“A Word to the Wise” quotes from Oz

Chucky, are you afraid of dying?

Pancamo

No.

(knocking on cell door) What the fuck you doing with a cigarette, Pancamo?

Pancamo

Smoking it.

Put it out, now! Or I'm coming in there.

Pancamo

Now, her I'm afraid of.

The man's dying, Leo. I think in this case, ending his life would be a blessing.

Warden Glynn

But that's euthanasia. I thought your church was against euthanasia.

My church is against a lot of things I'm not.

[to Schillinger] Hey, Vern. Four marriages, I never had any kids, so I don't know dick about parenting, but you, fuck, you deserve some sort of prize. One son, you give him drugs knowing he'll OD. The other you set up for lethal injection. You're father of the fucking year, but you know what the best news is? When both your sons are dead, that'll be the end of it, 'cause you ain't making any more children. Not in here. So that when you die, your name dies with you. Everything you are dies when you do. And the world'll be a better place.

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.
