Quotes4

  • Dr. Spivey: Well, the real reason that you've been sent over here is because they wanted you to be evaluated... to determine whether or not you are mentally ill. This is the real reason. Why do you think they might think that?
  • McMurphy: Well, as near as I can figure out, it's 'cause I, uh, fight and fuck too much.
  • Psychiatrist: Is there anybody that you have on your staff, that could relate to him? Maybe understand him? Help him out with some of these problems?
  • Dr. Spivey: The funny thing is that the person that he's the closest to is the one he dislikes the most.
  • Psychiatrist: Well, sure.
  • Dr. Spivey: [to Nurse Ratched] That's you, Mildred.
  • Nurse Ratched: Well, gentlemen, in my opinion, if we send him back to Pendleton or we send him up to Disturbed, it's just one more way of passing on our problem to somebody else. You know, we don't like to do that. So I'd like to keep him on the ward. I think we can help him.
  • Dr. Spivey: How do you like it here?
  • McMurphy: That fucking nurse, man.
  • Dr. Spivey: What do you mean, sir?
  • McMurphy: She ain't honest.
  • Dr. Spivey: Miss Ratched's one of the finest nurses we've got in this institution.
  • McMurphy: Well, I don't want to break up the meeting or nothing... but she's something of a cunt, ain't she, Doc?
  • Dr. Spivey: How do you mean that?
  • McMurphy: She likes a rigged game, you know what I mean?
  • Dr. Spivey: They think... they think you've been faking it to get out of your work detail.
  • McMurphy: Do I look like that kind of guy to you doc?
