Oz quotes

A little birdie told me a secret about you and I just came to see if it was true. You got a cell phone?

Nikolai

No.

Oh. Then I guess that's what I get for listening to little birdies. Because if you did have a cell phone, you'd let me borrow it. You'd share, right?

Nikolai

Share? No. Rent, maybe, if I had one, which I don't.

I know. You told me, and I believe you. Because that's just the kind of friendship we have, right?

Nikolai

Right.

So sorry to bother you.

Nikolai

Not a problem.

Bye, Nikolai.

Morales

I'm a businessman. I like Armani suits, I surf the web.

Morales

You could be an undercover cocksucker. But undercover cocksuckers aren't allowed to use drugs. (lays a line of cocaine)

Pancamo

Enjoy.

El Cid

You know, I want Alvarez dead. I don't know why. It's like this itch that I can't scratch.

Adebisi

I don't like Jamaicans.

Pancamo

You don't like anybody.

Schillinger

I got a job for you to do, for the Brotherhood.

How much?

Schillinger

How much what?

How much cash?

Schillinger

$2,000.

I'm all yours, daddy.

I want to be lost in oblivion.

You forgive me?

Yes.

What makes you think I want your fucking forgiveness?

Now, Shirley, don't cuss.

You come in here all high and mighty deciding to free me of my guilt? Well, Zeke, I don't feel guilty. I did what l had to do, and unlike you, at least my balls were big enough. You came to console me? Well, I've got a little consolation prize for you. You and the chanteuse ought to go ahead and have yourselves another child, because when Katie died, you didn't lose a child. She wasn't yours.

What?

Your father raped me. That child was his seed.

Don't fuck with Querns!

(the morning of her execution) Woke up with a crick in my neck. Must've slept wrong.

Maybe stress.

In any case, the hangin'll take care of the crick.

Hill

We are merciful because We ourselves want to be saved

Hill

God expects Mercy. He demands it. And yet how much mercy does He show us?

Shirley, do you have any thoughts as the hour approaches?

Thoughts? Of course I have thoughts, how could I not?

Would you share them with us?

Sure. I'm wondering why anyone cares what my thoughts are. Sure as hell didn't care when my husband was drunk and beat me. Or my father-in-law rape me. No, it wasn't until I killed my daughter, until I did something horrific that what I think matters. All I wanted was for someone to pay attention and now that they finally are, I see that my life then, or now, isn't worth shit.

Augustus Hill

Mercy is the compassion we feel for someone else's misfortune. Mercy compels us to alleviate that misfortune. Mercy is a child of charity, but the sister of justice because both are about the invisible link that exists between people. Mercy is spontaneous because misery is involuntary.

Bob Rebadow

An extraordinary experience watching the life fade from someone's eyes. Even as he was dying, Hernandez's instinct was to kill me for killing him. Survival meant less to him than revenge.
