- Marie Allen: I feel a little sick.
- Infirmary Nurse: Get that way often?
- Marie Allen: Yes, the last week or so.
- Infirmary Nurse: Say, you expecting company?
- Marie Allen: [mumbles] I don't know.
- Infirmary Nurse: [cynically] Another pregnant one! Get up!... You know who the father is?
- Marie Allen: My husband.
- Marie Allen: [sarcastically] Well, ain't we gettin' respectable! Could he help with the expenses?
- Marie Allen: He's dead!
- Infirmary Nurse: [with contempt] Another bill for the state! Get dressed!
- Evelyn Harper: Home sweet home! Just like the big cage in the zoo - only you clean it up instead of the keeper. Bucket and brush is in the corner closet.
- Marie Allen: Mrs. Benton said I was going to work in the laundry.
- Evelyn Harper: I'm the boss here! Start scrubbin'!
- Marie Allen: But Mrs. Benton told me...
- Marie Allen: [she sees another inmate signaling her not to talk back] Where do I begin, Mrs. Harper?
- Evelyn Harper: Now you're gettin' hip.
- Claire Devlin - Inmate: How much time you pullin'?
- Marie Allen: One to fifteen years. But I come up for parole in ten months.
- Smoochie: Just a hot minute. What's your rap?
- Marie Allen: Robbery.
- Smoochie: Hmph. Society. Larcenists don't talk to CPs.
- Marie Allen: [not familiar with the term, looks perplexed] "CPs"?
- Smoochie: Are you kiddin'?
- Kitty Stark: "CP" - common prostitute.
- Smoochie: Where you been livin', the moon?
- Kitty Stark: Her name's Smoochie.
- Marie Allen: Glad to meet you.
- [politely holds out her hand to shake]
- Smoochie: [somewhat reluctantly shakes hands, then turns to Kitty Stark] Got news for ya': she's all right.
- Infirmary Nurse: [to one of the infirmary assistants, as Marie is being given her prison medical exam] I hope your batch is cleaner than the last lot. I had to scrub them with brooms.
- Infirmary Nurse: [examines her eyes and ears] Eyes okay... No drugs in the ears... Open your mouth wide... I said *wide*!
- Infirmary Nurse: [examines inside her mouth] No drugs in mouth. Teeth sound.
- Infirmary Nurse: [thumps her chest] Lung tap sound... Heart excited, but strong enough.
- Infirmary Nurse: [Marie starts to look very uncomfortable] What's the matter?
- Marie Allen: [weakly] I feel a little sick...
