“Exeunt Omnes” quotes from Oz

Keller

I couldn't face living the rest of my life in here without you. Don't you see? I did what I did out of love.

Beecher

I loved alcohol. I loved heroin. But I had to put them behind me because they were poison. Death. You... are death. Let me live.

Beecher

If you really love me, then leave me alone.

I have a little confession. You see, I'm a virgin. I've never had sex with man, woman, fish, or fowl.

I don't want to fuck you. That would be too common. I want to be you, Miguel Alvarez.

Alvarez

I am so tired. Tired of the lies, the hope, the emptiness, the fear, the death. I am so fucking tired.

Cyril

(As He is in the Electric Chair and the Hood is pulled over His Face)Mom what happening? What are They doing? Ryan? Ryan!

Schillinger

You're dead, sweetpea.

Schillinger

(realizing Keller switched the shanks) That cocksucker!

McManus

All I know is that the move is temporary. We'll be back someday.

Miguel Alvarez

I'm so tired. I'm tired of trying. I'm tired of the walls. The lies. The fear. The death. I'm so tired.

If it weren't for me, you'd be in the morgue, instead of Schillinger.

Tobias Beecher

Maybe.

Yeah.

Tobias Beecher

But if you think I got any satisfaction out of killing him, you're wrong. You don't know me at all.

I don't know you? I know you're free of that Nazi fuck!

Tobias Beecher

No, I'm not. No more free than I am of his two sons, or Metzger or Cathy Rockwell. Chris, after six years in this place I'm not sure about anything anymore. Heaven, justice, truth. The only thing I believe in is life. Every life is precious. Not just yours or mine, but every single person on the planet who's breathing, their lives are precious. And the loss of a single life, even in Oz, is my loss, too.

Well, that's bullshit. The only thing that matters is you and me.

Tobias Beecher

I don't expect you to understand. You kill for sport.

I don't understand? I'm not the one who got here by accident, pal. I kill because I have to. I kill what stands in my way like the Aryans.

Tobias Beecher

What? What about the Aryans?

That they're no threat to us anymore. I took care of that.

Tobias Beecher

How? How'd you take care of it?

Never mind, kiss me.

Tobias Beecher

Wait. Answer me this first, okay?

Hmm?

Tobias Beecher

I want you to be honest, okay? Did you purposely fuck up my parole?

Toby, I couldn't face the rest of my life living in here without you. Don't you see? I did what I did out of love.

Tobias Beecher

If you really love me, then leave me alone.

I can't.

Tobias Beecher

Listen to me. Listen to me. I loved alcohol. I loved heroin. I had to put them behind me because they were poison. Death. You are death. Let me live.

Tobias Beecher

When God was designing the universe why did he make something so wonderful so fucking painful?

I think he thought we could handle it.

Augustus Hill

So, what have we learned? What's the lesson for today, for all the never-ending days and restless nights in Oz? That morality is transient? That virtue cannot exist without violence? That to be honest is to be flawed? That the giving and taking of love both debases and elevates us? That God or Allah or Yahweh has answers to questions we dare not even ask? The story is simple. A man lives in prison and dies. How he dies that's easy. The who and the why is the complex part the human part the only part worth knowing. Peace.
