We are both of us, the same, Mobay. Cop killers. Except every single day, I wish I could take back what I'd done.
JBJohnny Basil/Desmond Mobay
Goergen was a monster.
Yeah, it takes a monster to kill a monster, right?

Adebisi's turned Em City into a fucking Zulu nation.
JHJaz Hoyt
What the fuck are we supposed to do?
Create our own country. [goes to McManus' office in Unit B] McManus, we gotta talk.
Make an appointment with my secretary.
This is serious.
Yeah, I can tell. You've got that Schillinger scowl going.
Your precious little dream, your Emerald City, is now a ghetto. You been there lately? Crap all over the floors, drugs everywhere, the lack of primary colours.
Well, that Unit is no longer my responsibility.
Hey, I got no problem with that. What we don't want is that new attitude over there to come wafting this way. They hear about what's going on, empowerment, they're gonna want the same thing here.
And you're suggesting what? That we make Unit B all white?
Yes.
Get the fuck away from me.
Hey, let the niggers have Em City. Fuck, let them have the whole goddamn prison as long as we're safe over here.
Goodbye, Vern.
[kicks office door open] Don't be a bigger fool than you've already been.
[presses alarm button] Lockdown! Lock the unit down!
You'll see! You'll wish you listened to me, McManus!
Now!
S4 E8You Bet Your Life
I have everything. Everything I need. Every love satisfied. But it's not enough.
I know you have come here to destroy me.
No, Simon. I want to help you change.
That is what would destroy me. I am what I am just as you are and I do what I do, just as you must.
Does this mean you're going to kill me?
Kill you? I wanna kiss you, because I admire you more than I desire you.
COCyril O'Reilly
We don't choose God. God chooses us.
All bullshit aside, I want God to pick me.
We are, all of us, bad men. That's what we have in common.
See, we are all of us bad men, even you. I know you have come to destroy me.
Simon, I don't want to destroy you. I want to help you change.
That is what would destroy me.
All right, listen up, everybody. I'm ba-ack.

Journalists are supposed to be impartial. They're supposed to keep their personal opinions to themselves. However, on TV, we know what the reporter is feeling. We see Sam Donaldson or Andrea Mitchell giving us the facts, but with the camera that close up we can also tell by a raised eyebrow or a tiny inflection what they really think about the person they're reporting on. Now, Walter Cronkite, he had the poker face. Nobody ever knew what ol' Walt was thinking. So while he was telling the truth, he was also lying to the camera. That's genius!
LLLisa Logan
I'm what we call a segment producer. Each of our shows is divided into four ten-minute stories, anchored by a different newsman. I work for Jack Eldridge.
Ah, I like Eldridge. He's a ball-buster. That piece you did on heating oil? You really tagged that corporate clown. Have a seat.
LLLisa Logan
We want to do a three-part series on Oswald. You know, "inside one of America's toughest prisons."
No.
LLLisa Logan
No?
Like I said, I saw what he did to that guy, and I don't want to be that guy.
LLLisa Logan
What have you got to hide?
Nothing. But in the four years since we had the riot, life around here has been rough. Attitudes are just starting to settle down. You bring in a tv camera, you're going to stir the situation up.
LLLisa Logan
Well, I've spoken to the Commissioner, and he's agreed.
I'll call the Governor.
LLLisa Logan
He also agreed.
Well, if you already had permission, if you already knew it was a done deal, why'd you even ask me?
LLLisa Logan
To get your honest reaction.
AJArnold "Poet" Jackson
Hypocrisy. Hip-o-crisy. That's what this is. You see, they strip me of my clothes, they strip me of my rights, they strip me of my self-respect. All 'cause they say I broke the rules, traffickin' in illegals. But they, they more guilty than I could ever be. Fuckin' uppity-ups. They the ones that let Adebisi sing and snort and suck. And when the blood run out, when his blood got split, the truth ran out, and a wall of lies got built. After Said greased him, fucking hacks acted like he ain't never even breathed in. And then the lies got buried with his number.
Ryan tells me to take my medicine, but I don't sometimes. Like today.
JEJack Eldridge
What about, uh, before the accident? Do you remember anything about that?
There are flashes, once in a while. Like, now. I see you, and I think maybe I know you.
JEJack Eldridge
We've met, years ago, when you were fifteen. You and your brother and I, we talked about your lives in the gang.
You make Mama sad. You made Mama cry. You gave my Mama cancer. [Cyril punches Eldridge]
LLLisa Logan
Oh, shit!
Central, this is 11, we've got a 66.
Ryan said at the grave that you gave my mother cancer. [he continues to pummel Eldridge]
[screaming] Cyril! Cyril! [The SORT team arrives.]
You gave my mama cancer!
Cyril! Cyril! Cyril! [Cyril is carried away by the SORT team.]
You gave my mama cancer!
Cyril! Cyril! Cyril!
Mama! Mama!
Cyril!
Ryan!
LLLisa Logan
[runs into pod] Jack, Jack, Jack! Oh, Jack!
JEJack Eldridge
Lisa, did you -
LLLisa Logan
What? Did I what?
JEJack Eldridge
Get it all on tape?
S4 E10Conversions
Any questions?
Uh, yes, Mr. McManus, sir! Just how big is your penis?
I don't like you.
Oh, you don't like me?
Yeah, I don't know if it's your hair, the way you look, the way you smell. It's just something about you rubs me the wrong way!
Oh yeah? Fuck you, nigger.
