:58:01
It's the only way...
:58:03
...they'd let me stay.
:58:05
This is crazy.
You don't want to do this.
:58:07
Put it, put it down.
:58:18
Take it easy.
:58:20
You'll be all right.
:58:23
Him? What about me?
:58:25
Crazy old fool damn near cut my throat!
:58:27
You've had worse from shaving.
:58:30
What did you do to set him off?
:58:32
Nothing.
I come in here to say farewell.
:58:35
Ain't you heard?
His parole's come through.
:58:40
I just don't understand
what happened in there.
:58:43
Old man's crazy as a rat
in a tin shithouse.
:58:46
That's enough out of you.
:58:48
- Heard he had you shitting your pants.
- Fuck you.
:58:51
Knock it off.
:58:53
Brooks ain't no bug.
:58:58
He's just institutionalized.
:59:01
"Institutionalized," my ass.
:59:04
The man's been in here 50 years,
Heywood, 50 years!
:59:08
This is all he knows.
:59:10
In here, he's an important man...
:59:12
...an educated man.
:59:14
Outside, he's nothing.
:59:17
Just a used-up con
with arthritis in both hands.
:59:21
Probably couldn't get a library card
if he tried.
:59:24
You know what I'm trying to say?
:59:26
I do believe
you're talking out of your ass.
:59:30
You believe whatever you want.
:59:33
But I tell you these walls are funny.
:59:37
First you hate them.
:59:40
Then you get used to them.
:59:44
Enough time passes...
:59:47
...you get so you depend on them.
:59:50
That's "institutionalized."
:59:52
Shit.
:59:54
- I could never get like that.
- Oh, yeah?
:59:57
Wait till you've been here
as long as Brooks.
