View Quote "It's not difficult to surmise Nathan's feelings towards killing these guards; and my own proclivities are, uh, well-known and often-lamented facts of penal lore, but what I'm wondering is why you have any say in it at all?"

View Quote "Define 'irony': a bunch of idiots dancing around on a plane, to a song made famous by a band that died in a plane crash." [referring to Lynyrd Skynyrd ]

View Quote Vince Larkin: We pick up Mr. Sendino in Carson City. From then until the plane lands in Alabama, we've got two hours to get him to talk. We got you a seat right next to him. He's known to be somewhat garrulous in the company of thieves.
Duncan Malloy: "Garrulous"? What the **** is "garrulous"?
Larkin: That would be loquacious, verbose, effusive... how about chatty?
Malloy: (snorts) What's with dictionary boy, here?
Larkin: Thesaurus boy, I think, is more appropriate.

View Quote "'The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by observing its prisoners.' Dostoevsky said that, after doing a little time."

View Quote Diamond Dog: Yee-ha! What's on your mind, hillbilly?
Cameron Poe: Now, let's see, what was I thinking? Oh, yeah — "Yee-ha," that's right. I was just wondering what a black militant - that would be you - is doin' taking orders from a white boy on a power trip? Now don't you think that's strange?
Diamond Dog: A means to an end my white friend, a means to an end. See, I can play house **** till we get to where we're going... and then, the day of the Dog begins...shh.

View Quote "If this thing goes bad, Larkin, I'm afraid my daughter won't understand. If you talk to my wife again, you tell her I love her... she's my hummingbird. I just couldn't leave a fallen man behind."

View Quote Billy Bedlam: I thought I heard you say you was on north block.
Poe: That's right.
Billy Bedlam: Funny thing. I was on north block. I don't know you.
Poe: Now what do you think that means? Nothing. Not diddly-shit. See, there were 160 cats on north block, and I didn't want to know 159 of them. Which included you! What do you think about that?

View Quote "Well, Baby O, it's not exactly mai-tais and Yahtzee out here — but let's do it."

View Quote "He's a font of misplaced rage. Name your cliche: Mother held him too much or not enough, last picked at kickball, late-night sneaky uncle, whatever. Now he's so angry, moments of levity actually cause him pain... give him headaches. Happiness, for that gentleman, hurts."

View Quote (singing) "Oh, nothing makes me sadder than the agent lost his bladder in the... Ai-ai-airplane..."

View Quote Cyrus the Virus: Thanks Poe. You've proven to be a most useful mammal.
Cameron Poe: "Many hands make light work." My daddy taught me that.
Cyrus: You know what my daddy taught me?
Poe: What's that?
Cyrus: Nothin'.
Poe: Self educated man.

View Quote "Now why couldn't you put the bunny back in the box?"

View Quote " You know, the next time you choose a human shield, you're better off not picking a two-bit n***o crack-head."

View Quote "Before I kill you, Poe, I just want you to know that the last thing that little Casey Poe ever gets to smell will be my stinking breath."

View Quote "All right, you damn peckerwoods! Crack the knuckles and hit the crystals. We're about to put this baby down in a sandbox!" ~ Swamp Thing
