It's that time again. Format as before, the summary tells you which scene is when, although Blogos suggests that this year has a more complex schedule with different sequences playing out across different times.
Below the summary, please find the portion of the screenplay assigned to June with a date showing (approximately) where the new day begins. Julli Kearns breakdown is a thing of beauty so I'll point you to it as the best companion to the movie.
When we left Alex in May, he was daydreaming in the prison library...
June Summary
01-04th Alex dream sequence
Our hero has been reading the Bible, but perhaps not with the result the Priest hoped for:

The Minister inspects Alex's cell

And Alex succeeds in catching his attention in the yard
25-30th Governors Office

June Day by Day script sync
ALEX (V.O.)
It had been arranged by the prison
charlie, as part of my further education
to read him the Bible. I didn't so much
like the latter part of the book which is
more like all preachy talking, than
fighting and the old in-out. I liked the
parts where these old yahoodies tolchock
each other and then drink their Hebrew
vino and, then getting on to the bed with
their wives' handmaidens. That kept me
going.
BIBLE FANTASY – FIGHTING – DAY
Biblical fighting shot. Alex slashing away. Blood spurting.
HANDMAIDEN FANTASY IN TENT – DAY
Alex lying with three semi-nude handmaidens.
EXT. BIBLICAL STREET
Christ being whipped on by Alex, dressed as a Legionary.
ALEX
Move on there. Move on.
ALEX (V.O.)
I read all about the scourging and the
1st crowning with thorns and all that, and I
could viddy myself helping in and even
taking charge of the tolchocking and the
nailing in, being dressed in the height of
Roman fashion.
BACK TO THE LIBRARY
Alex sits with his eyes closed.
Priest comes over and squeezes his shoulder.
Alex looks up at him and smiles.
PRIEST
(reading from Alex's
Bible)
Seek not to be like evil men, neither
desire to be with them, because their
minds studieth robberies and their lips
speak deceits.
ALEX
If thou lose hope being weary in the days
of distress, thy strength shall be
diminished.
PRIEST
Fine, my boy, fine, fine.
ALEX
Father, I have tried, have I not?
PRIEST
You have, my son.
ALEX
I've done my best, have I not?
PRIEST
Indeed.
ALEX
And, Father, I've never been guilty of any
institutional infractions, have I?
PRIEST
You certainly have not, 655321. You've
been very helpful, and you've shown a
genuine desire to reform.
ALEX
Father – may I ask you a question in
private?
PRIEST
Certainly, my son, certainly. Is there
something troubling you, my son? Don't be
shy to speak up. Remember, I know all the
urges that can trouble young men deprived
of the society of women.
ALEX
No Father. It's nothing like that, Father.
It's about this new thing they're all
talking about. About this new treatment
that you out of prison in no time at all
and makes sure you never get back in
again.
PRIEST
Where did you hear about this? Whose been
talking about these things?
ALEX
These things get around, Father. Two
Warders talk as it might be, and somebody
can't help overhearing what they say. Then
somebody picks up a scrap of newspaper in
the workshops and the newspaper tells all
about it. How about putting me in for this
new treatment, Father?
PRIEST
I take it you are referring to the
Ludovico Technique?
ALEX
I don't know what it's called, Father, all
I know is that it gets you out quickly and
makes sure that you never get in again.
PRIEST
That's not proven, 655321. In fact, it is
only in the experimental stage at this
moment.
ALEX
But it is being used, isn't it, Father?
PRIEST
It has not been used yet in this prison.
The Governor has grave doubts about it and
I have heard that there are very serious
dangers involved.
ALEX
I don't care about the danger, Father. I
just want to be good. I want for the rest
of my life to be one act of goodness.
PRIEST
The question is weather or not this
technique really makes a man good.
Goodness comes from within. Goodness is
chosen. When a man cannot chose, he ceases
to be a man.
ALEX
I don't understand about the whys and
wherefores, Father. I only know I want to
be good.
PRIEST
Be patient, my son, and put your trust in
the Lord.
ALEX
Instruct thy son and he shall refresh thee
and shall give delight to thy soul.
PRIEST
Amen.
They cross themselves.
EXT. PRISON YARD – DAY
Prisoners walking in circles.
INT. PRISON CORRIDOR
Guards stand either side of cell doors.
Chief Guard with Governor, Minister and entourage.
CHIEF GUARD
Mister.
GUARD
All present and correct, sir.
CHIEF GUARD
Right. All present and correct, sir.
GOVERNOR
Very good, Chief.
They inspect cells.
CHIEF GUARD
Leave to carry on, sir, please?
GOVERNOR
Carry on, Chief.
CHIEF GUARD
Sir.
EXT. PRISON YARD
Chief Guard comes out of door.
CHIEF GUARD
Right, pay attention. I want you in two
lines. Up against that wall facing this
way. Go on move! Hurry up about it and
stop talking.
The men line up. Chief Guard moves back to door and comes to
attention.
CHIEF GUARD
Ready for inspection, sir.
He stands back and salutes as Governor, Minister and entourage
enter and walk along line of men.
MINISTER
How many to a cell?
GOVERNOR
Four in this block, sir.
MINISTER
Cram criminals together and what do you
get – concentrated criminality... crime in
the midst of punishment.
GOVERNOR
I agree, sir. What we need are larger
prisons. More money.
MINISTER
Not a chance, my dear fellow. The
Ggovernment can't be concerned any longer
with outmoded penological theories. Soon
we may be needing all of out prison space
for political offenders. Common criminals
like these are best dealt with on a purely
curative basis. Kill the criminal reflex
that's all. Full implementation in a
year's time. Punishment means nothing to
them, you can see that... they enjoy their
so-called punishment.
Alex seizes his chance as they pass by.
ALEX
You're absolutely right, sir.
CHIEF GUARD
Shut your bleedin' hole!!!
MINISTER
Who said that?
ALEX
I did, sir.
MINISTER
What crime did you commit.
ALEX
The accidental killing of a person, sir.
CHIEF GUARD
He brutally murdered a woman, sir, in
furtherence of theft. 14 years... sir!
MINISTER
Excellent. He's enterprising, aggressive,
outgoing. Young. Bold. Viscous. He'll do.
GOVERNOR
Well, fine... we could still look at CBlock.
MINISTER
No, no, no. That's enough. He's perfect. I
want his records sent to me. This vicious
young hoodlum will be transformed out of
all recognition.
ALEX
Thank you very much for this chance, sir.
MINISTER
Let's hope you make the most of it, my
boy.
GOVERNOR
Shall we go to my office?
MINISTER
Thank you.
INT. GOVERNOR'S OFFICE – DAY
Governor seated at his desk. There is a knock on the door.
GOVERNOR
Come in.
Door opens. Chief Guard enters with Alex.
CHIEF GUARD
Sir, 655321, sir.
GOVERNOR
Very good, Chief.
Chief Guard turns to Alex.
CHIEF GUARD
Forward to the white line, toes behind it.
Full name and number to the Governor.
Chief Guard closes door.
ALEX
Alexander de Large, sir. 655321, sir.
The Governor takes off his glasses.
GOVERNOR
I don't suppose you know who that was this
morning, do you? That was no less a
personage than the Minister of the
Interior and what they call a very new
broom. Well, these new ridiculous ideas
have come at last, and orders are orders,
though I may say to you in confidence that
I do not approve. An eye for an eye, I
say, if someone hits you, you hit back, do
you not? Why then should not the State
very severely hit by you brutal offenders
not hit back also? But the new view is to
say no. The new view is that we turn the
bad into good. All of which seems to be
grossly unjust. Hmmmmmm.
ALEX
Sir...
CHIEF GUARD
Shut your filthy hole, you scum!!!
GOVERNOR
You are to be reformed. Tomorrow you go to
this man, Brodsky. You will be leaving
here. You will be transferred to the
Ludovico Medical Facility. It is believed
that you will be able to leave State
custody in a little over a fortnight. I
suppose that prospect pleases you?
CHIEF GUARD
Answer when the Governor asks you a
question you filthy young swine!
ALEX
Oh yes, sir. Thank you very much, sir.
I've done my best here I really have, sir.
I'm very grateful to all concerned.
GOVERNOR
Sign this – where it's marked.
Alex turns the paper to read it.
CHIEF GUARD
Don't read it – sign it!
GOVERNOR
It says that you are willing to have the
residue of your sentence commuted to the
Ludovico treatment.
Alex signs. Governor gathers up papers.
Alex dots the last "i" and smiles.
INT. LUDOVICO CENTRE RECEPTION DESK – DAY
ALEX (V.O.)
The next morning I was taken to the
Ludovico Medical Facility, outside the
town centre, and I felt a malenky bit sad
having to say goodbye to the old Staja, as
you always will when you leave a place
you've like gotten used to.
Chief Guard briskly leads the way for Alex and escort. They move
into reception hall where the Doctor stands.
CHIEF GUARD
(shouting like an RSM)
Right. Halt the prisoner. Good morning,
sir, I'm Chief Officer Barnes. I've got
655321 on a transfer from Parkmoor to the
Ludovico Centre, sir!
DOCTOR
Good morning, we've been expecting you.
I'm Dr. Alcott.
Chief Guard checks the name from his clipboard.
CHIEF GUARD
Yes, Dr. Alcott. Are you prepared to
accept the prisoner, sir?
DOCTOR
Yes, of course.
CHIEF GUARD
Well, I wonder if you'd mind signing these
transfer documents, sir.
Doctor signs.
CHIEF GUARD
Thank you, sir. There, sir... there, and
there, sir... and there. Thank you, sir.
Prison escort move forward. Halt. Excuse
me, sir. Is that the officer that is to
take charge of the prisoner, sir?
Doctor nods. Officer steps forward.
CHIEF GUARD
If I might offer a word of advice, Doc.
You'll have to watch this one. A right
brutal bastard he has been, and will be
again. In spite all his sucking up to the
prison Chaplain and reading the Bible.
DOCTOR
Oh, I think we can manage things. Charlie,
will you show the young man to his room
now.
CHARLIE
Right, sir. Come this way, please.
