Sara: Hey Bruce
Bruce: Oh hi, Sara

Sara: We had the votes, right?
Bruce: Super majority.

Agent Mahone: Are you Catholic?
Agent Mahone: Not much good on it. Lot of guilt. But the one good thing is confession. Whatever you got eat in on you, you just give it up. Feels good I have to say, guess is letting it out, letting another human being hear.
Tweener: I have nothing to say, man.
Agent Mahone: What if I told you something, secret nobody else knows. Oscar Shales. Guy I was chasing a few years back. Smart as hell. I kept just missing him. Became kind of a game like chess. Would have almost been fun if it wasn't for the fact that he were killing people all along the way. Bodies kept stacking up and I started to feel that it was because of me because I couldn't do my job, because I wasn't smart enough. Never did catch him, but I did lose it. Saw things when I was driving at night. Bodies. Nightmares to the point that I couldn't sleep. It was a complete break from reality.
Agent Mahone: That's what these little guys are for. Keep me in the game. So now you know. Now it's off my chest. Oughta try it sometime.
Tweener: Like I said before, I ain't gonna tell you nothing.
Agent Mahone: We were talking about confession earlier and I think I owe you an apology because I lied to you about Oscar Shales. Smart-ass just kept pushing it. I snapped. Right there.
Agent Mahone: That's where I put the bullet in him.
Tweener: I don't care about none of this.
Agent Mahone: The thing about that is that forensics will tell the whole tale. Powder burns. The gun was right against his head.
Tweener: Yo, sir. I think we should go back in...
Agent Mahone: See that's what's good about confession. You know, because you say something, you get it off your chest and it just goes out there into the whole world and I'm so sorry about this kid because I really hope you understand.

Sucre: How long have you got if you stay? How long ‘til the dogs lead the cops to you?
Michael: What you're suggesting is not an option.

Agent Mahone: Pam, I really can't talk right now.
Michael: Maybe I should call back.
Agent Mahone: Who is this?
Michael: I think you already know.
Agent Mahone: If you've done anything to Pam or my boy...
Michael: We both know your family's fine, although Pam did seem a little upset about you leaving. But then you had to, didn't you? Because you couldn't let her find out.
Agent Mahone: Find out about what?
Michael: Oscar Shales. You remember? The one that got away. Except he didn't get too far, did he?
Agent Mahone: Ah, you're slippin' Scofield.
Michael: Maybe. Let's hypothesize for a moment. Let's pretend I was the one who caught Shales. I don't think I could've just handed that psychopath over to the court. Not after he'd eluded me for so long. Made me look bad.
Agent Mahone: You been out in the sun way too long, boy.
Michael: You feds make a nice living. But not so nice you go around tearing up expensive sod. Not unless you had to do a little digging. Not unless you had to hide something. Or someone. That's what all the lye was about, wasn't it? See because there are two kinds of lye. In small amounts the first one can be a gardener's best friend. In large bags the other kind decomposes bodies.
Agent Mahone: Ah, you should write mystery novels.
Michael: I don't know about you, but if I'd buried someone in my own backyard, I'd think about it all the time. I'd think... I'd think maybe I should move that body. But then I'd remember that DNA leaches into soil. So even when the body was gone the proof of what I'd done would still be there. I can imagine how it feels. The pressure. The constant fear. Its more than a man can bear. I'm giving you a chance. Back off. Let me and my family disappear. And in return, I'll keep your little secret. How does that sound?
Michael: Maybe I should call back.
