Quotes 

  • Joe Collins : [Spencer is wavering about whether to join in with Joe's escape plan]  Spencer. In or out? No guarantees go with this break. It's all or nothing. But you've gotta' make up your mind now. Now! Either way, no hard feelings.

    Spencer : [after long, thoughtful pause]  With you, Joe. I'll play along.

    Robert 'Soldier' Becker : I never thought different.

    Spencer : Neither did I.

  • Dr. Walters : [after getting a phone call about the death of Wilson while Collins is in his office]  Well, this is one rap they can't hang on you, Collins. I'm your witness. Important thing, witnesses. Lucky you asked me before, exactly what time it was.

    Joe Collins : Yeah, wasn't it.

    Dr. Walters : Fellow named Wilson.

    Joe Collins : Tough break. Accident?

    Dr. Walters : Positively. Witnesses!

  • Ruth : If I weren't so sick, I could help you.

    Joe Collins : There are all kinds of sick people, Ruth. Maybe we can help each other.

  • Gallagher : It'll only make things tougher for everybody else.

    Joe Collins : I don't care about everybody else.

    Gallagher : That's cemetery talk.

    Joe Collins : Why not, we're buried, ain't we? Only thing is, we ain't dead.

  • 'Freshman' Stack : [Joe has just been returned to his cell after spending some time in solitary. His cellmates are bringing him up to date on latest developments]  About the stool pigeon, Joe, we made arrangements. Everything is okay.

    Joe Collins : Everything's okay? What's okay? Nothing's okay. It never was and it never will be. Not till we're out. You get that? Out.

  • Joe Collins : [Trying to convince Gallagher that escape from the prison is possible, in spite of the fact that they both realize that in the past, somewhat misguided inmates have attempted to do so]  Look, Gallagher, I know this drum's full of crackpots. One convict's gonna' buy his way out, another knows the governor's cousin. A third guy's even gonna' float out in a homemade balloon. But I'm not buyin' any pipe dreams. It can be done. It's been done before, and it'll be done again. It can be done here... by us.

    Gallagher : Collins, if I ever put in with anybody, it'll be with you.
