Scenes with Tobias Beecher 31

What's your best memory of your son?

Tobias Beecher

The first time he came up unprompted and hugged me and said, "Daddy, I love you."

Beecher, I promise not to hurt your daughter or anybody else in your family. See, I wanna believe that you are innocent of killing Hank. I wanna believe because I need to believe in something. Something besides hate. This grandchild that's coming is my last chance. My last hope. I want this kid to put his arms around my neck and say, "I love you." Because see, I never had that before.

Tobias Beecher

I am sorry about your son.

I'm sorry about yours too.

[inmates watch TV game show "Up Your Ante", with Tim McManus competing against Robert Iler]

UYUp Your Ante Host

We start off with $10, and the category today, Tim, is vocabulary. And the question is:what is a tittle?

I think I know this. I'm gonna humor you, I'm gonna ask for a hint. Did you cover this in sixth grade English, Robert?

RIRobert Iler

Well, first off, I'm in high school. And yeah, they did cover this... In the third grade.

UYUp Your Ante Host

Would you like to give him a hint, Robert?

RIRobert Iler

It comes with crosses on T's.

I saw a show where they were discussing tittles, and it wasn't punctuation.

RIRobert Iler

Yeah, it's not punctuation. It's a diacritical mark.

[cut to inmates watching]

Tobias Beecher

Kid's right.

[cuts back to TV]

You're a good guy, Robert, but I've been around a little longer. A tittle is a breast implant.

[cuts back to inmates]

CPChucky Pancamo

Leave it to McManus to go for breasts.

[cuts back to TV]

UYUp Your Ante Host

No, in fact, it is the dot above an "I."

[buzzer sounds, then cuts back to inmates]

Dumb ass.

CCCarmen 'Chico' Guerra

I always knew McManus was an idiot. Now everybody else does, too.

Yo, man, don't be fucking dogging McManus out, all right?

CCCarmen 'Chico' Guerra

Oh, I'm sorry, White. I forgot you've been sucking his cock these days.

I'm not sucking his cock, fag.

CCCarmen 'Chico' Guerra

Then... You must be taking it up the ass.

Who are all these numbnuts who play the lottery?

ABAgamemmnon Busmalis

I played the lottery.

Tobias Beecher

Me too.

Like I said. Numbnuts. Out of 51 numbers, you got to pick the right number not once, but six times in a row.

ABAgamemmnon Busmalis

I say it is possible to win.

Jesus Christ, Busmalis. You'd have a better chance of getting struck by lightening.

ABAgamemmnon Busmalis

Approximately 1,000 people a year win a million dollars or more in North American lotteries. In contrast, less then a hundred people a year hit by lightening.

Homosexuality is a perversion against Gods will.

I agree.

And yet you practice sodomy yourself.

I'm no faggot.

You raped Beecher. And Cyril O'Reily and God knows how many others.

I never touched anybody.

Tobias Beecher

You lying cock sucking fuck.

Tobias Beecher

How can you deny what you did? Get up!

Tobias Beecher

Get up!

Officer! Stop it!

HHack

Come on!

Tobias Beecher

Come on! Fuck! You fucking lying bitch! You lying fucking sack of shit.

This will be the first time I ever have to make my own bed.

Tobias Beecher

Adam, take my word. Nothing you experienced growing up in Bryant Park has prepared you for life in Oz. I know it's hard but I'll be here for you. I promise. Your dad was my scoutmaster for God's sake.

You have to understand something. That girl Franklin and I raped... We were drunk. All of us. Partying. I blacked out. I never meant to hurt her.

Tobias Beecher

Yeah but you did. That's why you're standing where you're standing. Don't forget that. Ever. The guilt may keep you sane. Get settled and uh...I'll introduce you around.

I couldn't face living the rest of my life in here without you. Don't you see? I did what I did out of love.

Beecher

I loved alcohol. I loved heroin. But I had to put them behind me because they were poison. Death. You... are death. Let me live.

CKChris Keller

If it weren't for me, you'd be in the morgue, instead of Schillinger.

Tobias Beecher

Maybe.

CKChris Keller

Yeah.

Tobias Beecher

But if you think I got any satisfaction out of killing him, you're wrong. You don't know me at all.

CKChris Keller

I don't know you? I know you're free of that Nazi fuck!

Tobias Beecher

No, I'm not. No more free than I am of his two sons, or Metzger or Cathy Rockwell. Chris, after six years in this place I'm not sure about anything anymore. Heaven, justice, truth. The only thing I believe in is life. Every life is precious. Not just yours or mine, but every single person on the planet who's breathing, their lives are precious. And the loss of a single life, even in Oz, is my loss, too.

CKChris Keller

Well, that's bullshit. The only thing that matters is you and me.

Tobias Beecher

I don't expect you to understand. You kill for sport.

CKChris Keller

I don't understand? I'm not the one who got here by accident, pal. I kill because I have to. I kill what stands in my way like the Aryans.

Tobias Beecher

What? What about the Aryans?

CKChris Keller

That they're no threat to us anymore. I took care of that.

Tobias Beecher

How? How'd you take care of it?

CKChris Keller

Never mind, kiss me.

Tobias Beecher

Wait. Answer me this first, okay?

CKChris Keller

Hmm?

Tobias Beecher

I want you to be honest, okay? Did you purposely fuck up my parole?

CKChris Keller

Toby, I couldn't face the rest of my life living in here without you. Don't you see? I did what I did out of love.

Tobias Beecher

If you really love me, then leave me alone.

CKChris Keller

I can't.

Tobias Beecher

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.

Tobias Beecher

When God was designing the universe why did he make something so wonderful so fucking painful?

I think he thought we could handle it.
