• Eclipse, Dallas, others : [after the re-building of the Mustang]  When we're in a sober mood, we worry, work and think. When we're in a drunken mood, we gamble, play and drink. But when our moods are over, when our time is come to pass, we hope they bury us upside down, so the warden can kiss our ass!

  Dallas : Amen!

• Warden Drumgoole : [Leone has been tricked by Drumgoole into an escape attempt... along with Dallas, who is also being set up by the warden. As both prisoners reach Gateway's darkened steam plant, they are cornered by guards. Then Drumgoole emerges from the shadows]  Right on schedule, Frank.

  Dallas : I'm sorry, man; you were my ticket out of here.

  Frank Leone : Damn you! You had me set up the whole time?

  Dallas : Not the *whole* time. I got 30 years to go, man; I wouldn't have lasted half that long. The warden made me a deal, man!

  Warden Drumgoole : Wrong.

  [Shocked, Dallas whirls and stares at him] 

  Warden Drumgoole : I don't make deals with escaping prisoners.

  Dallas : What the hell are you talking about? You said if I...

  Warden Drumgoole : Shut up. You're going back to the population.

  Dallas : WHAT...? You can't do this to me, warden; you can't send me back to the population. They know I snitched him off! THEY'LL *KILL* ME, YOU *LYING BASTARD!*

  Warden Drumgoole : It takes one to know one, doesn't it?

  Dallas : I came through for you, goddamn it! You made me an offer, and I -- !

  Warden Drumgoole : And you were stupid enough to take it. That's your problem, not mine. Mister Manly, you know what to do.

  [Manly and the other guards beat Dallas to a pulp, while Drumgoole and a restrained Frank look on] 

  Frank Leone : That's enough.

  Manly : Go screw yourself, Leone!

  Frank Leone : You're gonna kill him!

  Manly : Yeah, one less mouth to feed; that's the fucking idea. Now sit on it!

  [Finally, Drumgoole motions for the guards to stand down; they leave a severely-pummeled and bleeding Dallas on the floor] 

  Warden Drumgoole : This is an automatic 10 years, Frank, for a second escape attempt. I knew you'd cross the line. I told them you were a hard-core criminal. They'll believe me now. And *you'd* better believe that you'll be a *guest of honor* here at Gateway, for the rest of your life. He's all yours, Mister Manly.

  Manly : Some dealmaker.

  [Manly deposits a groaning and barely-conscious Dallas in a drainage-pool] 

  Manly : See? Shit does floats, doesn't it?
