Quotes
-
Jacob Anton Ness : If you're planning something, I'll always be a step ahead of you. You know that. I can see everything in your eyes.
Michael Scofield : It's what's behind the eyes that counts, Professor.
Jacob Anton Ness : Hmm.
Michael Scofield : So you're gonna wait a year for me to find my way out of Sittwe? Or are you gonna get me a partner, so we can get on with the business of changing the world?
Jacob Anton Ness : [handing the envelope back] Done.

Jacob Anton Ness : I own you, Scofield. I know everything about you. Even your most mundane actions, like the zoo. What's with you and the zoo?
Michael Scofield : I go there to think.
Jacob Anton Ness : Eighteen times in the past month? A lot of thinking.
Michael Scofield : I was figuring out how to get your guy out of Barranquilla.
Jacob Anton Ness : Hmm.
Michael Scofield : Turns out he's not just a rebel leader; he's a murderous sociopath.
Jacob Anton Ness : That's the only way to make omelets.
Michael Scofield : I need to know more about our targets. If I'm facilitating escapes, we can't have surprises.
Jacob Anton Ness : Be proud. You and me, we're changing the world.
Michael Scofield : Doesn't make it right.
Jacob Anton Ness : Don't act like you're suddenly a fan of the status quo, okay? The system, it's slow, stupid, and doomed to fail. That's why you had to bust your brother out in the first place.
-
Jacob Anton Ness : New ink since the last time I saw you. Working on a new plan?
Michael Scofield : No. No new plan. Just get tired of looking at empty skin.
Jacob Anton Ness : Uh-huh. You know, it was those tats at Fox River that caught my eye in the first place. I had to know everything about the man who wore his plans on his skin. In plain sight, yet so mysterious.
-
Jacob Anton Ness : The key to real power is to disappear.
Claudia (Student) : Hi, Professor Ness.
Jacob Anton Ness : Hello, Claudia.
[to Michael]
Jacob Anton Ness : Yeah, the secret to real power is to never betray your intentions, to wear nothing on your sleeve. And to never let anyone see your face.

Michael Scofield : Next time I'm sitting in solitary, I'll think of you in here, running the world in air-conditioned comfort.
Jacob Anton Ness : I've spent my time in the field. You all set for Myanmar? It's only a few weeks off.
Michael Scofield : [handing him an envelope] That's why I'm here. I want to bring someone on board.
Jacob Anton Ness : Oh, really?
Michael Scofield : The prison camp at Sittwe is a two-man job. I've been watching this guy. He'll be useful.
Jacob Anton Ness : Watching him? You in charge of recruting now?
Michael Scofield : Trust me, the last thing I want to do is suck someone else into this. He'll have my back and he'll speed things up, increase our odds.
Jacob Anton Ness : [opening the envelope, he sees a dossier on Whip] Not exactly a distinguished career.
Michael Scofield : He's held up well in prison and he's got a mean streak. And he grew up without a family. It means he can be manipulated.
