Quotes 

• [at the press conference] 

  FBI Special Agent Alexander Mahone : I'd like to, uh, talk about John Wilkes Booth for a moment, if I could, Abraham Lincoln's killer. Twelve days. That's how long it took to find him. In his journal during this period he wrote that the shadow was his friend, the night his domain. He acknowledged that whatever neurosis drove the criminal to commit the original crime is compounded. Magnified by flight. By the sounds of dogs at his heels. Fear becomes paranoia, paranoia ultimately psychosis. I bring this up because in one hundred and forty years, the fundamental mind of the escape man has not changed. The escape man is still human, he is still afraid, and he will stop at nothing in his attempt at flight. Fortunately for us, while our quarry has shadow and night as his ally, we have something far greater. Television. I would encourage everyone who is watching. Everyone in this country, to take a good look at these faces...

  [the mug shots of the escapee's are pinned to a board beside him] 

  FBI Special Agent Alexander Mahone : These men, right here, are now the eight most wanted men in America.

• Mr. Ives : Schweitzer was the plumbing company that made the toilet Scofield took off to get out of his cell. Allen bolt was the fitting.

  [Mahone exhales, laughing shortly] 

  FBI Special Agent Alexander Mahone : It's all here, isn't it? It's amazing.

• FBI Special Agent Alexander Mahone : Mr. Bellick!

  Captain Brad Bellick : Don't talk to me.

  FBI Special Agent Alexander Mahone : Fine, but it's going to make collaboration kinda hard.

  Captain Brad Bellick : Collaboration? I've got men out here in harms way and you're giving press conferences.

  FBI Special Agent Alexander Mahone : The press is a tool. They'll bring those men back quicker than bloodhounds will.

  Captain Brad Bellick : We don't need you. We're hot on these guys' trail and it's just a matter of time til we nail them.

• FBI Special Agent Alexander Mahone : The escaped man is still human. He is still afraid, and he will stop at nothing in his attempt at flight.

• Captain Bradley 'Brad' Bellick : We don't need you. We're hot on these guys' trail, and it's just a matter of time 'til we nail them.
