A Clockwork June

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.
