1/ He ain’t in the box because of the joke played on him…. He back-sassed a free man. They got their rules. We ain’t got nothin’ to do with that. Would probably have happened to him sooner or later anyway – a complainer like him. He gotta learn the rules the same as anybody else.
2/ Yeah, them poor old Bosses need all the help they can get.
1/ You tryin’ to say somethin’? You got a flappin’ mouth…..
3/ Last bell!!!!!
1/ One of these days, I’m gonna have to flap me up some dust with it.

3/ What do we do now?
2/ Nothin’…..
1/ hahaha!!! Oh Luke, you wild, beautiful thing. You crazy handful of nothin’!!!!……
1/ You’re gonna get used to wearin’ them chains after a while, Luke, but you’ll never stop listenin’ to them clinkin’. ‘Cause they’re gonna remind you of what I’ve been sayin’ – for your own good.
2/ I wish you’d stop bein’ so good to me, Capt’n.
1/ Don’t you ever….EVER!!!! talk that way to me….. What we’ve got here is failure to communicate….. Some men you just can’t reach…. So you get what we had here last week – which is the way he wants it. Well, he gets it. I don’t like it any more than you men.
1/_Anybody here?…. Hey, Ol’ Man, You home tonight?… Can you spare a minute cause it’s about time we had a little talk. I know I’m a pretty evil fella. Killed people in the war and got drunk and chewed up municipal property and the like. I know I got no call to ask for much but even so, you gotta admit, you ain’t dealt me no cards in a long time. It’s beginning to look like you got things fixed so I can’t never win out. Inside, outside, all them rules and regulations and bosses. You made me like I am. Just where am I supposed to fit in?…. Ol’ Man, I gotta tell ya. I started out pretty strong and fast. But it’s beginnin’ to get to me. When does it end? What do ya got in mind for me? What do I do now?…… All right. All right…… On my knees, asking…. ( big pause) Yeah, that’s what I thought. I guess I’m pretty tough to deal with, huh? A hard case. I guess I gotta find my own way.
2/_Luke?
1/_That’s your answer ol’ Man?…. I guess you’re a hard case too
1/_Don’t hit me anymore…Oh God, I pray to God you don’t hit me anymore…. I’ll do anything you say, but I can’t take anymore!!!
2/_You got your mind right, Luke?
1/_Yeah…. I got it right…. I got it right, boss.
2/_Suppose you’s to back-slide on us?
1/_Oh no, I won’t… I won’t, boss.
2/_Suppose you’s to back-sass?
1/_No I won’t… I won’t… I got my mind right!
2/_You try to run again, we gonna kill ya.
1/_I won’t, I won’t, boss!
2/_Get inside now and get yourself cleaned up
1/_She don’t know what she’s doing
2/_Oh boy, she knows exactly what she’s doin’…. She’s drivin’ us crazy and lovin’ every minute of it.
1/_Shut your mouth about my Lucille!!!
1/_This here is Boss Keene’s ditch… it’s got your dirt in it, what’s your dirt doin’ in Boss Keene’s ditch?

Dragline: He was smiling…That’s right. You know, that, that Luke smile of his. He had it on his face right to the very end. Hell, if they didn’t know it ‘fore, they could tell right then that they weren’t a-gonna beat him. That old Luke smile. Oh, Luke. He was some boy. Cool Hand Luke. Hell, he’s a natural-born world-shaker.

In a small Country Church after escaping from prison for the third time.
Anybody here? Hey, Ol’ Man, You home tonight? Can you spare a minute? It’s about time we had a little talk. I know I’m a pretty evil fella. Killed people in the war and got drunk and chewed up municipal property and the like. I know I got no call to ask for much but even so, you gotta admit, you ain’t dealt me no cards in a long time. It’s beginnin’ to look like you got things fixed so I can’t never win out. Inside, outside, all ’em rules and regulations and bosses. You made me like I am. Just where am I supposed to fit in? Ol’ Man, I gotta tell ya. I started out pretty strong and fast. But it’s beginnin’ to get to me. When does it end? What do ya got in mind for me? What do I do now? All right. All right. (He kneels on his knees and cups his hands in prayer.) On my knees, askin’. (pause) Yeah, that’s what I thought. I guess I’m pretty tough to deal with, huh? A hard case. I guess I gotta find my own way.
A few police cars drive up in front of the church. Dragline calls out to his friend from the church door: Luke? Luke looks up and addresses an aside to God: That’s your answer ol’ Man? I guess you’re a hard case too.
It was just something to do.
