Quotes 

• Colleen Powell : Miss Ferguson, seeing as it's her first night here I want you to keep an eye on Tracy Belman. She's not proving very popular with the other women.

  Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson : Of course not. She's different. You've got to be popular to get on in Wentworth.

  Colleen Powell : [approaching Joan, who is seated]  Well in that case she's not the only one in trouble.

  Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson : [looks up at her]  Meaning?

  Colleen Powell : I don't appreciate having my private life aired to Mrs Reynolds.

  Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson : Oh, so that's it. Mrs Powell, anything I said to the governor about you was to do with your professional life, and if you insist on mixing the two then I'm afraid you have to cop the consequences.

  Meg Morris : Well, there was no need to inform on a fellow officer.

  Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson : [getting up]  Oh I am sorry. I keep forgetting how close we all are.

  [she exits the staff room] 

  Colleen Powell : [to Meg]  Oh I'd like to remind the bitch - with a sledge hammer.

  Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson : [maniacally]  Listen to her! Listen to her! We've done it! We've done it!
