Alcatraz: The Whole Shocking Story (1980 TV Movie)

Michael Beck: Clarence Carnes

Quotes 

• Clarence Carnes : [Runs past Stroud's cell and sees him standing passively, when the doors to D-Block's cells are opened during the 1946 escape attempt. He runs back]  Come on! You're free!

  Robert Stroud : [calmly]  I'm not going anywhere.

  Clarence Carnes : Come on man, let's go!

  Robert Stroud : Guys like them boys do things the hard way, don't they?

  [sits down on his bunk and picks up the book he'd been reading before the commotion began] 

  Robert Stroud : They'll be dead before sundown; and a lot of other poor, ignorant fools with them. Maybe you too, son.

  Clarence Carnes : But... You're in this cell for life.

  Robert Stroud : You're an Indian, aren't you? I know how you feel about being free. But let me tell you something: there's one worse than doing life, and that's no life at all. Think about that.

  Clarence Carnes : [Looks at Stroud who's resumed reading and then runs back along the D-Block walkway]  Come on! Everybody out!
