[Dwight McClusky:] "Mickey and Mallory Knox are without a doubt the most twisted, depraved pair of shit fucked that has ever been my displeasure to lay my goddamn eyes on. I'm tellin' you, these two motherfuckers are a walkin' reminder of just how fucked up the system really is." [Jack Scagnetti:] "Don't get me started, okay, warden? Don't get me started."
