When you've lived in these manure piles
for over 30 years, as I have,

1:53:04
you come to know everything's a risk.
1:53:07
Your serve.
1:53:12
- I wish you luck.
- It's worth the gamble.

1:53:57
I'm confiscating this manuscript, Bob.
1:54:01
Have you read it?
1:54:03
Enough to realise that it's a blast
at the entire penal system.

1:54:07
You're in serious trouble.
1:54:10
The bureau has known for months
what you were writing.

1:54:14
You haven't told me what you think of it.
1:54:23
I resent this personally.
1:54:26
I stand high in my profession,
1:54:29
and I believe I've earned that esteem.
1:54:32
I am proud of the advances
that I have helped to inaugurate.

1:54:35
Think back to the old times.
Leg irons, carrying the iron ball,

1:54:38
stripes, corporal punishment,
indefinite periods in the hole.

1:54:43
I have been instrumental
in abolishing that kind of treatment.

1:54:46
Yes, that's true, Harvey.
1:54:48
Furthermore, you completely ignore my
fight for a constructive work programme.

1:54:54
Like making belt buckles,
or running a drill press?
