This filthy, roach-ridden reality is inspiring... What did that second policeman say to you when he grabbed you by the throat?

Harry Monroe

Man, I don't **** believe you!

Skip Donahue

"Man, I don't **** believe you!" Fabulous!

Harry Monroe

You don't get it, do you, Skip? You think this is The Count of Monte Cristo or something. We're in deep trouble. This is the real deal. We're in deep shit.

Harry Monroe

Yeah, that's right! That's right! We bad!

Harry Monroe

Yes, I'm a short son of a bitch, my daddy was a short son of a bitch, my mother was shorter than him, and my brother, my brother was so short we couldn't even see him.

Blade

The rodeo clown is the most DANGEROUS job, 'cause he gets CLOSEST to the BULL. He gets the BEST of the BULL! HOOK to the left! HOOK to the right! And if the bull rider's in trouble, he's gotta protect him, even if it means gettin' his ribs pulled out, or bein' freight-trained...

Harry Monroe

Freight-trained?

Blade

Run over, just like a freight train, only with a bull, it's worse, cause a freight train don't BACK UP and FINISH the JOB. Later on, I'll show you how to lie out on the stretcher when the ambulance comes.

Blade

Now every bull has a secret word that makes him crazy, and sends him into his craziest ride, your job is to figure out that word.

Harry Monroe

Bull... uh... let's see. Uh... Rumpelstiltskin. Uh... Malt liquor... Come on, bull. [whistles and makes kissing noises] Come on, bull. Uh... woof, woof! Uh... [makes clicking sound with tongue] Hey, sexy... Hee-hee... shit! [Bull bellows and charges at Harry] [running away from bull] Oh, you mother****er!

Blade

Congratulations, you found the word!

Skip Donahue

What are you doing?

Harry Monroe

I'm gettin' bad. You better get bad, Jack. 'Cause if you ain't bad, you're gonna get ****.

Harry Monroe

125 years... Oh God, Oh God... I'll be 161 when I get out.

Big Mean

What's the charge?

Harry Monroe

Innocent.

Big Mean

Ain't we all?

Harry Monroe

Bank robbery?

Big Mean

Oh, shit.

Harry Monroe

Ooooh, shit!

Big Mean

You can kiss the baby.

Harry Monroe

Kiss the baby?

Skip Donahue
[to Big Mean]

What baby is that, sir?

Big Mean

Ask your lawyer.

Harry Monroe
[whimpering]

Pillow... I want my pillow.

Rory

That's Blade. He runs the third world side of Cell Block 2. My dear, till Grossberger came along he held the axe murder record in the south-west! He's the one I'm gonna get you the cheeseburger from. How do you like it, medium?

Harry Monroe

Oh no, I don't want no cheeseburger, I'm trying to, er, keep my weight down.

Rory

Don't worry about him, I'll protect you. I'll protect you!

Harry Monroe

I'm getting a little podge.

Rory

For some reason, I make him uneasy!

Harry Monroe

I wonder why. Hi. [waves at Blade] I'm going! [calls after Skip] Skip, my friend. [then, to Rory] Excuse me, would you?

Rory

I'll come with you.

Harry Monroe

Awwwww... shit!
