Schillinger

[upon seeing Beecher dressed in drag] My God! You're even prettier than I thought you'd be!

Schillinger

So Said's nigger ass is in the hole, it looks like Arif's in charge. These motherfuckers are more pissed off than ever. I want you guys to watch each other's backs. Carry weapons from now on. This shit's coming down and it's coming down hard.

Schillinger

You're dead, sweetpea.

Schillinger

(realizing Keller switched the shanks) That cocksucker!

Schillinger

Like my tattoos? I'm going to get you one.

No, thanks.

Schillinger

Oh, yeah, I'm going to brand you myself.

Livestock gets branded.

Schillinger

Yeah, livestock, that's what you are... my livestock. Because now, Tobias, your ass belongs to me.

Schillinger

Hey there, sweet pea. How was church? You feeling all sanctified and pure? Get undressed. We're taking a shower.

I already had a shower.

Schillinger

Oh, that's all right. When I'm done with you, you'll need another one.

Yo Markstram, man. What if Keane didn't kill Martinez? What if they got the wrong guy?

MMarkstram

He did it, Kenny.

Look, I know he did it! I'm just saying, what if he didn't?

JJoey

All I'm saying, Nino, is you gotta wonder what the guy's doing; what the guy's thinking sitting on Death Row knowing he's gonna die!

The only difference between you and him, Joey, is he knows the exact date he'll die!

Schillinger

The state's gonna let Keane pick his method of execution. Me, I'd pick hanging.

MMack

What about lethal injection?

Schillinger

That's for pussies.

They say lethal injection causes no pain. How do they know? Did someone come back from the dead and say they didn't feel anything?

Vernon Schillinger

So the state's gonna let Keane choose which way he's gonna go out. Me, I'd take hanging.

MMMark Mack

What about lethal injection?

Vernon Schillinger

That's for pussies.

DGDonald Groves

They say that lethal injection causes no pain. How do they know? Did someone come back from the dead and say they didn't feel anything?

[Beecher confronts Schillinger in the gym]

Vernon Schillinger

You're gonna die!

Not today!

[Beecher kicks Schillinger in the groin, then bashes his head with a dumbbell, then proceeds to tie him up with a crowd cheering him on]

Yeah, tie that motherfucking Nazi up!

[Beecher then takes a bench and slams it onto Schillinger's chest, then pulls down his pants]

Hey, motherfucker, you remember THIS!

[proceeds to defecate onto Schillinger's face, the crowd cheers]

Ah, he SHIT on him!

[Beecher laughs diabolically]

Sieg heil, baby! Sieg fucking heil!

Schillinger

I had a visit from my sons. They're almost out of their teens now, almost men. Yesterday my boys sat there across from me ranting and raging. They were both fucked up on drugs. They know I hate drugs, that I'm in here because I hate drugs and because I love them. I got about three months until I'm up for parole. All I want to do is get out of here, be there for them. Try to help my kids. That's all.

If I put you back into Em City, you'll kill Beecher.

Schillinger

If I wanted him dead, he'd already be dead.

You say you've changed. Why should I believe you?

Schillinger

(smiles) Trust me, McManus. You lose an eye, you get kicked in the balls, you get a face full of shit, you become a different man.

Schillinger

I don't want any trouble.

No, of course not! You get into a fight, you fuck up your parole! And I hear that for the next few months, you're gonna be a good little boy so you can get out of Oz and save your two sons. You know, I think that's great. But what I'm wondering is: what if Vern never gets out? What if, as he comes up for parole, he gets into a brawl? A knock-down drag-out with his old roomie! What if, every time he comes up for parole, Vern gets into some ugly incident and has to serve his entire sentence? And his two sons, they become monsters. (laughs) That's just what I'm wondering about.

Hey Schillinger.

Schillinger

What do you want?

How much would it cost to mail me out of here?

Schillinger

Mail you? What are you talking about?

I've been trying to think of ways to get out of here.

Schillinger

Escape from Oz?

Yeah. And I figured, you know, you could box me up in a crate and mail me to my wife overnight express, Priority Mail, whatever. How much would that cost? Postage, shipping, handling, et cetera?

Schillinger

Are you serious?

Yeah.

Schillinger

Then you're nuts.

Is that a no?

Schillinger

Yeah. No. No, yeah, it's a no. Get the fuck out of here before I tip you over.

All right, Vern, I ain't mad at you. You can't help it if you're ugly and stupid.

MOfficer Mineo

Congratulations! It's a boy! A bouncing, baby boy. Your son arrived yesterday.

Schillinger

Which unit's he in?

MOfficer Mineo

Your favorite: Emerald City.
