Orange Is the New Black, Season 3

Orange Is the New Black (2013-19) is an American comedy-drama series, created by Jenji Kohan and released on Netflix, about a woman in her thirties who is sentenced to 15 months in prison after she is convicted of a decade-old crime of transporting money for her drug dealing girlfriend. The series is based on Piper Kerman's memoir, Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison, about her experiences in prison.

Carrie "Big Boo" Black:
You ever read a book called Freakonomics?

Tiffany "Pennsatucky" Doggett:
No. What's it about, bearded ladies and midgets?

Carrie "Big Boo" Black:
Close. It's about economic theory, cause and effect.

Tiffany "Pennsatucky" Doggett:
Sounds boring.

Carrie "Big Boo" Black:
Mmm. It's actually a pretty good read. They have this chapter in it, "Where Have All the Criminals Gone?"

Tiffany "Pennsatucky" Doggett:
Over there in that field.

Carrie "Big Boo" Black:
[chuckles] You know, in the 1990s, crime fell spectacularly, and this book attributes that to the passing of Roe v. Wade.

Tiffany "Pennsatucky" Doggett:
The Darkness of '73.

Carrie "Big Boo" Black:
The exact opposite, actually. I mean, the abortions that occurred after Roe v. Wade? These were children that weren't wanted. Children who, if their mothers had been forced to have them, would've grown up poor and neglected and abused, the three most important ingredients when one is making a felon. But they were never born. So, 20 years later, when they would've been of prime crime age, they weren't there. And the crime rate [scoffs] Dropped dramatically.

Tiffany "Pennsatucky" Doggett:
What's your point?

Carrie "Big Boo" Black:
Well, my point is that you were a meth-head, white-trash piece of shit, and your children, had they been born, would have been meth-head, white-trash pieces of shit. So by terminating those pregnancies, you spared society the scourge of your offspring. I mean, when you think about it, it's a blessing.

Tiffany "Pennsatucky" Doggett:
Never thought about it that way.

Carrie "Big Boo" Black:
Well, maybe you should, hmm? Maybe you should stop punishing yourself. I mean, what does a good mother do? A good mother does what's best for her children. And maybe what was best for your children was wipin' 'em out before they had to lead miserable fucking lives.

[Red has come to Healy's office]

Galina "Red" Reznikov:
I need to add my lawyer to my visitation list.

Sam Healy:
You having problems with your case?

Galina "Red" Reznikov:
No. And please take my husband off my list.

Sam Healy:
[gesturing to the seat in front of him] Why don't you have a seat, Red?

Galina "Red" Reznikov:
I won't be staying. But thank you.

Sam Healy:
Please... Sit. [annoyed, she does so] You want to tell me what's going on?

Galina "Red" Reznikov:
I married a pillow. Soft, lumpy, and always lying behind my back.

Sam Healy:
Words like "always" are absolutes. And using them is a way to reinforce what we wanna believe. When speaking emotionally, absolutes can be dangerous.

Galina "Red" Reznikov:
Good advice. Thank you. Please add my lawyer and remove my husband.

Sam Healy:
You know, Red... Marriage is a two-way street.

Galina "Red" Reznikov:
And you can't swim without getting wet. See, I can say cliches too. Ha!

Sam Healy:
You owe it to your younger self to explore those things that made you wanna marry this man in the first place. You may find that they're still there.

Galina "Red" Reznikov:
I owe my younger self 23 years of wild sex with multiple partners. But I'll settle for my name back.

Sam Healy:
You made a lifelong commitment. That's sacred.

Galina "Red" Reznikov:
You don't know my story, Healy, and you don't know what he's done. [In Russian] Cocksucker.

Sam Healy:
[in a sharp tone, startling her] Hey! Language! [angrily] I know what that word means, and it's not okay to refer to your husband, or any other man that way. [as she stares at him in shock, he rises from his seat] You know, you huff in here... Like some put-upon martyr... Like a smile would break your face, trivialising a man's emotions. What is that? Some kind of a Russian thing or something?

Galina "Red" Reznikov:
What the hell does that -?

Sam Healy:
Hey! Language! Again! That's the last time I'm gonna warn you, Mrs. Reznikov. [comes round to the front of his desk] You forget where you are... Just like you forget that your husband has a stake in this too? Just because he made some mistakes doesn't mean you can run off and go sleep in your mother's room at the first sign of white caps on the ocean!

[Red is translating a conversation between Healy and his wife, Katya]

Galina "Red" Reznikov:
[in Russian] All he wants is for you to be happy.

Sam Healy:
I don't know why, but we've lost the feeling we had in the beginning.

[Red translates]

Katya Healy:
[in broken English] We never have real feeling at beginning, because you're not the man you say to me on Internet. You catfish.

Sam Healy:
[confused] Catfish?

[He looks to Red, but she doesn't understand either]

Katya Healy:
[in Russian] I thought he was a real psychologist. I thought we'd go to the museums, the opera. I thought he'd be funny. He seemed funny online when he could edit himself.

Galina "Red" Reznikov:
[unimpressed] Mmmm... [Healy looks at her for a translation] Um... You're not a real psychologist. You don't go to the opera and you're not funny.

Katya Healy:
[in Russian] He yells at me.

Galina "Red" Reznikov:
And you yell.

Katya Healy:
And drool. Every morning, the sheets are soaked like a small child has peed the bed, but from his face.

Galina "Red" Reznikov:
[in English] It's... [sighs] It doesn't translate.

Sam Healy:
Look, I have not been perfect. But there's nothing wrong between us that we can't work through together.

Katya Healy:
[in English] No, it is too late. I deserve better man than you, Sam.

Galina "Red" Reznikov:
[fed up] Oh, give me a fucking break. Deserve? Deserve!? You're a mail-order bride.

Katya Healy:
I'm not a mail-order bride.

Galina "Red" Reznikov:
[in Russian] Whatever. You "made an arrangement," and he's holding up his end of it. And you're the type who wants the world to be perfect, but you're not willing to lift a finger to help it along. He's not the man you thought he'd be because the man you thought he'd be doesn't exist. This is what a good man looks like. [loudly, in English] So what if he drools a small pond? He takes care of you, doesn't he? He takes care of your mother, and he's handsome, and he's good. And at least he's fucking trying, which is a lot more than I can say for you!

[Piper has stepped out of the shower, and passes Stella, who is combing her hair, stark naked]

Stella Carlin:
Hey, boss lady.

Piper Chapman:
Hey! Um... [awkwardly trying to avert her gaze] You look comfortable.

Stella Carlin:
I like to air dry. Sensitive skin. And these towels are the fucking worst.

Piper Chapman:
Oh yeah, they're the worst.

Stella Carlin:
How does it feel being a magnate?

Piper Chapman:
No, I'm not really...

Stella Carlin:
Today'd panty smuggler, tomorrow's Fortune 500. Sisters are doing it for themselves.

Piper Chapman:
You're too young to know that song!

Stella Carlin:
[confused] What song?

Piper Chapman:
Never mind.

Stella Carlin:
So, how's your first shipment doing?

Piper Chapman:
We'll know soon.

Stella Carlin:
You must be psyched.

Piper Chapman:
It's really nice how supportive you are.

Stella Carlin:
[smiles] Whatever.

[By this point, Piper has changed her mind, and decided to get a good look at Stella instead, so she awkwardly tries to prolong the conversation]

Piper Chapman:
I was thinking, and I... I think you'd actually be a really great... person to ask about this. I'm thinking the spicy chicken packets might be worth more than the regular chicken packets, because they are certainly proving to be the most popular.

Stella Carlin:
Mm... Sounds like quite a pickle.

Piper Chapman:
Mm-hmm, yes.

Stella Carlin:
I'm sure you'll figure out what you want. [She walks right up to Piper, who quickly steps to one side, out of her way] I have every confidence in you. [Heads back to shower] All right, who stole my towel?

Carrie "Big Boo" Black:
[To Pennsatucky, dropping a big armful of sweets and chips onto her bed] There you go.

Tiffany "Pennsatucky" Doggett:
What's all that for?

Big Boo:
Well, I, uh... I want you to go down on me

Pennsatucky:
Hell no, that's disgusting.

Big Boo:
Yeah, but I'm feeling horny, so I'm buying you. Look, there's some M&M's in there. So let's go. Get me off.

Pennsatucky:
That's not funny.

Big Boo:
I'm not joking. You're for sale, and I'm purchasing her services. Just, you know, check out, go to your happy place. I'll be quick.

[Pennsatucky suddenly realises what point Boo is trying to make]

Pennsatucky:
[softly] Stop that.

Big Boo:
[becoming louder and more aggressive] And maybe I'll sodomise you while I"m at it. You know, stick a hairbrush up your ass. Hold you down, pull your hair, maybe bite your neck. Wouldn't that be fun? You might like that. Why don't you try it, huh? Why don't you try that? Just let me have my fucking way with you. Hey, I could tie you up. We could maybe use your fucking T-shirt as a gag, huh?

Pennsatucky:
[loudly] Will you stop it!?

Big Boo:
I'm gonna do whatever I fucking want to you, and you're gonna lie there and you're gonna take it. Because that's the way this works, isn't it? Isn't that it!?

Pennsatucky:
[breaking down in tears] Stop that. [sobs] Stop it. [she rests her head in her hands. Referring to Charlie "Donuts" Coates, the prison guard who regularly rapes her] I wanted to stop... I wanted to stop so bad, I wanted him to stop.

Big Boo:
Good. Cause we're gonna get that motherfucker. [she takes Pennsatucky into her arms and holds her] Come on. It's okay.
