Sister: Why do they always do this? Me: What, tell the other person before they do something?

Sister: Is he one of the Italians?

Sister: I’m very invested in the way he grooms his mustache.

Sister: Mukada?
Me: Why would he call Mukada a bastard? Sister: ….

Sister: Kinda sad, though. They were like ‘he’s becoming unstable—he’s changed for the worse’, but I feel like he was the same.

They would throw their support behind DEVLIN if Glynn hires ONE black unit manager in ONE state prison? Get real.

Sister: I need her to stop. You could say you had lasagna for dinner and she’d be like ‘THAT sounds good~’.

Sister: I know somebody has made a fanfiction about this.

Sister: Promises don’t mean anything from you.

Sister: *blows raspberry*

Sister: Manipulating. Manipulating in full force.

Sister: Why is this lady standing every where? She was in the hallway…
Me: She got taken off Solitary.
Sister: And they put her in the HOSPITAL?

Sister: He’s like playing word association games. It’s like if I was like “We’re eating vegetables for dinner”, and you were like “Potatoes…”

Sister: Your children are dead! Your father is dead!
Sister Pete: Your children have been kidnappped.
Sister: I’m so good at this. I knew it had to be something on the outside

Stray Thoughts:

Poet has a sister… Miguel has a sister… Said has a sister… Morales has a sister…
Kinda wish they had showed Morales and El Cid interacting at least once

Final Thoughts:

Sister: I think that lady is going to run out of money pretty fast. She’s going to have to pay income taxes… and in California? [After much calculation] If you put it in today’s money, 250k would be like 450k today… And then assuming it’s taxable, in New York, with today’s income rate… filed single, with state and federal incomes taxes… She’d have to give up like half of what she received if it was in today’s money. I wonder if the taxes were lower in 2000… I don’t think she should’ve moved to California. The prisoners are going to have to pay taxes on that, too. And a lot of them probably have creditors.
Me: Yeah, a lot of them probably have to pay retribution…
Sister: That’s what I’m saying. I feel like most of them would have creditors, and they probably also don’t know about setting up trusts, either… So they probably wouldn’t know how to shield their windfalls.
Me: Well maybe Said and Tobias would know about trusts.
Sister: Yeah, but they can’t, like, leave prison to go to debtor-friendly states anyhow. But also, they could get sued for fraud for transferring funds to avoid creditors, so that’s another thing they’d probably have to watch out for.

Me: I feel like El Cid in this episode was just starting to get interesting and then he died. Prior to this, we never really got his perspective on things. There's a moment of pity for his life, growing up in and out of prisons.
Sister: They decided to crack his character open like a little egg and then crack! Whoops, cracked it a little too hard.
