After all the patients on the ward are fast asleep, Chief Bromden is wide awake... witnessing the horrors of the night. The black guards go to the nurse's station, take a couple of beers, and lock the door behind them... waving at the patients with evil grins on their face. All of the sudden... (Now, before I tell you what happens next... I want to honestly say that I DON'T know if this scene was real or not... I guess that's the point and I like that...) Anyhoo, Chief Bromden beholds the floor beneath and the ceiling above him open wide and he hears strange radio-like sounds. Above and below him are factory men working vigorously, thousands of them, and they ALL look like living dolls. They march in line and do what their told, like good little workers. Then, all of the sudden... these hooks descend to the ward base and take one of the patients. Chief Bromden is scared... well, you get it.... and goes to sleep with terrible nightmares. The following morning, McMurphy is singing... singing!!! It surprises everyone on the ward because they hadn't heard singing in for-eve-r. McMurphy is having a grand old time and is brushing his teeth in the latrine... WITHOUT PERMISSION. The black guards hear the ruckus and demand to know why McMurphy is brushing his teeth. They say that it isn't ALLOWED to brush one's teeth because (If McMurphy starts doing it... EVERYONE will start doing it...) and so, McMurphy says that he won,t use the toothpaste... but will use baking soda from outside of the trash bin instead. This really ticks off the black guards (One of them pulls Chief Bromden and says clean the floor, you lazy a**!) and they call the head honcho... yep, Nurse Ratched. She is extremely p***ed off, but puts a good face on for the patients that are just waking up. She questions McMurphy, asking WHY on earth he is in a towel and is BRUSHING HIS TEETH. McMurphy does a little dance and says that his "work clothes" were taken from him, disappeared, vanished without a trace. Nurse Ratched b***hes out the oldest black guard with a mop and orders him to get him a new work uniform. McMurphy is also ordered to take off his towel and underneath... McMurphy has a pair of boxers on. McMurphy loves the reaction that Nurse Ratched gets from this.
