Nurse Ratched: Now you feel better, don't you?

Sefelt: Yes, ma'am.

After being attacked by McMurphy, Nurse Ratched seems to act extra kindly to the patients of the mental hospital. It's not clear whether the attack has permanently changed her personality. Maybe she's just playing it cool until she regains her power. Either way, it's safe to say that McMurphy's lobotomy has changed him a lot more than the attack has changed Ratched.
