Delia Mendez-Powell quotes from Orange Is the New Black

Delia Powell

You seem upset.

I'm pregnant in prison, lady. Were you really expecting for me to be all happy and glowy?

Delia Powell

No, no. I just... I thought... I thought we would talk a little bit more.

What is there to say? I don't feel anything for this baby.

Delia Powell

It's hard to have love for something that's camping out on your bladder. I remember watching my ass turn into my Aunt Louise's. It was not a good look. But, um, I also remember having these really vivid dreams.

None of this is what dreams are made of. It was just a mistake. So, if you're trying to prove something by taking that on, God bless.

Delia Powell

You can't sign the paper until you've had the baby.

[chuckles] Oh, I get it now.

Delia Powell

Is there somebody in here that you could talk to? You know, a professional or something?

[chuckles] My counselor is an old white man who tries to connect by saying "Hola" in the hallway. [sighs] And lucky for you, my mom is all up for the deal. I talk to her sometimes, mmm, when she's not being a total bitch. Go team.

Mommy, she hasn't written me back. I write her every day, tell her how much I love her. I write lists of names for the baby, compose short stories about the future of our relationship, remind her of other star-crossed lovers throughout history who have overcome great obstacles to be together, Romeo and Juliet, Lolita and the old guy, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins.

Delia Mendez-Powell

Honey, none of those couples ended up together.

I love her, Mommy. I love her.

Delia Mendez-Powell

I know you do.

I was not a rapist! [beat] With her.

I'm gonna get out of here. I'm gonna be the best father anybody could ever want.

Delia Mendez-Powell

George, why don't you focus on the positive? If it's not yours, maybe we can get you out of here a lot faster -

That woman and the baby she's carrying are the only things that keep me alive. They're gonna change my life, Mommy. They're gonna make me into the man I always knew I could be, the man you said I could be.
