Michael Scofield quotes from Prison Break

Veronica

You want to know what the 90 grand was for?

Michael

I think I do.

Veronica

You!

Michael

What do you mean?

Veronica

The money you got when you were 18, from your mother's life insurance, the money that paid for your degree, that got you this job, that bought you your loft. Your mother never had life insurance, that money came from Lincoln.

Michael

How?

Veronica

He borrowed it, knew it'd be tough to pay back, but that didn't matter because he thought you deserved it. He also knew you'd never accept it if you knew it came from him. Michael, you are where you are because of your brother.

Michael

You're telling me... he is where he is because of me.

Michael

[as they are about to kiss, the phone rings] I'm sorry.

Veronica

What? [looks at phone and sees Lincoln's name] You gonna answer it?

Michael

He'll leave a message, he always does.

Michael

They didn’t even let her testify.

Lincoln

Who?

Michael

Leticia Berris, and that cop changed his story a dozen times.

Lincoln

What part of move on don't you get?

Michael

After Mom died, when it was just you and me, I remember having trouble sleeping, never knowing where you were, but when I'd wake up in the morning there'd be this paper bird, an origami crane sitting next to my bed and I never knew what it meant exactly, but I figured it was your way of letting me know you were checking in on me. Anyway... I looked it up, the crane, stands for familial obligation, watching out for your own. Maybe it's my turn to watch out for you.

Michael

Linc, I owe you an apology.

Lincoln

For what?

Michael

The night you called, if we'd talked, maybe I could have stopped...

Lincoln

Hey, hey, hey, this isn’t your fault.

Michael

Then whose is it?

Lincoln

Listen up, you need to forget about this, move on, work hard, do what you do.

Michael

I can’t do that.

Lincoln

Oh yes you can, and you will.

Michael

So... same time tomorrow?

Lincoln

They're.. um.. transferring me to a prison, where I'll wait until they execute me.

Michael

Can I still visit?

Lincoln

Yeah, not that far... a place called Fox River.

Michael

Fox River?

Lincoln

Yeah... why?

Michael

Nothing.

Michael

I need for you to draw the picture for me.

Haywire

Who are you?

Haywire

It's the pathway to hell.

Michael

No it's not, it's just the opposite.

Haywire

I remember.

Michael

Sara... I need you to do something for me.

Sara

What?

Michael

Wait for me... it won't always be like this. In this room, in this place.

Sara

Until then, I can't... we can't... damn it... I can't... and I gotta go.

Michael

Not quite.

Sucre

You working your game on her, or what?

Michael

How are you?

Sara

I'm fine, you?

Michael

Fine.

Here they are.

Sara

Here what are?

Your keys. They were right over there by your endbox. You got a maintenance guy waiting outside here said you wanted to change the locks. You want me to call him off?

Sara

[she glares at Michael] No, send him in.

Is it okay if I...

Sara

Yeah, we're about done here. [Michael looks worried] Is there something wrong?

Sara

I think I have a pretty good idea. We're done here.

Michael

I'm glad you're back.

Abruzzi

I'm surprised you're still here, I thought you'd be gone by now.

Abruzzi

Still planning on it?

Michael

That depends. How does the idea of escaping sit with the new you?

Abruzzi

Oh, the old sinner who was confined to these walls, he's dead. The new soul deserves to be free.

Michael

Well, the old sinner was going to have a jet ready for us. Is the new soul going to be able to pull that off?

Sara

I was part of your plan. Was it all an act?

Sara

Right.

Michael

And it's killing me to know that you'll never believe that. Whatever you may think of me, this is about Lincoln. Don't make him pay for my mistakes.

Sucre

This jacket isn't exactly the best thing, you know what I'm saying?

Michael

You want variety? Hit Target.

Lincoln

Man, it's quiet out here. Inside, there was always noise, you know? Someone yelling, guards making rounds... I got used to it.

Michael

You're right. We should go back.

Michael

Breaking out was just the beginning, now it gets a little more interesting.

Lincoln

Mmm hmm. 'Cos me being strapped into an electric chair wasn't interesting enough.
