Quotes 

• Maxine Daniels : Poor Paddy. Fancy getting copped the night before you get released.

  Bea Smith : Pity you don't remember that when you're dealing with that murdering bitch!

  Lizzie Birdsworth : But we gotta trade with somebody, Bea, and everyone's in it.

  Bea Smith : [raising her voice]  Well everyone should just stop for a minute and take stock! They're all so busy spending they don't care who they're dealing with; but I do! And I'm taking stock of everyone that deals with Nola. And when the time comes they'll all get a lot more than what they bargained for.

• Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson : [to the police escort]  Right. You can have these two, with my compliments.

  Nola McKenzie : [to Bea]  Lovely day for a trial, isn't it?

  Bea Smith : Don't push your luck, Mckenzie. I might just tell them I didn't hear or see anything and you could wind up back in WA facing a hanging.

  Nola McKenzie : Perjury is against the law, Smith. Or haven't you heard?

• Nola McKenzie : The new TV.

  Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson : Give yourself a pat on the back Mckenzie. Your generosity to your fellow prisoners is only exceeded by the size of your ego.

  Nola McKenzie : Anything you say, Miss Ferguson.

  Bea Smith : [looking at the new set]  Hm. Black and white.

• Nola McKenzie : Nobody musters in on me!

  Bea Smith : Pretty boy words, McKenzie. But seeing you wiggle your way out of this is going to prove more entertaining than that lousy TV set.

  Nola McKenzie : I've met her type before. I know how to handle freaks like her.

  Bea Smith : I hope you're right, because around here there's only one crime worse than lagging and it's called sucking up to Ferguson. And if I ever fond out that you're dealing with the Freak, *I'll* deal with you, once and for all.
