Paul Kellerman quotes from Prison Break

Kellerman

[to the Vice-President, about Quinn] You woke a sleeping beast when you called these guys in. They have a bigger agenda than any of us and they get real nasty, real quick if things don't go their way.

Kellerman

[Kellerman has brought Sara to a motel room, tied to a chair and gagged with a towel] I can imagine you feel a little betrayed right now. [ties Sara's legs together] Let's start over. As you can see... Hi, my name is not Lance and I am not an addict.

Kellerman

President Reynolds ruined your life, she ruined my life. You wanna take the bitch down? You just found your inside man but it's gotta be RIGHT NOW.

Kellerman

You have a habit of answering a question with a question.

And you have a way of asking questions that beg more questions.

I swear to God, it just gets deeper and deeper.

Kellerman

What's that supposed to mean?!

I'm saying that if I knew that this was how things were gonna turn out, I would have taken that crap job with the feds. Sitting by a desk all day drinking coffe and sharpening pencils. God, that sounds good.

Kellerman

Keep talking like that, I'll be forced to put a bullet in your head.

Kellerman

[to Sara] This really is like the best pie I’ve ever had. [pause] Do you know what it needs, though?

Sara

Hmm?

Kellerman

Some crack.

Sara

[laughs]

Kellerman

No... you know... not a lot... a pinch.

Sara

A pinch of crack?

Kellerman

A pinch of crack. A pinch of crack, a dollop of smack... mmm... that's good pie.

Sara

That's so wrong.

What does an origami bird have to do with any of this?

Kellerman

Michael Scofield sent it to her? And since your brilliant plan to eliminate Sara Tancredi from the equation failed so completely -

I wouldn't say it failed completely...

Kellerman

There's a dead woman in a phonebooth. Civilian. Certain number of bodies you can sweep under the rug. President's rug is getting so full you can barely stand on it.

Kellerman

So, where is it?

Sara

I don't know what you are talking about.

Kellerman

Where is it?

Sara

I don't know what you are talking about.

Kellerman

Where is it?

Sara

I don't know what you are talking about.

Kellerman

Sara, there is a next step involved in this and you don't want to experience that.

Sara

I swear to God I don't know what you are talking about. My father didn't give me anything. I don't know what you are talking about.

Kellerman

Who are you risking your life for? Lincoln Burrows. Street thug. And why is that your concern? I mean, is there somewhere in the Hippocratic Oath where it says, "I pledge to risk my life for those who don't care about mine" because they don't care about yours. Burrows and Michael Scofield? They just used you.

Sara

Are you surprised that there are people in the world that stand up to people like you? Are you that far gone?

Kellerman

That's cute. Sad... but cute.

Sara

Go to hell.

Kellerman

[pulls Sara's head down to the water] You know what? Drowning is horrific. Don't get me wrong but once you give in, you just let the water come into your lungs and there is a certain euphoria, I hear. I guess as a junkie, I thought maybe you'd appreciate that.

Give me one good reason why those brothers are still alive.

Kellerman

Bad day, Bill?

Sorry I thought this was someone who still existed. How's the jerky business, Owen?

Kellerman

Actually it's looking pretty good right about now.

Kellerman

What I'm about to divulge to you will, in all likelihood, get me killed. Actually, I guarantee it.

Then why are you doing it?

Kellerman

Because this was supposed to be about country, about loyalty, about what's right, but it wasn't, because I wronged people who should not have been wronged. Those orders were given by Caroline Reynolds who was Vice President at the time. Acting on those orders, I planted evidence, I procured a body, I lured Lincoln Burrows into that parking garage that evening under the auspices of a different hit. Ground up, we framed him. See, Lincoln Burrows get executed, people forget about Terrence Steadman, the controversy surrounding him and the Presidency, and nobody ever knows about The Company.

Yes, which is a shadowy cabal of corporations that pretty much influence everything that happens in this country. But I fail to see how any of this is relevant to Sara Tancredi and the fact that she aided and abetted, that she jumped bail--

Kellerman

She did so because she feared for her life, which was appropriate, as I had orders to kill her.

Kellerman

In the French Resistance, it was considered a high honor to face a Nazi firing squad--

I thought I told you to be quiet.

Kellerman

Meant you did your job. The highest honor was to smile when they shot you.

Kellerman

Took you long enough.

Sucre

[after signing a document ensuring his freedom] Can I keep the pen?

Kellerman

[laughing] Sure.
