One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Scene 12

Scene 12

• McMurphy is out in the exercise yard setting up a basketball game between the patients and the orderlies.
• The patients quickly get clobbered because McMurphy can't communicate with any of them.
• But the tide of the game changes completely once Chief understands what's happening. He's so tall that none of the orderlies can guard him.
• So McMurphy just keeps passing him the ball and he scores easily. All of the patients cheer wildly.
