John Abruzzi
- 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: [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.
