Ratched: To answer your question about the dorm, Mr. Scanlon. You know very well that if we left the door open, you'd just go right back to bed after breakfast. Am I right?
Taber: So what?
Cheswick: May I have my cigarettes, please, Miss Ratched?
McMurphy: Forget the cigarettes, Cheswick. Cigarettes are not important. Sit down, will you? For Christ's sake! Cigarettes!
Ratched: Remember, Mr. Scanlon, we've discussed many times that time spent in the company of others is very therapeutic. While time spent brooding alone only increases a feeling of separation. You remember that, don't you?
Fredrickson: Do you mean to say it's sick to want tobe off by yourself?
Cheswick: Miss Ratched?
Ratched: Mr. Cheswick, you sit down!
Cheswick: Yes, but I want to know about...
Ratched: Sit down, Mr. Cheswick.
Cheswick: I want to...
McMurphy: Give him a cigarette, will you, Harding?
Harding: My last one.
McMurphy: That's a fucking lie. Why don't you give him a cigarette?
Harding: Look, I'm not running a charity ward, see? Come on!
Cheswick: I don't want his cigarettes. And I don't want his, or his, or his, or his, or his, or his... Or even yours. Do you understand that? I want my cigarettes, Miss Ratched! I want my cigarettes! I want mine, Miss Ratched! What gives you the damn right to keep our cigarettes piled up on your desk and to squeeze out a pack only when you feel like it, huh? Miss Ratched!
Ratched: Mr. Harding!
Harding: Oh, I'm sorry.
Ratched: You surprise me.
Harding: I lost my head. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... I'm really very sorry. I just forgot. I didn't mean to. I'm really very sorry. Just forgot.
Ratched: It's all right.
Cheswick: Miss Ratched!
Ratched: Yes, Mr. Cheswick?
Cheswick: I asked you a question!
Ratched: I heard your question, Mr. Cheswick and I will answer your question as soon as you've calmed down. OK? Are you calm, Mr. Cheswick?
Cheswick: I'm calm.
Ratched: Good. Now, as you all know, Mr. McMurphy has been running a small gambling casino in our tub room. Now, most of you lost all your cigarettes to Mr. McMurphy, not to mention a tidy sum of money to Mr. McMurphy. And that's why your tub room privileges have been suspended and your cigarettes have been rationed. Mr. Martini?
Martini: How are we gonna win our money back?
Ratched: You're not going to win your money back, Mr. Martini. That's all over. If you had obeyed the rulesin the first place, you wouldn't have lost your money.
