- That's it. - Can I just, you know, look at it for a minute? - You're an artist, Sid. - 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.
- No more talking in line. - Move it. You got less than five minutes to take a shower. - Keep the line moving. Keep it moving. Move it. Right now. - Let's go. Move, move. - Next! - Next down in the banks, dress. Let's go. - 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. - 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. - Hey, can a brother get some air conditioning up here, coach? - It's hotter than a crack ho's mouth, man. - To hell with the A.C., man. Give me the crack ho. - Come on! - 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. - Welcome to Prisneyland, Fish. - 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. - 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? - 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. - Wholesale's got it wired up out of 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. - Oh, no, no. Now you're talking, talking, talking... - I'm looking for someone. - Guy named Lincoln Burrows. - Linc the Sink? - That what they're calling him now? - Yeah. - As in, he'll come at you with everything but the kitchen... Snowflake. - Where can I find him? - Man killed the vice- president's brother. - and in a month, he's getting the chair, - which means no one up this river is more dangerous than him, - 'cause he's got nothing to lose now. - What are they gonna do? Kill him twice? - There a way I can get to him? - Oh, no. The only time those boys get out is for chapel and P.I. - You get a full set of sleeves, all in a couple of months. - Takes guys a few years to get the ink you got. - I don't have a few years. - Wish to hell I did. - The vault. Open it. - We can't. The branch manager's not here. - 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. - 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...? - This is the police. You are completely surrounded. - Put down your weapon. - Put down your weapon now. - 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. - Come on, Let's go. - 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 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. - All right, people, 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.
