Sister: What exactly is so hard about this job that no one can handle it? There’s been like 3 people at this job.
Me: They have to deal with civilians so they’re not allowed to just beat people when they’re angry.

Sister: I don’t know about that.

Sister: Who’s he? He’s handsome…
Me: Zanghi…
Sister: Zany??
Me: Ghee...

Sister: They’re dead!

Sister: He’s dead!

Sister: This guy is tweaking so bad… There’s no way they buy that he used to deal drugs or whatever on the outside, right?!

Sister: Is this where he’s finally going to realise something’s weird?
Glynn: [looks down]
Sister: Nope.

Sister: How would failing to do this job ruin his career?
Me: Yeah, he’s already a detective… Wouldn’t they just send him back to his regular narcotics stuff? Why would they demote him to street patrol?
Sister: This is his first big undercover assignment, too….
Me: Maybe he has some untold back story where he already fucked up a lot on the job so this is his last chance…

Sister: (as Chris) …to not be a child killer.

Sister: He’s like the dumb husband who thinks everything’s great and his wife is homicidal like giving her manifesto and going “right, honey??” and he’s asleep. Look, he’s asleep!

Sister: Trotting in like a baby giraffe… so obvious.

Sister: (as Ryan) It’s in my brother’s hair.

Sister: I don’t get why they’re trying to make him a good guy on this specific issue. Like whatever. Just let it be him, like he did everything else already. Plus, they told us right away and I don’t like when they try to tell us somebody’s supposed to be a good guy, either. They didn’t even let it be ambiguous for more than 5 minutes. Why bother? Psh, like oh, that's the line? I would have preferred if they never clarified whether or not he lied.

Sister: (as Gloria): I’m going to London!

Stray Thoughts

• The muslim population constitutes 18% of Oz according to Arif
• Penis count: 3 (unique penises: 2)
• Old man butt: 1
• Boob count: 1 (pair)
• TV report states that it has been 3 weeks since Miguel escaped
• Sister thinks the dicks in this show look weird ("like those rubber chickens") and if it turned out they were prosthetics, she would not have been surprised. She said the prosthetics team listed in the credits (in this alternate reality where the penises are fake, I guess) would be Pecky & Nooter.
