文化面面觀  揭秘美國監獄--暴力、性和幫派斗爭的隱秘世界

我觀之我見  T-bag絕對是這群人中的異類，案底令人發指、性取向別于常人、言行乖張、與常人格格不入、習性殘忍……

影片對白

Sucre: There are three things for certain in life---death, taxes and count. Only way to stop count is...

Michael: What?

Sucre: Never mind. It's a bad idea.

Michael: Worse than the idea of losing Maricruz?

Sucre: A lockdown. We getGen Poplocked down for a day, you'll have all the time you need.

Michael: And no count?

Sucre:Bullsdon't even come by. Only one problem. 

Michael: How do we get a lockdown?

Sucre: Can you get to the prison AC unit?

Michael: Maybe.

Sucre: You want a lockdown, you got to get the inmates riled up. And if you want topiss off the meat in concrete, turn up the heat.

Man: I thought you were retired.

Diamond: Never mind me. Someheavy hitterswant this done, so that means I want it done. No screw ups.

Man: For you, Diamond, it's not a problem, Burrows isas good asdead.

Sara: Hottest April on record.

Michael: Global warming.

Sara: Probably. You got a minute?

Michael: Uh-huh. About five years worth.

Sara: Sorry, right, um... You never told me Lincoln Burrows is your brother.

Michael: It never came up.

Sara: Right. I'm curious if that isn't because of my father, the governor. He may not be the one pulling the switch, but you and I both know - he has the power to grant clemency, and he won't, and he never does.

Michael: My old man was an abusive drunk who abandoned his family. I don't judge anyone by their father's actions. Or inactions. If that was your concern.

Sara: Just so you know, I don't agree with his politics. I'm sorry about your brother.

Michael: I appreciate that.

Sara: Hey, this isn't much. Um... I have to give Lincoln a weekly checkup now. If you want, I could schedule those visits to end right before you come in for your shots. That way, uh, you could at least see each other, even if it's just in passing.

Michael: Thank you.

Sara: Yeah.

T-bag: You got to do something about the heat.

Geary: Doing the best we can.

T-bag: Your best is garbage. It's a hundred degrees in here.

Geary: Look like I got frostbite to you? Line up!

T-bag: Why don't you transfer us all someplace cooler... like Africa?

Geary: Get your ass on the line, convict.

T-bag: We'll move when the temperature situation is rectified, all right?

Mack: Hey, Bellick, this is Mack in Cell Block. We got some conspopping off.

Bellick:Give 'em a smack, throw 'em on the line and write 'em up. If you can't handle it, don't cash your paycheck this week.

妙語佳句，活學活用

1. Gen Pop
It refers to the General Population. The place where most criminals are placed. The more severe cases are placed in other units away from the Gen Pop to keep down the risk of incidents.

2. Bull
在俚語中，bull 可以指“警察，偵探”。

3. Piss off the meat in concrete

Piss off 有很多種意思，這里的意思是to make someone angry or to become angry。The meat in concrete 則是代指"監獄里的囚犯"，因為監獄都是concrete建成的嘛！

4. Heavy hitter

“重要的，有影響力的人或組織”，例如：This publishing house is one of the heavy hitters in the textbook industry. 這個習語來源于拳擊比賽，本意是“重拳出擊”，后來引申為在本段電影中的意思。
