One Flew Over the Cuckoo nest: Quote 9

“After that, McMurphy had things his way for a good long while. The nurse was biding her time till another idea came to her that would put her on top again.” Page 193

Again, this quote shows the need for power and control, McMurphy is in control, so Nurse Ratched must get back the control. The book works like this throughout, one gains control then loses it, then the other gains control and loses it. It is an ongoing process in which neither of them wins.
