Oz Season 4a
So these are the things I loved from Oz Season 4a - all quotes are from Fontana, working solo for the season (and doing a bang up job)
For me the whole season is really about the relationship between Adebisi and Said, so I'm going to start with their quotes -
You and me we have different ways, different reasons for what we do, but our goal is the same, survival of our people - Adebisi (The Bill of Wrongs)
The earth is about to quake. I came to warn you. Take shelter. - Adebisi (Gray Matter)
Once again you honor me with your offer of protection - Said
And once again you refuse? - Adebisi
Regretfully - Said
You can ask a girl out on a date so many times and get refused. - Adebisi (Gray Matter)
We have all the power and all the control. Finally. - Adebisi (A Town Without Pity)
Simon, it's just an illusion. Real power can only come form the grace of God the almighty - Said
If I wanted to, I could crush you like a cockroach. - Adebisi
Yes, but you won't because I'm the only one who speaks the truth to you. - Said
Your truth. Not mine. - Adebisi (A Town Without Pity)
I want to join you, serve you in whatever way you choose - Said (A Town Without Pity)
I've waited for this moment. Now I can raise you as my equal. Together there's nothing we can't do. - Adebisi (A Town Without Pity)
Adebisi and Said hand in hand - Keller
It's the end of the fucking universe - Ryan O'Reily
Simon, the both of us have been on an extraordinary journey. - Said (You Bet Your Life)
I don't wanna destroy you. I want to help you change. - Said
That is what would destroy me. See - I am what I am just as you are & I do what I do just as you must. - Adebisi
Does that mean you're gonna kill me? - Said
Kill you? I want to kiss you but because I admire you more than I desire you - no. - Adebisi (You Bet Your Life)
Like you said, between the pair of us we can do great things for our people - Said
But for what? We're still in Oz. - Adebisi (You Bet Your Life)
This is how I'm gonna die - Adebisi (You Bet Your Life)
There are also some nice images from this season -
1) Nekkid Ryan O'Reily (A Word to the Wise)
2) Gloria's leaping over furniture to get at O'Reily (Works of Mercy)
3) Adebisi tilting Said's kofi as a symbol of allegiance (A Town Without Pity)
4) Robson & Keller's reactions when Zabitz drops dead (A Town Without Pity)
5) The blood stain growing on the white curtains (You Bet Your Life)
A lot of people don't see the comedy in Oz, but here are a few illustrations -
She's getting married? To a bobby? - McManus
No, no, not a bobby, Tim. He's a guard. He guards the Queen. - Sr. Peter Marie
Yeah, well then I can see how they've got a lot in fucking common-McManus (with great delivery - A Cock & Balls Story)
So... you like Def Leppard? - Zabitz to Beecher (Works of Mercy)
How do you keep that thing on your head - Querns (Works of Mercy)
Rubber ducky. What is rubber ducky? - Stanislafsky
Product of capitalist imperialism. - Hill (Works of Mercy)
What the fuck you doing with a cigarette, Pancamo? - Howell
Smoking it. - Pancamo (A Word to the Wise)
Now her, I'm afraid of. - Pancamo (A Word to the Wise)
Let me think it over-yes. - McManus (You Bet Your Life)
Eight episodes and I'm actually cutting these down a lot from the original list. One more group and that's it for today. These are the quotes that pretty well define the season.
Oz didn't make you a bitch. You were born one. - Keller to Beecher (A Cock & Balls Story)
Keep one priciple in mind. Don't fuck with Querns. - Martin Querns (Works of Mercy)
When he was fucking you, did you think of me? - Ryan O'Reily (Works of Mercy)
THE WORST LINE OF THE SEASON, POSSIBLY EVER - DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU - You know how I said that I always get someone to kill for me. - Ryan O'Reily (considering he said it less than 20 seconds ago, I would hope so. That sort of redundancy is beyond silly and the fact that I have to sit through it before getting to nekkid Ryan pains me)
My relationship with Beecher started with brutality and that's where it's ending. Love was the smallest part. - Keller (A Town Without Pity)
Honestly, in retrospect, I am beginning to think that Season 3 outperforms Season 4a, but if it does, it's not by much. The Omar White marathon starts tomorrow - God help us. There probably won't be nearly as many quotes as in this one.
