In these chapters, McMurphy suggests that they need a little entertainment... and by entertainment, he means that he would like to see the World Series on the TV because he hasn't miss a World Series ever. Even in jail, he got to watch the World Series. The patients, however, don't want to get the death stare from "B***h Ratched"... (Who could blame them?). And so, like cowards, the patients decide to not vote, to not raise up their hands, for the World Series during the session. McMurphy, disappointed, ignores the patients and they return the favor. He even brings up the subject again, only to be rejected again. Then, one boring day, McMurphy tells everyone that, if he can't watch the World Series here... he will break out of this hell hole and go to a local bar to watch it. One of the patients state that the window is hard to break and he couldn't do it. McMurphy decides to lift up the panel and tells the patients to place bets on him. They all discourage him and know that he can't do it. With all his strength, McMurphy lifts up the panel with vessels popping out of his head and his hands bleeding. Then, he gives up and is too weak to give his money back which is covered in his own blood. Before walking away, he says "I tried... did'nt I? At least I did that...
