If Stroud's paroled and gets a laboratory,
there's no telling what he might do.

1:38:05
He should be working on
human diseases, not birds'.

1:38:08
Paroled? Not much chance of that.
1:38:13
I thought his record was good.
1:38:15
Not in the eyes of the bureau.
1:38:18
His attitude is poor.
He thinks he's a world unto himself,

1:38:21
like we were his own
personal quartermaster corps.

1:38:25
Chemicals,
laboratory equipment, birdseed.

1:38:30
Now he's demanding 25lbs of ice
every day. It's got to stop someplace.

1:38:34
I'd give him 500lbs of ice
a day if he wanted it.

1:38:38
You would, huh?
1:38:41
I wonder if the bureau
isn't afraid of Stroud.

1:38:44
Afraid to let the public know what kind of
a brain they're keeping locked up here.

1:38:48
Doctor, we're keeping
a killer locked up here.

1:38:51
Don't forget it.
1:38:54
I heard from that professor,
the one at the university of Kansas.

1:38:57
He said if I were out, I might have
a good chance to get a research grant.

1:39:01
- What's that?
- Well, they pay you to do research.

1:39:04
Bob! But that's wonderful!
1:39:07
Only one drawback - gettin' out.
1:39:10
Well, how can the parole board
turn you down now?

1:39:13
Boy, they talk about rehabilitation.
This book and the cures you discovered...

1:39:18
What do they want?
1:39:20
I wish you were on that board, Stell.
I'd be strollin' down the avenue right now.

1:39:25
But let's not make any plans.
I've seen too many of 'em go up in smoke.

1:39:29
You still won't let yourself
think about getting out, will you?

1:39:33
Bob, what's wrong with
having a little faith?

1:39:39
You're always bringing me new words.
1:39:43
Like "love" and "faith".
1:39:45
You're a wonderful man.
You've done some great things.

1:39:49
I have faith that the parole board
will see how good you are.

1:39:53
Golly, you just can't go on thinking that
you're gonna be here the rest of your life.
