Michael: What's it take to shake down another inmate, get something he's taken from you?
John: It would take Fibonacci.
Michael: I'll give you Fibonacci, I promise you that, when the time is right.
John: Time is right now.
Michael: No, the time is right when you and I are both standing outside those walls. You're sitting on life without parole. You're never gonna stand outside those walls again. Not unless you knew someone. Someone who knew a way out. What do you say, John?
John: I say I've heard nothing but blabber.
