The moral of the story: never make a deal with an interdimensional demon without a little protection.
—Slade, Teen Titans
Lincoln Burrows: We need to make a decision on who gets cut.
John Abruzzi: Well, I think we all can agree who that should be, right?
T-Bag: [enters the room] Pardon me for interrupting. But, uh, what's that smell? [sniffs] It smells a little like conspiracy.
Michael Scofield: We need to get back to work.
T-Bag: Yeah, before you do, I have an announcement to make. I've been growing leery the way you 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 twenty 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.

"I'm not sure what you are, or where you come from, but my instincts tell me you're to be trusted. Make no mistake though: I have a $70,000 sliver of radioactive meteor to stop the one from Metropolis. With you, all I'd need is a penny for a book of matches."
Shendu: As the… humble… spirit you now see before you, I am free to cross over and possess any human I wish, enabling me to undo the sacred spells which keep you here… eh, if… you so deem it. […] So, I trust you would agree that my, eh… "martyrdom", has left a void for a new, stronger evil to fill. Namely you, my brothers and sisters. Shall I proceed then? [his siblings cast a spell on him] What trick is this?!
Hsi Wu: You have proven crafty, brother, so we require a safety measure.
Bai Tza: Our spell will keep you bound within the human of your choosing, until you release us.
Xiao Fung: A precaution, so that we know exactly where to find you.
Tso Lan: In the event we deem it necessary to resume your eternal torment.
Shendu: I accept your terms. I will choose my vessel well to best serve you. And the human most capable for this task is my nemesis, Jackie Chan.
