Context
This line is spoken by Piper Chapman, played by Taylor Schilling, in the TV show Orange Is the New Black (2013-).
Every day in prison is a bad one, but some are worse than others. Prison is also a world where having a screwdriver can be considering possessing a deadly weapon.
When new inmate Piper Chapman accidentally finds herself in possession of this violent instrument, her bunkmate is furious with her for almost getting them both in trouble. After taking some heat from her, Piper decides she's had enough, and she stands up for herself with this speech.
Where you've heard it
