Oz · Season 1
(while signing up for conjecal visits, he hears that wheelchair-bound Hill never knows when he has an erection) You don't know if you're hard?
I got no sensation down there, so I don't know when I'm hard, I don't know when I cum. My wife's gotta tell me.
You don't know if you're hard? You don't know if you've cum? You don't get any pleasure at all? What the fuck are you doing it for?
For her.
And love? Well, if sex is sweet and death is bitter, love is both. Love will always and forever break your heart.
Fuck is a four letter word. Rape is a four letter word. Wife is a four letter word. So is love. Fuck is a curse. So is love.
Come over here and ask me if you can fuck your wife. Come on, ask me! Now!
Can I be with my wife?
Fuck my wife.
Fuck my wife.
Louder, and say "please" and "sir".
Please, sir, may I fuck my wife?
Louder.
Please, sir, may I fuck my wife!
When you ask me like that, I can't deny you anything.
I'm gonna arrange for you to visit your wife in the hospital.
That's very considerate of you. But forgive me, I'm cynical by nature. Why are you being so considerate to me?
It's hard enough her being this ill without you being able to, uh...
Say goodbye? What do you want from me?
Your continued patience.
You're gonna find out who killed Dino?
Yes.
And you're gonna bring him to justice.
Now you're laughing at me.
As I said, I'm a cynical bastard.
Wait, Father, maybe I'm a convert.
You can't become a Catholic just to get out of the hole. Come on.
No, no, wait. I've been reading a lot since I got here about different faiths and yours is pretty nifty.
Catholicism is nifty?
You have that whole mystical transabstentiation bit going.
That's right. The Eucharist becomes the body of Christ.
So you're actually eating his flesh and drinking his blood.
That's right.
Now how can I not get behind a religion like that?
Hey there, sweet pea. How was church? You feeling all sanctified and pure? Get undressed. We're taking a shower.
I already had a shower.
Oh, that's all right. When I'm done with you, you'll need another one.
In the beginning, God was nothingness. So he started making stuff. He made the dirt, he made the sky, he made the water, he made things that swim, things that slither, things with legs. I mean, God turned himself into a big shot. Then, in a couple of days, or a couple of million years, he breathed life into man. And he's been sucking the life out of us ever since.
You are creating a lot of the tension that we're dealing with right here.
How am I doing that?
Well, you ban smoking, you ban conjugals. Bit by bit you're stripping these men of their basic human needs.
This is a prison. These men are criminals. The whole point is to strip them of their basic human needs. If a kneejerk prissy liberal would see that we wouldn't be having the problems we're having today.
The campaign is over, Governor, so get off your soapbox.
McManus, when you look at me, what do you see?
A man.
You've heard of Olympus, right? Mount Olympus, ancient Greece, where the gods lived?
Yeah.
Well, it was a hierarchy, even among the gods. Mercury was lesser than Apollo, Apollo lesser than Zeus. Now, you run your cellblock and you think you're a god. Glynn runs the whole prison, he thinks he's a greater god. Well, guys, I am Zeus. I am omnipotent. I must be obeyed...or my thunderbolts will strike.
One of these Muslim monkeys was trying to tell me that Jesus was a nigger. He even quoted from the Bible trying to back his shit up.
Well, Jesus was from Judea so he was probably of an olive-colored skin.
Look at that picture there. Does that look like a nigger to you?
No.
You're getting awful mouthy, aren't you, prag?
No, sir. I am not, sir.
Yeah, I think I'm gonna have to teach you a lesson. Polish my boots.
Yes, sir.
With your tongue.
God knows he's perfect and we're not and we can never be but he expects us to be. And he punishes us if we're not, you know what I'm saying? God is the ultimate gangster. The supremo boss, you know what I mean? Forgiveness, live by his code. Deadness, if we don't. Yo, he never has to talk to us face to face and he never has to explain exactly why he does what he does. Know what I'm saying? Nigger sits up there in Heaven somewhere, drinking a cappuccino, chilling... [singing] "Got the whole world in his hands." He got the whole world by the balls. In excelsius deo and all that shit.
Clememcy. Thats a fancy word for mercy. The Governor can commute a death sentence. He has the power to pick up the phone and just say No. But to me, the only time the Governor shows clemency is when he don't make that call. Life in prison without parole is a shitload worse than death. Death is parole. Death is mercy
Yo Markstram, man. What if Keane didn't kill Martinez? What if they got the wrong guy?
He did it, Kenny.
Look, I know he did it! I'm just saying, what if he didn't?
All I'm saying, Nino, is you gotta wonder what the guy's doing; what the guy's thinking sitting on Death Row knowing he's gonna die!
The only difference between you and him, Joey, is he knows the exact date he'll die!
The state's gonna let Keane pick his method of execution. Me, I'd pick hanging.
What about lethal injection?
That's for pussies.
They say lethal injection causes no pain. How do they know? Did someone come back from the dead and say they didn't feel anything?
Its rare when You say goodbye to someone that You know its going to be the last Time.You can try and say all those things You should have said before.Or You can hold on and hope that the moment will last a Lifetime
(Last Words) I wanna tell my family that I love them and I believe that this punishes them more than it does me. I am so sorry for the three murders I did and I wish that, by killing me today, you could bring them back. My time in this world has been far too short. Too short to get it all done right. So I am ready to move on. All praise to Allah. All praise.
