Chen Lien: "I'm sorry for what happened to you."
Nick: "Well, don't be. I'm not fishing for sympathy, here. I did the crime, I'm doing the time. Time isn't doing me."

Nick: "I do my own time, not the institution's. See, to hold on to who you are in there, you dedicate yourself to your program. You work out on your body and your mind."
