Quotes 

• [Lincoln sees Michael in prison for the first time] 

  Lincoln Burrows : Michael... Why?

  Michael Scofield : I'm getting you out of here.

  Lincoln Burrows : That's impossible.

  Michael Scofield : Not if you designed the place, it isn't.

• Lincoln Burrows : [Lincoln sits beside Michael on a bench in the locker area]  Did you mean what you said earlier?

  Michael Scofield : I'm not here on vacation. Trust me.

  Lincoln Burrows : Getting outside these walls is just the beginning. You're gonna need money.

  Michael Scofield : [Looking over at Westmoreland]  I'll have it.

  Lincoln Burrows : And people on the outside. People that can help you disappear.

  Michael Scofield : I've already got them.

  [He looks over at Abruzzi] 

  Michael Scofield : They just don't know it yet.

  Lincoln Burrows : [Looking confused]  Look. Whatever you got going on, fill me in, 'cause I'm in the dark here.

  Michael Scofield : [Smiling]  Schapelle Associates got the contract to retrofit this place in ninety-nine, four million dollar contract, head partner couldn't crack it. So he subcontracted out. An under the table sorta deal with a former associate. That guy was one of the partners in my firm. Who basically goes through the whole plan, crossed the t's dotted the i's, grouted the tiles.

  [He stands up] 

  Lincoln Burrows : [Realizing]  You've seen the blueprints.

  Michael Scofield : Better than that.

  [He pulls off his shirt, exposing the tattoo underneath] 

  Michael Scofield : I've got them on me.

  [Lincoln sits back, trying to understand] 

  Lincoln Burrows : Are you kidding me?

  [Michael smiles] 

  Lincoln Burrows : Am I supposed to be seeing something here?

  Michael Scofield : Look closer.

  [Lines appear on Michael's body, outlined to show certain blueprints of the prison. He turns around and again, the same thing happens with his back. The camera zooms in and shows the walls, and physical aspects depicted in the tattoo. This finally emerges out of the yard through the grate with the crane and the magazine in it] 

• Lincoln Burrows : I didn't kill that man, Michael.

  Michael Scofield : The evidence says you did.

  Lincoln Burrows : I don't care what the evidence says, I didn't kill him.

  Michael Scofield : Swear to me.

  Lincoln Burrows : I swear to you, Michael.

• Lincoln Burrows : You got a piece of the good life. Take advantage.
