Orange Is the New Black quotes

Young love: they have no idea what they're in for.

Sam Healy

It doesn't always end badly.

Oh, said the man whose wife sleeps in her mother's bed to the prisoner whose brand-new divorce certificate is her most prized possession.

Sam Healy

You gotta believe in something. Why not love?

Because "happily ever after" was invented for the storybooks, so kids reach breeding age without killing themselves.

Sam Healy

So, love is the lie we tell ourselves so we don't go extinct? That's pretty bleak, Red, even for you.

Oh, and you caught me on a glass-half-full day.

Sam Healy

So, you don't think there's someone out there you're meant to be with?

Of course I do. Everybody has a soul mate. But they're usually on the other side of the bars, or the wall, or the planet from you. That's the way the universe works.

Sam Healy

You're not gonna be in prison forever. You got a future to think about.

Our ships passed too late in the night for one of them to change course, Sam.

What happened to you that you're like this, Piscatella? Huh? What? Were you a pet-killing scourge of the cul-de-sac? Or was it more of a Drama of the Gifted Child situation? Huh? Did Papa Piscatella rage on you for being "Little Desi the Queer"?

You watch closely, Nichols, 'cause you're gonna be contestant number two.

Come on, man. I genuinely would love to understand how it is that a man gets to be this fucked up! [Piscatalla slaps Nicky on the face and the others look back in shock and whimper] Come on! What's the original narcissistic wound?

Nicky, stop. He doesn't speak human.

I got news! And a pie! [Cindy opens the door to see her "sister" and mother arguing in the kitchen]

No, you lied to me!

I had no choice.

Bullshit! I knew something wasn't right. They way you look at me, the way you treat me, the way you yell at me all the time, and all your stupid rules! I fucking hate you!

Wait.

Whoa! Monica! I don't care what she did. You don't talk to Mom like that.

"Mom?" That's a good one, 'cause this letter says something different. [shows letter to Cindy]

[takes letter from Monica] What do you mean? What is this?

What's the matter, prison girl? Can't you read?

Who-who sent this?

One of your prison friends. They told her everything.

So you're gonna admit it? Or are you gonna just stand there and keep lying to me like you have my entire life? [Cindy is speechless] Fuck all y'all! [to Lillian] You're a lying bitch [to Cindy] and you're a waste of fucking space. Far as I'm concerned, I don't got a mother. [goes to her room]

Monica?

Wait.

Monica.

Don't go.

Monica!

Mom. Ma, I swear on the Bible I had nothing to do with this. No, Mom! Please you gotta believe me. The last thing I want in this world is to bring you trouble!

It's never your fault, is it, Cindy? But somehow, every time you show up, there's a whole new mess I got to clean. [she leaves the kitchen]

Ma.

Piper Chapman

[voice-over] I've always loved getting clean. But now, when I say clean, I'm not talking about baths and showers anymore. I'm talking about a clean sweep. Clean living. A clean conscience. And a clean slate.
