Diane Wittlesey quotes from Oz

Wittlesey

There's something in the air. And it ain't love.

My ex was a big hunter, he was always going off with his buddies so I said to him one time to take me. After some complaining, he did. So I got there in the forest with this big hunky shotgun and I fired at a deer. Hit it dead on. So I went over to this thing and I leaned down and this deer looked up at me with these eyes, these eyes like flashlights. I knelt beside it and I held it's head and I whispered, "I'm sorry." And like batteries going bad the light in its eyes flickered a little bit and went out. For the next two years we were married, every time I walked into the den I had to look at this fucking deer's dead eyes. I had to dust them. When we got divorced that's all I asked for, the deer's head. Then I buried it.

To Lawrence Smith. A fine man who died too young.

Diane Wittlesey

Yeah. Amen.

Here's to Donald Groves, a freak of nature who lived too long.

Diane Wittlesey

Yeah, probably.

I killed a man who killed a man. I killed a man. Only maybe I didn't kill him, because they put blanks in one of the rifles so maybe-- I mean, I can never know for sure if I killed him or not. Only not knowing is maybe worse than knowing. Because at least if I knew--

Diane Wittlesey

Eddie. Go home.

So, thank you for last night.

Diane Wittlesey

You wanted Beecher dead, right?

Yeah, I wanted him dead.

Diane Wittlesey

You paid me, right? Two grand?

Yeah.

Diane Wittlesey

Wanna see the body?

Shit. Yeah.

Diane Wittlesey

All right. In here. [She takes him into a room, Beecher walks in.]

What the fuck?

Tobias Beecher

Nice try, Vern baby.

Beecher. [McManus and some COs come in.]

Tim McManus

Got anything to say?

About what? I don't know what you're talking about.

Diane Wittlesey

You wanted Beecher dead, right?

Yeah, I wanted him dead. [tape recording stops]

Tim McManus

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.

Tim McManus

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.

Diane Wittlesey

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.

Diane Wittlesey

Just doing my job, pal. For once I agree with that Nazi fuck.

You know what your problem is, Diane? You wanna be everybody's best pal.

Diane Wittlesey

And your problem? You wanna be everybody's worst nightmare.
