Quotes
-
Norman Stanley Fletcher : [Urwin has taken a hostage and says he might go to Mexico] Funny people, Mexicans, y'know, they're very sort of... well, Mexican, I suppose would describe 'em. All the dogs limp there, y'know.
Mrs. Jamieson : I didn't know that.
Norman Stanley Fletcher : Oh, yes, well known. Yeah. It's to do with the food... A man wakes up in the mornin', he thinks about his horrible breakfast, and he kicks the dog, see.
Reg Urwin : Really? Well, I'd always fancied Mexico.
Norman Stanley Fletcher : Oh yeah? Well, contrary to popular travel brochure myth, they're not a happy people, y'know, the Mexicans. I suppose anyone that has tequila as their national drink is bent on self-destruction, e'nt they?

Governor Venables : You're new here, aren't you Keegan?
Reg Urwin : Oh, I'm not new in the prison, sir, I'm just a new trusty. Mr McKay's Christmas box, because I'm getting out soon, like.
Governor Venables : Oh, good, good. Well, see you don't fall back into your old ways.
Reg Urwin : Oh, there's no chance of that, sir. Not since the wife passed away.

Reg Urwin : A few weeks before I came inside.
Governor Venables : Poor woman. What happened?
Reg Urwin : I murdered her.
Governor Venables : [taken aback] Well, see that it doesn't happen again.
