Oz Season 3 quotes

Kareem Said

I am black, I am a Muslim, and I am a man. And sometimes those three things, they war with each other.

Sean Murphy

Gentlemen, this room here is the, uh, computer room. Call me crazy, but I think when I see people in this room, they should be using computers. But you three aren't, which leads me to guess, you know, 'cause I'm such a bright fella, that you're here for a different reason. Now forgive me for being distrustful, that probably means you're up to no good. That's right, take a hike. Let's go. You too, Simon.

Simon Adebisi

I am using the computer.

Sean Murphy

Ah. Well, can I give you one little small suggestion? Turn it on.

Officer Clayton Hughes

You understanding me?

Yes.

Officer Clayton Hughes

Well then fucking blink or something.

Busmalis

(regarding Kosygin) I tried talking to him at dinner, and he just stared at me, frozen like the tundra. He scares the living shit out of me.

Andrew

My whole life, crammed into my head, how superior we white folks are. I don't see the truth in that. I look around this room, and all I see are white faces, black faces, every color in between, and the only thing I know for sure is that we are all shit. Shit don't come in degrees. White or black, shit is shit. So fuck everything you believe, fuck everything you stand for, and fuck you!

Schillinger

(slaps Andrew) Don't you talk to me like that!

Andrew

Old man, you hit me way too many times growing up! (attacks Schillinger)

Ryan O'Reily

Let me get this straight. You aim for the doctor, but you got the son instead.

No, I aimed for the son.

Ryan O'Reily

You took out the kid on purpose?

Yeah. Now that doctor knows how I feel. He killed my baby, I killed his.

Cyril O'Reily

What are you gonna say to him when you see him?

Who?

Cyril O'Reily

The doctor's son up in Heaven. I already know what I'm gonna say to Dr. Nathan's husband if they let me in.

[to Alvarez, who has blinded him] I hate you, Alvarez you fucking motherfucker. 'Cause of you I gotta carry around all this shit in the dark. If it wasn't for Tina, I would have killed myself already. Sometimes I think I should kill myself for her sake so she could start a new life without me. Some days, Alvarez, I wish you would have killed me instead of doing this. I can't cry anymore. Did you know that? You made it so I can't cry.

Nikolai Stanislofsky

Kosygin is no pal of mine. I'm a Jew. He's Cossack. In my community, he's feared for his savagery. You Sicilians think you're so tough. He would cut out your heart, eat it, and not think twice.

Those are not the kind of men you should be hanging out with.

As opposed to who? Those standup individuals that make up your merry little band? I gotta tell you something. My whole life, you crammed into my head how superior we white folks are. I don't see the truth in that. I look around this room and I see white faces and black faces, every color in between and the only thing that I know for sure is that we're all shit. You know, shit don't come in degrees. White or black, shit is shit. So fuck everything you believe in, fuck everything you stand for, and fuck you.

Don't you dare talk to me like that!

Man, you hit me way too many times growing up!

At last count, I had murdered at least 49 men. You have the honor of being my 50th.

Beecher

I was raised Episcopalian, which means we thought about God an hour once a week. But you, you think about Him all the time.

Said

Yes.

Beecher

Why?

Said

I want to know Him.

Beecher

Me too. I want to know God, and I want Him to know me. I want Him to know that I'm still here. That I'm still stuck in this place.

Said

He knows.

Keller

You see,I am a piece of Shit.Worthless.As bad as They come.So to have someone love Me not matter how bad...There.You happy now I spilled My guts all over Your table?

Word on the street is, you're the most ruthless hitman in Little Odessa. That's gotta mean a lot because you Russian mafia guys are a bunch of crazy fucked-up mother fuckers so I got a job done and I need it done fast. (begins to drop money in his other hand, one bill at a time) Just tell me when to stop.

What's your name again?

Nat.

What's that? Short for Nathaniel?

(revealing he is a cross-dresser) Short for Natalie.

Unlike you, in Russia I was not a criminal. I was an educator. After the Soviets fell, things got so bleak in Moscow I decided to leave, to come to America.

Nikolai Stanislofsky

For a better life, right?

Yes, for me and my wife. But we did not find a better life. I couldn't get employed teaching.

Nikolai Stanislofsky

Must have been terrible.

Then I got this job painting a house, the house of Leonid Rodzinsky.

Nikolai Stanislofsky

He was in the Organizatsya.

Yes. He treated me like shit, always making fun. Calling me "professor" and ordering me to clean his toilets. One day, he kicked me with his boot in front of my wife. I strangled him on the spot.

Nikolai Stanislofsky

It's closing time?

Yes.

Nikolai Stanislofsky

All right, I'll go.

Not till I finish my story.

Nikolai Stanislofsky

Strange. All this time, you've barely said two words. Now you're a regular bottum.

It takes me time to warm up to people. I feel very close to you. I was possessed by guilt for killing Rodzinsky but I got a reputation for being ruthless. The Organizatsya hired me to exterminate someone else. The second time was easy.

Nikolai Stanislofsky

Yuri, please. I don't want to hear this.

The third time, no problem at all.

Nikolai Stanislofsky

Yuri, please.

At last count, I murdered at least 49 people. You have the honor of being my 50th.
