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.
