Summary

McMurphy begins to plan a fishing trip for the patients. McMurphy claims to have two aunts coming to escort the patients. They have already rented a boat. McMurphy needs nine others in addition to himself to go. However, he has trouble getting the others to sign up because Miss Ratched keeps posting news stories about the dangerous seas that season. On the night before the trip, McMurphy and Chief wake to the sound of one of the aides scraping gum from under Chief’s bed. After the aide leaves, McMurphy begins talking to Chief and is surprised when Chief answers back. McMurphy convinces Chief to go on the fishing trip with him. The next morning, McMurphy convinces George, another patient, to go along, making it ten. At one time, George was actually a fishing boat captain.

Only one aunt who will accompany the men...
