Where’s the canary?

How did you know?

How did I know what?

So, you don’t know? Come.

This is where the canary is, Johnny.

Quite a surprise to hear a woman singing in my house, eh, Johnny?

That’s quite a.

surprise.

Red.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Here she comes.

This is the part I like when she does that shit with her hair.

Yeah, I know. I’ve seen it three times this month.

Gilda, are you decent?

Me?

Hah! God, I love it!

I understand you’re a man that knows how to get things.

Yeah, I’m known to locate certain things from time to time. What do you want?

Rita Hayworth. What?

Can you get her?

Take a few weeks.

Weeks?

front of my pants right now, I’m sorry to say.

But I’ll get her. Relax.

Thanks.

It was a surprise, Mr. Farrell. It was.

Take a walk. I gotta change the reel.

I said ** off!

Ain’t you gonna scream?

Let’s get this over with.

He broke my **in’ nose!

Now.I’m gonna open my fly.

and you’re gonna swallow what I give you to swallow.

Then you’re gonna swallow Rooster’s.

You broke his nose, he ought to have something to show for it.

Anything you put in my mouth, you’re gonna lose.

No. You don’t understand.

You do that, and I’ll put all eight inches of this steel in your ear.

All right.

But you should know that sudden, serious brain injury causes the victim to bite down hard.

In fact, I hear the bite reflex is so strong,

they have to pry the victim’s jaws open. with a crowbar.

Where did you get this shit?

I read it.

Know how to read, you ignorant **?

Honey.

..you shouldn’t.

Bogs didn’t put anything in Andy’s mouth.

and neither did his friends.

What they did do. is beat him within an inch of his life.

Andy spent a month in the infirmary.

Bogs spent a week in the hole.

Time’s up, Bogs.

It’s your world, boss.

Return to your cell blocks for evening count.

All prisoners report for lockdown.

What?

Where’s he going? Grab his ankles.

No! No!

No!

Help me.

Two things never happened again after that.

The Sisters never laid a finger on Andy again.

..and Bogs never walked again.

They transferred him to a minimum-security hospital upstate.

To my knowledge, he lived out the rest of his days drinking his food through a straw.

I’m thinking Andy could use a nice welcome back when he gets out of the infirmary.

Sounds good to us. I figure we owe him that much for the beer.

The man likes to play chess.

Let’s get him some rocks.

Guys.

I got one. I got one. Look.

Heywood, that isn’t soapstone.

And it ain’t alabaster, either.

What are you, a **ing geologist?

He’s right. It ain’t.

Well, what the hell is it?

A horse apple.

Bullshit. No, horse shit. Petrified.

Oh, Jesus Christ!

Oh, damn!

Despite a few hitches, the boys came through in fine style.

And by the weekend he was due back, we had enough rocks

to keep him busy till rapture.

I also got a big shipment in that week.

Cigarettes. Chewing gum.

Sipping whisky.

Playing cards with naked ladies on them. You name it.

And of course, the most important item.

Rita Hayworth herself.

OK, look alive! Open all tiers.

Heads up. They’re tossing the cells.

Heads up. They’re tossing the cells.

119.

123.

On your feet.

Face the wall.
