From One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey

"The first hand that comes up, I can tell, is McMurphy's, because of the bandage where that control panel cut into him when he tried to lift it.  And then off down the slope I see them, other hands coming up out of the fog.  It's like...that big red hand of McMurphy's is reaching into the fog and dropping down and dragging the men up by their hands, dragging them blinking into the open.  First one, then another, then the next.  Right on down the line of Acutes, dragging them out of the fog till there they stand, all twenty of them, raising not just for watching TV, but against the Big Nurse, against her trying to send McMurphy to Disturbed, against the way she's talked and acted and beat them down for years." - Chief
