enough to change ward policy.
yes. now was there anything else you wanted to discuss, mister mcmurphy?
then i suggest we turn our attention back to mister harding's problem. would anybody care to begin?
yes, mister harding?
try, billy, try.
was it your idea to visit her on sunday?
tell us about it.
what was it about her that disturbed you so, billy?
billy, were you afraid of her, or of her love?
that was the first time you attempted to commit suicide, wasn't it? you must try to talk about it, billy.
mister mcmurphy, the purpose of this meeting is therapy. group therapy.
let me pose a question to the group: do any of you feel that mister mcmurphy is perhaps imposing his personal desires on you too much?
will one more vote satisfy you?
very well. what is it you're proposing, mister mcmurphy?
a vote is before the group.
everyone in favor of changing the schedule raise his hand.
i'm sorry, mister mcmurphy, i count only eight.
but there are eighteen patients on the ward, mister mcmurphy.
i'm sorry, mister mcmurphy, but you must have a majority to change ward policy.
you mean you don't want their votes to count, billy!
sit down, mister mcmurphy!
i want you to turn the television off and return to your place!
sit down, mister cheswick.
i want you men to return to your proper places. the group meeting is not over!
mister mcmurphy, you are deliberately violating the rules!.
you men remain seated!
you boys, stop this and go to your assignments! mister mcmurphy, i want you to set an example.
good. well, boys, did you enjoy yourselves?
my, my.
mr. mcmurphy, you had no right to take these men out with you!
no, it was irresponsible!
that's quite a catch, jim. whaat are you going to do with it?
that's an excellent idea. now, why don't you boys place your fish on the gurney and we'll see to it that everyone enjoys a fresh fish dinner.
thank you, boys. now if you'll just go along with mister washington to the showers, supper is in half an hour.
it's been brought to my attention that you're giving mister fredrickson your medication, aren't you, mister sefelt?
now, jim, you must be honest with yourself.
yes, mister fredrickson?
sit down, mister cheswick, and wait your turn!
if the dorms were left open, you would just return to bed after breakfast.
with few exceptions, time spent in the company of others is therapeutic, while every minute spent brooding alone only increases separation.
mister mcmurphy.
welcome back.
i hope everything is settled.
good. why don't you join us?
certainly, mister mcmurphy, with pleasure.
yes. good luck, mister mcmurphy.
no.
no, miss, it's the other way around.
who?
miss, it's a complicated case. it would take too long to explain.
billy, it's not polite to stare!
thank you, mister washington! mister mcmurphy, do you know where billy is?
mister harding, have you seen billy?
mister sefelt.
you should have thought about that before you brought that woman in here!
i don't want your mother to believe something like this but what am i to think?
billy, that girl couldn't have pulled you in there forcibly.
who? tell me!
get up, billy.
mister washington.
put him in doctor spivey's office!
washington! warren! to the day room, immediately!
get away from him! don't you dare touch him!
did everything go well, mister sefelt?
that's very nice. now, doesn't that make you feel better, mister sefelt?
good.
yes, mister harding?
no. mister harding, that is not true.
thank you.
now, let's find you a place to sit, shall we, mister mcmurphy?
here now, you sit here.  that's it.
