Fortune and Men's Eyes (1971) - full transcript
The young, naive Smitty is sent to prison for six months; Cathy, his girlfriend, watches as he disappears behind the bars and barbed wire. He's assigned a cell with Queenie, a balls-out drag queen, Rocky, a quiet but cocky con, and Mona, a young gay man who ministers to Rocky. Smitty watches in horror as gangs of inmates brutalize prisoners who lack protection. Those who complain risk beatings or murder at the hands of unsympathetic guards: all cries are bootless. Mona offers poetry - Shakespeare's sonnet XXIX; Queenie and Rocky offer Smitty advice, and Rocky offers protection for a price. Smitty's choices and their consequences are the film's main subjects.

You can ask Mona.
She screwed all around the mulberry bush.
Little bitch!
I had to go all the way to
the freaking office to find out.
- Why don't you leave him alone?
- How long's your sentence?
- Six months.
- Mine too.
But you get used to the routine.
- It's your ambition kid, you wanna kiss ass
- Will you please ignore him.
- It's hard to do.
- Not if you listen to the politicians
- Politicians in here?
- Honey,
we have all kinds of politicians in here.
Now, I'm a politician.
Mother is indeed a politician
You see, we're the ones who are smart enough
to go right up to the front office
and get a few of the better things, you know
Well, we get , hmm, new shirts
and we get press trousers...
I get lightweight booties
and of course we get tailor-made cigarettes
- I don't smoke
- You just take your deck of weed and you give them to your mother
- My mother?
- Me honey. Who else?
- Tailor mades are hard to get,
but they'll give you tobacco once a week
and you can use that to trade for things.
- Thank you.
I'll wangle you a good deal
and you won't have to do any hard time.
I do have friends
- The faggot
wants to fix you up with an old man.
She thinks you're ripe for tomato season
- Well, if the faggot does fix him up baby,
I'm gonna fix him up with a star
and no walk-on like yourself.
- Look...
I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings, but I'm not a queer
I got a girl.
- You've got a girl?
You've got a girl! Well, where is she?
Where's your girl?
Where'd she go honey? Where's your girl?
Is she in here?
Help! Help! I think there's a woman in here
- Make the bed, bitch.
Good morning
- Hey Smitty!
You should have brought these big tits with you.
- Fuck! Give me the rest! Give me those snaps!
- That's to have a real bump!

- Here it is, Smitty. You don'have to take...
- Out!

- Well, you're just too good for the friggin world, bitch!
Why don't you stop it and get off.
- Give me the job. I'll fix her up real good.
- She'll get it soon enough
Poor bitch!
Look at yourself...
Why don't you fix your clothes?
You ain't had a freaking thing that fit you
since you fell through the door
- I get enough.
- Well, I like everything special Mona
I can't feel sexy in rags
- I don't really care what I look like in here
- Obviously
You see Smitty,
I try to sharpen up the chicks that I like
and the guys.
- I go get something for my headache
- Why don't you get something for your headache, baby?
Come on, I'll help you.
Poor abused Mona.
- Mr. Peters! Mr. Peters!
- It's pay day?
- Mr. Peters, you didn't make my bed.
- Knock it off, you guys.
- Let me tell you about mama's independence.
First god damn day she was here dear,
she tripped into the gymnasium.
She was going to be friendly, see...
Well, a bunch of the dudes were playing basketball
and they spot dumbass down along the side.
so they come around the store room to get some equipment
and she goes, alone.
Oh let's see now where in the world could that equipment may be
Is it in here?
Eight guys follow her in, closed the door
and bang her into the floor.
She had to hold onto the wall just to
walk for a week
Now she's...
public property.
Honey, you can't be independent in here
unless you got somebody to back you up
and one is a lot better than eight.
- How can they get away with something like that?
- Oh well, it was an accident.
Wasn't it Rocky?
It was a terrible, terrible accident
- Hey Rocket,
I know you're going steady man.
That's terrific!
Why don't you ask your girlfriend if she wants to go gangbang, eh?
- Ain't you supposed to give me a work assignment or something?
- After breakfast.
- Give me some toilet paper, man.
- Who are you?
- Maybe you'll come work in the tailor shop with us
- She's our little working girl over here. Mona.
See, she spends all day
sewing pants for all the guys to wear.
She only got one complaint,
she can't find nothing in them once she has finished.
- Is that what I'm maybe doing all day,
for Christ sake! Sewing pants?
- Oh honey. I doubt it.
The tailor shop and the laundry room are especially for the girls.
- Did you see my toothpaste?
- But I love the laundry since it made me a full lady.
It's the only place left in here I can still get bleached,
keep myself a natural blonde.
- It's easier to show your ass over an all full tub
than under a sewing machine.
- You've got a one-track mind, Rocky.
It's all dirt.
- Yeah!
My shelf's clean
- Oh well, I don't see how, dear.
Every time you get in the shower you got it up somebody's ditch
- I think you have something on your nose, darling.
- What'you're staring at, mr. big shit?
- What you think you do...
- Put it back!
- Okay
mother.
You eat it
- Got my nose!
All right, all right! Get ou the way! Come on! Move! Move!
Hey, Get out the way
- Shut up
- He fucked my nose
- Come on!
- Order! Order!
- Get up!
- All stable! Stable!
Steady up! Steady up! Look at your arms.
Bridges...completely smashed.
Steady! It's good.
That's it. That's it. Hold it, hold it.
- Oh god! Jesus!
- Smitty?
- Yeah...
- Did you see Mona?
- Oh...I...I think he's in the library.
- Hooray for
- You love it?
- You know, it's really peaceful here
with Rocky not talking.
- I hope they leave him in there to rot.
- Even Jan...
- Jan who?
Jan...
- He's like a different person when
Rocky is not around.
- What that is supposed to mean, doctor?
- I mean, he's not so nervous and all that.
- But she makes me nervous about all her reading shit.
You know she's gonna do Shakespeare at the Christmas show
Shakespeare...at the Christmas show.
Reading...What she is trying to prove?
- It's a relief to read once in a while.
- There are other ways to get you relieved.
- Queenie...
- Yes...?
- Cooler
- Tomorrow's another day.
- Come on, you can't move your bishop like that.
- What do you want?
- You're sweet there
- If you don't leave me alone, I'm gonna call a guard
- Good idea. I'll call him.
Hey guard!
- Playing your funny games again, eh?
- Rocky...
we're just having some fun
It wouldn't hurt the kid
- Fuck off!
- Come on, you guys.
- Uff...thanks.
So...

- Just now.
- Yeah, good.
- Shit, man! You can on...
- Hmm...what about them...Catso?
- He won't bother you anymore
- Why doesn't somebody do something?
- Ain't. Nobody is gonna mess for a man getting his oats
- Uh...Uh...

- Jesus that could be me!
- But it isn't
Hey, come on!
Let's have some fun.

- Yeah, he's always asleep.

- Menthol?
- Excuse me
- Stocks are a bit low, but I can get you a few things.

I've been using laundry bleach. Have you read it?
It's doing a funny scuffing, odd number on my head
Oh... and Mona wants some aspirin

I've got my routine worked out.
Are you ready for Mona, dear?
She's going to do Shakespeare,
but not me. I am going to dress a robe
18 yards of black cotton
Mona's gonna sort herself blind
and I think I'm getting a pair of heels
warden's cosh made.
- Jesus, she must be big!
- I'll fit in the goddamn shoes if I have to chop my toes off!
Mirror, oh mirror...
Can you think of anything I can use for a wig?
- Wig?
- I give you some cotton batting
It will make you look like one of them...sex symbol.

Cheese it, the cops.

Just get what you can. Right baby? And I'll pick it up later.
Goodbye boys, goodbye, bye!
Oh, I'm glad to see you're getting better

Goodbye Ben, goodbye
I'll be back in the morning with the prune douche.
Well, thank you.
Can't go on. All my marijuana is gone...

- Yeah
Far out!
- God!
- Fuck!

Half hour lock up...
Half hour lock up, you guys.
Half hour lock up, you guys.
Make it snappy
- That Catso is going to kill me
before he gets to the sun city
The pusher
- Hmm... you know Smitty, I have been thinking, man,
not too sharp.
- What do you mean?
- Well...
I don't know
There's some things that you need to know and you just...
I don't think you know it man, you know?
Like you gotta watch out for the faggots around here.
- Oh I don't know...
I've never known any before
- Ah, ah...
I don't think you've been around very much, have you?
- Not with that kind anyway
Oh yeah, Well...
I'll tell you something now.
Every chance they get
right like that.
- It sounds like you've had a lot of experience with them
- Yeah, an overdose.
No more.
But I'll tell you something
When I get out of this place,
back in the streets again
I wanna give me a couple of sharp chiks
and put them out on the hustle for me.
That...
that...where is their place.
- And...
- Women
Let me tell you man,
they were falling all over my ass...
I mean...
I had also this rich cust...
just to make a quick buck, you know
I took him for just about everything he had
I had it made.
I had a Park Avenue penthouse,
weekly allowance,
anything I wanted I got, man.
I had eyes for an XK,
I got it
and I loved that car
- Buy for you?
- Yeah, I put the jack
One night, I guess I must have really been stoned because...
he talked me into the real freak scene.
Yes, I am root, you know?
I don't know...
He wanted to turn around and do it to me
I left him strapped to the bedpost, I split
- What happened?
- I sold the car, most of the jewelry,
took off to the coast
That son of a bitch got me picked up
for car theft.
When I'm back out in the streets again
I'm gonna even the score up.
You know Smitty, hmm...
I think I could make a real sharp guide to you.
You have to...
open yourself up to a little advice
- Like what?
- You can't get chummy with the whole joint,
especially the fags.
- You know I'm sure as hell that no one has been thinking I'm a queer.
- I'll tell you something man,
you're a sitting duck for a gang bang if you haven't got an old man.
I'd like to be your old man.
Well, what do you say?
- I don't know
- You want those guys to pile on you the way they do on Mona?
- No
- Well?
- Well... what do you mean?
I mean, hmm...
Like a buddy
- Yeah
Like I kill any son of a bitch who lays
a hand on you
Look after each other
- Okay
Okay and thanks
All right
- Anyone get cleaned up?
- Oh yeah. I guess we should
- Hey, why don't we take a shower?
- Not sure or what?
- Why not?
- I had one this morning
- Fucking, I want you to take another one, is it?
I like company
- Tomorrow, right?
- Right now
- No, thanks.
- Look, I like my boys clean

Listen, when she finishes the top would you iron it for me?

What's that page thing?

Do you want to hear it?

And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
- Wait a second...
when in disgust...

on the outside
there's a little Chinese restaurant
Chinese owns it, but Rocky runs it
Now, anybody that gives me a bad time,
my boys hold him and I change his face a little bit.
- You don't like him swing too free, uh?
Got to hold him for you?
- There's a spot across in the park
I'll give you another chance
Guess who runs that?
- The park commissioner
- I run things on the outside
and I run them in here too.
- All right Rocky, we get the point
- Leave him alone
- Don't talk to me wit
- Just don't touch him
Lay off! That's all
- Please Rocky, we were just...
- Shut up
You shouldn't talk to me like that
You try to put me down in front of Mona?
- You put yourself down
- You shouldn't talk to me like that
I've been fixing it up with Driver for us
to move into d-dorm together
I've got plans for us now.
- Yeah well, let's not overdo this together and shit, uh...
- Okay
I guess I'll have to arrange for the extra gym tomorrow, Smitty
Those in the dorm that they wanna meet you.
Initiation they call it
Don't forget about tomorrow, Smith.
- No
- No, what?
- No...no extra gym.
- Don't get smart with me,
You understand?
And don't tell me who I can slap around
Now, uh...
who is your man, eh?
Let's go
Come on
- Help!
- Stick
- Help!
- Oh, help! I've been followed
- Well boys, do you have a nice shower?
- All right, I don't want to know what you've all been doing
while mother was out shopping
- And I wanna know what the hell you do up that hospital?
- I showed the surgeon my stretch marks
- I bet if I give you a quick frisk right
now
I'd find myself
scissors and maybe a sharp scalp
tucked in the simil pants, eh?
- Oh god do!
I can't wait to feel your hard, callous hands
on my satin smooth body.
- I have to assume you have syphilis
- Who's she?
Any relation to gonorrhea?
- Okay, smart ass
- Excuse me.
- But of course, ah
- You know sir, the way you've been belching and turning green
maybe your stomach ulcer is going to sour in the cancer
I'll pardon you,
will the rest be up in a minute?
- What do you do with the rest of that cook you get from the hospital?
I bet that goes in your backside
- Sir, it's really no secret
I just take the cold cream and I get a little dust, you see,
and I mix them together very carefully
and then I sell it to the screws for mascara.
Oh, it's the latest thing in my new line of pig products.
- From one pig to another
- Yeah, I hope this fucking time I get a pair of pants with crease on it.
- It's just too, too bad man. We ain't gonna get it.
- Rocksy!
- You aren't up too much these days, eh?
What's the matter? Your chicken?
Yeah, maybe your chicken when you ain't got a thing up in your hand, eh?
I was solitary
Cold?
You know Rockette, you ain't seen nothing yet. You know?
See...
if I don't get you, I get the little punk of yours
You better keep out of the gym, you know what I mean?
I kick his ass if he dares...
- Catso!
- What?
- Come here.
Leave Smitty alone
- Oh, don't tell me you got eyes for him too, eh?
- I didn't say that
I said leave the kid alone
- I ain't interested in him. He bugs me. That's all.
- Hey...
that's all.
You dig it?
- I dig and I'm not gonna touch him.
You know rat face,
you keep fucking around with that college fag, you know
you see he may turn around one day and
kick you right in the ass.
You dig, eh?
- Hey,wait a minute! Where's my lighter, eh?
Oh jesus christ! Somebody took my...
Rocket! Hey Rocket!

- What's the hassle?
- That man, he...my lighter
Come on give me my lighther, man
- What...
- Mr. guard!
- What's the problem here, Ferguson?
Can't you handle the prisoners properly?
- This man seems to think he's lost something
and he probably left it in his cell.
- No, bullshit! He took my lighter, sir.
- Do you accuse one of these men
of taking your property , Cazzolino?
- Yes that's right sir. I think Tibbett took it.
That's right. I know he took it.
I left it back there he took it
- That's a serious charge, Cazzolino.
- Well, you see sir, I want my lighter back.
You see, I had it a long time,
its got Saint Christopher on it but...
- I don't care if it has a star of David
on it, Cazzolino.
Peters, search this man please.
- Believe there is a lighter here, sir
- Well...
Well...
This is your lighter Cazzolino?
I don't see any saints or virgins on it
- No, that ain't mine sir.
You see sir, mine has like the back...
- I see that..
I'm afraid, you're a troublemaker Cazzolino.
- Oh jesus christ! I mean you got to believe me.
You see, I left my lighter back there. The two people...
- You'd like us to search Ferguson, a longtime trustee.
Is what that you suggest, Cazzolino?
- Oh no...Sir please,I don't want any trouble. You see...
I mean... I had this lighter a long time,
I just want my lighter back.
- You won't ask nothing Cazzolino.
- You've made a serious charge of theft against a fellow inmate
and it's been proven false.
Well, you won't get off so lightly this time Cazzolino.
- Sir...
- Peters
take this man back to his cell.
- Off we go
- Sir, you got to believe me. I left the lighter...
- Shut up
You come with me
- Oh jesus, I did...I mean... oh my god!
Listen, I don't get... I tell you what, I tell you what, sir
I mean...I tell you what... I mean...
Let's make a deal right, I mean let's forget about the lighter, eh?
No...no! No, no please! No, No! No!
God...!
- Aaahh...
- Tired of this bullshit! You prick!
- Which one is it?
- Cazzolino, sir
- Remove the body
- Pneumonia.
- How long was he in the hole?
- He was whipped and beaten
- These things do happen
- Sign the certificate
- Yes, sir
- I got something for you
- I don't need your fucking lighter.
- You do dear
so you can light your oldman's cigarettes.
- I think she's jealous, Smitty
- Of what?
- Maybe because Rocky and Smitty are such good friends.
- Oh, I can tell...
- But you got to stop living in sin, kids.
Come on, come on, legalize it
so you can have 14 babies.
I'm not jealous, Rocky. I'm really not.
But I do hate to see a nice guy playing pussy
to a third-rate hustler.
- Don't push me, faggot.
- Oh, shit!
You're talking to Queenie, baby.
Not your punk, not Mona and not Catso
- How come you're so smart for a homosexual?
- How come you're so dumb for a faggot?
Where did you get the lighter?
It's Catso's,
but he won't need it now, will he?
Screwdriver give you this?
What you have to give him in return?
Anything for old time's sake
Screwdriver told me all about Rocky's first semester here,
when Rocky was a virgin.
Wasn't it Screwdriver who gave you your coming out party?
I believe he made you debutant
of the year.
Did it hurt, Rocky?
- Roll me some smokes for later, Smitty.
Then you can get ready for your shower.
- Help! It's Rocky!
Look, we don't have a lot of time and
I'd like to ask you a question.
Now, I know you don't smoke
and yet you spend half your goddamn time
just rolling smokes for that turd.
Why?
- Can you hear him? We're buddies.
- Why you made that mistake?
When you first came in here, I said to myself
"Miss self,
there's a man,
a man who's gonna wanna be on top
- Of what?
- Of everything
- What am I supposed to do? You pick me an oldman?
- Look, you don't have to punk for Rocky,
unless you dig it.
Now, I know he's got a few friends honey,
but my friends can take care of the storeroom crowd
and you gotta prove yourself in here,
baby.
I can go out there and tell everybody
you're ruling here, goddammit!
If you wrap Rocky up.
- So, what am I supposed to use, crap paper?
- Are you afraid of him?
- Just figured it's the only way
to keep all those other pricks off my back.
- You don't take a shower with him tonight?
- I wish I wasn't.
- Go ahead and I'll give you a six
- What're getting at?
- If something were to happen in there
I would give you six.
- You want me to fight him?
- Well, you got what it takes.
- All stored up.
- Then let it go.
Look, you won't have to roll any more of his cigarettes,
you won't have to make his bed,
you won't have to shine his shoes,
you won't have to kiss his ass
and you won't have to get fucked every night.
Come on!
All you got to do is go in there and turn on the shower,
all the faucets, the regular drip.
And when he's not looking, pearl harbor the prick!
- What's in it for you?
- A mink coat.
Look, I just don't like to see you getting pushed
Hi darling, how was the funeral?
Was Catso there?
- Come on Smitty, let's go get the shower.
I'm feeling real good tonight
You'll learn how to roll these things.
- Hum...
- You can watch, if you want
- I wish I could!
- All right ladies and gentlemen,
we're gonna practice our Christmas carols.
Come on everybody!
Fuck!
You're ready?
♫ Silent night... ♫
♫ holy night ♫ that's then...

Poor dear, he got busted in Chicago
but your good fairy came through.
Make a wish
Aahhh...
Ah...shhh...
Mona did such a wonderful job with her Shakespeare

but if you want your freedom

Shit, that's pretty!
When you're out with me
you're out on bail
My hips are tripped to take you
out of jail and
as you can see
you can sizzle on me.
and it's free, daddy
It's free
When you're sad, I'll give your head a rest
I'll be glad to give your head a rest...remember Rocky...
My jobs can all be trusted
I'm bad you got busted
and it's free to strive for,
it's free
Oh, they work.
Shine your head.
- That's enough. Let's get out of here.
- No you don't!
Thank you! Fuck you! Now get out!
- Roll that pervert in the hole
- Freeze
- I want this under control!
- A week in the hole will fix your ass.
real good, Queenie.
- Promise
- Oh, Rocky...
hmm...
I think I want this shelf
You think you could hmm... move my stuff up and
put your stuff in the bottom
I like a lot if you could do that right now, Rocky
Please
Yeah...
I like it.
- Humm.. Rocky,
when you're through there you think you could...
move your stuff out of the way and
move my stuff over here?
I think I want this bit.
- Hum...it's mine
That bit's mine, it belongs to me.
- Wrong! It used to belong to you,
but
I want it.
- Okay man. If you want it you can have it.
I just don't want any trouble, okay?
- Good
Now, if you'll...
just move my stuff over for me
- What are you studying in for, man?
I said if you want the bed you can have it, just...
move it yourself, okay?
- Rocky, I don't think you understand
You're gonna move it
- No.
- No what?
- No, I'm not gonna move it.
- You're kidding...
Come on Rocky
You're gonna move it
Aren't you, Rocky?
Heh?
Heh Rocky?
Hmm...
Ehe...
Ehe...
Ehe...
Ehe...
Rocky...
Gonna movie it, aren't you?
Ehe...ehe...
Ehe...
Ehe...
- You son of a bitch!
I kill you. My ass!
- Come on...come on
- Tebbet, put down right now that damn shiv, stupid basket!
- He started it
- Put down that goddamn bedding and come with me.
- You're not listening to me. I said he started it
- This means you're gonna finish your sentence
in permanent segregation today.
- Wait a minute!
- I'll give you one last chance to come on out
- The bitches are all in this together, ain't you?
Ain't you?
- Put down that shiv and come on out
- Why don't you just come in here and take it from me?
- Okay Tebbet, okay we'll play it your way.
Watch them. Son of a bitch.
- I' ll get to you, little bastard!
- Get your ass down here!
- We'll get you....come...
- Go ahead! You dirty little bastards!
- I love you! I love you!
- Jesus christ! I think we got a suicide
What are you staring at me for? You prick!
- You sound happy, how come?
- I am.
Rocky's out of the way
I haven't to put up with Queenie's shit anymore
Now I'm just sorry I didn't get to push Rocky's face into the floor one more time
- It's too late for that
- Yeah
You know Jan,
I've been thinking about you and me.
- What do you mean?
- You know what I mean
- How come you never talk about your life on the outside?
- What to say?
- How'd you get in here?
- Got busted for grass. My old man turned me in.
And how about you?
- It just happened
- How can I think that getting you in here just happened?
- My life's like that.
I accept whatever happens.
- Well, tell me the lot.
- I'm sorry
It's just that I don't think I can tell you.
- Jesus, forget I asked
- Okay
I was walking home from the campus one night,
and these four guys came over and started to hassle me.
They pushed me around
into this hallway of that apartment building
They took my money and then thought...
they raped me.
Finally a cop came over and stopped them,
but in court they said that I'd come on to them
- Did you?
- Of course not
My lawyer didn't have time to prepare a proper defense
six months
- Well, things are gonna be different from now on
- Different?
What do you mean by that?
- I mean I'm on my way to be a politician
and I don't have to take anybody's crap anymore.
I gonna even few things up
- It can't be done
- Shit! What I wanna and I'm saying is
from now on
you and I are gonna get the best of everything.
New shirts, lightweight boots,
anything good that's going around we're gonna get in on.
What do you say to that?
- What do you expect me to say?
I've heard all that before.
- Well, you might say thanks as I may have to say to Driver.
You might even say I like you Smitty
- What's happening to you, Smitty?
- What do you mean?
Look, I discovered I'm human.
Come on, you're not blind, who's been acting like your old man lately?
- I have an old man, you know that. I don't want that situation.
- You just think you don't. Look, Mona...
When I came in here I didn't open down
I made a few stupid moves, but I'm learning.
- I can see that.
- Look,
I don't have to give you all this stuff, you know what I mean.
Haven't you got any feelings for me?
- Sure, I have Smitty
I'm not the kind you're getting at.
Not with you.
- What did you say?
- I said
not with you, Smitty.
- What are you saving yourself for that bunch of bastards in the gym?
Is that what you like? Being forced into a corner, eh?
- Better that way!
- Better? Look, I know different.
Any guy that grabs you, digs you, I've seen it
- I've got no choice.
- Hey, I thought you liked me
- I do, Smitty.
I like you a lot.
- See, I knew it. Don't be scared.
- Smitty, stop this!
- Come on, we haven't got all day
- Smitty, you're looking for a girl
- What, I smell or something? What the hell is wrong with my body?
- Please Smitty, it's very...
please don't ask me to.
- Why not? You've done it before.
- It's not the same thing.
What my body has to do is one thing,
but who I am...my mind...
- Shut up! What are you trying to do to me?
- What are you trying to do to me?
- Oh, shit! Screw off!
- Look,
you've got power now
What you want from me is sex
and all you're offering me is indifference.
I don't want that,
not from you.
- Do you think I wanted your goddamn body?
I just wanta little reaction to mine
only because I'm caught in this hole.
You little cunt!
- You see?
You see?
- Oh...god!
Help me
Help me
God, please...
Somebody help me...
- Smitty...
Smitty...
I love you
- What is this shit?
Get up! Get up!
Get up, come on!
- Rocky's...
Get, god damn it!
- What are you doing?
- This is Rocky's...bitch!
- Leave him alone!
- Bitch!
- Queenie, what are you doing?
- Alarm to 545 so forth!
Get up from, Smith.
- I didn't do anything. He started it.
- Bullshit!
- You can talk your story to the warden tomorrow.
Now come out, now smart ass!
- No. He said he was going to kill him.
- That's her problem
Now are you coming out or we have
to move over there and catch you.
- I didn't do anything. He started the whole thing.
- I 'll give you one last chance, man.
- Fuck off! I didn't do anything
- Back, bitch!
- No
- Bye, bitch.
Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
- I did, bring him back! Bring him back!
- There'll be other Smittys
- Fuck off!
- Mona...
if you weren't such a goddamn, Mona...
Well honey, I could almost like you
- Get off!
No...stop
Don't close! No! Please!
No! Let me...No...
Stop it! I'll get you..sons of the bitch!

Have you talked to Rocky?
Rocky thinks he's the big rooster in here
- Well!
- Hey punk...welcome home!
- It's my first time
- I guess you shouldn't be here at all, heh?
Did you get a bum rap?
- What the judge wants to know, honey, is...

- Maybe you're like myself.
You make all of your house calls when nobody's at home
- No
- You can trust me
Come on baby, what'd you do
Were you picked up in a park?
Did you roll a drunk?
Did you rape the girl next door?
-Look, I...I really don't feel like talking about it right now. If you don't mind...
- You're the shy type, eh?
- No, I just mind my own business.
- Well honey, you better tell us
because i can't stand the suspense.
You can ask Mona.
She screwed all around the mulberry bush.
Little bitch!
I had to go all the way to
the freaking office to find out.
- Why don't you leave him alone?
- How long's your sentence?
- Six months.
- Mine too.
But you get used to the routine.
- It's your ambition kid, you wanna kiss ass
- Will you please ignore him.
- It's hard to do.
- Not if you listen to the politicians
- Politicians in here?
- Honey,
we have all kinds of politicians in here.
Now, I'm a politician.
Mother is indeed a politician
You see, we're the ones who are smart enough
to go right up to the front office
and get a few of the better things, you know
Well, we get , hmm, new shirts
and we get press trousers...
I get lightweight booties
and of course we get tailor-made cigarettes
- I don't smoke
- You just take your deck of weed and you give them to your mother
- My mother?
- Me honey. Who else?
- Tailor mades are hard to get,
but they'll give you tobacco once a week
and you can use that to trade for things.
- Thank you.
I'll wangle you a good deal
and you won't have to do any hard time.
I do have friends
- The faggot
wants to fix you up with an old man.
She thinks you're ripe for tomato season
- Well, if the faggot does fix him up baby,
I'm gonna fix him up with a star
and no walk-on like yourself.
- Look...
I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings, but I'm not a queer
I got a girl.
- You've got a girl?
You've got a girl! Well, where is she?
Where's your girl?
Where'd she go honey? Where's your girl?
Is she in here?
Help! Help! I think there's a woman in here
- Make the bed, bitch.
Good morning
- Hey Smitty!
You should have brought these big tits with you.
- Fuck! Give me the rest! Give me those snaps!
- That's to have a real bump!
- Come on. oh Rock...
- Give it...Come on! Give me those...
- Rocky...Rocky...
- Give me those pictures...
- Help me...
- Ugh...come on!
- Help me...
- I don'have them! I don't have them
little boy.
- Come on
- Betcha...
- Here it is, Smitty. You don'have to take...
- Out!
- I was just trying to help
- Well, you're just too good for the friggin world, bitch!
Why don't you stop it and get off.
- Give me the job. I'll fix her up real good.
- She'll get it soon enough
Poor bitch!
Look at yourself...
Why don't you fix your clothes?
You ain't had a freaking thing that fit you
since you fell through the door
- I get enough.
- Well, I like everything special Mona
I can't feel sexy in rags
- I don't really care what I look like in here
- Obviously
You see Smitty,
I try to sharpen up the chicks that I like
and the guys.
- I go get something for my headache
- Why don't you get something for your headache, baby?
Come on, I'll help you.
Poor abused Mona.
- Mr. Peters! Mr. Peters!
- It's pay day?
- Mr. Peters, you didn't make my bed.
- Knock it off, you guys.
- Let me tell you about mama's independence.
First god damn day she was here dear,
she tripped into the gymnasium.
She was going to be friendly, see...
Well, a bunch of the dudes were playing basketball
and they spot dumbass down along the side.
so they come around the store room to get some equipment
and she goes, alone.
Oh let's see now where in the world could that equipment may be
Is it in here?
Eight guys follow her in, closed the door
and bang her into the floor.
She had to hold onto the wall just to
walk for a week
Now she's...
public property.
Honey, you can't be independent in here
unless you got somebody to back you up
and one is a lot better than eight.
- How can they get away with something like that?
- Oh well, it was an accident.
Wasn't it Rocky?
It was a terrible, terrible accident
- Hey Rocket,
I know you're going steady man.
That's terrific!
Why don't you ask your girlfriend if she wants to go gangbang, eh?
- Ain't you supposed to give me a work assignment or something?
- After breakfast.
- Give me some toilet paper, man.
- Who are you?
- Maybe you'll come work in the tailor shop with us
- She's our little working girl over here. Mona.
See, she spends all day
sewing pants for all the guys to wear.
She only got one complaint,
she can't find nothing in them once she has finished.
- Is that what I'm maybe doing all day,
for Christ sake! Sewing pants?
- Oh honey. I doubt it.
The tailor shop and the laundry room are especially for the girls.
- Did you see my toothpaste?
- But I love the laundry since it made me a full lady.
It's the only place left in here I can still get bleached,
keep myself a natural blonde.
- It's easier to show your ass over an all full tub
than under a sewing machine.
- You've got a one-track mind, Rocky.
It's all dirt.
- Yeah!
My shelf's clean
- Oh well, I don't see how, dear.
Every time you get in the shower you got it up somebody's ditch
- I think you have something on your nose, darling.
- What'you're staring at, mr. big shit?
- What you think you do...
- Put it back!
- Okay
mother.
You eat it
- Got my nose!
All right, all right! Get ou the way! Come on! Move! Move!
Hey, Get out the way
- Shut up
- He fucked my nose
- Come on!
- Order! Order!
- Get up!
- All stable! Stable!
Steady up! Steady up! Look at your arms.
Bridges...completely smashed.
Steady! It's good.
That's it. That's it. Hold it, hold it.
- Oh god! Jesus!
- Smitty?
- Yeah...
- Did you see Mona?
- Oh...I...I think he's in the library.
- Hooray for
- You love it?
- You know, it's really peaceful here
with Rocky not talking.
- I hope they leave him in there to rot.
- Even Jan...
- Jan who?
Jan...
- He's like a different person when
Rocky is not around.
- What that is supposed to mean, doctor?
- I mean, he's not so nervous and all that.
- But she makes me nervous about all her reading shit.
You know she's gonna do Shakespeare at the Christmas show
Shakespeare...at the Christmas show.
Reading...What she is trying to prove?
- It's a relief to read once in a while.
- There are other ways to get you relieved.
- Queenie...
- Yes...?
- Cooler
- Tomorrow's another day.
- Come on, you can't move your bishop like that.
- What do you want?
- You're sweet there
- If you don't leave me alone, I'm gonna call a guard
- Good idea. I'll call him.
Hey guard!
- Playing your funny games again, eh?
- Rocky...
we're just having some fun
It wouldn't hurt the kid
- Fuck off!
- Come on, you guys.
- Uff...thanks.
So...

- Just now.
- Yeah, good.
- Shit, man! You can on...
- Hmm...what about them...Catso?
- He won't bother you anymore
- Why doesn't somebody do something?
- Ain't. Nobody is gonna mess for a man getting his oats
- Uh...Uh...
- Nobody.
- Jesus that could be me!
- But it isn't
Hey, come on!
Let's have some fun.
- Lock up. lock up
- Oh hurry sir, please,for god's sake!
I'm on an errand of mercy...Oh...
Merci beaucoup
Da Dan...
Hi fellas!
Here darling. Read! Don't watch this damn thing,
you'll get pimples
Oh how sweet, but you may rise.
You'd better get up, dear. That's how I started.
So guys... cigarettes... vaseline
- Hey, bring it over.
- Quick, quick, bring it over.
- We got a man with taste
How are you, baby?
Doctor this patient is dead
- Welcome to death row
- Hello Rabbit
- Tell me something
How..uh..did you uh get this bit?
- From Screwdriver. Who else?
- Ahh...
- He wants me.
- How's your love life?
- Oh...a bit on the sick side like you can see.
- Is he asleep?
- Yeah, he's always asleep.
- My mother has a small shopping list here
- Menthol?
- Excuse me
- Stocks are a bit low, but I can get you a few things.
- All right. First of all I need some peroxide.
I've been using laundry bleach. Have you read it?
It's doing a funny scuffing, odd number on my head
Oh... and Mona wants some aspirin
and I need adhesive tape,
not this shit, two inches, eh?
And some cold cream
And do you have any uppers?
- Speed kills, baby. You're still taking that shit?
- Only when I swallow, dear. Have you got them or not?
- Yeah, I got it
Just the uppers? You don't want any downers?
- Downers? Why do I need downers?
This dump is a downer, right?
I need ups darling, ups. ups
- Do you uh need anything for that new kid in your cell?
- I've got everything for the new kid in my cell.
. Oh...
Get ready for the Christmas show, eh?
- I'll bet your house I get ready for the Christmas show.
I've got my routine worked out.
Are you ready for Mona, dear?
She's going to do Shakespeare,
but not me. I am going to dress a robe
18 yards of black cotton
Mona's gonna sort herself blind
and I think I'm getting a pair of heels
warden's cosh made.
- Jesus, she must be big!
- I'll fit in the goddamn shoes if I have to chop my toes off!
Mirror, oh mirror...
Can you think of anything I can use for a wig?
- Wig?
- I give you some cotton batting
It will make you look like one of them...sex symbol.
- Ahh...Ohhh...
Cheese it, the cops.
I'm leaving sir
Just get what you can. Right baby? And I'll pick it up later.
Goodbye boys, goodbye, bye!
Oh, I'm glad to see you're getting better
- Hey man, you didn't get my vaseline
- Stuff it!
Goodbye Ben, goodbye
I'll be back in the morning with the prune douche.
Well, thank you.
Can't go on. All my marijuana is gone...
- What a bummer!
- Here
- What about Holy Face?
- That's where I got it.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah
Far out!
- God!
- Fuck!
- Half our lock up, you guys.
Half hour lock up...
Half hour lock up, you guys.
Half hour lock up, you guys.
Make it snappy
- That Catso is going to kill me
before he gets to the sun city
The pusher
- Hmm... you know Smitty, I have been thinking, man,
not too sharp.
- What do you mean?
- Well...
I don't know
There's some things that you need to know and you just...
I don't think you know it man, you know?
Like you gotta watch out for the faggots around here.
- Oh I don't know...
I've never known any before
- Ah, ah...
I don't think you've been around very much, have you?
- Not with that kind anyway
Oh yeah, Well...
I'll tell you something now.
Every chance they get
right like that.
- It sounds like you've had a lot of experience with them
- Yeah, an overdose.
No more.
But I'll tell you something
When I get out of this place,
back in the streets again
I wanna give me a couple of sharp chiks
and put them out on the hustle for me.
That...
that...where is their place.
- And...
- Women
Let me tell you man,
they were falling all over my ass...
I mean...
I had also this rich cust...
just to make a quick buck, you know
I took him for just about everything he had
I had it made.
I had a Park Avenue penthouse,
weekly allowance,
anything I wanted I got, man.
I had eyes for an XK,
I got it
and I loved that car
- Buy for you?
- Yeah, I put the jack
One night, I guess I must have really been stoned because...
he talked me into the real freak scene.
Yes, I am root, you know?
I don't know...
He wanted to turn around and do it to me
I left him strapped to the bedpost, I split
- What happened?
- I sold the car, most of the jewelry,
took off to the coast
That son of a bitch got me picked up
for car theft.
When I'm back out in the streets again
I'm gonna even the score up.
You know Smitty, hmm...
I think I could make a real sharp guide to you.
You have to...
open yourself up to a little advice
- Like what?
- You can't get chummy with the whole joint,
especially the fags.
- You know I'm sure as hell that no one has been thinking I'm a queer.
- I'll tell you something man,
you're a sitting duck for a gang bang if you haven't got an old man.
I'd like to be your old man.
Well, what do you say?
- I don't know
- You want those guys to pile on you the way they do on Mona?
- No
- Well?
- Well... what do you mean?
I mean, hmm...
Like a buddy
- Yeah
Like I kill any son of a bitch who lays
a hand on you
Look after each other
- Okay
Okay and thanks
All right
- Anyone get cleaned up?
- Oh yeah. I guess we should
- Hey, why don't we take a shower?
- Not sure or what?
- Why not?
- I had one this morning
- Fucking, I want you to take another one, is it?
I like company
- Tomorrow, right?
- Right now
- No, thanks.
- Look, I like my boys clean
- I'm clean.
- Come on.
- Hands off!
I mean it, Rocky
- Now look, either with me
or you're gonna spread to the whole cell block.
- All block...
Please, Rocky
Hey...come on
- Take your clothes off
- No...
- Come on...
- No...
- I said take your clothes off
- Please...no...
- Oh my goodness ladies, cover yourselves
Here comes the man of the house
Good morning mr. man
- You don't do that anymore
He does
- Yesterday we had two men,
now we only got one
me!
- Oh yeah,
do it baby,
do it baby
and when you get through with that
Cinderella,
get your ass in the fireplace.
- Oh louder dear, louder
- I found these for your costume
- For?
- For the gloves.
- Gloves?
A long pair of black socks?
- Don't worry, they'll look all right with the bells.
- Honey, they better...
Look why don't you measure me while you got the chance?
Come on honey. I ain't got all day
- 47
- I'm the tallest showgirl in the business.
- Stand...straight
38.
- Mona, your hands are cold
With christ! Do you think you're measuring a peasant?
Well, what is it?
- 33.
- Oh, shit!
- 28.
- Mona, what about the tits, eh?
The booze, the tits.
- Are three too many?
What size do you think they ought to be, Daddy?
Not the sheet!
You're gonna spoil your lunch
Oh, a con connoisseur
What's the verdict?
- 48
- Oh, bingo!
- My costume is almost ready, but it needs ironing Queenie.
- Well, I hope it gets ironed, honey
Listen, when she finishes the top would you iron it for me?
- What about iron you in?
- Oh, thank you
Mona,
these are very nice, honey.
- Mona,
do something about Queenie's flat ass.
- You just fix the goddamn machine, all right?
- Baby, it is a flat ass.
- Wash your face!
- Smitty!
Hey, Smitty!
- What? What do you want?
- Roll me some smokes
- What's your girlfriend's name?
- Kathy
- She's pretty.
- Thanks
- Oh, that's my parents and my twin sister Ophira
- Ophira?
- Yeah
- It's nice
What's that page thing?
- Oh, it's a sonnet. Shakespeare
Do you want to hear it?
- Sure
- When in disgrace
with fortune in men's eyes
I all alone
beweep my outcast state
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
- Wait a second...
when in disgust...
- When in disgrace
with fortune and men's eyes
I all alone
beweep my outcast state
- Yeah
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
and look upon myself
and curse my fate,
wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
featured...
- That doesn't sit on my bed anymore
- That makes two of us then
- What's mine is yours, kid
- Yeah, but I only want what's mine
- Now look...
on the outside
there's a little Chinese restaurant
Chinese owns it, but Rocky runs it
Now, anybody that gives me a bad time,
my boys hold him and I change his face a little bit.
- You don't like him swing too free, uh?
Got to hold him for you?
- There's a spot across in the park
I'll give you another chance
Guess who runs that?
- The park commissioner
- I run things on the outside
and I run them in here too.
- All right Rocky, we get the point
- Leave him alone
- Don't talk to me wit
- Just don't touch him
Lay off! That's all
- Please Rocky, we were just...
- Shut up
You shouldn't talk to me like that
You try to put me down in front of Mona?
- You put yourself down
- You shouldn't talk to me like that
I've been fixing it up with Driver for us
to move into d-dorm together
I've got plans for us now.
- Yeah well, let's not overdo this together and shit, uh...
- Okay
I guess I'll have to arrange for the extra gym tomorrow, Smitty
Those in the dorm that they wanna meet you.
Initiation they call it
Don't forget about tomorrow, Smith.
- No
- No, what?
- No...no extra gym.
- Don't get smart with me,
You understand?
And don't tell me who I can slap around
Now, uh...
who is your man, eh?
Let's go
Come on
- Help!
- Stick
- Help!
- Oh, help! I've been followed
- Well boys, do you have a nice shower?
- All right, I don't want to know what you've all been doing
while mother was out shopping
- And I wanna know what the hell you do up that hospital?
- I showed the surgeon my stretch marks
- I bet if I give you a quick frisk right
now
I'd find myself
scissors and maybe a sharp scalp
tucked in the simil pants, eh?
- Oh god do!
I can't wait to feel your hard, callous hands
on my satin smooth body.
- I have to assume you have syphilis
- Who's she?
Any relation to gonorrhea?
- Okay, smart ass
- Excuse me.
- But of course, ah
- You know sir, the way you've been belching and turning green
maybe your stomach ulcer is going to sour in the cancer
I'll pardon you,
will the rest be up in a minute?
- What do you do with the rest of that cook you get from the hospital?
I bet that goes in your backside
- Sir, it's really no secret
I just take the cold cream and I get a little dust, you see,
and I mix them together very carefully
and then I sell it to the screws for mascara.
Oh, it's the latest thing in my new line of pig products.
- From one pig to another
- Yeah, I hope this fucking time I get a pair of pants with crease on it.
- It's just too, too bad man. We ain't gonna get it.
- Rocksy!
- You aren't up too much these days, eh?
What's the matter? Your chicken?
Yeah, maybe your chicken when you ain't got a thing up in your hand, eh?
I was solitary
Cold?
You know Rockette, you ain't seen nothing yet. You know?
See...
if I don't get you, I get the little punk of yours
You better keep out of the gym, you know what I mean?
I kick his ass if he dares...
- Catso!
- What?
- Come here.
Leave Smitty alone
- Oh, don't tell me you got eyes for him too, eh?
- I didn't say that
I said leave the kid alone
- I ain't interested in him. He bugs me. That's all.
- Hey...
that's all.
You dig it?
- I dig and I'm not gonna touch him.
You know rat face,
you keep fucking around with that college fag, you know
you see he may turn around one day and
kick you right in the ass.
You dig, eh?
- Hey,wait a minute! Where's my lighter, eh?
Oh jesus christ! Somebody took my...
Rocket! Hey Rocket!
What the...come on, give me my lighter, man
- What's the hassle?
- That man, he...my lighter
Come on give me my lighther, man
- What...
- Mr. guard!
- What's the problem here, Ferguson?
Can't you handle the prisoners properly?
- This man seems to think he's lost something
and he probably left it in his cell.
- No, bullshit! He took my lighter, sir.
- Do you accuse one of these men
of taking your property , Cazzolino?
- Yes that's right sir. I think Tibbett took it.
That's right. I know he took it.
I left it back there he took it
- That's a serious charge, Cazzolino.
- Well, you see sir, I want my lighter back.
You see, I had it a long time,
its got Saint Christopher on it but...
- I don't care if it has a star of David
on it, Cazzolino.
Peters, search this man please.
- Believe there is a lighter here, sir
- Well...
Well...
This is your lighter Cazzolino?
I don't see any saints or virgins on it
- No, that ain't mine sir.
You see sir, mine has like the back...
- I see that..
I'm afraid, you're a troublemaker Cazzolino.
- Oh jesus christ! I mean you got to believe me.
You see, I left my lighter back there. The two people...
- You'd like us to search Ferguson, a longtime trustee.
Is what that you suggest, Cazzolino?
- Oh no...Sir please,I don't want any trouble. You see...
I mean... I had this lighter a long time,
I just want my lighter back.
- You won't ask nothing Cazzolino.
- You've made a serious charge of theft against a fellow inmate
and it's been proven false.
Well, you won't get off so lightly this time Cazzolino.
- Sir...
- Peters
take this man back to his cell.
- Off we go
- Sir, you got to believe me. I left the lighter...
- Shut up
You come with me
- Oh jesus, I did...I mean... oh my god!
Listen, I don't get... I tell you what, I tell you what, sir
I mean...I tell you what... I mean...
Let's make a deal right, I mean let's forget about the lighter, eh?
No...no! No, no please! No, No! No!
God...!
- Aaahh...
- Tired of this bullshit! You prick!
- Which one is it?
- Cazzolino, sir
- Remove the body
- Pneumonia.
- How long was he in the hole?
- He was whipped and beaten
- These things do happen
- Sign the certificate
- Yes, sir
- I got something for you
- I don't need your fucking lighter.
- You do dear
so you can light your oldman's cigarettes.
- I think she's jealous, Smitty
- Of what?
- Maybe because Rocky and Smitty are such good friends.
- Oh, I can tell...
- But you got to stop living in sin, kids.
Come on, come on, legalize it
so you can have 14 babies.
I'm not jealous, Rocky. I'm really not.
But I do hate to see a nice guy playing pussy
to a third-rate hustler.
- Don't push me, faggot.
- Oh, shit!
You're talking to Queenie, baby.
Not your punk, not Mona and not Catso
- How come you're so smart for a homosexual?
- How come you're so dumb for a faggot?
Where did you get the lighter?
It's Catso's,
but he won't need it now, will he?
Screwdriver give you this?
What you have to give him in return?
Anything for old time's sake
Screwdriver told me all about Rocky's first semester here,
when Rocky was a virgin.
Wasn't it Screwdriver who gave you your coming out party?
I believe he made you debutant
of the year.
Did it hurt, Rocky?
- Roll me some smokes for later, Smitty.
Then you can get ready for your shower.
- Help! It's Rocky!
Look, we don't have a lot of time and
I'd like to ask you a question.
Now, I know you don't smoke
and yet you spend half your goddamn time
just rolling smokes for that turd.
Why?
- Can you hear him? We're buddies.
- Why you made that mistake?
When you first came in here, I said to myself
"Miss self,
there's a man,
a man who's gonna wanna be on top
- Of what?
- Of everything
- What am I supposed to do? You pick me an oldman?
- Look, you don't have to punk for Rocky,
unless you dig it.
Now, I know he's got a few friends honey,
but my friends can take care of the storeroom crowd
and you gotta prove yourself in here,
baby.
I can go out there and tell everybody
you're ruling here, goddammit!
If you wrap Rocky up.
- So, what am I supposed to use, crap paper?
- Are you afraid of him?
- Just figured it's the only way
to keep all those other pricks off my back.
- You don't take a shower with him tonight?
- I wish I wasn't.
- Go ahead and I'll give you a six
- What're getting at?
- If something were to happen in there
I would give you six.
- You want me to fight him?
- Well, you got what it takes.
- All stored up.
- Then let it go.
Look, you won't have to roll any more of his cigarettes,
you won't have to make his bed,
you won't have to shine his shoes,
you won't have to kiss his ass
and you won't have to get fucked every night.
Come on!
All you got to do is go in there and turn on the shower,
all the faucets, the regular drip.
And when he's not looking, pearl harbor the prick!
- What's in it for you?
- A mink coat.
Look, I just don't like to see you getting pushed
Hi darling, how was the funeral?
Was Catso there?
- Come on Smitty, let's go get the shower.
I'm feeling real good tonight
You'll learn how to roll these things.
- Hum...
- You can watch, if you want
- I wish I could!
- All right ladies and gentlemen,
we're gonna practice our Christmas carols.
Come on everybody!
Fuck!
You're ready?

Poor dear, he got busted in Chicago
but your good fairy came through.
Make a wish
Aahhh...
Ah...shhh...
Mona did such a wonderful job with her Shakespeare
that I'd like to pay my respects.
Mona gave you Shakespeare

Miss Mona is a treat,
but I'm a different.
Queen

Oh, Queenie's just been raptured

but if you want your freedom
here I come.
oh do it again
Shit, that's pretty!
When you're out with me
you're out on bail
My hips are tripped to take you
out of jail and
as you can see
you can sizzle on me.
and it's free, daddy
It's free
When you're sad, I'll give your head a rest
I'll be glad to give your head a rest...remember Rocky...
My jobs can all be trusted
I'm bad you got busted
and it's free to strive for,
it's free
Oh, they work.
Shine your head.
- That's enough. Let's get out of here.
- No you don't!
Thank you! Fuck you! Now get out!
- Roll that pervert in the hole
- Freeze
- I want this under control!
- A week in the hole will fix your ass.
real good, Queenie.
- Promise
- Oh, Rocky...
hmm...
I think I want this shelf
You think you could hmm... move my stuff up and
put your stuff in the bottom
I like a lot if you could do that right now, Rocky
Please
Yeah...
I like it.
- Humm.. Rocky,
when you're through there you think you could...
move your stuff out of the way and
move my stuff over here?
I think I want this bit.
- Hum...it's mine
That bit's mine, it belongs to me.
- Wrong! It used to belong to you,
but
I want it.
- Okay man. If you want it you can have it.
I just don't want any trouble, okay?
- Good
Now, if you'll...
just move my stuff over for me
- What are you studying in for, man?
I said if you want the bed you can have it, just...
move it yourself, okay?
- Rocky, I don't think you understand
You're gonna move it
- No.
- No what?
- No, I'm not gonna move it.
- You're kidding...
Come on Rocky
You're gonna move it
Aren't you, Rocky?
Heh?
Heh Rocky?
Hmm...
Ehe...
Ehe...
Ehe...
Ehe...
Rocky...
Gonna movie it, aren't you?
Ehe...ehe...
Ehe...
Ehe...
- You son of a bitch!
I kill you. My ass!
- Come on...come on
- Tebbet, put down right now that damn shiv, stupid basket!
- He started it
- Put down that goddamn bedding and come with me.
- You're not listening to me. I said he started it
- This means you're gonna finish your sentence
in permanent segregation today.
- Wait a minute!
- I'll give you one last chance to come on out
- The bitches are all in this together, ain't you?
Ain't you?
- Put down that shiv and come on out
- Why don't you just come in here and take it from me?
- Okay Tebbet, okay we'll play it your way.
Watch them. Son of a bitch.
- I' ll get to you, little bastard!
- Get your ass down here!
- We'll get you....come...
- Go ahead! You dirty little bastards!
- I love you! I love you!
- Jesus christ! I think we got a suicide
What are you staring at me for? You prick!
- You sound happy, how come?
- I am.
Rocky's out of the way
I haven't to put up with Queenie's shit anymore
Now I'm just sorry I didn't get to push Rocky's face into the floor one more time
- It's too late for that
- Yeah
You know Jan,
I've been thinking about you and me.
- What do you mean?
- You know what I mean
- How come you never talk about your life on the outside?
- What to say?
- How'd you get in here?
- Got busted for grass. My old man turned me in.
And how about you?
- It just happened
- How can I think that getting you in here just happened?
- My life's like that.
I accept whatever happens.
- Well, tell me the lot.
- I'm sorry
It's just that I don't think I can tell you.
- Jesus, forget I asked
- Okay
I was walking home from the campus one night,
and these four guys came over and started to hassle me.
They pushed me around
into this hallway of that apartment building
They took my money and then thought...
they raped me.
Finally a cop came over and stopped them,
but in court they said that I'd come on to them
- Did you?
- Of course not
My lawyer didn't have time to prepare a proper defense
six months
- Well, things are gonna be different from now on
- Different?
What do you mean by that?
- I mean I'm on my way to be a politician
and I don't have to take anybody's crap anymore.
I gonna even few things up
- It can't be done
- Shit! What I wanna and I'm saying is
from now on
you and I are gonna get the best of everything.
New shirts, lightweight boots,
anything good that's going around we're gonna get in on.
What do you say to that?
- What do you expect me to say?
I've heard all that before.
- Well, you might say thanks as I may have to say to Driver.
You might even say I like you Smitty
- What's happening to you, Smitty?
- What do you mean?
Look, I discovered I'm human.
Come on, you're not blind, who's been acting like your old man lately?
- I have an old man, you know that. I don't want that situation.
- You just think you don't. Look, Mona...
When I came in here I didn't open down
I made a few stupid moves, but I'm learning.
- I can see that.
- Look,
I don't have to give you all this stuff, you know what I mean.
Haven't you got any feelings for me?
- Sure, I have Smitty
I'm not the kind you're getting at.
Not with you.
- What did you say?
- I said
not with you, Smitty.
- What are you saving yourself for that bunch of bastards in the gym?
Is that what you like? Being forced into a corner, eh?
- Better that way!
- Better? Look, I know different.
Any guy that grabs you, digs you, I've seen it
- I've got no choice.
- Hey, I thought you liked me
- I do, Smitty.
I like you a lot.
- See, I knew it. Don't be scared.
- Smitty, stop this!
- Come on, we haven't got all day
- Smitty, you're looking for a girl
- What, I smell or something? What the hell is wrong with my body?
- Please Smitty, it's very...
please don't ask me to.
- Why not? You've done it before.
- It's not the same thing.
What my body has to do is one thing,
but who I am...my mind...
- Shut up! What are you trying to do to me?
- What are you trying to do to me?
- Oh, shit! Screw off!
- Look,
you've got power now
What you want from me is sex
and all you're offering me is indifference.
I don't want that,
not from you.
- Do you think I wanted your goddamn body?
I just wanta little reaction to mine
only because I'm caught in this hole.
You little cunt!
- You see?
You see?
- Oh...god!
Help me
Help me
God, please...
Somebody help me...
- Smitty...
Smitty...
I love you
- What is this shit?
Get up! Get up!
Get up, come on!
- Rocky's...
Get, god damn it!
- What are you doing?
- This is Rocky's...bitch!
- Leave him alone!
- Bitch!
- Queenie, what are you doing?
- Alarm to 545 so forth!
Get up from, Smith.
- I didn't do anything. He started it.
- Bullshit!
- You can talk your story to the warden tomorrow.
Now come out, now smart ass!
- No. He said he was going to kill him.
- That's her problem
Now are you coming out or we have
to move over there and catch you.
- I didn't do anything. He started the whole thing.
- I 'll give you one last chance, man.
- Fuck off! I didn't do anything
- Back, bitch!
- No
- Bye, bitch.
Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
- I did, bring him back! Bring him back!
- There'll be other Smittys
- Fuck off!
- Mona...
if you weren't such a goddamn, Mona...
Well honey, I could almost like you
- Get off!
No...stop
Don't close! No! Please!
No! Let me...No...
Stop it! I'll get you..sons of the bitch!
Oh...God...
♫ When in disgrace ♫
♫ with fortune and men's eyes ♫
♫ I all alone ♫
♫ beweep my outcast state, ♫
♫ And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries, ♫
♫ And look upon myself and curse my fate, ♫
♫ Wishing me like to one more rich in hope, ♫
♫ featured like him ♫
♫ like him with friends possessed, ♫
♫ desiring this man's art and that man's scope, ♫
♫ With what I most enjoy contented least; ♫
♫ for thy sweet love ♫
♫ remembered such wealth brings ♫
♫ that then I scorn ♫
♫ to change my state with kings. ♫
