Question: What does Kathy Bates say while she is breaking Paul's ankles?


Answers: What does Kathy Bates say while she is breaking Paul's ankles?

ANNIE
Last night it came so clear. I
realize you just need more time.
Eventually, you'll come to accept
the idea of being here. Paul, do you
know about the early days at the
Kimberly Diamond Mine? Do you know
what they did to the native workers
who stole diamonds? Don't worry,
they didn't kill them. That would be
like junking a Mercedes just because
it had a broken spring -- no, if they
caught them they had to make sure
they could go on working, but they
also had to make sure they could
never run away. The operation was
called hobbling.

And with that, she reaches down out of sight and comes up
holding a 16-inch piece of 4 x 4 wood.

PAUL
Annie, whatever you're thinking
about, don't do it.

CUT TO

ANNIE. She wedges the 4 x 4 firmly between his legs, just
above the ankles, secures it and adjusts his feet.

ANNIE
Now don't fuss, Paul.

PAUL
Why would I run away? I'm a writer,
Annie -- it's all I am -- and I've
never written this well -- even you
said that this is my best, didn't
you?

ANNIE picks up a sledgehammer.

PAUL
Didn't you? Why would I leave a
place where I'm doing my best work?
It doesn't make any sense.

CUT TO

ANNIE, positioning herself to the side of his right ankle.

ANNIE
Shh, darling, trust me --
(taking aim at
his ankle)
It's for the best.

She takes the sledgehammer back.

PAUL
Annie, for God's sake, please.

As ANNIE swings, the sledgehammer makes contact with the
ankle. It breaks with a sharp CRACK.

CUT TO

PAUL: CLOSE UP, shrieking.

CUT TO

ANNIE, moving to the other side of the bed.

ANNIE
Almost done, just one more.

And as she breaks the other ankle, PAUL shrieks even louder.

CUT TO

ANNIE: CLOSE UP.

ANNIE
God, I love you...

CUT TO

PAUL'S FACE. He is beyond agony.

i believe she says "it's for the best"

As we say in show biz, now go out there and break a leg.

Just kidding.

She explains to him about "hobbling" and how it was used in the slave days to discourage slaves from running away. She talks about how he should not end the book's main character and how he needs to fix that. She then proceeds to hobble him as he screams.
