"I'll have you know I buy the finest cuts of beef." "The guards are sadistic and cruel." "I can't help the way I am." "When I was a boy, I saw my father murdered before my eyes." "By me." "Governor, I think the only fair solution is to pardon all these thugs and murderers." "Well, since there's no room in the prisons you came from," "I'm releasing you all to a garbage barge, where you will bare-knuckle-box till one of you emerges as king of your floating hell." "You know what I missed in the joint?" "Just lying here watching you sleeping sweetly." "Sleeping sweetly." "I won't tell if you don't tell." "Listen to me!" "This whole building is unsafe."
