The duty desk

--where Brutal, Harry, and Dean have been watching the entire

exchange with their hearts in their throats...

DISSOLVE:

...and we find Billy staring glassy-eyed at the ceiling. He

keels over on his bunk. ANGLE to Paul and Brutal stepping to

the bars with Harry and Dean.

PAUL

Anybody wants to back out, now's

the time. After this, there's no

turning back.

(off their looks)

So? We gonna do this?

A voice comes softly from down the way:

COFFEY

Sure. I'd like to take a ride.

Their heads come slowly around, staring at Coffey in shock.

BRUTAL

(to Paul)

Guess were all in.

INT. PAUL'S OFFICE - NIGHT

Percy looks up from his book as the door opens. Paul enters

with Brutal and Harry, ominously hemming the desk.

PERCY

What is this?

Paul pulls the canvas straitjacket from behind his back.

PAUL

Payback.

Percy jumps up and tries to the execution chamber, but Harry

grabs him, spins him back. A wild scuffle ensues as:

PERCY

Let go of me! Let go!

PAUL

Settle down, Percy!

Percy tries to jerk away, crashes into the desk. The book he

was reading falls to the floor--

--and a " Tijuana Bible" is revealed within the pages. It's a

pornographic cartoon book of the type popular in the '30's,

featuring crude drawings of famous cartoon characters or

movie stars engaged in outlandish sexual acts. This one has

Olive Oyl getting it doggy-style from Popeye. The word

balloon over his head features his famous laugh: " Uk-uk-uk-

uk! "

BRUTAL

Oooo, Poicy! What would your

mother say?

PERCY

Let go, you ignoramus! I know

people! Big people!

PAUL

So you've said. C'mon, stick out

your arms like a good boy.

PERCY

I won't. And you can't make me.

BRUTAL

You're dead wrong about that, you

know.

Brutal grabs Percy by the ears, twisting hard. Percy lets out

a shriek--not just of pain, but a dismayed understanding that

he's not going to bluster his way out of this one.

BRUTAL

You gonna put your arms up? I'll

rip your ears off. Use 'em for tea

caddies. You know I will.

PAUL

The man's ripping your ears off,

Percy. I'd do as he says.

Percy jerks his arms up before him. They get the straitjacket

on him within seconds. Percy turns to Paul on the verge of

tears. Softly:

PERCY

Please, Paul. Don't put me in with

Wild Bill. Please.

PAUL

You would think that.

Paul gives him a hard, angry shove...

INT. E BLOCK - NIGHT

...and they bring him down the Mile to the restraint room

door. Brutal takes Percy's holster and baton.

BRUTAL

You'll get 'em back, don't worry.

PERCY

That's more than I can say about

your jobs. All your jobs! You

can't do this to me! You can't!

Paul steps forward with a roll of strapping tape.

PAUL

Let you in on a little secret. We

can and we are.

He slaps the tape over Percy's mouth and shoves him back into

the restraint room. Percy stands breathing heavily through

his nose, making muffled mmmmph-mmmph! sounds under the tape.

PAUL

You're going to have a few hours

of quiet time now, so you can

reflect on what you did to Del.

BRUTAL

(grins)

If you get lonely, think about

Olive Oyl...

(thrusting his hips)

...uk-uk-uk-uk!

And they slam the door, shutting Percy into darkness.
