“Straight Life” quotes from Oz

I'm gonna give you ten minutes to get your hand off my dick!

Schillinger

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

Nino

You like tits?

Who doesn't?

Nino

My tits are firm and round. Maybe you could suck my tits?

You know, I know a lot of brothers who would love to.

Hill

Tits! That's what we call drugs. 60% of the violence in prison is due to tits! Either people not paying their dues or people trying to control the traffic. The traffic. (scoffs) Lately, here in Oz, the traffic has been bumper to bumper!

You have to take something, or you'll die!

Said

Oh believe me, doctor, I have no intention of dying!

Augustus Hill

I ain't saying drugs are good. But when your past is past and your present sucks and your future holds nothing but broken promises and dead dreams, the drugs'll kill the pain. Listen up, America, you ain't ever gonna get rid of drugs until you cure pain.

I always thought Keane and Markstrom were holding you back. From the get-go, you were a guy that sees how the world gets made. Adebisi. Ends in "I". Sure you're not Italian?

Simon Adebisi

Bob Rebadow

I'm sorry that you're ill.

Kareem Said

And who told you that I was ill?

Bob Rebadow

God.

Kareem Said

Oh, yes. You talk to God.

Bob Rebadow

When he's in town.

Kareem Said

Well, in Islam, we believe that only two people spoke to God directly. Mohammad], and praise be to him, and Moses. So, you see, you are in excellent company.

Bob Rebadow

You think I'm lying or deluded.

Kareem Said

Oh, yes.

Bob Rebadow

I may well be. I do know sometimes I can see inside men's souls.

Kareem Said

And can you see into mine, old man?

Bob Rebadow

Yes.

Kareem Said

And what is there?

Bob Rebadow

Anger.

Kareem Said

Yes, I am angry. I am angry at a society that cripples my people and infects their bodies.

Bob Rebadow

No, you're angry at God.

Kareem Said

I am not. My illness is Allah's will and I accept the bad as well as the good that God gives me.

Bob Rebadow

Still, you're angry at him and afraid. Afraid of dying.

Kareem Said

That is not true.

Bob Rebadow

You watched Jefferson Keane die, die gladly. Keane embraced death like a lover, like a traveler going home. You saw that and you were afraid. You realized you aren't as willing to go.
