T-bag: That baby boy all growed up yet? Oh, he's
gonna raise hell the next few years.
Take after his mama. Yeah, you know, it's the same old same up here. But, uh...
things are getting pretty tense, like they're fixin' to, uh, collide. You know
what I mean, Jimmy? There's a potential, uh, situation.
Michael: I found our access to the infirmary building, but I'm gonna need
some time to make it work.
Lincoln: How much time?
Michael: Enough for me to find my way up a 20-foot vertical drain pipe
without using a ladder. I'll probably need to skip PI tomorrow if I want to get this thing done.
Lincoln: You can't just skip it. It ain't class. What if one of the bulls
decides to drop in?
Michael: Well, I don't have a choice, do I? Once we get through the pipe
below the guards' room, it will be a whole lot easier. I can come and go without
using the door, and with Westmoreland as a lookout, we'll have one more man
available for digging.
Lincoln: Westmoreland's gonna be a problem. All seven of us can't break over
that wall in 18 minutes. You said it yourself: it's impossible. Listen, man, I'm
telling you, one of us has got to take a
hike.
Michael: I know.
C-note: Mind if I share that with the rest of the class? Apparently, College
Boy here did the math. Figured out that we got too many clowns in the car. So,
one of us is in here digging, but his seat ain't guaranteed.
Lincoln: How is this your problem, man?
Michael: He doesn't know what he's talking about.
Sucre: I'm not gonna dig if I'm not gonna go.
Lincoln: We need to make a decision on who gets cut.
Abruzzi: Well, I think we can all agree who that should be. Right?
T-bag: Oh, pardon me for interrupting. But, uh... what's that smell? It
smells a little like... conspiracy.
Michael: We need to get back to work.
T-bag: Yeah, before you do, I have an announcement to make. I've been growing
leery of the way y'all talk, like I'm a lesser man. So, I bought an insurance
policy. I called up my guy on the outside, and I told him about our plan. And I
told him, in all likelihood, I'll be seeing him next week, but... if he don't
hear from me five minutes before the escape, and 20 minutes after, I told him to
call up the warden, blow the whistle on the whole thing. So if you all got ideas
about getting rid of me... I suggest you make other plans.
妙語佳句，活學活用
1. Raise hell
Raise hell是個俚語，它有幾種意思： 1) to create an uproar大發(fā)雷霆，發(fā)火；例如：She'll raise hell
when she sees what your rabbit has done to her garden. 2) Behave in a rowdy
or disruptive way 搗亂，搞破壞：例如：The wind raised the devil with our picnic.
Raise hell 這個片語也寫作raise Cain / raise the devil，Raise
Cain來自于亞當和夏娃的兒子亞伯，他殺死了他的兄弟Cain（該隱）。據跟St. Louis Daily Pennant (May 2, 1840): "Why
have we every reason to believe that Adam and Eve were both rowdies? Because ...
they both raised Cain.". This statement makes a pun on raise, meaning "bring up"
or "nurturing." 之后漸漸演變出 raise hell 和raise the devil這個兩個變體。
