All I know is that the move is temporary. We'll be back someday.
S6 E8Exeunt Omnes
I'm so tired. I'm tired of trying. I'm tired of the walls. The lies. The fear. The death. I'm so tired.
If it weren't for me, you'd be in the morgue, instead of Schillinger.
Maybe.
Yeah.
But if you think I got any satisfaction out of killing him, you're wrong. You don't know me at all.
I don't know you? I know you're free of that Nazi fuck!
No, I'm not. No more free than I am of his two sons, or Metzger or Cathy Rockwell. Chris, after six years in this place I'm not sure about anything anymore. Heaven, justice, truth. The only thing I believe in is life. Every life is precious. Not just yours or mine, but every single person on the planet who's breathing, their lives are precious. And the loss of a single life, even in Oz, is my loss, too.
Well, that's bullshit. The only thing that matters is you and me.
I don't expect you to understand. You kill for sport.
I don't understand? I'm not the one who got here by accident, pal. I kill because I have to. I kill what stands in my way like the Aryans.
What? What about the Aryans?
That they're no threat to us anymore. I took care of that.
How? How'd you take care of it?
Never mind, kiss me.
Wait. Answer me this first, okay?
Hmm?
I want you to be honest, okay? Did you purposely fuck up my parole?
Toby, I couldn't face the rest of my life living in here without you. Don't you see? I did what I did out of love.
If you really love me, then leave me alone.
I can't.
Listen to me. Listen to me. I loved alcohol. I loved heroin. I had to put them behind me because they were poison. Death. You are death. Let me live.
When God was designing the universe why did he make something so wonderful so fucking painful?
I think he thought we could handle it.
So, what have we learned? What's the lesson for today, for all the never-ending days and restless nights in Oz? That morality is transient? That virtue cannot exist without violence? That to be honest is to be flawed? That the giving and taking of love both debases and elevates us? That God or Allah or Yahweh has answers to questions we dare not even ask? The story is simple. A man lives in prison and dies. How he dies that's easy. The who and the why is the complex part the human part the only part worth knowing. Peace.
