This Is Our Prison

"Our prison runs through the women"

After lunch all the women head down to the laundry room, the women from Litchfield more confused than ever.

Morello: "Why are we here?"
Big Boo: "Maybe we're getting some work duties?"
Liz: "Oh love..."
Big Boo: "That was sympathy, what's happening?"
Doreen: "You'll see. It's not pleasant, nor fair in my opinion."
Nicky: "Is someone gonna get smashed up?"
Boomer: "Ha-ha-ha yeah maybe."
Morello: "That's not right!"
Franky: "Punishments here are brutal, we run our own justices, we never involve the screws."
Alex: "Punishments?"
Morello: "Why punishments?"
Franky: "Just listen and you'll find out."

Bea: "Can I have your attention please!" She walks over to the steam press. "Now, as you all know, a girl OD here this morning. I don't tolerate drugs in this prison. Only beginning of this month Cindy Lou was sent to the slot for being caught with drugs. Now I thought at that point I had made my stand on drugs very clear. But apparently not to everyone. So let me refresh your memories."

Piper: "What's happening?"
Nicky: "You made it. Hey."

Bea: "Maxie, bring her over."  Maxine brings a kicking and screaming Tina over to the steam press, she holds Tina's wrist so her hand is on the press.

Big Boo: "What the fuck?" She whispers under her breath.
Boomer: "It's just how we sort shit out, i'd rather punch their tits in, but what Bea says goes."

Bea: "Tina, what are my rules on drugs?"
Tina: "Get off me you stupid ass fuck."
Bea: "Now i've made it very clear before, what makes you think you can go against me?"
Tina: "Piss off, it wasn't me."
Bea: "Then who was it?"
Tina: "I don't know." She looks directly at Franky. But Bea doesn't catch on.
Bea: "Now." She pulls the handle to the steam press down, trapping Tina's left hand, the steam filling the air clashing with the agonising screams Tina lets out. Eventually Bea lifts the press, Tina falls to the floor holding her wrist, crying in pain.

Resnikoff: "That is worse than putting someone in the SHU, how can you live with yourself brutalising these women?"
Franky: "The SHU? Don't speak, I wouldn't say anything else... "
Bea: "What was that?"
Resnikoff: "You call these people your girls but you don't think twice before harming them, I'd never do that to my girls."
Bea: "How dare you. You come into our prison, and stand up to me like that? I don't care what you do in yours. Our prison runs through the women. It always has done. Do yourself a favor and back down, before your hands end up under the press." Resnikoff steps back, Bea leaves the laundry room, slamming the door behind her.
Liz: "I don't agree with it, but it's just how it is."
Nicky: "Why does her attitude turn me on?"
Alex: "Urgh keep it in your pants Nicky." She laughs.
Franky: "Alex doesn't even need an attitude to turn me on." She bites her lip and leans in to kiss Alex in a jokingly seductive manner.
Piper: "ehem." She coughs.
Franky: "Oh blondie, stop now. Is this what you wanna see?" She runs her hands across Alex's body and kisses her lips. Piper runs out crying.

Back in H2 Bea is sketching, calming her mind. She overhears something she shouldn't have.

Franky: "You should try."
Alex: "Can you guarantee I'd stay here?"
Franky: "Yeah for sure."
Alex: "Can I just ask, why do you want me here so badly?"
Franky: "No reason." She becomes playful sounding.
Alex: "Tell me babe."
Franky: "Calling me babe now are ya?"
Alex: "Shit sorry Franky."
Franky: "Don't be sorry." Bea can hear the sounds of kissing, and laughter. "I like you Alex."
Alex: "That's not a Franky thing to say, you're being very soft now aye?" She too becomes playful sounding.
Franky: "Shhh, for the right woman I can be anything."
Alex: "I like you too, but let's not say anything to pipes, let's focus on getting me into Wentworth permanently."

Bea stands up shocked, she races into her room and closes the door before anyone can see her listening in. Nicky becomes startled by Bea's entrance.

Nicky: "Shit, you alright?" Nicky jumps down from the bunk.
Bea: "What. Yeah, yeah." She paces up and down.
Nicky: "That doesn't sound promising."
Bea: "I'm fine."
Nicky: "If you say so." She grabs Beas hand and pulls her in for a hug.
Bea: "W-what are you doing?" Pulling her arm back.
Nicky: "Relax, I just thought you could do with a hug."
Bea: "Sorry, uh- thanks." She wraps her arms around Nicky and embraces the hug, relaxing into the dip of Nicky's neck and shoulder. Exhaling all the frustration.
Nicky: "Better?" Nicky rubs her hand up and down Bea's back in a form of comfort.
Bea: "Mhm."

Maxine walks in,
Maxine: "Hey Bea-" She stops and stares, "Oops, sorry, I'll leave you two to it." She winks, to which Bea jumps up at the realisation of what Maxine may be thinking.
Bea: "That was nothing, just friendly!"
Nicky: "Damn your flirting game is just great." She whispers sarcastically.
Maxine: "No no it's okay, I get it." Backing out, she smiles at Bea.
Bea: "Maxie, I'm serious, It's not what you think you saw!" Everyone started to return to H2 as Bea yelled this out.
