Dude Papillon, you did kill a guy. The guy who tried to kill Louis/Louis in the boat. At the beginning. Remember? You slit his throat. No? You did it softly, on;y scratched the surface? Hmm? Well, then he didn't die did he? And he wasn't dead when you spent most of the rest of the journey in the brig. All chained up. Who protected Louis then? You spent the rest of the movie with a ghost. And that brown girl. She feel a little hand shaped to you friend?
Forgive me if I'm wrong Papi. But your movie wasn't A No. 1. But no, I'll never forget you.

Ummm...@rz_sain, what are you talking about? Papillon DIDN'T kill either of the prisoners on the ship going to Devil's Island. He slashed the first one on his face disabling him from attacking Louis and by the time he reached the 2nd one the guards were on their way and the alarm had been sounded so in haste he told him if he ever tried to get Louis he'd kill him. Then "Pap" knocked his throat as a warning that he'd finish what he'd started.
Louis had been moved from Kilo-40 while Papillon was in solitary confinement and it appeared that he was in a "safer" environment.

What are you talking about in regards to the native girl and her little hand??

He wasn't lying to the nun as far as we're led to believe when he says he's never killed a man.

I suppose by this comment if it's a spoiler, it's out now.
They show both characters from that scene, bandaged and alive a few minutes later.

I'd worry more about the guy with the axe in his chest/shoulder in Honduras.

I think our (only slightly judgmental) OP RZA was asking if the "little brown girl" (on the island he escaped to for a while?)
felt hand-shaped, very cleverly implying the shocking news that prisoners in Solitary Confinement have been known to masterbate from time to time.
And prisoners not in Solitary, prisoners in maximum security, minimum security, Prisoners of Azkaban . . .
Everybody in the Whole Cell Block!

Thank goodness being married for 20-some years is nothing at all like being in jail, huh?

The OP is either a troll, or stupid, or both.

Schrodinger's cat walks into a bar and doesn't.

And the correct answer would be BOTH. Good call.
