- Kareem Said: I understand you have some information regarding the governor, James Devlin? Information of a damaging nature.
- #98W504 Jiggy Walker: Damaging? Depends on how you view crack.
- Lenny Burrano: Peter, the family is embarrassed.
- Peter Schibetta: They got no reason to be embarrassed.
- Lenny Burrano: They're not happy with the way that you're running things in here.
- Peter Schibetta: They blame me for getting poisoned?
- Lenny Burrano: Your father got fed ground glass over the course of months. Now, whoever did that, probably Adebisi, took the time because they knew that Nino was watching. Nino was smart.
- Peter Schibetta: And so because I got one quick shot of poison instead of ground glass, I'm not as good as Pop, right?
- Lenny Burrano: This is what they say. The family.
- Peter Schibetta: Christ. You tell 'em I'm gonna handle Adebisi. I'm gonna get my honor back by the end of the day. Either that fucking moolie or me is gonna be in a bodybag.
- Officer Diane Whittlesey: Raoul Hernandez, Miguel Alvarez.
- Miguel Alvarez: El Cid, it's an honor, man.
- Raoul 'El Cid' Hernandez: You Latino?
- Miguel Alvarez: Si.
- Raoul 'El Cid' Hernandez: They lied to you. You too fucking white to be a Latino. Get the fuck outta my face.
- #98W504 Jiggy Walker: Man, my first prison stay was over at Lardner. Eighteen years, I was seventeen. My family came to visit me regular and LaTanya, my fiancee, and my friends. They all came the first year. Then LaTanya married Beau, so she stopped coming, stopped showing up. Then Rodney didn't come no more, then my cousin Scat, my sister, my dad, he died. Year five, it was just me and my mama. Then they put her in an old folks' home. Six years in, I had no visiting days. I had no one come to see if I was still breathing. So I said, hey, get on TV, become a superstar, maybe they'd come for longer. Maybe they wouldn't forget about me. Fight the power, baby. Little hostile.
- Warden Leo Glynn: Said is representing Vern Schillinger?
- Tim McManus: Didn't Nostradamus predict this? Doesn't this mean we're two steps closer to the end of the fucking world?
- Augustus Hill: Billy Shakespeare, in his last will and testament, left his wife, Anne Hathaway, his quote, "second best bed." Now, Shakespeare had abandoned Anne and the kids years before and had only come back home to Stratford when his bones started to creak. Was the second best bed a joke between a husband and wife, or was it Shakespeare's ultimate fuck you?
- Agamemnon Busmalis: I treat every hole I dig like a lady. A very special lady. I never married, you know. I could never find a real woman who could satisfy me the way she does.
- Governor James Devlin: [after tossing a pack of cigarettes at Glynn] Give these to Jiggy Walker. I owe him.
- Dr. Gloria Nathan: I became a doctor to help people. Now, I know that that sounds like a cliche, it sounds naive, but it's true. I could have a fancy practice anywhere, but instead I chose to work in Oz. I saved your life, O'Reily. And in return, you destroyed mine.
- Ryan O'Reily: McManus, you gotta see that I love her, man.
- Tim McManus: Love? What the fuck do you know about love?
- Ryan O'Reily: Well, what do you know, huh? What do any of us?
- Tim McManus: I know it's not a reason to commit murder.
- Ryan O'Reily: Yeah, well then, maybe you've never really been in love.
- [last lines]
- Augustus Hill: At the end of the day, a bed is the best friend you got. Sure, the mattress may be lumpy, the springs may have sprung, the bed itself may be in some seedy motel or in Oz. The bed beckons you. It comforts, cradles 'til you sleep. If you're lucky enough to have the right person lying next to you, shit, there ain't no reason you got to get out of that bed come morning. Goodnight, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite.
- Augustus Hill: "You made your bed, now lie in it." Can anybody tell me what the fuck that means? You don't go through the trouble of making your bed, smoothing out the sheets, fluffing up the pillows just to ruin it all by lying down. The phrase should be, "You laid in your bed, now make it." The point being, you've got to be responsible for your actions. Responsible.
