Oz quotes

Omar White

Shit, he called me a drug abuser, man. I ain't no drug abuser, Jack. I mean, truth be told, son, I treat my drugs better than most.

I'm just sick of all this horseshit. I want to concentrate on the birth of my first grandchild. You know, I just want a little taste of happiness.

James Robson

Vern, you're starting to scare me.

Burr Redding

I grew up in the ghetto. Pops died when I was 10. I had to quit school, support my family by doing some of everything, from shining shoes to shooting craps. I went to Vietnam, where they taught me how to kill small children and women. I've been in all kind of penitentiaries from Arizona to Alabama and back. And I say all this not out of pride or shame. I just want to make sure that you grasp that l already grasped how things work around here.

Look, old man, let me tell you something--

Burr Redding

You think old man bothers me? Boy, I done had a whole lot of men tougher than you, you that called me worse didn't make it to old. My age is my honor and my strength.

Shit, you think you can just come up here and take control?

Burr Redding

Some people are born leaders, others are not. A wise man knows his own limitations. You think on that.

Omar White

Hey, Busmalis! I know your secret.

Busmalis

I have a secret?

Omar White

A little secret about dirt, ya dig?

Keller

You know, sometimes I think I killed all those guys 'cause I wanted to kill the part of me I despise.

Augustus Hill

When you take revenge on somebody, you are actually paying them the highest compliment possible. It's like saying, You affected my life to such an extent that I must reciprocate. I must affect your life as deeply as you have mine. Revenge may be the ultimate Hallmark card. Yeah. When you think of it like that, the cliche is true: Revenge is sweet.

Leo Glynn

Alvarez, you are in this shit hole because you are the lowest form of animal life. Do you understand me?

Murphy

If you're so afraid of the work, LoPresti, go back to selling used cars.

McManus

You see?

Don't be an asshole.

If I get old and wrinkled, will you still love me?

(on the medical testing) Other than the lice, I feel great. Thinking maybe I'm one of the five that got the placebo. (Slumps over and dies)

Keller

I'm telling you Supreme Allah knows we whacked Shemin and Browne and we pinned the murders on him.

How could he? I didn't tell him, you didn't tell him.

Keller

Hey, maybe he figured it out. Both of them were guys Beecher fucked.

So maybe he thinks that you did it, but not me.

Keller

What, are you looking to hang me out to dry, there, O'Reily?

No. Look, maybe I can go see Allah, figure out what he really knows. You can trust me, K-boy.

Keller

I got no other choice.

Oz minus Keller and O'Reily equals justice.

Keller

I'll see you.

Beecher

When?

Keller

Back here. Or in heaven.

Keller

Ah, you and me together. God doesn't have the balls to keep us out.

You said you wanted God to choose you but you thought it was too late? It's never too late. God finally did choose you, Chris. And He chose wisely.
