* About 100 pages from the end of the book, near the end of another meeting with the Big Nurse and the other patients, [=McMurphy=] strolls up to where the Nurse is sitting, next to the glass window the patients' restricted cigarette cartons are behind. [=McMurphy=] puts his hand right through the glass to take one. "I'm sure ''sorry'', ma'am," he said. "Gawd but I am. That window glass was so spick and span I com-''pletely'' forgot it was there."
