One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey Part 1 chapter 11, narrated by Isaac BirchallThe boys head to the breakfast hall and McMurphy is laughing a mile a minute after his small victory over Nuse Ratched.

After finishing his food, McMurphy gets up to head to the day room but is turned away, being told that they can only leave at 7:30. While waiting and watching the clock, he starts to fidget and decides to make a bet with the guys that he can hit the clock across the room with a pat of butter. He hits the wall instead, and instead of giving in he makes a new bet on how long it will take for the butter to hit the floor.In the day room the music is still blaring, and McMurphy finally goes over to the nurse’s station to ask to have it turned off, but the Nurse, with her stone set face just tells him that if she were to turn the music down for him, it would be inconsiderate for the other patients who are harder of hearing.

She refuses again, and McMurphy tries to keep his cool, but “The War” has begun between the two…
