This Spoils the Ending
In the Book In the Movie
   After returning from the Disturbed ward, Bromden reveals that he can talk and hear to the other patients. Bromden only talks to McMurphy.
   When the lobotomised McMurphy is sent back to the regular ward, the patients all see him, mentioning that he must be a fake and a desperate move from Ratched. Only Bromden sees the vegetable McMurphy.
   Scanlon urges Bromden to escape the hospital. Bromden escapes of his own accord.
   Most of the volunteer patients leave the hospital while Ratched is unable to speak. The patients are not seen leaving.
