Quotes 

  • Julian Cadazio : "Simone, Naked. Cell Block J. Hobby Room." I wanna buy it.

    Moses Rosenthaler : Why?

    Julian Cadazio : Because I like it.

    Moses Rosenthaler : It's not for sale.

    Julian Cadazio : Yes, it is.

    Moses Rosenthaler : No, it isn't.

    Julian Cadazio : Yes, it is.

    Moses Rosenthaler : No, it isn't.

    Julian Cadazio : Yes, it is.

    Moses Rosenthaler : No, it isn't.

    Julian Cadazio : It is. Yes, it is. All artists sell all their work. It's what makes you an artist. Selling it. If you don't wish to sell it, don't paint it. Question is, what's your price?

    Moses Rosenthaler : 50 cigarettes. Actually, make it 75.

  • Chief Magistrate : Mr. Rosenthaler, why should we put you back on the street?

    Moses Rosenthaler : Because it was an accident, your honor. I didn't intend to kill anybody.

    Chief Magistrate : You decapitated two bartenders with a meat saw.

    Moses Rosenthaler : [after consulting with his lawyer]  The first bartender was an accident. The second one was self-defense.

  • Moses Rosenthaler : Well, I've been here 3,647 days and nights. Another 14,603 to go. I drink 14 pints of mouthwash rations per week. At that rate, I think I'm going to poison myself to death before I ever get to see the world again, which makes me feel very sad. I gotta change my program. I gotta go in a new direction. Anything I can do to keep my hands busy, I'm gonna do. Otherwise, I think maybe it's gonna be a suicide. And that's why I signed up for clay pottery and basket weaving. My name is Moses.

  • Moses Rosenthaler : I'm gonna need art supplies. Canvas, stretchers, brushes, turpentine.

    Simone : What do you want to paint?

    Moses Rosenthaler : The future. Which is you.

  • Julian Cadazio : I don't want to buy this important piece for 50 cigarettes.

    Moses Rosenthaler : 75.

    Julian Cadazio : Or 75 of prison currency. I want to pay you 250,000 francs in legal French tender. Do we agree - on the sale? Uh-huh. I can only offer a deposit of, uh, 83 centimes, one candied chestnut, and four cigarettes. Everything I have at this present moment in time. However, if you'll accept my signatory voucher, I assure you a check for the outstanding balance will be remitted to your account within 90 days.

  • Chief Magistrate : What demonstration of genuine remorse, or, at the very least, regret can you offer for beheading these men?

    Moses Rosenthaler : They had it coming.
