Prison Break

‫(electric buzzing)

‫(sighs)

‫That's it.

‫Can I just, you know, ‫look at it for a minute?

‫You're an artist, Sid.

‫(sighs)

‫You're telling me ‫you're just gonna walk out of here

‫and I'm never going ‫to see it again?

‫There's a good chance ‫of that, yes.

‫Most guys, you know, ‫for the first one,

‫they start ‫with something small.

‫"Mom," girlfriend's initials, ‫something like that.

‫Not you.

‫You get a full set of sleeves, ‫all in a couple of months.

‫Takes guys a few years ‫to get the ink you got.

‫(sighing)

‫I don't have ‫a few years.

‫Wish to hell I did.

‫(sighs)

‫(grunts)

‫(woman screaming)

‫The vault. Open it.

‫We can't. The branch ‫manager's not here.

‫(baby crying)

‫-Where is he? ‫-It's lunchtime.

‫He's at White Castle.

‫White Castle?

‫It's a fast food restaurant.

‫They serve ‫those little square burgers.

‫I know what it is.

‫-(gunshots) ‫-(people screaming)

‫I'm not playing games.

‫Open it.

‫Sir, you have a half ‫a million dollars cash in your bag.

‫Don't you think ‫it would be better...

‫(siren wailing)

‫OFFICER: (over p.a.) ‫This is the police.

‫You are completely surrounded.

‫Put down your weapon.

‫Put down your weapons now.

‫JUDGE: Rarely in the case ‫of armed robbery

‫do we hear a plea ‫of no contest.

‫Are you sure about this, ‫Mr. Scofield?

‫I'm sure, Your Honor.

‫Your Honor, we'd like ‫to recess if we could.

‫My client's a bit confused ‫at the moment.

‫I'm not, Your Honor.

‫He is, Your Honor.

‫Perhaps you should heed ‫your representation's advice,

‫take some additional time ‫to consider your response.

‫I've already done that, ‫Your Honor.

‫I'll retire to my chambers ‫to determine sentencing.

‫-Court's recessed until 1:30. ‫-(gavel bangs)

‫Come on, let's go.

‫LJ: Uncle Mike?

‫I didn't want you to come.

‫Go home, LJ.

‫I didn't want you ‫to see this.

‫He's not gonna ‫take this well.

‫Can you blame him? ‫He's your nephew.

‫He's beginning ‫to get the idea

‫that anybody ‫he attaches himself to

‫is gonna ‫end up in prison...

‫And he's not the only one

‫who's starting to feel ‫that way, Michael.

‫Will you give us a minute?

‫One minute.

‫Don't you understand?

‫You just put the book ‫in that woman's hand

‫and she's gonna lob it ‫at you like a grenade.

‫Justice and punishment ‫are the same thing to her.

‫I know.

‫Then will you please tell me ‫what's going through your head?

‫We've been over this.

‫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?

‫You've been good to me.

‫My whole life, you have.

‫But you've gotta let me ‫deal with this.

‫Okay?

‫Given your lack ‫of prior criminal conduct,

‫I am inclined ‫toward probation.

‫However, the fact that ‫you discharged a deadly weapon

‫during the commission ‫of the crime suggests malice to me.

‫For that reason, ‫I find it incumbent

‫that you see the inside ‫of a prison cell, Mr. Scofield.

‫It says here ‫that you've requested to be incarcerated

‫somewhere near your home ‫here in Chicago.

‫I'm willing to honor that.

‫The closest ‫level one facility to--

‫Level one?

‫That's maximum security, ‫Your Honor.

‫I would ask counsel to refrain ‫from interrupting me.

‫As I was saying,

‫the closest ‫level one facility

‫would be Fox River ‫State Penitentiary.

‫As for the term ‫of your sentence,

‫I'm setting it ‫at five years.

‫You'll be eligible for parole ‫in half that time.

‫-Sentence to be carried out immediately. ‫-(gavel bangs)

‫MAN: Okay, step inside the door ‫and check yourself for bugs.

‫When you hear ‫the knock, step out.

‫Keep the line moving.

‫We ain't got all day ‫to get this done.

‫-GUARD 2: Let's go. Move it. ‫-GUARD 1: No more talking in line.

‫GUARD 2: Move it. You got less ‫than five minutes to take a shower.

‫GUARD 1: Keep the line moving. ‫Keep it moving.

‫-Move it. Right now. Let's go. Move, move. ‫-GUARD 1: Next!

‫(indistinct talking)

‫Name and back number.

‫Scofield, Michael.

‫94941.

‫Are you ‫a religious man, Scofield?

‫Never really ‫thought about it.

‫Good, 'cause ‫the Ten Commandments

‫don't mean ‫a box of piss in here.

‫We got two commandments ‫and two only.

‫The first commandment ‫is you got nothing coming.

‫What's the second commandment?

‫See commandment number one.

‫(clicks tongue) Gotcha.

‫You talking out the side ‫of your neck?

‫Come again?

‫I said, are you ‫being a smartass?

‫Just trying to fly low, ‫avoid the radar, boss.

‫Do my time... and get out.

‫There isn't any flying ‫under my radar.

‫Good to know.

‫(inmates talking indistinctly)

‫Hey, can a brother ‫get some air conditioning up here, cuz?

‫It's hotter than ‫a crack ho's mouth, man.

‫To hell with the AC, man. ‫Give me the crack ho.

‫(door buzzing)

‫MAN: Come on!

‫(inmates shouting indistinctly)

‫Yo, Fish!

‫What you looking at?

‫You look kind of pretty ‫to be up in here, man.

‫Fish!

‫I suggest you ‫take a seat, Fish.

‫Ain't nothing to do up in here ‫but serve time.

‫Ain't nobody ‫gonna serve it for you.

‫(screams)

‫(yelling and growling)

‫Welcome to ‫Prisneyland, Fish.

‫(indistinct announcement ‫over p.a.)

‫...is now ‫on mandatory lockdown...

‫-(yelling continues) ‫-(alarm buzzing)

‫You wanna talk ‫about it?

‫No, it's not ‫worth talking about.

‫If it's keeping you up, ‫it is.

‫Oh, it's just...

‫It's nothing, you know.

‫Michael's case.

‫You did the best you could.

‫Yeah, but he didn't.

‫He just sort of rolled over.

‫He didn't put up a fight.

‫It's not like him.

‫I'm sorry. I shouldn't ‫be talking about him.

‫Hey, if it's on your mind, ‫it's on your mind, right?

‫Good night.

‫MAN: (over p.a.) ‫All wings, guard coming out.

‫All wings, ‫guard coming out.

‫Trey Street Deuces ‫got the hoops.

‫Nortenos got the bleachers.

‫Woods got the weight pile.

‫The C.O.s got the rest.

‫I'm telling you, the guards ‫are the dirtiest gang in this whole place.

‫The only difference ‫between us and them...

‫is the badge.

‫Who's the pet lover?

‫SUCRE: He'll deny it, ‫but he's D.B. Cooper.

‫Parachuted out of a plane ‫30 years ago with a million and a half in cash.

‫Doesn't look ‫like the type.

‫Who does?

‫Hey! What up, Wholesale?

‫-You okay? ‫-Gonna be greater later.

‫Yeah.

‫What you doing ‫with this fish, man?

‫-He's my new cellie. ‫-Huh.

‫Wholesale's got it wired up ‫at the commissary.

‫Anything you want, ‫he can get it for you.

‫You keep ‫handing out my jacket,

‫I swear I'm gonna ‫bust your grape.

‫Man, you couldn't bust a grape in Napa ‫with a set of cleats on.

‫-What are you talking about? ‫-Man, you want to bump your gums.

‫SUCRE: Oh, no, no. Now you're ‫talking, talking, talking...

‫(arguing continues)

‫(steam hissing)

‫(water flowing)

‫I'm looking for someone.

‫Guy named Lincoln Burrows.

‫WHOLESALE: Linc the Sink?

‫That what ‫they're calling him now?

‫Yeah.

‫As in, he'll come at you ‫with everything but the kitchen...
