Season 1- English,Fitz or Percy - Quotes
Welcome back!
- Kellerman: May I ask you a question, Warden? More of an observation, really. I was looking at the morgue photos from that boy, back at Toledo, Will Clayton. And, my lord, if he wasn’t the spitting image of his daddy. Apple fell real far from the tree with that one, didn’t it? Fell off the tree, fell all over the pavement.
- Nick: Well, we’re pissing someone off.
Veronica: You say that like it’s a good thing.
Nick: People start breaking the law, you know you’re getting warm.
- Pope: I’m assuming this is about your transfer request for Michael Scofield?
Kellerman: More specifically why you denied it.
Pope: Look, Mr. Kellerman, do I come into your house and tell you where to put your furniture?
- Michael: These are the guys we’re breaking out with.
Abruzzi: I don’t think so, Fish. That was not our agreement. I’m not gonna work with this crazy rhino.
Lincoln: Keep pushing it, John.
Abruzzi: Yeah, I keep pushing it, you know. Huh, what’s your deal man?
(Lincoln gets in Abruzzi’s face.)
Lincoln: Touch my brother again and I’ll show you.
Abruzzi: Brother? Your brother?
- Michael: Don’t believe everything you hear. I’m not going anywhere.
- Bellick: We got a runner!
- Dr. Tancredi: Fox River’s a small town, Lincoln. People around here don’t have a whole lot to do besides time and talk.
- Sucre: The Ricans, we got genetically higher blood pressure, you know that? My cousin, he died from too much stress.
Michael: Thought you said your cousin was moving in on your girl.
Sucre: That’s my other cousin. But thanks for bringing that up, jackass!
- Michael (prompting Sucre to provide cover so Michael can enter the tunnel): Don’t we have some laundry to do?
Sucre (washing clothes in the sink): Just to be clear, I’m not touching your drawers.
- Michael: It’s time.
Sucre: Time? Oh God, here we go again. Count’s in 15 minutes, what are you doing?
Michael: Trust me. The less you know, the better.
Sucre: The less I know? Man, you got me in the dark!
Michael: That’s exactly where you wanna be.
- Lincoln: You know I’d made my peace to what was coming then you show up and give me the one thing a man in my situation shouldn’t have: hope. And now that’s gonna be taken away…
Michael: Don’t do this, Linc.
Lincoln: I got three weeks. What do you want me to do?
(Michael has a flashback to when he and Lincoln were kids, after their mother’s funeral)
Young Lincoln: Come on, Michael. What do you want me to do?
Young Michael: Bring her back.
Young Lincoln: You know I can’t do that. But look - there’s some stuff that I can do. It’s not gonna be the same. But we’re gonna figure it out. And no matter what, it’s still gonna be me and you.
Young Michael: Ok, but what if something happens to you?
Young Lincoln: You just have a little faith.
(flashback ends)
Michael: Just have a little faith.
- Michael: The reason we’re all here today, is we have a decision to make. English, Fitz, or Percy. If we’re gonna pull this off, we need to take one of them out.
- Pope: Why do I get the feeling that there’s more to you than meets the eye, Scofield? Anything you want to tell me? Some other reason you’re in here besides holding up a bank? (pause) You’re being transferred.
Michael: What?
Pope: We’re moving you over to Statesville.
Michael: You can’t do that.
Pope: Yes I can. I’m the boss here. This is my house.
Michael: Three weeks.
Pope: What for?
Michael: Lincoln Burrows. He’s being executed in three weeks.
Pope: Well, I’m aware of that. What’s that to you?
Michael: He’s my brother.
- Michael: We’re not breaking out of a Jamba Juice, gentlemen. It’s gonna take a little more than digging a few holes. There are eyes, ears, dots that couldn’t be connected from the outside.
- Abruzzi: You know I have a real hard time trusting you, Fish.
Michael: The important thing is that we stay on schedule.
Abruzzi: Yeah, English, Fitz, or Percy?
Michael: English, Fitz, or Percy.
Abruzzi: You wanna know which one I think we should take out?
Michael: All due respect I don’t need opinions. I need answers.
- Michael: Look, the good news is I can get to the roof.
Sucre: So what happens now?
Michael: Now, it’s all about timing.
- Sara (about Michael): You close?
Lincoln: We were.
Sara: How ‘bout now?
Lincoln: Huh?
Sara: How ‘bout now.
Lincoln: (sighs) He’s been abandoned his whole life. Dad, mom - she died young. And now me.
Sara: Think that’s why he’s here? ‘Cause your…your death would feel like it’s happening again?
Lincoln: I abandoned him a long time ago. That’s why he’s here.
- Pope: What’s this prisoner doing out of his cell?
Office: He’s being transferred.
Pope: No, no, no, no there must be some kind of a mistake. This man filed a motion yesterday. He has a medical condition which precludes his transfer. Sinusitis, right?
Michael: Sinusitis.
Pope: Take the prisoner back to his cell. But yank his rec time, he missed count last night.
- Tancredi: I’m supposed to give you a physical this evening. Let me apologize in advance for the heavy dose of irony we’re about to participate in.
Burrows: It’s all right, just doing your job.
Tancredi: Yeah, well letting the State know that you’re healthy enough to execute is not why I went to medical school.
