Sister: “Attempted”?? Booo...

Sister: I don’t know why they’re always telling other people what they know. If I knew something, I’d be quiet as a mouse. I’d be quieter than a mouse. They’d be like “not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse” and it'd be like "that's right". You wouldn't even see me there.

Sister: No, back off! You’re gay! Gay Ray! Gay Ray! (Gasp) He hasn’t seen his boyfriend in a while. Aw, so sad.
Me: He was literally just at the meeting with Glynn there.
Sister: (in her own world) Gay Ray backwards is also like “reggae”. Haha! Gay Ray!
Me: The actor is also gay in real life…
Sister: Wow, I’m so good at this! (wiggles around in celebration) You know, you’d think they’d have mentioned that in one of those Jurassic Park things.
Me: What?
Sister: Wasn’t he in Jurassic Park? I feel like those people who review Jurassic Park would’ve mentioned it.
Me: He’s been out for a while. Did you really not know? You watch like all the Law & Orders.
Sister: How am I supposed to know that?! Does he have a boyfriend?
Me: He’s married with like two kids…
Sister: Wow...

Sister: Their rhythms are so mismatched. He’s doing her like a jackhammer and she’s just flopping all slowly… One of them is lying.
Me: It's not real.
Sister: This is my critique of the acting.

Sister: (sighing) Oh, this is her counseling session, I see.

Sister: Wouldn’t this be the perfect opportunity for his balls to be hanging out? Like why are they all perfectly packaged away already?
Me: Do you want to see his balls? The other week you said his dick reminded you of a rubber chicken.
Sister: It does. I’m just saying, it would add some realism if they were hanging out still. I wanna see some realism in this fantasy prison.

Sister: That doesn’t look like Miss Sally! Miss Sally has bigger… hair.

Sister: I’m pretty sure this lady was on Law & Order as like a scammer of some kind. And someone died as a result of her scams and she went to jail for it or whatever. Yeah, she was definitely a scammer.

Sister: No! Stop putting your dicks in enemy mouths!
Me: Some guys will drive miles and schedule their whole weeks around the mere chance of getting a blowjob. That's not going to stop him.

Sister: Why’s he talking about this like he’s building an empire? He doesn’t got no empire.

Sister: You have to move in? You couldn’t just make another attempt to steal the tapes?? (To me) I think the writers just wanted to make them live together.

Sister: Why did he suddenly get a southern accent? Can’t he be normal?

Stray Thoughts

Sister Pete with her cute red beret in this episode lol
I like how much of a role Sister Pete played in this episode
Kind of a fun detail that Adebisi plays at least two instruments and also has the CD player and also has a poster of a sax player. Just a big fan of music.
No Chico…. The Latinos and Italians got sent to Unit B but we don’t really see them this episode other than Jorge Vazquez standing near the pool table

Sister’s Final Thoughts

“I’m surprised they didn’t leave it on a cliffhanger… And then they tried to be crafty by having him come out and you don’t see any blood on his front but it’s like mmhm, let’s see the back.”
I don’t think Sister believes that Adebisi is actually dead due to Devlin not dying last episode. She also thinks that even if he does die, they’ll bring him back as a ghost
“I keep forgetting that guy (Miguel) is on the run. I keep thinking he’s just in the hospital or something and that’s why we haven’t seen him…”

Sister, coming back over as I’m screenshotting: Aww, that’s so sad for you! You don’t have anything to clip this week.
Me: What?
Sister: Of your guy! Don’t you usually clip him for your little fashion overview thing? So sad. Nothing to clip this week.
Me: Yeah, but I screenshot other things, too…
Sister: But you there’s no photos of your guy! You’ll have to clip like a wall or something. There’s going to be a blank space. Awww, so sad for little Weechee! (wanders away tut-tutting)
