This scene

22INT -- FAT-ASS' CELL -- NIGHT (1947)

Fat-Ass is crying, trying not to hyperventilate.

HEYWOOD (O.S.)

This ain't such a bad place. I'll

introduce you around, make you feel

right at home. I know some big ol'

bull queers who'd love to make your

acquaintance...especially that big

white mushy butt of yours... And

that's it.

Fat-Ass lets out a LOUD WAIL of despair:

FAT-ASS

OH GOD! I DON'T BELONG HERE! I

WANNA GO HOME!
