Vern Schillinger quotes from Oz

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.

Hey. What can I do for you?

Came to pick up the pool table.

James Robson

Yeah, is it fixed yet?

Yeah. The ball return was a little hinkey, but I unhinkied it.

Hey. You have the toaster done?

Hold your Calvins, Bochi boy. I'm in the middle of something.

Yeah well, I got lunch coming so these jokers can wait.

We don't wait for Wops.

Someone's going to teach you manners, Vernon.

Yeah well, It ain't going to be you prag.

James Robson

Oh hey! Look out!

Fuck off! Let me up!

You know...

Let me up!

I always wondered, [dips hand into black grease] was Adebisi's dick bigger then mine?

No! Fuck you! fuck! No!

You be the judge.

No!

Officer Brass. Good to see you.

Yeah? Why's that?

Glynn's bringing more and more nigger COs in here every day. In my book, any pale face is a good pale face.

Let me ask you something. Were you around the day I got cut?

No. Me and Robson were on work detail. Believe me, if I'd have been here I'd have pulled that monkey off you.

So you know which monkey it was?

Who exactly, no. I guarantee you this though. It wasn't a white man.

Hey Brass.

Yeah.

You drink?

Why? You want to go grab a couple of beers?

How about a blood, piss, shit, and puke cocktail, mother fucker? [throws the contents at Brass' face]

Ah! Ah! Son of a bitch!

Kareem Said

Homosexuality is a perversion against Gods will.

I agree.

Kareem Said

And yet you practice sodomy yourself.

I'm no faggot.

Kareem Said

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

I never touched anybody.

Tobias Beecher

You lying cock sucking fuck.

Sister Peter Marie

Tobias-

Tobias Beecher

How can you deny what you did? Get up!

Sister Peter Marie

Tobias!

Tobias Beecher

Get up!

Sister Peter Marie

Officer! Stop it!

Come on!

Tobias Beecher

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

How the mighty have fallen.

Adam Guenzel

Fuck you, faggot.

Guenzel.

Adam Guenzel

Hey, Vern. The boys in Em City send their regards.

Shut up.

Adam Guenzel

Hey, I was just - [Vern slaps Guenzel] God, what the fuck was -

You'll speak when you're spoken to.

Adam Guenzel

Hey, get the fuck off me! Get off of me!

Sir, sir, may I watch?

Well, if you don't, how are you ever gonna learn?

Not much of a meal there.

James Robson

Yeah, nothing cold or crunchy.

Why, are you on a diet?

James Robson

Because it hurts, dipshit, do I look fat to you? Goddamn it! Suddenly ice cream, croutons, it's like getting your gums raked. What the fuck is that?

They're probably recessive. My old man had bad gums.

When's the last time you got a cleaning?

James Robson

I don't know, five or six years ago. I hate the fucking dentist.

Don't fuck around with you mouth. My old man didn't deal, his mouth ended up a train wreck.

If I was you, I'd see Dr. Faraj. You don't want to be slurping turkey milk shakes in middle age.

James Robson

Faraj? I don't want some sand niggers paws probing in my mouth.

They wear gloves now, you know, since AIDS came along.

James Robson

Oh.

Jesus, how long has it really been?

James Robson

Just soup.

Sure you don't want no chitlins and gravy to go with that?

James Robson

What?

Ryan O'Reily

Shall we? [cafeteria staff bang utensils loudly] Everyone, listen up. Robson here went to the dentist and got himself a nice pair of dirty ghetto gums.

James Robson

Thanks Vern.

I didn't say a fucking word. [To Poet, who is laughing] Shut up, you goddamn nigger, just give him some soup!

[to Robson] Whoa, You going to take that, G, man calling your brother a nigger and all? [Robson intimidates Poet] Hey, don't get stupid. Don't want me to Sammy Sosa that jaw with this here spoon.

Keep it moving, girls.

James Robson

Hey. Jesus. Don't do this to me, Vern. You guys are all I got in here.

It's not my choice, James, we've got a charter to fallow. You know that charter better then anybody.

James Robson

I asked the fucking dentist. He said he put white mans gums in my mouth. White.

Really? 'Cause that bruise Dr. Faraj planted on your cheek is blue. That tells me you didn't get the answer you were looking for. Tomorrow you're moving to another cell.

Mayor Loewen.

Vernie, I wondered when you'd pop up.

It's great to see you, sir.

Is that mail for me?

Oh, yes. So, you comfortable got everything you need?

Yeah, mm-hmm.

You gave me quite a scare, well, when I heard you almost choked to death. When's the doctor releasing you?

I go back to unit J tomorrow. Christ.

Sir?

Another hate letter. Some nigger says I got off too easy. He says he's got a cousin here in Oswald who's gonna airhole me. What does "airhole" mean?

Kill.

Black bastard.

Don't worry your honor, I'm not gonna let anything happen to you.

Oh, yeah, is that right, huh? Well, from what I hear, the Aryans in Oswald are a sorry bunch. That guy who saved me from choking, Beecher, I hear you've been trying to airhole him for about six fucking years and all you have to show for it is that little scar above your eye there.

I did have his son killed. And his father.

What are you, an idiot? Saying shit like that out loud? You know, Vernie, I've got to tell you I never thought you were the brightest bulb in the chandelier. You always had this huge ego with nothing to back it up. You always had these big plans with no balls behind them. Shit. If it weren't for your daddy, I wouldn't have given you the time of fucking day. You're an embarrassment to the brotherhood.

I have balls.

Speak up, boy, I can't hear you.

: Nothing, sir.
