Michael Scofield quotes from Prison Break

Lincoln

The car could blow any second, Michael.

Michael

Well, the Feds are going to be here in about two minutes. If it doesn't look like we're dead, we will be. Rock, paper, scissors?

Michael

Linc!

Lincoln

It's my turn.

Sara

[answers her cell phone] Hello.

Michael

Sara. It's me.

Sara

[walks away from Kellerman] What do you want?

Michael

I don't have time to talk and there's every chance that they're listening to this call right now, but there's a lot I want to say. Please don't hang up on me.

Sara

I don't...I don't want to talk to you.

Michael

[rest forehead against the wall] I heard about...I heard about what happened, and I want you to know...I want you to know how sorry I am for everything.

Sara

Sorry's not going to do me a whole lot of good with what I'm up against right now.

Michael

Listen, anyone with any ties to me and my brother is in danger now.

Sara

I have no ties to you and your brother anymore.

Michael

There's a way I can protect you. It's already in your possession.

Sara

[running her hands through her hair] What are you talking about?

Michael

It was real, Sara. You and me, it's real [pause and then hangs up].

Sara

Michael? [Kellerman looks up]

Michael

Tell me that’s not what I know it is.

T-Bag

Oh it is. But don't worry. Before I destroyed it I committed it to my photographic memory. I would have tattooed it to my body but I didn’t have the time.

T-Bag

Don't you feel all warm inside now that we're all working together?

Michael

We're not working together. You're just here to lend a hand.

Lincoln

Before or after Sheep Road?

Michael

What's the matter, Theodore, did you forget?

T-Bag

How could I forget a road called Sheep?

Lincoln

The ranch is gone Michael.

Michael

Well the 5 million may not be.

T-Bag

And you gonna find it how? What, you got a divining rod tattooed on your ass?

Michael

I DON'T WANNA HEAR ANYTHING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH OTHER THAN WHAT YOUR PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY SPITS OUT REGARDING THAT MAP!

T-Bag

You watch your tone with me, boy.

Michael

I'll watch you get tossed to the side of the road to fend for yourself, boy. Because if you can't remember where that silo was, you're worthless to us.

Michael

You see these 2 trees? They’re shorter than the rest. They were all planted at the same time. But those 2 didn’t get as much sunlight.

Lincoln

Something was in their way.

Michael

The silo. Our money should be right there, under that garage.

T-Bag

You better be right, boy.

Michael

This isn’t a high end subdivision. They slapped this place up overnight. The silo’s foundations might still be there. To save money they probably just laid that concrete for the garage floor right on top of it. We’ll dig straight down. If we hit the foundation, we stay. If not, we go.

A systems what?

Michael

Its a systems diagnostics test. Footage from our gopher's cam picked up exactly where your line was... corrupted.

And who corrupted it? You guys?

Michael

Maybe. All I know is that my supervisor called and said that he wants me and my crew to get over here and fix that problem double quick, double time.

So, you're not with the electric company?

Michael

No, ma'am. Now feel free to call your company, but I should tell you all they'll do is send over some tech. Maybe tomorrow, if you're lucky. And he'll spend a whole day trying to find the problem and another day trying to fix it. But we're here right now. And we're ready to turn your juice back on.

[interested] My juice?

Michael

That's right.

Michael

Well as always your timing is flawless

C-Note

I don't follow.

Michael

Lemme try and explain it to you. We're trying to run something here. We can't have people walking in from the street.

C-Note

Oh! Oh ok, so you want us to leave and then you can just mail us the check?

Michael

[walking over to Sucre] Sucre, I know you trust me. And you know I'll cut you in on that money. But the two of you being here right now jeopardizes everything.

Sucre

I'm not going nowhere. I want my share of the money.

C-Note

Ok man, hold on man. Ain't we did this dance before? Y'know I say I want in. You say no. Then I threaten to tell somebody about what's going on here. And then you decide to play nice and we're one big happy family! Why don't we just stop wasting time, alrite?

Michael

Why couldn't it just be a silo? In the middle of a field with no one around?

Lincoln

Figure it out. We can get the money another way.

Michael

Yeah, maybe I can rob another bank. You know what Charles once said to me? He said there's no such thing as an ex-con. Because I used to think there was a way we could wipe the slate clean. Make up for everything we've done. The hat's over the wall, Linc. For everyone.

Lincoln

Since when did we become kidnappers? That ain't right.

Michael

Well, we can buy a conscience tomorrow.

Lincoln

Well yeah, closing your eyes ain't gonna make it go away.

Michael

I'll take 5 minutes of a situation I can control over 50 years of one I can't any day.

Lincoln

You can still come with me.

Michael

No, I can do this.

Lincoln

And if you can't?

Michael

Then we still meet up. Exactly where we planned.

Lincoln

Bolshay Booze.

Michael

Bolshoi.

Lincoln

Bolshoi. L.J's gonna be with me.

Michael

You remember how to get there?

Lincoln

How can I forget?

Michael

Thursday night. 6 o clock. It's our last shot. If we do this right, we're gone - forever.

Lincoln

Lotta ground to cover in 3 days.

Michael

Lotta ground.

Lincoln

All right. Take care. [hugging Michael]

Michael

They'll be gunning for you. They'll get you any way they can so...

Lincoln

Yup!

Michael

Tell L.J. Tell him I said there'll be a surf board with his name on it.

Lincoln

Nice.

Michael

So this is how its gonna go down. After everything? Once a thief always a thief.

Sucre

You just figuring that out?

Sucre

Look Michael, I understand if you have to keep going, you know?

Michael

Just shut up. I'm not going anywhere.

Sucre

No, no, just think about it -

Michael

You know, if I leave, you drown.

Sucre

No, I know I just...

Michael

The water level's getting higher, Sucre. How many seconds can you hold your breath? 45? 60? That’s how long you’ve got to live if I take off.

Sucre

How long have you got if you stay? How long ‘til the dogs lead the cops to you?

Michael

What you're suggesting is not an option.

Sucre

Look, I ain’t tryin’ to be a hero or nothin’. We both know there’s only two things that can happen now. Leave me here, or we both get caught.

Sucre

They say people come into your life for a reason. Maybe my reason was to help you get out of Fox River, you know? To help you save your brother.

Michael

No

Sucre

Its okay, Papi. Let me go.
