" Will our insurance cover it?" " No." "And the claims adjustor insists O'Reily have a lumpectomy." "That's where they remove the tumour but not the breast, right?" " Right." " Now, if we can spare the breast and save some money, why do a mastectomy?" "Well, lumpectomies aren't always effective." "They most often have to be followed up with radiation or chemo." "So then the prison is footing the bill for this whole wingding?" " Yeah." " How much is that?" "The surgeon, staff and equipment..." "In all, $1 8,000." "And a lumpectomy costs what?" "About half that." "Well, give him the lumpectomy." "A patient should be able to choose his own medical procedure." " Don't you think?" " No, not at these prices." "Not if he's a con." "Look, Ryan O'Reily's going through enough shit dealing with being a man and having breast cancer." "I mean, his survival depends as much on a positive outlook as it does on the surgery." " Agreed."

"I hear you used to run the Aryan Brotherhood." "Yeah." "And you let Beecher shit in your face?" "The Brotherhood's falling apart." "When I ran the Brotherhood, we were feared." "Now even the fucking fags look tougher." "But listen, you and me, Mark, we can take things back to the way they were." "We can rule Oz." " Where do we start?" " We need a roadkill." "Show everybody we're back in the game." "So who gets whacked first?" "The meanest motherfucking mutt we can find." "Prisoner number 98V238, Alexander Vogel." "Convicted June 1 st, '98." "Two counts, murder in the second degree, theft." "Sentence: 50 years." "Up for parole in 30." "So you don't know anything about Alexander Vogel's murder?" "Well, if the Aryan Brotherhood's not involved, why was "Jew" carved on his chest?" "Maybe some gang is trying to lay the blame on us." "We're not the only ones that hate Jews, you know?" "I mean, your people do too." "You're involved in this, Schillinger." "I know you are." "Yeah?" "Well, if that's true, prove it." "I will." "Take him to his cell." "Wish I was in the land of cotton Old times there are not forgotten" "Hey, nice job on Vogel." "Nice." "Every inmate knows we did it." "That's what matters." " So, what happens next?" " Next, we take care of him." "We kill Beecher?" "Yeah." "But first, we make him suffer." "Suffer long and hard." "Maybe the greatest man of the millennium was a woman." "Princess Di, Mother Teresa, Catherine the Great." "Madame Curie, Marilyn Monroe." "Say what you want about her, yo." "She made her little slice of the millennium a shitload more interesting." "Shirley Bellinger, who was convicted for the murder of her 4-year-old daughter, was sentenced to death today." "The first woman in this state to be executed since 1 84 1." "She will receive a lethal injection next month at Oswald State Penitentiary." "Bellinger's lawyer has already filed an appeal in federal court and will hold a press conference tomorrow." "Speaking from the capital," "Governor Devlin said he supports the sentence and would not consider a stay of execution if petitioned." "How comfy." "Yo, imagine being remembered for a thousand years." "The things you did when you was alive reaching across time and touching the lives of people not yet born." "That's some dream." "Yeah, that's why people write books, start religions, find cures, run for president." "But me?" "I don't wanna be a great man." "I don't care if I'm remembered for the next thousand years." "All I ask is if we pass on the street, notice me."
