Paul Thomas: The Warden

Quotes 

• The Warden : You've gotta be very careful in what you say and you've gotta be very careful in what you do. Gotta play the game, honey. You know the game, don't you? Well, you see, I am the rules. I decide who comes, and I decide who leaves. I decide *when* they come, and I decide when they leave.

  Joanne MacIntyre : What about the parole board? My parole's up in six months.

  The Warden : I am the parole board, dear. Of course I can be a very lenient parole board or I can be a very difficult one. It all depends on how you play the game. Now, if you see any subversive activities of any kind, any goings on around the jail that might make you suspicious, I want you to tell your warden, I want you to tell me, right away. Okay?

  Joanne MacIntyre : You want me to *rat* on them?

  The Warden : Exactly. You're shy aren't you? You'll learn fast, number 5-7-3-9-2-1-3. There's one rule... that everybody must play by. I'm going to fuck you. It may be today, or it may be tomorrow, but I *am* going to fuck you. And when you learn to play the game, then maybe you can leave.

  The Warden : Welcome aboard.
