Garland Greene: [talking about Billy Bedlam to Poe and Baby-O] He's a font of misplaced rage. Name your cliché; mother held him too much or not enough, last picked at kickball, late night sneaky uncle, whatever. Now he's so angry moments of levity actually cause him pain; gives him headaches. Happiness, for that gentleman, hurts.

Garland Greene: Two went down, one came up.
Cameron Poe: Wasn't my fault.

than desire. But the great ones, Dahmer, Gacy, Bundy... they did it because it excited them.
Cameron Poe: [angrily] Don't you... I got nothing in common with them, with you. Don't you talk to me! They were insane.
Garland Greene: Now you're talking semantics. What if I told you insane was working fifty hours a week in some office for fifty years...

at the end of which they tell you to piss off? Ending up in some retirement village... hoping to die before suffering the indignity of trying to make it to the toilet on time. Wouldn't you consider that to be insane?
Cameron Poe: Murdering thirty people, semantics or not, is insane!
Garland Greene: [smiles] One girl... I drove through three states

wearing her head as a hat.
Cameron Poe: It's my daughter's birthday today. So please feel free not to share everything with me.

Nothing.

Nathan 'Diamond Dog' Jones: [intentionally antagonizing him] Yee-haw! What's on your mind, Hillbilly?
Cameron Poe: What was I thinking about? Oh, yeah, "yee-haw", that's right. I was just wondering what a black militant - that would be you - was doin' takin' orders from a white boy on a power trip? Don't you think that's strange?
Nathan

'Diamond Dog' Jones: It's a means to an end, my white friend. A means to an end. See, I's can play house nigger tills we get to where we're goin'. And then, the Day of the Dog begins.

Duncan Malloy: Garrulous? What the fuck is garrulous?

Vince Larkin: That would be loquacious, verbose, effusive. How about chatty?
Duncan Malloy: [to Devers] What's with Dictionary Boy?
Vince Larkin: "Thesaurus Boy" I think is more appropriate.

Man on P.A.: Foxtrot Charlie, perimeter is secure. You are clear to release.
Vince Larkin: His name is Cyrus Grissom, A.K.A. Cyrus the Virus. Thirty-nine years old, twenty-five of them spent in our institutions. But he's bettered himself

inside. Earned two degrees, including his juris doctorate. He also killed eleven fellow inmates, incited three riots, and escaped twice. Likes to brag that he killed more men than cancer.
Guard Falzon: Okay, open wide. Lift your tongue.
Vince Larkin: Cyrus is a poster child for the criminally insane. He's a true product of the system.

Duncan Malloy: What's that supposed to mean?
[to Sims]
Duncan Malloy: What is he, one of these sociology majors who thinks we're responsible for breeding these animals?
Vince Larkin: No, but I can point a few fingers if it would make you feel comfortable.
