Animal Factory Page #3

Earl Copen said

I should see you.

You're a friend of Earl's, huh?

What do you need, son?

Earl said I should ask you

for a 30 day lay-in.

Right now they got me

in the furniture factory.

F***, yeah.

I can see why

you might like a lay-in.

Here. Just let it dangle

below the picture.

On the X ray it looks like you

pulled your shoulder loose.

Now, hold still.

Whoa! You...

Man, this is embarrassing.

Quit sniveling.

On weekends you got like three

million Puerto Ricans...

fightin' to get on this court.

They are handball-playin'

motherfuckers.

Thought I was supposed to have

a shoulder separation.

That starts this afternoon.

Set?

How is it an inmate

can do all this?

I've done a total of 18

calendar years in this place.

Aah. God.

I learned how

to get things done.

By the way,

"inmate's" an insult.

Convict's the term

solid dudes prefer.

I'm serious.

Girlfriend?

Sorry?

She been up to see you yet?

Oh, no, not yet. I haven't

been here that long.

Are you Earl's friend?

Sorry?

You're a sorry sucker,

aren't you?

I'm Earl's boss. Are you Decker?

Yes, sir.

"Yes, sir."

I like that.

How's your shoulder?

You aren't gonna get

Earl in trouble, are you?

He wants me to move you

to his cell block.

What if I don't want to be moved?

Take that up with Earl.

He tells me you're not his kid.

And I don't give a sh*t

if you're his kid or not.

I just don't want to see

Earl blow a chance at parole...

over some beef

that involves you.

Ivan, what are the odds in Decker's

girlfriend getting up to see him?

The b*tch probably ain't worth

the f***ing ink, brother.

Well, look who's back

from vacation.

Hey, Jan.

How's that shoulder?

Well, did you miss me?

Jan, do you mind?

No, I don't mind at all.

Would you like Mama to hold that

teeny-weenie thing for you?

F*** it!

I can't even go now.

I'm sorry, child. I didn't

mean to get you so excited.

You wish.

Listen, you snobby thing. Anytime

you're ready, you just let me know.

Hmm?

May as well turn around, Jesse.

The blacks have this whole area

blocked off. What's goin' on?

It's a strike or some sh*t.

Heard talk of it yesterday.

Is nobody going to work?

What we ought to do is burn

this shithouse the f*** down.

I'll be down for a strike with the

spooks as long as I get my licks in.

Let's go check it out.

Whatcha gonna do, huh?

Whatcha gonna do?

Come on.

Don't be scared.

Come on over.

We gotta stand together.

We all together!

We gotta stand together

or we'll fall for anything.

We can make some

serious changes.

We gotta come together as one.

We gotta strike, not go to work.

Hit them in the pocketbook.

Hey, man.

You know that kid?

Yeah, I came in with him.

Looks like he's got a daddy.

What should we do now?

I'd go over there

if they weren't mostly black.

Some of my friends would cut me loose

if I did. You know what I mean?

- More education!

- Yeah!

More classrooms! Bigger,

better library! Yeah!

We don't have to take these

f***ed-up conditions anymore!

We don't have to walk around...

in the workplace where the

buildings are gonna fall down!

What is he doing? I think

he's trying to get in.

I come back out. You're gonna

go in and come right back out?

I not gonna work. I gonna come back.

Let him through.

He's gonna get his work slip signed.

He's coming right back out.

Nobody crosses this line.

What the f*** you doing?

Hey!

What you doin'?

Oh, my God! They're f***ing killing him.

This is getting f***ed.

All inmates form a line

inside the gate.

Where you going? Word is some dude got

stomped to death in the work yard.

He crossed the line. He was trying to

get his slip signed by the supervisor.

He was gonna be released tomorrow.

He should've f***ing waited!

Now he's going out in a box. F*** them

n*ggers! That shouldn't have happened.

They want f***ing trouble, they're

gonna get it. F*** the strike!

That's exactly what the bulls want,

to turn this into a race riot...

so one, two, three

they can start shootin'.

You have one minute

to form a line inside the gate.

Listen, hang out here.

There's something going down.

There's no guards

on the grounds.

That dude probably

owed him money.

You have 30 seconds

to form a line inside the gate.

Open the f***ing door

and let us in!

This is your last warning.

Form a line inside the gate.

You have 30 seconds to form

inside the gate. Let's go!

Let's go.

Keep moving.

All inmates inside the yard

up against the wall.

Lockdown! Let's go!

Goin' down! Everybody, this is gonna

be a lockdown. In your own cells.

Lockdown!

Everybody in.

Let's go!

Lockdown!

Goin' down both sides.

There's a lock-in head count.

Everybody, go on in.

In your own cells.

Hey, bum,

you ready to go to work?

How many are coming out?

Captain's clerk, kitchen workers.

I can pull you out if you want.

You know the convicts

run the prison.

I'd rather wait.

Ruin my image to be among the first

unlocked... after what happened.

Oh, my life has not

been a picnic, let me tell you.

Ever since I was young,

it's been hell.

None of my dreams

ever came true.

When God put me together, He made it

f***ed up. He made a bad mistake.

I don't need this big ol' cock.

I'd just as soon cut it off.

The next lifetime, I'm just gonna be the girl

next door. I'm gonna tell you something.

If I had wings,

I would be a butterfly and just

fly out the motherfucking window.

I would fly across the ocean.

You know where I'd go?

Where I've always wanted to go.

I always wanted to go

to Paris, France.

Ain't no motherf***er in here been to

Paris, France. I read books about it.

I would love it. It's so pretty there.

Decker!

Get dressed.

The "Lieut" wants you.

I would land on a beautiful cherry

blossom tree on the Champs-Elyses.

I would sit up on

the cherry blossom tree...

and I'd watch all the pretty French

boys walk by, and I would say,

"Hey, you. You go get

Mama a caffe latte...

and jelly doughnut,

s'il vous plait."

And they would wait on me, and be polite

to me and take me to pretty places.

Lieutenant?

Won't see a steak like that in prison,

except maybe in a magazine ad.

Had to feed the emergency crew so the watch

commander got authorization to open the boxes.

When a box is opened,

everybody eats.

Go ahead.

It's gonna get cold.

You're welcome.

Thanks.

I'm gonna try and get

you a job as a barber.

Half of knowing how to do time

is gettin' the right job.

I don't know how to cut hair.

You better figure it out

because some of these maniacs...

get very pissed

if they get a bad haircut.

What's the other half?

Where you live.

My boss tells me

you're not sure about moving.

You know what, man?

I feel...

I feel really, like, paranoid.

I feel like I have to hold one hand over

my dick and the other over my a**hole.

This thing in people's eyes.

I mean, if you're friendly,

it's in everybody's eyes.

Look, I'm not scheming you.

Not one bit.

Of course, if I'm to be
