Quotes 

• Uncle Nikolai : This is my advice to you: When you get there, figure it out who's who. Find the man nobody's protecting. A man without friends. And beat him until his eyes bleed. Let them think you are little bit crazy, but respectful, too. Respectful of the right men.

• Uncle Nikolai : I have been in three different prisons, Montgomery. Three different countries. And you know what I learned? I learned prison is a bad place to be.

• Uncle Nikolai : I tattooed "survive" on my hand the night before I went away to prison. And I did. We do what we have to do to survive.
