Alex: [narrating while being forced to watch a World War II movie with Nazis.] It was the next day, brothers. And I had truly done my best, morning and afternoon, to play it their way and sit like a horrorshow cooperative malchik in the chair of torture, while they flashed nasty bits of ultraviolence on the screen. Though not on the soundtrack, my brothers -- the only sound being music. Then I noticed, in all my pain and sickness, what music it was that, like, cracked and boomed. It was Ludwig Van -- 9th symphony, 4th movement.
Alex: [screaming] STOP IT! STOP IT, PLEASE! I BEG YOU! IT'S A SIN! IT'S A SIN! IT'S A SIN! IT'S A SIN! IT'S A SIN! IT'S A SIN!
Dr. Brodsky: Sin? What's all this about sin?
Alex: THAT! Using Ludwig van like that! He did no harm to anyone! Beethoven just wrote music!
Dr. Branom: Are you referring to the background score?
Alex: YES!
Dr. Branom: You've heard Beethoven before?
Alex: YES!
Dr. Brodsky: So you're keen on music?
Alex: [Emphatically] YES!
Dr. Brodsky: Can't be helped. Here's the punishment element perhaps. The Governor ought to be pleased...I'm sorry, Alex, this is for your own good. You'll have to bear with us for a while.
