Chief Guard
- Minister: What crime did you commit?
- Alex: The accidental killing of a person, sir.
- Chief Guard Barnes: He brutally murdered a woman, sir, in furtherance of theft. Fourteen years, sir!
- Minister: Excellent. He's enterprising, aggressive, outgoing, young, bold, vicious. He'll do.
- Governor: Well, fine, we could still look at C-block...
- Minister: No, no, no. That's enough. He's perfect. I want his records sent to me. This vicious young hoodlum will be transformed out of all recognition.
- Alex: Thank you very much for this chance, sir.
- Minister: Let's hope you make the most of it, my boy.
- Minister: Punishment means nothing to them, you can see that. They enjoy their so-called punishment.
- Alex: You're absolutely right, sir.
- Chief Guard Barnes: Shut your bleeding hole!
- Chief Guard Barnes: Are you able to see the white line painted on the floor directly behind you, Six-Double-Five-Three-Two-One?
- Alex: Yes, sir.
- Chief Guard Barnes: Then your toes belong on the *other* side of it!
- Chief Guard Barnes: [shouting at Alex, who is reading a legal document affecting his prison status] Don't read it! Sign it!
- Chief Guard Barnes: If I can offer a word of advice, Doc. You'll have to watch this one. A right brutal bastard he has been, and will be again, in spite of all his sucking up to the Prison Chaplain and reading the Bible.
