Officer Karl Metzger : What's the word on Busmalis?
Tim McManus : Do you really care?

Officer Karl Metzger : I did not use excessive force.
Tim McManus : The man almost died.
Officer Karl Metzger : But he didn't.
Tim McManus : Yeah, 'cause you knew when to let go. What's the motto? "Choke 'em 'til you smell shit"?... Nice tattoo.
Officer Karl Metzger : Souvenir of a misspent youth.
Tim McManus : Metzger, I know who you are; I know *what* you are.
Officer Karl Metzger : All I am is a highly-trained, underpaid member of the Correctional Officer's Benevolent Association. But if I am what you think I am, you should tip-toe.
Tim McManus : Is that a threat?
Officer Karl Metzger : I'm merely reminding you who your friends are. Remember who you want standing next to you when one of these fucks comes after you with a knife.

Tim McManus : [McManus discovers that a CO Karl Metzger is a member of the Aryan Brotherhood] So before Metzger came to town, he lived in Montana where he was part of the White Supremacy Warriors.
Sister Peter Marie Reimondo : You sure of this, Tim?
Tim McManus : I got a friend who works in the FBI who verified it.
Warden Leo Glynn : Even so, you can't fire a man for what he did 15 years ago. I need proof that he's in cahoots with Vern Schillinger, that he's responsible for what happened to Busmalis, Beecher, and the others.
Tim McManus : Nobody will testify against Metzger.
Warden Leo Glynn : Well, the union's not gonna let us do anything without evidence. He's also very popular with the other CO's. I don't need any more morale problems.
Tim McManus : So we let him stay on board till maybe he kills somebody?
Warden Leo Glynn : I'm afraid, we have no choice.
Tim McManus : Even though he only thinks of you as a Nigger?
Warden Leo Glynn : What did you say?
Tim McManus : A Nigger.
Warden Leo Glynn : If you're trying to piss me off, you're succeeding. I don't want Metzger in this building one minute longer than you do. But if I'm going to take him down, I'm gonna need ammunition.
