[recording a message for her brother] Yo there! Daniel Patrick McMurphy. Well, it had to happen. Even my brother, mother McMurphy's baby boy, finally had to grow up. Although I'm sure she was hoping for a parish priest instead of a hippie degenerate freak. In commemoration of your 21st birthday I am sending you an example of Vietnam's finest cultural attractions. I trust that you and your commune's aesthetic consciences will be properly raised. Love, peace and the American way, Colleen.

Welcome to the G.I.U. man. You'll get used to it.

That's what my momma said about the army.
That's what MY momma said about the army.

That's what my momma said about everything I'd ever do for the last 19 years.
I can't leave! What am I talking about?
Don't be ridiculous. Regulation, new regulation: Section 24, paragraph 3 – Laurette gets her chance, Laurette says goodbye.
I wanna go… I just don't wanna leave.
What?
A Little mix up, paper work problem, irregulations.
We lost one.
What?
A body. We lost a body.
Did you look under the bed?
On my shift?
I never got it.
And if he left the hospital where did he go? Surfing?
You notice I'm not laughing.
I did not lose that body.
Who did?
Well, you sent it to the check out counter.
Oh no, you're not gonna pin this one on me. You're the doctor, you signed the death certificate.
Doctors are forgiven minor mistakes. Amputating the wrong legs, putting an appendix in instead of taking one out, diagnosing gun shot wound as the measles… we leave that sort of thing for records. But, losing a body that's something different… Bad for the resume, bad for the house payments.
I'm a Catholic, I'm not supposed to be happy.
I really feel for them
We all do; that's why we're here.
Yeah, I never thought there'd be too many men for me.
It's just simple economics ladies – supply and demand. When men are scarce, their value goes up. When they're plentiful like they are here, the market gets flooded.
There's no place for us to hide.
You know I hate myself for it but you know I've even thought - if one more guy comes up to me I'll just scream.
Ladies…
[The four scream]
