Let me recollect.
1:51:04
I knocked off four at Atlanta.
1:51:07
I did three at Juliet.
1:51:11
And then I did that ten-spot
with you at Leavenworth.

1:51:14
And then I was on the street for four.
1:51:17
And then I been here for six.
1:51:19
- How much is that?
- 23.

1:51:22
Yeah.
1:51:24
- Why do you wanna know, Bob?
- Nothin'. I just wondered.

1:51:28
- What's all the gabbin', Gomez?
- Nothin', sir.

1:51:31
The prisoner just wanted
some more meat.

1:51:36
No chance, Stroud. No extra portions.
1:51:39
Everybody gets treated the same here,
you understand?

1:52:00
- Bob.
- I'm gonna wallop you today.

1:52:09
Congratulations on
the publication of your book.

1:52:11
Yeah, it's a honey. It should sell big.
1:52:14
But that's all behind me now.
I've started writin' a new book.

1:52:18
The history of federal prisons from 1790
up to the formation of the bureau.

1:52:22
A story about caged men
rather than birds.

1:52:25
What prison does to 'em.
1:52:28
Got the idea from seein' an old friend.
1:52:32
- It's an ambitious undertaking, Bob.
- It'll knock the public cold.

1:52:36
Graft, corruption,
1:52:39
stupidity, sadism.
1:52:43
All the elements
of a best seller, eh, Father?

1:52:45
- It's a story that needs telling.
- And how!

1:52:49
You realise, of course,
it involves a certain element of risk.

1:52:55
I do indeed.
1:52:57
But you know somethin'?
