Quotes 

• Captain Brad Bellick : I thought you said you were gonna have a conversation with him.

  John Abruzzi : [holding Michael's severed toes]  Yeah, I did. Things, uh... escalated.

• John Abruzzi : [after elbowing T-Bag hard in the face]  Ah, he talks too much.

• John Abruzzi : [Cut to the line heading back to the block. Michael gets pushed out of the line and into a side room by Gus. He looks around, worried]  Easy now, Fish, don't make this any harder than it needs to be.

  [He stands with his back to Michael. He turns around] 

  John Abruzzi : It's time we came to an arrangement, don't you think?

  [T-Bag steps out from behind him and looks up] 

  Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell : [Smiling]  You know, I was thinkin' I was gonna cut you bile to stern soon as I laid eyes on you, but a lack-a day, you look so pretty when you're scared, don't you?

  [He turns to Abruzzi] 

  Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell : Maybe we ought to get the love out of the way before we move onto the hate.

  [He turns back to Michael] 

  Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell : What do you say to that, Pretty?

  [He licks his lips] 

  Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell : Hmm? Yeah... yeah, maybe it's time I lit up that leather once and for all.

  [He puts the shank down on a wall. As soon as he's unarmed, Abruzzi elbows him hard in the face. Michael shields his face with his arm. Abruzzi fights T-Bag off and his group incapacitate him. Abruzzi turns back to Michael] 

  John Abruzzi : Ahh, he talks too much.

  [He grabs the back of Michael's head and pulls it toward him] 

  John Abruzzi : You and I need to have a conversation.

  [They walk back into the line] 

  John Abruzzi : What happened in there was my way of saying uh, I know I've been coming about this whole thing the wrong way.

  [CO's rush to the room where T-Bag lays] 

  John Abruzzi : I'm trying to make amends here. Bygones for bygones.

  [He holds out his hand] 

  Michael Scofield : You're a mercurial man, John.

  John Abruzzi : I prefer bold.

  [He laughs and walks forward] 

  John Abruzzi : [They walk out past the yard]  Tell me what you need from me.

  Michael Scofield : A trade. You get me a plane, I'll get you Fibonacci.

  John Abruzzi : What do you need a plane for?

  Michael Scofield : I think you know.

  John Abruzzi : I help you, I'm in. You know that, don't you?

  Michael Scofield : I do.

  [Abruzzi nods] 

  John Abruzzi : I just gotta know the exact date and time.

  Michael Scofield : I'll tell you soon enough.

  John Abruzzi : Soon enough ain't gonna cut it. I need to be outside these walls before Fibonacci testifies.

  Michael Scofield : You will be.

  John Abruzzi : He testifies in one month.

  Michael Scofield : Then we'll be out in plenty of time.

  John Abruzzi : If not, you're a corpse. So you'd better cut the crap and tell me the exact date and time so I can start making the arrangements.

  Michael Scofield : I don't know if I can trust you with that information yet.

  John Abruzzi : Why not?

  Michael Scofield : Like I said, John, you're a mercurial man.

• John Abruzzi : Got an issue with our little friend over there?

  Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell : I don't gotta come to you. You don't give the green light.

  John Abruzzi : Everything in here runs through me, you know that.

  Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell : Maytag's in the ground because of that piece of detritus.

  John Abruzzi : So now you want him.

  Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell : Every day, for the rest of his bid.

  John Abruzzi : Seems you and I have something in common, then.

• Philly Falzone : This is what I don't understand, John. Fibonacci fingers you. He puts you in prison for life. Yet you act like you don't even want to find out where he is.

  John Abruzzi : That's not true, Philly.

  Philly Falzone : Maybe it's because you think you don't have anything left to lose anymore. You know, you're already locked up.
