- Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell: I'll protect you. All you gotta do is take this pocket right here and ya life'll be all peaches and cream. I walk, you walk with me. Keep real close now, so no one up in here can hurt you.
- Michael Scofield: [pointing to the inmate who is already holding on to the pocket] I see you already have a girlfriend
- Dr. Sara Tancredi: You seem nervous.
- Michael Scofield: I do?
- Dr. Sara Tancredi: You're sweating.
- Michael Scofield: Must be the needles. Never really got used to 'em.
- Dr. Sara Tancredi: Somehow with diabetes and that tattoo I find that hard to believe.
- Lincoln Burrows: It can't be done, Michael. No one's ever broken out of Fox River.
- Michael Scofield: Every single step's already been mapped out. Every contingency.
- Lincoln Burrows: Every contingency? You may have the blueprints to this place but there's one thing those plans can't show you - people. Guys like Abruzzi. You so much as look at these cats the wrong way, they'll cut you up.
- Michael Scofield: Far as the rest of these guys are concerned, I'm just another con, doin' his time. Stayin' out of trouble.
- Lincoln Burrows: You don't go lookin' for trouble in here, it just finds you!
- Michael Scofield: And when it does we'll be long gone.
- Lincoln Burrows: Now is not the time to be trusting a black inmate, Michael.
- Michael Scofield: Our relationship transcends race.
- Lincoln Burrows: Nothing transcends race in here.
- Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell: Maybe you're one of them milk chickens, all confused-like? White on the outside, black as tar on the inside. Maybe we ought to take a look at them insides and find out, huh?
- Charles "The Old Head" Westmoreland: [playing checkers and losing] You're anticipating every one of my moves three moves in advance. You're a hell of a strategist, fish.
- Michael Scofield: Do you ever think about Boston?
- Charles "The Old Head" Westmoreland: Sure.
- Michael Scofield: Think you'll ever see it again?
- Charles "The Old Head" Westmoreland: I'm a 60 year old man with 60 years left on my ticket. What do you think?
- Michael Scofield: I'm thinking about going.
- Charles "The Old Head" Westmoreland: Now, there's going and there's "going". Which one do you mean?
- Michael Scofield: The one you think I mean.
- Charles "The Old Head" Westmoreland: [smiles] Three days inside and he's already thinking about turning rabbit. It'll pass, it always does.
- Charles "The Old Head" Westmoreland: Bigger things to worry about at the moment. I've been in here long enough to know it when I see it - the calm before the storm. Whites and blacks will be going at each other real soon here. Everybody chooses sides and a lot of guys bleed.
- Michael Scofield: There a reason?
- Charles "The Old Head" Westmoreland: Same reason you don't put cats and dogs in the same cage - they don't get along.
- Inmate: You best speak with respect, fish. Man kidnapped half a dozen boys and girls down in 'bama, raped and killed 'em. Wasn't always in that order either.
- Michael Scofield: Does this T-Bag have a name?
- Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell: [walks up] That is my real name.
- [Michael stands to leave]
- Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell: No, no, no please, sit. So you're the one I've been hearing all the rave reviews about. Scofield! Well, one thing's for sure, you just as pretty as advertised. Prettier even.
- Leticia Barris: Crab didn't use! He had a bad heart! If he touched the stuff, it'd kill him. I mean, dont' you think it's the slightest coincidence that he ODed a week after your boyfriend's crime? They killed him. 'Cause he knew things. Things they didn't want to get out.
- Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell: [Taunting Michael from inside his cell] You in there, pretty? I know you're there. Just wanted you to know that I'm coming for you. You've got nowhere to run. You're trapped in that little hole of yours. Trapped like a pig...
- [whispers]
- Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell: ... that I'm gonna slaughter...
- John Abruzzi: This little polka that you and I have been dancing for awhile... as of right now, it's over. Fibonacci. I want to know how you got to him and where he is right now.
- Michael Scofield: It's not going to happen, John.
- John Abruzzi: [nods] We'll see.
- Captain Brad Bellick: You're 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.
- Warden Henry Pope: [after a riot] I really don't know what to say to you, gentlemen. I try to give you the benefit of the doubt. I try to treat you with respect. You can't even respect yourselves. So, there's going to be a 48-hour lockdown. No mess, no showers, no visitation. And I strongly suggest that you all learn to get along. Otherwise, the next time it's gonna be a week, and the time after that it's gonna be a month. Think about it.
