Chief Bromden: I'm not going without you, Mac. I wouldn't leave you here this way.
When Chief Bromden realizes that McMurphy has had a lobotomy, he decides that he can't possibly let him live out such a shameful existence. So he grabs a pillow and smothers the dude to death. In his mind, this is much better than letting Mac live like a zombie.
