Part 6: Monopoly < World Series

We've had a Monopoly game going for the past three days. McMurphy makes different rules of the game, like paying a penny every dollar the bank issues to each person. It was a pretty amusing game, considering there's nothing else to do with our lives in this place.

We had another meeting, where McMurphy brought up the vote of the World Series again. He'd been pissed the first time it got brought up, since everyone was too "chicken shit" (which is what he called it) for not raising their hands to vote. Myself and one other person voted, I don't see why someone should be scared to do so. He offered to do cleaning work at night instead, so we can have TV time when it was on. Nurse Ratched says no, which is what was expected, and says that "the schedule has been set up for a delicately balanced reason that would be thrown into turmoil by the switch of routines". It all sounded like bullshit to me.

A little while later McMurphy is still really pissed that no one voted or helped him out. He doesn't see any reason why people shouldn't have voted, and says that he hasn't missed a World Series in years. I don't blame him for getting mad, I wanted to watch it too. He tries to escape by picking up and tossing the control panel, which is unbelievably heavy. He bet the guys 5 dollars, and Fredrickson was being an ass, asking if he was giving up every time McMurphy stopped to get his strength back. McMurphy tried so hard to pick the thing up, and ended up not getting it, making him more pissed off and walked out of the room.
