From "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLWzSGQAnSg Chief Bromden: Mac... they said you escaped. I knew you wouldn't leave without me. I was waiting for you. Now we can make it, Mac; I feel big as a damn mountain. [he suddenly sees the lobotomy scars] Chief Bromden: Oh, no... Chief Bromden: [embracing McMurphy] I'm not goin' without you, Mac. I wouldn't leave you this way... You're coming with me. Chief Bromden: [laying him down] Let's go. The Chief is finally strong enough to leave the institution, thanks to McMurphy's example. But now his mentor has been lobotomized. It takes a moment before the Chief realizes this. He saves his friend by euthanizing him. Powerful stuff.
