58EXT -- PRISON YARD/LOADING DOCK -- DAY (1949)

Bogs, wheelchair-bound and wearing a neck brace, is loaded onto an ambulance for transport. Behind the fence stand Red and his friends, watching.

RED (V.O.)

...and Bogs never walked again.

They transferred him to a minimum

security hospital upstate. To my

knowledge, he lived out the rest of

his days drinking his food through

a straw.

RED (CONT'D)

I'm thinkin' Andy could use a nice

welcome back when he gets out of

the infirmary.

HEYWOOD

Sounds good to us. Figure we owe

him for the beer.

RED

Man likes to play chess. Let's get

him some rocks.
