• Minister : What crime did you commit?

  Alex : The accidental killing of a person, sir.

  Chief Guard Barnes : He brutally murdered a woman, sir, in furtherance of theft. Fourteen years, sir!

  Minister : Excellent. He's enterprising, aggressive, outgoing, young, bold, vicious. He'll do.

  Governor : Well, fine, we could still look at C-block...

  Minister : No, no, no. That's enough. He's perfect. I want his records sent to me. This vicious young hoodlum will be transformed out of all recognition.

  Alex : Thank you very much for this chance, sir.

  Minister : Let's hope you make the most of it, my boy.

  Chief Guard Barnes : Are you now, or have you ever been a homosexual?

  Chief Guard Barnes : Shut your bleeding hole!

• Chief Guard Barnes : Are you able to see the white line painted on the floor directly behind you, Six-Double-Five-Three-Two-One?

  Alex : Yes, sir.

  Chief Guard Barnes : Then your toes belong on the *other* side of it!

• Chief Guard Barnes : Shut your filthy hole, you scum!

• Chief Guard Barnes : [shouting at Alex, who is reading a legal document affecting his prison status]  Don't read it! Sign it!

• Chief Guard Barnes : Pick that up and put it down properly!

• Chief Guard Barnes : If I can offer a word of advice, Doc. You'll have to watch this one. A right brutal bastard he has been, and will be again, in spite of all his sucking up to the Prison Chaplain and reading the Bible.
