Six Against the Rock

Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy:
[delivering books to Stroud's cell in D-Block] How's the old Birdman?

Robert Stroud:
Breaking even. The way I figure it, it's better than breaking out.

Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy:
Thought you might've changed your mind.

Robert Stroud:
It ain't gonna work, Bernie.

Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy:
It'll work. It's *got* to.

Robert Stroud:
"Got to" won't get you outta here.

Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy:
It's all planned out.

Robert Stroud:
Yeah. Sure it is. Now, if you could only walk on water.

Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy:
We're taking over the boat.

Robert Stroud:
I wish you luck.

Officer Bill Miller:
[dayshift guards are arriving for work] Hey-hey! Cece! How was the vacation?

Officer Corwin:
Great. Took in Yosemite. [they start walking up the hill to the main cellhouse] I think this hill got steeper while I was gone.

Officer Bill Miller:
Have you ever thought about living on the island?

Officer Corwin:
No. Cathy won't consider it. It's too close to the cons, she says.

Joseph 'Dutch' Cretzer:
[in the breakfast line, the morning of the break] You with us?

Dan Durando:
I got 'till noon.

Marvin Hubbard:
[as Coy is getting ready to infiltrate the gun gallery] We got enough time, Bernie?

Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy:
If Crazy Sam can keep it up long enough, I'll make it.

Dan Durando:
[responding to Coy's promise of no blood being spilled during the break] But the trouble is, you got Cretzer and Crazy Sam.

Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy:
Dutch knows the ropes. He's made a couple of breaks before. And he ain't leaving without Sam.

Dan Durando:
Well, what about Thompson? I never know what he's thinking or what he's gonna do.

Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy:
Who does? But he wants out bad, just like us. He ain't gonna give us any trouble.

Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy:
Is the car all set?

Joseph 'Dutch' Cretzer:
It's waiting for us right *now* in 'Frisco. There are clothes there. There's a hideout. It's the way I operate: connections. That's the trouble with you and Hubbard! Depression bums! You never made connections! How much time have we got?

Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy:
The prison boat docks here at two. We've got forty minutes to make it.

Joseph 'Dutch' Cretzer:
Well we'd *better* make it. You know what I'm saying to you, Bernie? We'd just *better* make it.

Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy:
[comes out of a cell, back to the desk by the messhall entrance, carrying the bag with his bar spreader] I've got it.

Joseph 'Dutch' Cretzer:
This had better work!

Marvin Hubbard:
It'll work.

Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy:
[to Durando] Keep an on Miller, kid. [Durando runs off to the cell where Miller is being held]

Miran 'Buddy' Thompson:
Hey! What's the chances they'll have some hacks in that other gun gallery down there? [indicates East Gun Gallery]

Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy:
Not 'till after four o'clock. You and Cretzer go on down and keep an eye on the sallyport door for any screws coming through.

Joseph 'Dutch' Cretzer:
I'll take care of any screws! You just get Burch!

Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy:
It's moving up towards noon, kid.

Dan Durando:
Bernie, I... I think I'm gonna pass on this. I'm only nineteen. I can get out someday.

Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy:
Don't kid yourself. You're gonna end up just like The Birdman. We need you kid. We need you.

Dan Durando:
I just don't want any more blood; any more killing. Bernie, that guy I shot... I swear to God it was an accident, but he's dead just the same.

Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy:
You got my promise. We go out clean.

Dan Durando:
Don't worry, Mister Lageson. It's gonna be ok.

Officer Lageson:
[shaking his head sadly] I never would've expected *you* to be in a fool thing like *this*, kid.

Sam Shockley:
It was Corwin! He got me wet!

Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy:
Stroud! We got it! We're going! Straight through the yard, down to the boat!

Robert Stroud:
Now, how the hell do you do that?

Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy:
Hostages. Four guards. You can still come, you know. What do you say?

Robert Stroud:
I was dumb enough to get into this joint, Bernie. I ain't crazy enough to try and break out.

Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy:
Well, we're going.

Robert Stroud:
Where, Bernie? That's the problem. Where? Do you think it's worth it?

Bernard 'Bernie' Paul Coy:
I tell you the God's truth. If I have to wake up *one* more morning in a cement cage, nine by six, not even knowing if it's daylight outside... You'd better believe it's worth it.

Robert Stroud:
It's like I told you Bernie... Good luck.

Associate Warden:
Warden. We've got three officers down in the towers! Wounded!

Warden James Johnston:
Kick on the sirens!

Associate Warden:
We just got a report, sir! They've spotted Dutch Cretzer with a gun!

Warden James Johnston:
Cretzer? My god, he'd kill his own mother to get out of here!

Associate Warden:
They must've sprung him out of lock-up. God knows how many others.

Warden James Johnston:
How many guards do we have on the cellhouse floor? Right now?

Associate Warden:
Nine, plus Burch in the Gun Gallery. We haven't heard from *any* of them.
