Episode Quotes

Augustus Hill: Now, you'd think a doctor or two would be on the top of the list of the greatest person of the millennium. I mean, doctors do research, discover diseases. But no one's gonna see Dr. Epstein-Barr, Dr. Norman-Barre, Dr. Down, and Dr. Alzheimer on any list. 'Cause for all their hard work, hearing their names fills us with dread. Their names make us sick.

Simon Adebisi: Holy shit. It's little Nino. You know, you look just like your father, only you so pretty.
Peter Schibetta: Trying to tell me something?
Simon Adebisi: Yeah, I miss your father.

Warden Leo Glynn: [Glynn and the COs have found an inmate Alexander Vogel in the gymnasium murdered with the word "JEW" carved into his chest] So you don't know anything about Alexander Vogel's murder? If the Aryan Brotherhood's not involved, why was "Jew" carved on his chest?
Vernon 'Vern' Schillinger: Maybe some gang is trying to lay the blame on us. We're not the only ones that hate Jews, you know, [In a Black Voice] I mean, your people do too.
Warden Leo Glynn: You're involved in this, Schillinger, I know you are.
Vernon 'Vern' Schillinger: Yeah, well, if that's true, prove it.
Warden Leo Glynn: I will. Take him to his cell.
Vernon 'Vern' Schillinger: [singing] Wish I was in the land of cotton, old times there are not forgotten...
