Quotes2

  • Tim McManus: You say you've changed. Why should I believe you?
  • Vern Schillinger: Trust me, McManus, you lose an eye, you get kicked in the balls, you get a face full of shit, you become a different man.
  • 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.
