No threats against his family?
Not that we know, but we just work here. We go home after our shifts. It's the convicts who are here 24/7, they know what really goes on.
He means inmates.
He means convicts.
What, you don't like that word? What do you care?
[Charlie turns to face the guard]
Come on Crews, let's go.
Yeah, we know who you are. Know you did your 12 years. Maybe you were innocent. Maybe not. It don't make no difference to us, because we know what you did to that correction officer in Pelican Bay. That makes you a con. Don't it?
You two need to escort us out now.
You gettin' angry, convict?
[calmly] Anger ruins joy. Steals the goodness of my mind. Forces my mouth to say terrible things. Overcoming anger brings peace of mind. Leads to a mind without regrets. If I overcome anger, I will be delightful and loved by everyone.
Are you making fun of us?
It is the universe that makes fun of us all.
[turns and faces other guard, walks away. Reese gives them both a dirty look]
