Quotes 

• Tobias Beecher : I shat all over a man. That's not normal.

• Tim McManus : Schillinger's back in Emerald City. He says he won't harm you. Tell me you won't harm him.

  Tobias Beecher : He burnt a swastika into my flesh. He made me rip up pictures of my family. He made me eat the pages of a law book. He made me wear women's makeup. And, he fucked me up the ass.

  Tim McManus : I know.

  Tobias Beecher : So now I just forgive him?

  Tim McManus : Yes.

  Tobias Beecher : Could you?

  Tim McManus : Yes.

  Tobias Beecher : All right. I forgive him.

• Tobias Beecher : Hello! If you don't mind, I gotta take a shit.

  Vern Schillinger : Beecher, listen...

  Tobias Beecher : Hey! You know, I'm standing in here thinking about all the good times we had, you and me.

  Vern Schillinger : I don't want to fight.

  Tobias Beecher : Oh, no. Of course not. You get into a fight, you fuck up your parole. And I hear for the next three months, you're gonna be a good little boy, so you can get outta Oz, see your two sons. You know, I think that's great. But, you know what I'm wondering? What if Vern doesn't get out? What if, as he comes up for parole, he gets into a brawl, a knock-down, drag-out with his old roomie? What if every time he comes up for parole, Vern gets into some ugly incident and has to serve his entire sentence? And his two sons, they become monsters. That's what I'm wondering about. Prag.

• Tobias 'Toby' Beecher : [as Schillinger walks by]  HEY! It's your move, ASSWIPE!

  Officer Diane Whittlesey : Beecher! Watch it! You're going to have the fastest turnaround time in the history of the hole.

  Simon Adebisi : [as Schillinger walks by]  Asswipe.

• Simon Adebisi : [apprehended, crazed from drug withdrawal]  I'm dying, brother.

  Tobias Beecher : You shouldn't have stolen my fucking watch!

  [slaps him on the forehead] 

  Simon Adebisi : Hey, bro, don't be like that!
