- I'm getting you out of here.
- Burrows, roll it up. Happy hour's over.
- It's impossible.
- Not if you design the place it isn't.
- Too formal.
- Too greeting card.
- We gotta make a decision sooner or later, you know.
- We have time;
- We don't, actually.
- I mean, at some point, we gotta pull the trigger on this thing.
- I don't want to rush this.
- We're only going to do it once. We have to get it right.
- Honey, can I ask you something?
- Of course.
- Are you putting this off?
- What do you mean?
- I mean, are you having second thoughts?
- No. Honey, no.
- I'm not.
- I don't know.
- I just can't help thinking this is about...
- It's not.
- I love you...
- and I want to be your wife.
- Passion? What were you thinking?
- Hey, you went for it.
- She probably thinks I went sissy up in here.
- "Passion." Got more than one syllable, too much talkin'.
- That's me from now on.
- One- syllable Sucre.
- Yes. No. Love. Hate. Love.
- - Give it time.
- Are you kidding?
- I proposed to her.
- That doesn't take time. Si or no. One syllable, man.
- She's supposed to come around for a conjugal on Tuesday.
- She's always calling me beforehand, letting me know she's coming.
- This time, man, I ain't heard a peep.
- You spooked her.
- Scofield... get it together. Pope wants to see you.
- No good, Fish.
- No one gets an audience with the Pope.
- Not unless he's real interested in what you got going on.
- Top of your class at Loyola.
- Magna cum laude, in fact.
- I can't help wondering what someone with your credentials
- is doing in a place like this.
- Took a wrong turn a few months back, I guess.
- You make it sound like a traffic infraction.
- Like all you did was turn the wrong way up a one- way street.
- Everyone turns up one sooner or later.
- The reason I called you here...
- I noticed in your I- file, under occupation,
- you put down 'unemployed.'
- That's not true, now, is it?
- I know you're a structural engineer, Scofield.
- Shah Jahan built the Taj Majal as a
- monument to his undying love for his wife.
- My wife is quite fond of the story.
- Being married to someone in Corrections...
- terrible job.
- Wouldn't wish it on anyone.
- And yet, in 39 years my wife has never complained.
- And the worst part about it is, I've never thanked her.
- So, because I couldn't say it,
- I thought, you know, I could build it.
- Come June, it's our 40th anniversary.
- But here, look...
- you see, the problem is...
- I build anymore,
- it's all gonna come down like a house of cards.
- That's where I was hoping you could be of assistance.
- For the favor, I can offer you three days of work a week in here.
- And it'll keep you off the yard.
- I can't do it.
- Son, it's better for me to owe you one in here than it is for you to owe me one,
- I can promise you that.
- I'll take my chances.
- Then we're through here.
- Guard!
- Two pounds of pot?
- What were you trying to do, set a record?
- It's not funny, LJ. You could be going to jail.
- It's pretty obvious to me you need some guidance.
- Hey.
- Thanks.
- From who, old Daddy Warbucks?
- Give him a chance. He's a good man.
- We got nothing in common.
- Where is this coming from, LJ?
- Last semester you were getting almost all A's and now...
- It's your father, isn't it?
- I don't have a father.
- It wasn't an immaculate conception, honey. Trust me.
- Maybe it's time we went and saw him.
- Mom...
- Ma...
- Don't.
- I'm about as excited by the prospect as you are,
- but something's gotta give.
- You have got too much potential to be screwing up your life like this.
- What if they'd sent you to Taylorville or Marion and not here?
