This Is Our Prison

"Im not into you"

Resnikoff: "What's happening?"
Liz: "Just a lockdown because someones injured."
Boomer: "Or dead."
Liz: "Not helpful. It's hardly ever death, let's just hope it's an injury."
Morello: "Uhm you guys, I think I see a body bag."
Everyone races to the gate to peer through. There is in fact a body bag, being carried on a stretcher through the prison, followed by Mr Jackson holding a bag.

Bea: "Hey Mr Jackson!" She shouts for his attention.
Mr J: "What do you want Smith?"
Bea: "Who's in that body bag?"
Mr J: "A newbie from H4, the last I saw of her was in the kitchen talking to Tina Mercado."
Bea: "Do you think she had something to do with this?"
Mr J: "I wouldn't put it past her, but I have no evidence." He whispers to her.
Bea: "How'd she die?"
Mr J: "Looks like a drug OD." He holds up the bag containing a white powdery substance.
Bea: "I'll figure it out. Leave it with me."
Mr J: "Now Smith don't do anything stupid."
Bea: "No promises Mr J."

The women all take a seat after the fuss of seeing a body bag.
Morello: "We- we don't see those much."
Big Boo: "No we don't, maybe that's because we're a minimum."
Nicky: "I just don't think our drug count is as high."
Bea: "And what, ours is?"
Nicky: "I didn't mean it that way."
Bea: "Best not. I don't get it, how are drugs back in wentworth? I caught Cindy Lou already this month." She turns to Franky, "You don't know anything about this do you?"
Franky: "Nup, I'm offended you'd even think that." She laughs.
Bea: "Na na im serious, you know my stand on drugs."
Franky: "Well lucky for you I know nothing."
Liz: "Maybe it's Tina. She could have easily found a way for drugs to come in while Cindy Lou is in the slot. She works the kitchen, when Franky isn't there who knows what she gets up to."
Doreen: "There's many loopholes in the kitchen too. Delivery being the main point of entry."
Bea: "When this lockdowns lifted, Maxie, you and I will pay Tina a little visit."
Maxine: "Right'O Bea."
Piper: "Isn't it kind of scary that we've just witnessed a death?"
Big Boo: "You would think so."
Boomer: "Happens all the time here." She says while stuffing her face with Monte Carlos.
Liz: "All too often." She shakes her head disapprovingly.
Resnikoff: "Can I just ask, I heard Franky you are in the kitchen sometimes?"
Franky: "I run the kitchen over lunch and dinner."
Resnikoff: "You got any more room? I ran our kitchens, until our warden started giving us slop and mush. That's hardly food. I miss being in the kitchen, smelling the fresh... vegetables." She speaks in a thick whispered russian accent, having a moment of clarity when remembering the smell of fresh veg.
Franky: "I dunno, we're kinda full."
Resnikoff: "Oh come on, can't you find it in you to offer a former chef a place? I used to own a kitchen before prison."
Franky: "Yeah and? I was on a cooking reality show, I threw oil into someone's face, that's what landed me here. Now if you don't mind, my answer is still no."

Franky walks off into her room, followed by an excited Alex Vause.

Piper: "Why have they closed the door? What's Alex doing? Are they making out again?"
Boomer: "Fuck me, you're insecure aren't you?" She bellows a laugh, still, stuffing her face.
Liz: "They could be just talking love."
Maxine: "But if they are kissing it doesn't matter. Leave them be."
Nicky: "Oi redhead, how's about we have some alone time." She laughs and aims a wink at Bea.
Bea: "I'm not into you. But feel free to come talk strategy with me and Maxie." She winks back in a sarcastic manner.
Nicky: "You will be by the time I have to leave, then you'll hate yourself for not giving me the chance." She laughs.
Bea: "And what makes you so sure of that?"
Nicky: "That's for me to know and you to find out."
Maxine: "Good luck Nicky, but Bea's a tough nut to crack."
Morello: "Nicky has a way with the ladies." She smiles at Nicky with wide eyes.
Doreen: "Okay I'm sensing some history between you two?"
Nicky: "She was mine until she married this Vinny, now she won't even play around." She nudges Morello.
Morello: "I wasn't yours officially. We just had an overly playful friendship, but i have to be loyal to my Vinny, he's my husband."
Bea: "Well as riveting as this conversation is, Maxie and I really are going to talk strategy now."

Bea enters her room, followed by Maxie, who closes the door behind them.
