Ryan O`Reily quotes from Oz

Ryan O'Reily

When I was a kid and all this shit was going down in our house, my dad was wailing on us non-stop, so I went to our pastor. I had a welt on my back the size of this fist, so, I asked to good Monsignor if he could please talk to my dad and ask him to stop beating on us. He said if my dad hit us it was because we were bad and we deserved to be punished. Then he told me to go home and honor thy father.

Simon Adebisi

You are a sick motherfucker, O'Reily.

Ryan O'Reily

Coming from you, that's a compliment.

Vernon Schillinger

You're gonna die!

Tobias Beecher

Not today!

Ryan O'Reily

Yeah, tie that motherfucking Nazi up!

Tobias Beecher

Hey, motherfucker, you remember THIS!

Ryan O'Reily

Ah, he SHIT on him!

Tobias Beecher

Sieg heil, baby! Sieg fucking heil!

Ryan O'Reily

McManus, you gotta see that I love her, man.

Tim McManus

Love? What the fuck do you know about love?

Ryan O'Reily

Well, what do you know, huh? What do any of us?

Tim McManus

I know it's not a reason to commit murder.

Ryan O'Reily

Yeah, well then, maybe you've never really been in love.

Ryan O'Reily

McManus! I fucked up a lot of people's lives.

Tim McManus

Yeah.

Ryan O'Reily

My brother Cyril got slow because of me. We were at this funeral and there was this chick there that I used to date. [Flashbacks of Cyril being injured as Ryan talks.] She was there with her new boyfriend, some wise guy. But she and me, we're still hot for each other. Cyril got brain-damaged defending me. When the doctors told me that Cyril would never be the same again, that he would have the mind of a five-year-old, fuck, it crushed me. So I got wasted. I lost control. Everything I've done since I've gotten here was to protect my ass so I could make parole. But what I feel for Gloria, it blinded me. So I lost control again. So now Cyril's in Oz and he's gonna be here for 60 years and he got raped by Schillinger and he's afraid. So I gotta stay here with Cyril. I gotta protect my brother. For once in my fucking life, I'm gonna be his big brother.

Tim McManus

You had Cyril kill Gloria's husband?

Ryan O'Reily

Yes.

Tim McManus

You'll be brought up on charges.

Ryan O'Reily

That's what I deserve.

They broke both his arms and his legs?

Hey, what's he do if he gets an itch?

He looked like a fucking pretzel.

Bob Rebadow

That's because he was in love with Keller.

Agamemnon Busmalis

Love hurts.

Kareem Said

Schillinger did this.

Ryan O'Reily

Fucking Schillinger did this, man.

Yo, I want to move in here.

Why?

It's a better view.

Tim McManus

How'd this happen? Who took Beecher to the gym?

I don't know, but I'll find out.

Ryan O'Reily

Jesus Christ. Why they gotta show that?

Don't be a vag, O'Reily.

Ryan O'Reily

Hey, pal, I'm no vag but why they gotta put that stuff on TV?

Bob Rebadow

It's evidence in Coyle's trial.

Ryan O'Reily

Evidence, fine. But show it in the Goddamned courtroom and not on the fucking local news. Hey how would you like it if you came home, you put the tube on, there's your grandmother with her guts spilling out for everyone to fucking see?

Ryan O'Reily

Let me get this straight. You aim for the doctor, but you got the son instead.

No, I aimed for the son.

Ryan O'Reily

You took out the kid on purpose?

Yeah. Now that doctor knows how I feel. He killed my baby, I killed his.

Cyril O'Reily

What are you gonna say to him when you see him?

Who?

Cyril O'Reily

The doctor's son up in Heaven. I already know what I'm gonna say to Dr. Nathan's husband if they let me in.

Ryan O'Reily

I do things different here in Oz than the way we worked on the street. For instance, when I want someone dead, I never grease them myself. I always-- I always talk someone else into doing the deed for me. I make them believe the person I want dead is their enemy. That way the kill can't be traced back to me.

That's so cool.

Ryan O'Reily

You got, what, seven years till parole?

Uh-huh.

Ryan O'Reily

You think you'll go the distance?

Sure, I'll get out.

Ryan O'Reily

Yeah. That's good. You keep believing that, Patrick. You know how I said that I always get someone to kill for me?

Yeah.

Ryan O'Reily

Well in your case, I'm gonna make an exception.

Cyril O'Reily

Ryan tells me to take my medicine, but I don't sometimes. Like today.

What about, uh, before the accident? Do you remember anything about that?

Cyril O'Reily

There are flashes, once in a while. Like, now. I see you, and I think maybe I know you.

We've met, years ago, when you were fifteen. You and your brother and I, we talked about your lives in the gang.

Cyril O'Reily

You make Mama sad. You made Mama cry. You gave my Mama cancer. [Cyril punches Eldridge]

Oh, shit!

Sean Murphy

Central, this is 11, we've got a 66.

Cyril O'Reily

Ryan said at the grave that you gave my mother cancer. [he continues to pummel Eldridge]

Ryan O'Reily

[screaming] Cyril! Cyril! [The SORT team arrives.]

Cyril O'Reily

You gave my mama cancer!

Ryan O'Reily

Cyril! Cyril! Cyril! [Cyril is carried away by the SORT team.]

Cyril O'Reily

You gave my mama cancer!

Ryan O'Reily

Cyril! Cyril! Cyril!

Cyril O'Reily

Mama! Mama!

Ryan O'Reily

Cyril!

Cyril O'Reily

Ryan!

[runs into pod] Jack, Jack, Jack! Oh, Jack!

Lisa, did you -

What? Did I what?

Get it all on tape?

Ryan O'Reily

Hey, what's up, half-dick?

James Robson

Fuckin' Mick! Fuck hey! Hey, fuck!

Hey! Get in there!

Ryan O'Reily

Here you go, Alvarez.

Miguel Alvarez

Stupid fuck.

Ryan O'Reily

Hey, Smith.

Yeah?

Ryan O'Reily

Jenkins don't look so hot, man.

What do you mean? Oh! [Jenkins is hanging in his cell]

Ryan O'Reily

Guess he won't be eating his chicken nuggets.

Ah, sh...

Ryan O'Reily

Who are all these numbnuts who play the lottery?

I played the lottery.

Tobias Beecher

Me too.

Ryan O'Reily

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

I say it is possible to win.

Ryan O'Reily

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

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.

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.

Suddenly, I'm famous. I done six interviews, newspapers and TV, ever since that nonsense with your brother started. I got to admit I'm getting kind of used to the attention. They guy's down at Kelsey's, they've been buying me rounds every night. And there's this broad, sits at the end of the bar, she's been flirting with me. I might just fuck her.

Ryan O'Reily

You going to see Cyril while you're in the building?

Yeah, yeah. I guess I oughta. I don't know what the fuck I'm going to say to that boy.

Ryan O'Reily

Tell him you love him.

Oh, yeah, right.

Ryan O'Reily

You ever told Cyril that, dad? Cyril or anyone? Ma? Tessie when you were married? Have the words 'I love you' ever crossed your lips. Because I never heard them, not once.

Don't start with your whining.

Ryan O'Reily

I'm sorry, I forgot how sensitive you are.

You asked me to come, I'm here. State your business.

Ryan O'Reily

I want to talk about Carolyn.

Carolyn? What about her?

Ryan O'Reily

I want to talk about the day she died. I remember her crying, you know, non-stop for what seemed like hours. Tessie couldn't get her quiet. You were drunk and in a foul mood. Sit down!

Fuck you!

Ryan O'Reily

You sit...or I finish telling my story to a cop. Carolyn was crying and you took her from Tessie's arms and you put your hands around her and you shook her and you shook her and you shook her until she stopped, until she went limp like a rag doll.

She fell out of her crib.

Ryan O'Reily

No. I was there, Dad. I was in the doorway. I saw what happened.

You were just a kid. What the fuck did you know about anything? Think my old man didn't beat me, that fucking scumbag? My life has been nothing but shit since the day I was born, and I didn't have no brother to lean on like you did. I been alone my whole fucking life, and soon...you will be, too.

Ryan O'Reily

I'll never tell anyone the truth about what happened with Carolyn. That's between you and me. But, Dad...You better pray to Jesus Christ almighty himself that I never get out of this place, because when I do...I will kill you.

And on a more controversial note, in a stunning defeat for state prosecutors, convicted murderer Jazz Hoyt's death sentence was overturned. Instead of being executed as scheduled, Hoyt will be moved to the Oswald Correction facility's psychiatric unit, and then later to the Connolly Institute, a hospital in Morrisville, which specializes in treating the criminally insane.

Ryan O'Reily

This is bullshit! How come fuckin' Hoyt gets off and Cyril doesn't!?

Well, from a purely legal standpoint, the circumstances of each case are very different.

Ryan O'Reily

So, you're telling me that from the eyes of the law, Jazz Hoyt's life is worth preserving and my brothers isn't?

Afraid so, Ryan.

Ryan O'Reily

Goddamnit!

Unless our latest appeal is excepted by the court, Cyril dies, two weeks from Thursday.

Ryan O'Reily

Fuck.
