Selma : You like the movies, don't you?
Bill Houston : I love the movies. I just love the musicals.
Selma : But isn't it annoying when they do the last song in the films?
Bill Houston : Why?
Selma : Because you just know when it goes really big... and the camera goes like out of the roof... and you just know it's going to end. I hate that. I would leave just after the next to last song... and the film would just go on forever.

Brenda : You'll be transferred to the other cellblock, at some point tomorrow.
Selma : That's the cellblock where they hang people?
Brenda : Yeah. That's were they spend the last day.
Selma : And then they do the 107 steps - it's from that room to the gallows, isn't it?
Brenda : That's what they say, Selma. But, look it, you're gonna get your stay. Why don't you try to think of something nice. All right?
Selma : It's just so quiet here.

Selma : You keep readin'.
Gene Jezkova : So long, farewell auf wiedersehen, adieu, adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu.
