  Merle Dixon : [Merle sits alone cuffed to the rooftop as he begins talking to himself deliriously]  That's right. You heard me, bitch. You got a problem? Bring it on if you're man enough, Or take it up the chain if you're a pussy. You heard me, you pussy-ass noncom bitch. You ain't deaf. Take it up the damn chain of command or you can kiss my lily-white ass.

  Merle Dixon : [Merle laughs]  That's right. That's what I said. You heard me. And then this idiot, he takes a swing, You know, and well...

  Merle Dixon : [Merle laughs hysterically]  Oh, you should've seen the look on his face when I punched out his front teeth. Yeah, five of 'em. Pow! Pow! Just like that. Huh. Oh, my God. Sixteen months in the stockade... Oh, that's what them teeth cost me. Ah, that was... that was hard time, but by God, it was worth every minute of it. Just to see that prick spit his teeth out on the ground.

  Merle Dixon : [Merle chuckles]  Yes sir, worth every minute.

  Merle Dixon : [as Merle suddenly realizes he's cuffed to the rooftop still]  Oh, no. No, no! No, no! No, no! God! God! No, no! God! Jesus! No, no, merciful Christ! No, no. No, no. God, help me! God! God! Jesus, please! Jesus, please. Help me! Come on now! Help me...

  [when the Walkers pound at the door to the roof] 

• [Merle starts to pray while cuffed to the rooftop] 

  Merle Dixon : [Merle cries]  No, Jesus. Jesus. No-no-no-no-no-no. Please. I didn't behave, I know. I know I'm being punished. I know. I... Oh, I deserve it. I deserve it. I've been bad. Help me now. Show me the way. Go on, tell me what to do. Tell me. Tell me.

  Merle Dixon : [Merle starts banging his head at the concrete]  God!

  Merle Dixon : [when Merle starts to use his belt to reach for the hacksaw next to him]  That's okay. Never you mind, silly Christ boy. I ain't begged you before. I ain't gonna start begging now.

  Merle Dixon : [Merle shouts out]  I ain't gonna beg you now! Don't you worry about me begging you ever! I'll never beg you! I ain't gonna beg you! I never begged you before. Oh, shit. No!
