I love the irony: I've gotten away with all those murders I actually committed and here I am confessing to one I'm innocent of.
S4 E12Cuts Like a Knife
I need to believe in something.Something besides Hate
The worst stab wound is the one to the heart. Sure, most people survive it, but the heart is never quite the same. There's always a scar, which is meant, I guess, to remind you that even for a little while, someone made your heart beat faster. And that's a scar you can live with, proudly, all the days of your life.

You're afraid of losing Kirk to Christ.
He already has Christ.
JCJeremiah Cloutier
That is not Christ. That is show biz on a stick.
Show biz? You, of all people, you have turned faith into a cartoon.
JCJeremiah Cloutier
Be careful, Father. Anger, envy. Those are two of the seven deadly sins.
Yeah, your kid was involved in all kinds of shit. Drug deals and pimping. So there's any number of people who might want him dead.
This is you consoling me?
JCJeremiah Cloutier
Why don't we pray together?
How does the quote go? There is a time to be born, a time to die, a time for every purpose under heaven?
JCJeremiah Cloutier
Yes.
Well, the time for praying is over.
What's your best memory of your son?
The first time he came up unprompted and hugged me and said, "Daddy, I love you."
Beecher, I promise not to hurt your daughter or anybody else in your family. See, I wanna believe that you are innocent of killing Hank. I wanna believe because I need to believe in something. Something besides hate. This grandchild that's coming is my last chance. My last hope. I want this kid to put his arms around my neck and say, "I love you." Because see, I never had that before.
I am sorry about your son.
I'm sorry about yours too.
S4 E13Blizzard Of 01
They say that every snowflake is diffrent. But how can they really be sure? I mean, think of all the snowflakes that have fallen all over the world throughout Earth's history. The Law of Averages dictate that at least two of them had to be similar. Like human beings, like the men in Oz, even if they start out unique, they all end up the same.
I ain't gonna apologize for who I am or what I done, all right? Do I wish things had been diffrent? Sure. Do I wish we'd lived on one of those fancy homes on Kellogg Boulevard? Sure. But I don't hope and I don't dream. I take a shit in this world, I see reality and I make the best of it.
For the first time, I know who I am, my true self, the thing I was born to do. I can change the world.
When I was 10 years old, I wanted a real job.
You wanted a paper route.
Right. But instead, you had me selling smack.
Well, you got to learn the business.
Why? Why did I need to learn how to sell drugs?
Because we didn't have any other options back then. Let me tell you something. I ain't going to apologize for who I am or what I done, all right? Do I wish things had been better? Sure. Do I wish we'd been born in one of them fancy mansions up there on Kellogg Boulevard? Sure. But I don't hope and I don't dream. I take a shit in this world, I see reality and I make the best of it.
You ain't got to tell me about reality. I live in Oz. I live in this chair. And I wouldn't be here if you'd let me have the goddammed motherfucking paper route.
Bachelor parties are one part alcohol, one part strippers. We're in short supply of both.
S4 E14Orpheus Descending
Back in the old Greek times there lived a man named Orpheus. Loved his wife, took it easy on the Ouzo, played a mean guitar. Upstanding guy. So what the almighty gods do? They fucked with him. Made his life Hades. Why? 'Cause that's what those in power do to those of us with none
Love conquers all? Never has, never will.
Basil, you taking Yood's side against mine?
Yeah, why shouldn't I?
'Cause of what he is and what we are.
What you are is a fuckwad.
