Prologue:
Chief Bromden, the recently escaped patient from the ward, has decided to travel to New York in order to go shopping in Times Square for new platforms so that he may aggrandize his physical dimensions.
Scene:
Chief: *Walks around aimlessly in Times Square* I wonder where to find platforms to make me bigger. I must grow bigger. *walks into Forever 1960’s towards Mona the employee*
Mona: Hi, how can I help you, sir? I’m Mona
Chief: I need some big shoes so I can get bigger. I’ve always wanted to be bigger.
Mona: Why do you want to get bigger sir?
Chief: Comin out of the ward, I feel bigger than ever.
Mona: You are pretty big if I may say so myself.
Chief: I always felt like I could never succeed in Nurse Ratched’s matriarchal social structure. Also, since I am Native American, I have always felt oppressed in society.
Mona: Oh, I see. What specifically made you feel oppressed?
Chief: Nurse Ratched always tried to control us, abuse us, and make us feel unworthy. It was sickening.
Mona: Well you are now in a new accepting society. As long as you can switch into normality you will be able to succeed.
Chief: But it’s so tough. I lived there for years, so how can I just let it go?
Mona: Come on, it’s a fresh start! It’s not so hard to assimilate; I know you can do it.
Chief: I liked my old ways though, but the black boys were always trying to get me and I didn’t like that.
Mona: I never felt like it was hard for me to become American, so I don’t see why you can’t join our live.
Chief: I don’t think you understand. You’re just a young lady. I’m an old man who’s had his old life drilled into his head
Mona: How old could you really be?
Chief: Older than you think.
Mona: I guess it makes sense. Just keep working at it, I know you’ll be able to adjust to real life.
Chief: Thank you for conversing with me. I shall put forth my best efforts in order to accommodate myself to this atrocity you plebeians call “real life”.
Mona: Thanks to you too, I was never consciously aware of the fact that it is gruesome for some individuals to accustom themselves to our lives. It must be a component of the human psyche.
