Mayor of Kingstown
Sundays on Paramount+Mayor of Kingstown Season 2 Episode 1: "Never Missed a Pigeon" Quotes
My father used to say, I can't wait to get old, for my mind to soften, and my memories to rot away. The hardest thing to do is forget, forget the scars that life gives you, forget the scars you gave others. The challenge, then, is hiding a few memories worth keeping from your dying mind. He told me to keep a journal and only write down the good things. Then, when the bad things fade away, you can read about the happy life you had. But minds don't forget so easy, and the horror that we witness and endure takes root. Only madness and dementia can remove it.

The consequence of a riot is dismantling the illusion that prison is controlled by the guards. The consequence of putting down the riot is dismantling the leadership structure within the inmates. All that remains is chaos until a new leadership structure is created, and when there are no leaders inside, there are no leaders outside. All gangs are from prison because that's where all gangsters end up. And so is our new reality, and that reality is chaos.

I'm just goin' to go out on a fuckin' limb here and say it's gang-related.

Mike: Well, the only way it will get better, Bunny, is if the whole world gets fucking quiet, real quiet, real fast. Friend to friend, I wouldn't be cookin', and I wouldn't be movin'.
Bunny: You know how many of us they shot like dogs in that prison?
Mike: They killed 33 guards, Bunny, and then they raped the rest of them with their own fuckin' billy clubs.
Bunny: Yeah.
Mike: The guards are fuckin' thirsty for round two. They're just waitin' for you to do somethin'.
This is a disaster, Evelyn. Everything else is fuckin' shrapnel.
Mike
Ian: He's gonna kill somebody.
Miriam: Nah, your gang will kill him first.
