- [Bea and Lizzie are meeting with Bea's lawyer in the interview room]
- Jerry Steele: Now the way I see it is this: your best chance is to plead guilty of murder but with extreme provocation.
- Lizzie Birdsworth: Why should she plead guilty? That bitch McKenzie got what was coming to her and more!
- Jerry Steele: That may be so...
- Lizzie Birdsworth: She murdered poor little Paddy. She tried to do the same to Bea, only Bea was too smart for her.
- Jerry Steele: Mrs Birdsworth...
- Lizzie Birdsworth: She and the Freak tried to make poor old Bea think she was going nuts.
- Jerry Steele: Mrs Birdsworth, please...
- Lizzie Birdsworth: It wasn't murder - she deserved it!
- Jerry Steele: Her life was taken unlawfully. That's murder. But if we can prove extreme provocation, the sentence will be lighter.
- Bea Smith: I don't see what difference it's going to make; I'm a lifer already. This time they'll just throw away the key.
- Jerry Steele: Not necessarily. Murder with provocation still makes you eligible for parole earlier.
- Lizzie Birdsworth: Why don't you go temporary insanity, Bea? That should be easy to prove.
- Bea Smith: Oh, thanks Lizzie!
- Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson: The officers aren't the most popular people in the prison.
- Lizzie Birdsworth: That's a lotta bull! You're the only screw we *hate*!
- Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson: I told you she was faking... and she was also lying about me assaulting her the other night.
- Colleen Powell: I take it, Belman, you wish to make a formal complaint?
- Tracey Belman: You damn well bet I do.
- Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson: You're not gonna take her seriously?
- Colleen Powell: Well, you can see the situation. My hands are tied.
- Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson: But... she's lying.
- Colleen Powell: You know the regulations. This sort of thing must go on report to the governor.
- Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson: I hardly think that's necessary, since the reason I am here is because the governor asked me to keep an eye on her.
- Colleen Powell: Belman, are you prepared to withdraw the charge?
- Tracey Belman: No way.
- Colleen Powell: Then I have no alternative than to take a formal statement form you both.
