Quotes
-
Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson : I haven't noticed Stevens around... surely she didn't go on the singing trip?
Ann Reynolds : No, she's still in hospital; that episode with the snake was too much for her. She came very close to a complete nervous breakdown.
Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson : Really? She always seemed so much in control.
Ann Reynolds : Yes, well, the mind is a fragile thing. I think we all need to make an effort to be *very* gentle with her at the moment. The last thing we want is to push her over the brink.
Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson : Of course.
-
Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson : Well well well, Stevens. I turn my back for five minutes and the ice lady turns to jelly. Nasty business about that snake though, wasn't it? Hope there aren't any more around.
-
Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson : Something wrong, Governor?
Ann Reynolds : All the women have escaped.
Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson : [gobsmacked] Well...
Ann Reynolds : I'll contact the police... then I'll have to ring the department.
Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson : Wont be too pleased.
Ann Reynolds : No. They'll probably have my head.

[Joan and Doreen have just encountered each other in the reception]
Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson : What are you doing here?
Doreen Burns : God... I'd forgotten about you! It's funny how you only remember the good things, eh?
Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson : [scoffs] No doubt you'll be back here soon... so you can refresh your memory.
Doreen Burns : You never know... you might be right, Miss Ferguson. You just keep that welcome mat out for me, wont you?
[she turns and leaves]
-
Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson : [to Meg] Sounds as though you and the Governor are really on the carpet, doesn't it? Don't worry, still a few of us left who can do the job.

[Sonia see's there is something under her bed covers. She pulls them back to find a baby-sized doll. She is clearly troubled by this. Joan then walks in]
Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson : What have you got there, Stevens? Ooh, looks like a baby. Is it your baby, Stevens?
Sonia Stevens : No.
Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson : What's your baby's name? Nicky, isn't it?
[Sonia murmurs]
Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson : That's right! But Nicky is dead, isn't he, Stevens?
[Myra then appears at the cell door]
Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson : Poor dead Nicky, he needs you, Stevens.
Sonia Stevens : No!
Myra Desmond : What the hell is going on?
Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson : Get out of here, Desmond.
Myra Desmond : No way!
Sonia Stevens : [pointing to the doll] Take that thing away!
Myra Desmond : [to Joan] You sick bitch!
Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson : Watch your mouth, Desmond, or I'll have you on a charge.
Myra Desmond : You do that. I'm sure Mrs Reynolds will love to know where that doll's come from.
