Quotes 

• Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell : I'll protect you. All you gotta do is take this pocket right here and ya life'll be all peaches and cream. I walk, you walk with me. Keep real close now, so no one up in here can hurt you.

  Michael Scofield : [pointing to the inmate who is already holding on to the pocket]  I see you already have a girlfriend

• Dr. Sara Tancredi : You seem nervous.

  Michael Scofield : I do?

  Dr. Sara Tancredi : You're sweating.

  Michael Scofield : Must be the needles. Never really got used to 'em.

  Dr. Sara Tancredi : Somehow with diabetes and that tattoo I find that hard to believe.

• Lincoln Burrows : It can't be done, Michael. No one's ever broken out of Fox River.

  Michael Scofield : Every single step's already been mapped out. Every contingency.

  Lincoln Burrows : Every contingency? You may have the blueprints to this place but there's one thing those plans can't show you - people. Guys like Abruzzi. You so much as look at these cats the wrong way, they'll cut you up.

  Michael Scofield : Far as the rest of these guys are concerned, I'm just another con, doin' his time. Stayin' out of trouble.

  Lincoln Burrows : You don't go lookin' for trouble in here, it just finds you!

  Michael Scofield : And when it does we'll be long gone.

• Lincoln Burrows : Now is not the time to be trusting a black inmate, Michael.

  Michael Scofield : Our relationship transcends race.

  Lincoln Burrows : Nothing transcends race in here.

• Charles "The Old Head" Westmoreland : [playing checkers and losing]  You're anticipating every one of my moves three moves in advance. You're a hell of a strategist, fish.

  Michael Scofield : Do you ever think about Boston?

  Charles "The Old Head" Westmoreland : Sure.

  Michael Scofield : Think you'll ever see it again?

  Charles "The Old Head" Westmoreland : I'm a 60 year old man with 60 years left on my ticket. What do you think?

  Michael Scofield : I'm thinking about going.

  Charles "The Old Head" Westmoreland : Now, there's going and there's "going". Which one do you mean?

  Michael Scofield : The one you think I mean.

  Charles "The Old Head" Westmoreland : [smiles]  Three days inside and he's already thinking about turning rabbit. It'll pass, it always does.

• Charles "The Old Head" Westmoreland : Bigger things to worry about at the moment. I've been in here long enough to know it when I see it - the calm before the storm. Whites and blacks will be going at each other real soon here. Everybody chooses sides and a lot of guys bleed.

  Michael Scofield : There a reason?

  Charles "The Old Head" Westmoreland : Same reason you don't put cats and dogs in the same cage - they don't get along.

• Inmate : You best speak with respect, fish. Man kidnapped half a dozen boys and girls down in 'bama, raped and killed 'em. Wasn't always in that order either.

  Michael Scofield : Does this T-Bag have a name?

  Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell : [walks up]  That is my real name.

  [Michael stands to leave] 

  Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell : No, no, no please, sit. So you're the one I've been hearing all the rave reviews about. Scofield! Well, one thing's for sure, you just as pretty as advertised. Prettier even.

• John Abruzzi : This little polka that you and I have been dancing for awhile... as of right now, it's over. Fibonacci. I want to know how you got to him and where he is right now.

  Michael Scofield : It's not going to happen, John.

  John Abruzzi : [nods]  We'll see.
