I am posting a whole bunch of Oz quotes because it is my mission to get ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dragonessasmith, and anyone else I can, to watch Oz right now!
"Even the best prison wouldn't be good enough! I am going to try one more time with you McManus. Now I am not saying that the men in Oz are innocent. I am saying that they are not here because of the crimes that they commmitted but because of the color of their skin! Their lack of education, the fact that they are poor. You see this is not about getting smoking back, or conjugal rights. It's not even about life in prison. It's about society taking responsibility! It's about the whole horrid judicial system! Now we don't need more prisons, bigger prisons, better prisons. We need better justice."-Said
"Yeah, who cares who lives or dies in prison? We read the names in the morning paper and they mean nothing to us. They're faceless. Truth is, we don't wanna put a face on 'em. We don't want to know who they really are. Because then it might hit too close to home, and home is what it's all about, right? Making a home no matter where you are, no matter who you are. At the end of the day, everybody wants somewhere to rest, somewhere to lay their bones, even if it's in a land called Oz."-Hill
"Oz, that's the name of the street for the Oswald Maximum Security Penitentiary. Oz is retro, Oz is retribution. You wanna punish a man? Separate him from his family, separate him from himself, cage him up with his own kind."-Hill
Beecher-"What now?"
Rebadow-"We go to our cells, and they count heads, and lock us up for the night."
Beecher-"It's five o'clock, what I'm supposed to do, what time is lights out?"
Rebadow-"Ten p.m"
Beecher-"What do I do for five hours?"
Rebadow-"Try to keep breathing"
Adebissi-"Better watch that pretty little ass."
Ryan-"No need. You're too busy watching it for me."
"Just because I talk to God doesn't mean I'm crazy."-Rebadow
Groves-"I've been reading a lot since I got here about different faiths, and yours is pretty nifty."
Father Mukada-"Catholicism is nifty?"
Groves-"You have that whole mystical transabstentiation thing going."
Father Mukada-"That's right. The Eucharist becomes the body of Christ."
Groves-"So, you're actually eating his flesh and drinking his blood?"
Father Mukada-"That's right."
Groves-"Now, how can I not get behind a religion like that?"
"I'll give you ten minutes to take your hand off my dick"-Scott Ross
"A salami, I like 'em."-Groves
(During the riot)
Warden Glynn-"What's this about Said?"
Said-"If you have to ask, Glynn, then we got a long day ahead of us."
(Also during the riot)
Jackson Vahue-"Hill, I go out there, they gonna kick my fucking ass."
Augustus Hill-"They gonna be kicking our asses anyway, brother."
(Another from the riot. Did I mention it's my favorite episode?)
"You wanna save this place, right? And I want to destroy it. Brick by hypocritical brick."-Said
"I'm like the lord of the fucking dance. I got moves."-Ryan
Alvah Case-"Vehicular manslaughter, reckless endangerment, possession of controlled substances, possession of a deadly weapon, violation of parole. That's an amazing list of crimes."
Ryan-"Well, you know, I applied myself."
Sister Pete-"So you went along with Beecher not in the name of the Aryan Brotherhood, but to see if he would love you no matter what."
Chris Keller-"At first I wanted unconditional surrender, then I wanted unconditional love. But Beecher don't love me."
Sister Pete-"And that's killing you inside."
Chris Keller-"Yeah."
"I ain't saying drugs are good. But when your past is past and your present sucks and your future holds nothing but broken promises and dead dreams, the drugs'll kill the pain. Listen up, America, you ain't ever gonna get rid of drugs until you cure pain."-Hill
Adebisi-"O'Reily, if she sucks my cock, I'll suck yours."
Ryan-"That's an appetizing thought. Pass."
Kenny-"That's fucking what I heard. Rebadow collected like 3 G's. And that money's gone tomorrow. Know what? I'm thinking we go to Rebadow, we take the dough, and so these other fucks don't get mad, we make Rebadow swear he sent it."
Adebisi-"No."
Kenny-"What do you mean no? It's $3,000."
Adebisi-"I said no."
Kenny-"Why?"
Adebisi-"'Cause sometimes it's good to be human."
"Hey, will you shut the fuck up? I'm trying to masturbate!"-Alvarez
Beecher-"You hate the law? Well, I love it. I love the law, even if it didn't turn out in my favor. You know why I love the laws we have in this state? Because it keeps people like Schillinger, Adebisi and Hernandez away from my kids."
Keller-"I'll see you."
Beecher-"When?"
Keller-"Back here... or in Heaven."
Beecher-"You really think we're going to get into Heaven?"
Keller-"Aw, you and me together... God doesn't have the balls to keep us out."
McManus-"I'm sorry Rebadow, it's your word against his. The word of a correctional officer against the word of an inmate... who is known to talk to god."
"Lights out means shut the fuck up."-Ryan
"If you're not part of the solution, you're Satan's tool."-Timmy Kirk
"Hey, everybody listen up, Robson went down to the dentist and got himself a nice pair of dirty ghetto gums!"-Ryan
"In my experience, you don't love Ryan O'Reily by choice."-Gloria
Cyril-"Daddy said, it's not good for big boys to cry."
Ryan-"Yeah, well, you know what? Dad was wrong. Dad was wrong, and I was wrong. We were all so fucking wrong, Cyril. Man, I'm so sorry."
"Well, ain't that a kick? One of you actually went and lynched yourselves."-Officer Johnson
"Listen to me, listen to me. I loved alcohol, I loved heroin. I had to put them behind me because they were poison, death. YOU are death. Let me live."-Beecher (to Keller)
"So, what have we learned? What's the lesson for today? For all the never-ending days and restless nights in Oz? That morality is transient? That virtue cannot exist without violence? That to be honest is to be flawed? That the giving and taking of love both debases and elevates us? That God or Allah or Yahweh has answers to questions we dare not even ask? The story is simple. A man lives in prison and dies. How he dies, that's easy. The who and the why is the complex part. The human part. The only part worth knowing."-Hill
Also is it just me or do the eyes in this picture look like Ryan's?
