Clarence Carnes:
[Runs past Stroud's cell and sees him standing passively, when the doors to D-Block's cells are opened during the 1946 escape attempt. He runs back] Come on! You're free!

Robert Stroud:
[calmly] I'm not going anywhere.

Clarence Carnes:
Come on man, let's go!

Robert Stroud:
Guys like them boys do things the hard way, don't they? [sits down on his bunk and picks up the book he'd been reading before the commotion began] They'll be dead before sundown; and a lot of other poor, ignorant fools with them. Maybe you too, son.

Clarence Carnes:
But... You're in this cell for life.

Robert Stroud:
You're an Indian, aren't you? I know how you feel about being free. But let me tell you something: there's one worse than doing life, and that's no life at all. Think about that.

Clarence Carnes:
[Looks at Stroud who's resumed reading and then runs back along the D-Block walkway] Come on! Everybody out!
