Judy Bryant : [having had Sonia rush out of her cell in front of her] What's up with you this morning Sonia, you got ghosts in there or something?
Sonia Stevens : No. There's something in my cell; I heard it crawling around all night.
Judy Bryant : Crawling around? What do you think it was, a baby or a snake?
[the other women laugh]
Judy Bryant : You been drinking Hooch have you?
Bobbie Mitchell : Maybe it was a python in a top hat?
[they laugh]
Helen Smart : Could've been a trouser snake?
Bobbie Mitchell : Ah no! No trouser snake would go near her!
Phyllis Hunt : What's going on?
Bobbie Mitchell : Sonia is seeing snakes!
Helen Smart : No no no, you didn't hear it properly, Bobbie; she's *heeearing* them!
[they all laugh]
Phyllis Hunt : Yeah? I didn't know they could talk!
Sonia Stevens : There is something in there! Now why won't you believe me?
Helen Smart : Well that's a silly question if you want my opinion.
Sonia Stevens : You know what I think of your opinion, Smart.
Helen Smart : Yeah, well, it's mutual, darling.

Helen Smart : So what's gonna happen to Driscoll, Jude? I thought Myra was your last hope?
Judy Bryant : Well, I never thought I'd say this, but at the moment I couldn't care less about Driscoll. All I wanna do is see poor Myra and cheer her up a bit; she must be feeling dreadful.
Helen Smart : I never met her old man but I hear he was a proper mongrel.
Judy Bryant : Yeah, he was the pits. She did the world a favour by getting rid of that bastard.
Helen Smart : Well, I don't think they're gonna exactly give her a medal for it.
