[to Michael] Suggest you take seat, Fish. Nothing to do up here but serve time--and nobody gonna serve it for you.
S1 E1Pilot
There isn't any flying under my radar.
Good to know.
You a religious man, Scofield?
Never really thought about it.
Good. Because the Ten Commandments don't mean a box of piss in here.
I've known you my entire life, you don't have a violent bone in your body. And I know you didn't need the money.
Veronica.
Why won't you let me help you?
Veronica. You've been good to me -- my whole life -- you have. But you've got to let me deal with this. Okay?
What if they'd sent you to Taylorville or Marion and not here?
I think I'd be doing the same thing I'm doing in here. Eating Jell-O, drinking Kool-Aid.
I'm not asking you to love me, I already screwed that chance up long ago. I'm asking you to love yourself. You still can put the break on this thing.
LLJ
So, that's what fatherly advice is like? (LJ stands up)
(looking at LJ) Where are you going?
LLJ
(to Lincoln) I got homework.
They're putting me to death, L.J. In a month's time I'll be dead. You get that?
LLJ
You're already dead to me.
S1 E2Allen
You're in the old man's back pocket, are you? I got news for you fish, he may run this place during the day, but I run it during the night.
IInmate
You best speak with respect, Fish. Man kidnapped half a dozen boys and girls down in 'bama, raped and killed 'em all. Wasn't always in that order either.
Does T-Bag have a real name?
[walks up] That is my real name. [Michael gets up] No, no, no please, sit. So you're the one I've been hearing all the rave reviews about. Scofield! One thing's for sure, you're just as pretty as advertised. Prettier even.
You ever think about Boston?
Sure.
Think you'll ever see it again?
I'm a sixty year old man with sixty years still left on my ticket. What do you think?
I'm thinking of going.
Well there's going, and then there's going. Which one do you mean?
The one you think I mean.
Keep your friends close, your enemies closer..!
S1 E3Cell Test
[Two CO's are carrying Michael to the infirmary. They come out of an elevator and then ask for someone to help Michael]
CCO
We need some help here! [They rush him in through the hall till they find Sara]
Take him up in the three. Katie I'm gonna need ten cc's of xylocaine. [The CO's bring Michael into the infirmary and help him to seat in the stretcher. He's almost crying and covers his eyes to hide it. Sara puts her gloves on and looks at the CO's]
Thanks guys, I'll take him from here. [They hesitate. Sara looks them again firmly] I said 'Thank you, I'll take him from here'. [One of the CO's threws Michael's boot to the floor]
CCO
Let's go. [They leave. Michael's foot is cover with a sock and and is bleeding badly. Sara looks the CO's leaving and then she turns to Michael]
Ok, let's take a look at you. [Michael is finally crying. Sara is about to remove the bleeding sock but Michael stops her] You're Ok, you're ok. [Michael sees that two of his toes have been cut off a big tear escapes from his eyes, then he lays back in the stretcher covering his eyes with his hands]
What happened?
[Sara comes out the infirmary room to talk with Bellick, he start walking off, she follows him. He stops and takes off his cap to speak to her]
I think you'd better have I.A. start an investigation. [Offering him a report. He doesn't take it]
Oh, there's no need. We know what happened.
[Ironic] Uh, perhaps you'd be good enough to enlighten me?
There was a pair of gardening shears left on the floor of the shed. Evidently, he stepped on them.
Blade went right through his boot huh?
Yeah.
So, uh, why wasn't the boot still on his foot?
[Bellick smiles at her frigidly]
Like a said, doc. We've got it taken care. [Puts his cap on again and talks to the CO's] Let's go.
[Inside the infirmary room. Michael is sitting on the stretcher, and Sara is on her seat, just in front of him]
[Putting a sticking plaster on the fresh bandage] No redness or swelling, so it's no sign of infection. I’ll keep you on antibiotics for the next ten days. [Michael is looking at his foot, serious] You should be good. [She looks up to Michael and gets up walking to a desk next to the door] Michael, you understand by law I'm obligated to file a report if I feel there's been prisoner misconduct? [Sara looks at him. Michael's still serious. Putting his sock on, slowly] There's no way this injury happened by stepping on a blade in a garden shed.
If you fill a report things could get a lot worse for me.
They're not already?
Not compared to what they could be. [Sara looks down. He smiles] I've made some enemies.
[Sara breaths and look at him again, worried]
Yeah... Scared?
[He looks at her]
Men. OK. Here’s what I think. I think you are scared and you wouldn’t be human if you weren’t scared in a place like this.
When I was young, I couldn’t sleep at night because I thought there was a monster in the closet. But my brother told me there wasn’t anything in the closet but fear. And fear wasn’t real. He said it wasn’t made of anything just…air. Not even that. He said you just have to face it. You just have to open that closet and the monster would disappear.
Brother sounds like a smart man.
He is. In here though, you face your fear, you open that door and there’s a hundred more doors behind it. And the monsters that are hiding behind them are all real.
If you want, I could recommend you be sent to Ad-Seg.
[Gets up] With the rape victims and the snitches.
[Still trying to convince him to take care of himself] It would keep you safe.
Thanks, but I think I'd like to face the monsters on my own.
[He leaves. Sara looks away, worried]
Are you crazy? You think I wanna break out of here? Sixteen months from now I’m out the gate. I’m getting married, Papi, and I sure as hell ain’t doin it with a posse on my ass. Man I oughta beat you six days till Sunday. I lost my conjugals because of your little parcel.
I had to test you. See if you could keep a secret.
You want a secret, well I got a secret for you, fish. You dig in my cell when I’m there and I’m gonna split your wig. [walks off]
That went well.
Preparation will only take you so far. After that you got to take a few leaps of faith.
