T-bag: Been doing a little, uh, thinking. I m gonna need a PI card, aren t I? I mean that s where this whole thing is happening, isn t it?
Abruzzi: It s on its way.
T-bag: You re slow-walking me, aren t you?
Abruzzi: Why would I do such a thing?
T-bag: You think Bellick s gonna pop me for shanking that C.O. Bob. Maybe you ll take a little walk and tell him for yourself, right? Then, I ll be out of your hair for good. Well, I got news for you. If I go down for killing1 Bob, believe me, I m gonna take a little walk of my own. Tell them about that hole you got behind your toilet. So... how about that PI card?
L.J.: I don t know if you remember, but that summer before fifth grade, when I stayed with you a couple weeks, and you thought I broke your glass coffee table...
Lincoln: Uh-huh.
L.J.: And when you came home, I denied it. But you told me you could care less about the coffee table. You just didn t want me lying to you. And you said I d feel a lot better if I just told you the truth. And you promised not to be angry.
Lincoln: I remember.
L.J.: Well, I broke it.
Lincoln: I know.
L.J.: You know, if there s anything that you want to get off your chest, you can tell me. And I promise I won t get angry.
C.O.: What the hell are you doing here?
Abruzzi: Clean up detail.
Michael: We thought this was storage.
C.O.: This look like storage to you, you idiot? It s a restricted area! It s the C.O. s break room. Now back it up! Back it up, now!
Abruzzi: Sorry. Won t happen again.
Sucre: Frickin break room. Are you kidding me?
Michael: They must have changed it since the retrofit.
Sucre: The bulls are camped out in there. They ll never leave.
Abruzzi: You got a backup plan?
Michael: There isn t one. It s the only room sitting on top of that pipe. It s the only way out, and we ve gotta get back in there.
Michael: That s impossible, Fish.
Lincoln: Maybe not. Check it out.
Sucre: I don t get it. How come they let him to the guard s room?
Lincoln: He s a trustee, ones with a high security clearance2.
Sucre: Why him?
Lincoln: He can be trusted.
Michael: How does one become a trustee?
Lincoln: Just have a spotless record for the last 30 years.
Sucre: Pretty much count s all of us out.
Michael: Which means we ve gotta get him on board.
Lincoln: Forget it. The guy s a Boy Scout3.
Michael: Mr. Westmoreland?
Westmoreland: Hey, Michael.
Michael: Have you found your cat yet?
Westmoreland: Still M.I.A.
Michael: You can always get another.
Westmoreland: I don t want another. Besides, it s a moot4 point. She was grandfathered. Once she s gone, no more pets.
Michael: Wouldn t be an issue if you were on the outside.
Westmoreland: Still tugging5 on that leash6, eh?
Michael: Yup. And this is the part where I extend a formal invitation.
