Now, you all know how highly I've esteemed... James Robson, but the past, unfortunately, is nothing more then the past. Satan has scored a very ugly victory, and it pains me that Robson is a casualty. We must, never the less, abide by out principals, not our feelings. As of today, James Robson is no longer a part of the Brotherhood.

Come over here and ask me if you can fuck your wife. Come on, ask me! Now!
Can I be with my wife?
Fuck my wife.
Fuck my wife.
Louder, and say "please" and "sir".
Please, sir, may I fuck my wife?
Louder.
Please, sir, may I fuck my wife!
When you ask me like that, I can't deny you anything.
One of these Muslim monkeys was trying to tell me that Jesus was a nigger. He even quoted from the Bible trying to back his shit up.
Well, Jesus was from Judea so he was probably of an olive-colored skin.
Look at that picture there. Does that look like a nigger to you?
No.
You're getting awful mouthy, aren't you, prag?
No, sir. I am not, sir.
Yeah, I think I'm gonna have to teach you a lesson. Polish my boots.
Yes, sir.
With your tongue.
So, thank you for last night.
You wanted Beecher dead, right?
Yeah, I wanted him dead.
You paid me, right? Two grand?
Yeah.
Wanna see the body?
Shit. Yeah.
All right. In here. [She takes him into a room, Beecher walks in.]
What the fuck?
Nice try, Vern baby.
Beecher. [McManus and some COs come in.]
Got anything to say?
About what? I don't know what you're talking about.
[Diane plays tape recording]
You wanted Beecher dead, right?
Yeah, I wanted him dead. [tape recording stops]
You can forget about your parole hearing. Instead, get yourself a good lawyer. We're charging you with conspiracy to commit murder.
This is bullshit. I'm being set up.
Take him to the Hole.
How do you live with yourself?
How do you?
Whatever I've done, I've done for righteous reasons. Any laws I've broken don't deserve to be laws. But you, you fucking baby raper! You should be dead.
Back in your cage, Schillinger. Don't make me use this. You wouldn't want me to enjoy myself, now would you?
Thank you, Officer.
Just doing my job, pal. For once I agree with that Nazi fuck.
You must really love your son, Schillinger, to come in here and ask me for a favor. It must be chewing up your insides to have to stand here in my office begging me for your son's life. 'Cause this is what you're doing, right? Begging?
Yes.
Think of all the times I needed something from you and you just sit here with that stupid-ass grin on your face singing "doodah."
This is my son, goddamn it!
I thought you had two sons.
Yeah, I do.
Maybe you'll be luckier with the second.
Those are not the kind of men you should be hanging out with.
As opposed to who? Those standup individuals that make up your merry little band? I gotta tell you something. My whole life, you crammed into my head how superior we white folks are. I don't see the truth in that. I look around this room and I see white faces and black faces, every color in between and the only thing that I know for sure is that we're all shit. You know, shit don't come in degrees. White or black, shit is shit. So fuck everything you believe in, fuck everything you stand for, and fuck you.
Don't you dare talk to me like that!
Man, you hit me way too many times growing up!
What do you want?
The niggers are up to something.
The niggers are always up to something. So are you.
Look, I know there's been a lot of shit between us all over the years but we gotta put that aside. At least for now. We gotta be bound by the one thing that joins us all together. The color of our skin.
I am not gonna listen to this shit. C'mon, Chris.
Wait a sec. I wanna hear what he has to say.
I'm Russian, and I'm a Jew. But I'm also white. So Schillinger, do you accept me as a part of your group?
Yes.
Aw, fuck.
Hey, Beecher, this one’s for you.
It’s empty.
Yeah. We had to confiscate the contents.
A letter from my grandmother? What could have possibly been in here that you had to confiscate it?
Well, if I told you, then you’d know.
Beecher hasn't been out of his cell for two solid days. He just lies in his bunk sobbing like a wuss.
Good. That's what's truly elegant about this plan of mine. We don't physically touch Beecher, and yet the damage done is far more hideous.
Look, I said I'd protect you from Keller. I'll protect you. Okay?
Okay.
Now buzz off.
[Zabitz leaves]
Jesus, I thought the Jews were supposed to be tough.
That's just the Israelis.
Hmm. Kill him. I'm going to take that shot again.
Adebisi's turned Em City into a fucking Zulu nation.
What the fuck are we supposed to do?
Create our own country. [goes to McManus' office in Unit B] McManus, we gotta talk.
Make an appointment with my secretary.
This is serious.
Yeah, I can tell. You've got that Schillinger scowl going.
Your precious little dream, your Emerald City, is now a ghetto. You been there lately? Crap all over the floors, drugs everywhere, the lack of primary colours.
Well, that Unit is no longer my responsibility.
Hey, I got no problem with that. What we don't want is that new attitude over there to come wafting this way. They hear about what's going on, empowerment, they're gonna want the same thing here.
And you're suggesting what? That we make Unit B all white?
Yes.
Get the fuck away from me.
Hey, let the niggers have Em City. Fuck, let them have the whole goddamn prison as long as we're safe over here.
Goodbye, Vern.
[kicks office door open] Don't be a bigger fool than you've already been.
[presses alarm button] Lockdown! Lock the unit down!
You'll see! You'll wish you listened to me, McManus!
Now!
I'm just sick of all this horseshit. I want to concentrate on the birth of my first grandchild. You know, I just want a little taste of happiness.
Vern, you're starting to scare me.
Yeah, your kid was involved in all kinds of shit. Drug deals and pimping. So there's any number of people who might want him dead.
This is you consoling me?
Why don't we pray together?
How does the quote go? There is a time to be born, a time to die, a time for every purpose under heaven?
Yes.
Well, the time for praying is over.
