☊ The Shawshank Redemption (1994) Soundboard

A broken bourbon bottle, likewise with fingerprints.

A bunch of ball washing bastards!

A fine line, maybe...

A free man at the start of a long journey...

A lawyer fucked me.

A little hobby of mine.

A little parole rejection present.

A little place on the Pacific Ocean.

A man that young...

A man working outdoors feels more like a man...

A million bucks?

A month in the hole.

A politician's word so that...

A promise I made to Andy.

A revolver holds six bullets, not eight.

A river of dirty money running through here.

A rock hammer is about six or seven inches long.

A rock hammer.

About four years ago...

About six months left to go...

Absolutely rehabilitated.

Absolutely.

After he smells mine.

Ain't that a kick in the head?

Ain't you going to scream?

Ain't you heard? His parole's come through.

All he needed was a suit and tie and a jiggly hula gal on his desk...

All I do anymore is think of ways to break my parole...

All I want is to be back where things make sense.

All of it.

All prisoners report for lock down.

All prisoners, return to your cellblocks.

All right, but you should know that sudden, serious brain injury...

All right, who?

All right, who's your horse?

Alone in the dark with nothing but your thoughts...

Along the way, I threw my gun into the Royal River.

Also got a big shipment in that week.

Am I sorry for what I did?

An extra bullet per lover...

An ice age here...

And a total fucking mystery. I hate it.

And behind every shady deal...

And Bogs would never walk again.

And everyone's in on it!

And for the briefest of moments...

And have you ever had an assistant?

And he got it!

And he's the one they pinned it on.

And I also believe that if things had gone on that way...

And I wound up in here.

And it's Fat Ass by a nose!

And like Norton said...

And most of all...

And no good thing ever dies.

And of course, the most important item:

And oh, my Lord, how the money rolled in!

And she said that she wanted a divorce in Reno.

And shine my shoes.

And some mica, shale...

And still, he kept sending those letters.

And that also...

And that cupcake on the wall. Let's ask her.

And that's how it came to pass...

And that's how it went for Andy.

And that's the best part.

And the library?

And the signature was a spot on match.

And then Andy says, Mr. Dekins...

And they don't quit till they reel someone in.

And when they fly away...

And when they put you in that cell...

And you gave it to him.

Andrew Dufresne.

Andy built a library.

Andy came to Shawshank Prison...

Andy come down to the loading dock today.

Andy could use a nice welcome back when he gets out of the infirmary.

Andy crawled to freedom through 500 yards...

Andy Dufresne...

Andy got two weeks in the hole for that little stunt.

Andy kept pretty much to himself at first.

Andy was as good as his word.

Andy would never do that.

Andy, are you nuts?

Andy, let me out!

Any favorite passages?

Anybody come at you yet?

Anybody get to you yet?

Appropriations Committee voted an annual payment of $500...

Are you going to eat that?

Are you saying Andy is innocent?

As God as my witness!

As it turned out, Tommy had himself a young wife and a new baby girl.

As it turned out...

As you know...

At least I was in my old life. I'd like to be again.

At the base of that wall, there's a rock that has no earthly business in Maine.

At this rate, you'll put me out of business.

Bad husband, maybe.

Bad luck, I guess.

Because to tell you the truth...

Before long, Andy started him on his course requirements.

Bet you wish your daddy never dicked your mama!

Better that way.

Big, twitchy fucker.

Board of Education.

Bogs didn't put anything in Andy's mouth.

Bogs spent a week in the hole.

Book?

Boy found brains he never knew he had.

Broke Captain Hadley's heart to shoot him.

Brooks ain't no bug.

Brooks Hatlen knew it.

Buffed those shoes to a high mirror shine.

Bullshit.

But a toothbrush is a non lethal object, isn't it?

But I sure do love that winning horse of mine, though.

But I tell you these walls are funny.

But if I drop this, you get me on destruction of property too.

But it'd be nice to have some company down here.

But sir, he wasn't.

But still...

But that wasn't the only reason.

But then, in the spring of 1949...

But this is a specialty item.

But was their crime so great...

But we all knew.

But who is he?

But you write your letters if it makes you happy.

Buy some worthless old boat...

By 1966, right about the time Tommy was getting ready to take his exams...

By Alexandree...

By the power vested in me by the state of Maine...

By the time Norton retires, I'll have made him a millionaire.

By the way, add a life term to my sentence.

By the year Kennedy was shot...

By then, there wasn't nothing we could do.

Byron Hadley? You have the right to remain silent.

Call the trustees. Take that tub of shit down to the infirmary.

Can I ask you something?

Caught his wife in bed with some golf pro. Greased them both.

Chances are, he'd be released by now.

Cigarettes, a bag of reefer, if that's your thing...

Cigarettes...

Civilized. Strategic.

Clear all this out before the warden gets back.

Come on, old boys. Moving like molasses!

Come out. You're holding up the show!

Come.

Complained about it all the time.

Cops caught him sneaking TV sets out the back door of a JC Penney.

Count of Monte Crisco.

Coworkers. That's rich!

Crazy old fool damn near cut my throat!

Damn it, you're putting me behind! I got a schedule to keep.

Damn near anything within reason.

Dekins blinked for a second...

Delivery for Dufresne.

Despite a few hitches, the boys came through in fine style.

Did I say you were good?

Did you follow her?

Didn't make much sense in here.

Discipline and the Bible.

Do that and I'll put all eight inches of this in your ear.

Do you have a piece of paper and a pencil?

Do you mind?

Do you understand?

Doc had gone home for the night.

Does that strike you as a fantastic coincidence, or is it just me?

Doesn't fucking matter what his name was. He's dead.

Dollars?

Don't ever mention money to me, you son of a bitch!

Don't make it mine. This meeting is over.

Don't make me come down or I'll thump your skull for you!

Don't tell me that again.

Don't you listen to these nitwits, you hear me?

Drink up while it's cold, ladies.

Dufresne, open this door!

Dufresne!

Dufresne.

Dumas. Know what that's about?

Dumb ass?

Dumb ass.

Dumb shit, what do you think the government will do to me?

Easy, peasy, Japanese y.

Ellis Boyd Redding...

Elmo Blatch.

Enough time passes...

Erle Stanley Gardners.

Especially Bogs.

Especially that big, white, mushy butt of yours.

Even people he killed.

Ever bother you?

Every evening I load up the cart and make my rounds.

Every last motherfucker in here.

Every man has his breaking point.

Every so often, Andy would show up with fresh bruises.

Everybody's innocent in here. Don't you know that?

Feel bad about it if you want, but you didn't pull the trigger.

Fell out of his nest over by the plate shop.

Fiction, adventure.

Fine morning, isn't it?

For a toothbrush, I wouldn't ask. I'd quote a price.

For rocks.

For the second time in my life...

Forget that there are...

Forget?

Fort Hancock, Texas, please.

Fort Hancock...

Forty years I've been asking permission to piss.

Four brave souls.

Four!

Freeze, kid, hands in the air.

Fresh fish today!

Fresh fish!

From now on, I'll write two letters a week instead of one.

Fuck it!

Fuck this place!

Gave him a thrill to help a youngster crawl off the shit heap.

Geology is the study of pressure and time.

Get busy living...

Get him out of here.

Get him out!

Get my stuff down to the laundry.

Get my stuff to the laundry. Two suits for dry clean and a bag of whatnot.

Get out of my face, man! You're into me for five packs already.

Get someone else to run your scams.

Gilda, are you decent?

Give him another month to think about it.

Give me a count!

Glenn Quentin, golf pro at the Snowden Hills Country Club...

Go ahead and open it.

Goddamn cats crawling up trees, 5 times 5 is 25...

Good morning, Portland Daily Bugle.

Good. Because if we do this...

Got you out of the laundry, though.

Governor will be there.

Guess not.

Guys!

Hadley's got him by the throat, right?

Happens every time.

Hard to believe, high strung as he was. You cut a loud fart, he jumped three feet.

Haven't you ever felt that way about music?

He asked me for a length of rope.

He blasphemed. I'll tell the warden.

He bought remaindered books by the pound...

He broke my fucking nose!

He didn't say that!

He died a rich man. Oil wells and shit. Close to a million bucks.

He doesn't exist, except on paper.

He had a quiet way about him...

He hears your tale of woe and naturally wants to cheer you up.

He made deals with book clubs, charity groups.

He must have said something.

He never made a sound.

He never said who did it.

He ought to have something to show for it.

He puts his hand in your shirt and squeezes your tit till it's purple.

He really liked the kid.

He says, l believe this boy's about to have himself an accident.

He says, Sorry to inform you, but your brother just died.

He should have died in here.

He strolled...

He wakes up...

He was in his cell...

He wrote two letters a week instead of one.

He'll push him off!

He's a friend of yours, and Brooks is a reasonable man.

He's a phantom, an apparition. Second cousin to Harvey the Rabbit.

He's got scams you haven't even dreamed of. Kickbacks on his kickbacks.

He's just institutionalized.

He's right. It ain't.

He's talking funny.

He's the guilty one, the man with the bank accounts.

He's young, not terribly bright.

Heads up. They're tossing cells!

Heads up. They're tossing cells.

Hear you helped a couple of fellas with that.

Hell, I wouldn't know where to begin.

Help!

Here she comes.

Here you go, miss.

Here, you'll receive both.

Here.

Here's where it makes the most sense.

Here's your book.

Here's your cashier's check, sir. Will there be anything else?

Hey, Fat Ass.

Hey, fish.

Hey, Jake. Where's Brooks?

Hey, Red, bump me a deck.

Hey, Red.

Hey, Tyrell.

Hey, we all need friends in here.

Heywood, that isn't soapstone! And it ain't alabaster either.

Him and this tasty bitch he was with.

Him? What about me?

Honey, hush.

Hope can drive a man insane.

Hope is a dangerous thing.

Hope.

How about expanding the library. Get some new books.

How can you be so obtuse?

How did you know?

How do I look?

How do you expect to do that? I mean...

How long has he been here now?

How nice.

How you doing? How's the wife treating you?

How'd it go?

I ain't no goddamn loser.

I almost forgot.

I am warning you. Turn that off!

I been in here most of my life.

I believe you're crazy enough. Get this stuff out...

I can honestly say I'm a changed man.

I can honestly say that I'm a changed man.

I can see that, Haig! Think I'm blind?

I can't believe how fast things move on the outside.

I can't say I approve of this.

I can't squeeze a drop without say so.

I can't take care of you no more, Jake.

I channel it. Filter it. Funnel it.

I conjured him...

I could be a friend to you.

I could shoot the manager while I was at it. Sort of like a bonus.

I could use a good man to help me get my project on wheels.

I didn't get a thing right. It might as well have been in Chinese.

I didn't know how to show it, that's all.

I didn't pull the trigger...

I didn't shoot my wife, and I didn't shoot her lover.

I didn't, since you ask.

I do believe those first two years were the worst for him.

I do believe you're talking out of your ass.

I don't belong here!

I don't have any idea what that means.

I don't have her stuffed down the front of my pants right now, sorry to say.

I don't know.

I don't like it here.

I don't need you to tell me where the bear shit in the buckwheat.

I don't run the scams. I just process the profits.

I don't think I could make it on the outside.

I don't think so.

I don't think that's too much to ask.

I don't think the store manager likes me very much.

I don't waste time with losers, Tommy.

I enter the names on this clipboard here.

I feel awkward enough as it is.

I feel stupid telling you this. I'm sure you would have investigated.

I figure we owe him that much for the beer.

I finally got the joke.

I find I'm so excited I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head.

I got back in the car and I drove home to sleep it off.

I got here Auto Repair...

I got me this job one time, busing tables at a country club...

I got no choice.

I got one. Look!

I got to live with that.

I got to pay tax on the car. Repair...

I guess after Tommy was killed...

I guess he had a lot on his mind...

I guess I just miss my friend.

I guess I'm too old for that sort of nonsense anymore.

I guess it comes down to a simple choice.

I had my money on Andy Dufresne.

I had thought it'd take a man 600 years to tunnel through the wall with it.

I had to come to prison to be a crook.

I had your mother! She wasn't that great!

I hadn't planned on it.

I have bad dreams like I'm falling.

I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about.

I have to know...

I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged.

I have to say that's the most amazing story I ever heard.

I have trouble sleeping at night.

I hear you're good with numbers.

I hope I can make it across the border.

I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams.

I hope to see my friend and shake his hand.

I hope you don't mind. I wanted it to be a surprise.

I hope you'll enjoy living abroad.

I hope, wherever he is, he's doing okay and making new friends.

I imagine it appealed to his meticulous nature.

I just didn't expect the storm would last as long as it has.

I just don't understand what happened in there.

I just wanted to put you at ease, that's all.

I keep thinking...

I know a couple of big old bull queers that'd just...

I know what you think it means, sonny.

I know you're good, but all that paper leaves a trail.

I know you're there. I can hear you breathing.

I know, they told me.

I know. I've seen it three times this month.

I let him down.

I like that.

I like this part when she does that shit with her hair.

I like to think it was something so beautiful...

I like to think the last thing that went through his head...

I look back on the way I was then...

I made my usual 20 percent, of course.

I mean, for real innocent?

I mean, I learned my lesson.

I mean, seriously...

I must say I'm sorry to be losing your business.

I need a dozen volunteers for a week's work.

I need this highway contract. I don't get it and I go under. That's a fact.

I need your help, son.

I owe that boy a big kiss when I see him.

I parked in the turnout...

I read it.

I remember my first night.

I saw an automobile once when I was a kid...

I say, Yeah?

I see you two all the time. You're thick as thieves, you are.

I see.

I send it out into the real world, and when it comes back...

I stole a car.

I submit that this was not a hot blooded crime of passion.

I suppose I could set it up for you. That would save you some money.

I sure can.

I swear, the stuff he pulled...

I tell you where I'd go.

I tell you, I near soiled myself!

I tell you, son, this thing really came along and knocked my wind out.

I tell you, those voices soared...

I tell you! Uncle Sam!

I think he did it just to feel normal again...

I think it'll take years.

I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel.

I think you can appreciate that.

I think...

I thought I heard you out here.

I thought you had more faith in me than that.

I understand you're a man that knows how to get things.

I understand.

I wake up scared.

I want every man on this cellblock questioned.

I want him found.

I want my mother!

I want to go home!

I want to talk to him.

I want to try and talk some sense to him.

I was confused...

I was in the path of the tornado.

I was just wondering if anyone knew his name.

I was sobering up.

I was standing there, holding onto that TV. Finally the voice says:

I was thinking...

I wasted a whole year of my time with this bullshit.

I went to a few bars first.

I will be hoping that this letter finds you...

I wish I could tell you Andy fought the good fight...

I wish I could tell you that...

I won't count to three. Not even to one.

I wonder if you might get me a rock hammer.

I wonder where 10 years went.

I wouldn't say friends.

I wouldn't worry too much about this contract.

I'd be as indictable as you for laundering that money.

I'd be happy to.

I'd like to try, with permission. A letter a week.

I'd only ask three beers apiece for each of my coworkers.

I'll ask the warden for funds.

I'll even mail them for you. How's that?

I'll keep an eye out for you, and the chessboard ready.

I'll not have the Lord's name taken in vain in my prison.

I'll pull you out of that 1 bunk Hilton and cast you down with the sodomites.

I'll see you in hell before I see you in Reno.

I'll take that chubby fat ass there.

I'll tell you how the goddamn score comes out.

I'm a convicted murderer who provides sound financial planning.

I'm Andy Dufresne.

I'm backing out the door and I got the TV like this.

I'm Dekins.

I'm done.

I'm going to look after him until he's big enough to fly.

I'm innocent, Red.

I'm just about finished, sir.

I'm known to locate certain things from time to time.

I'm known to locate certain things from time to time. What do you want?

I'm Mr. Norton, the warden.

I'm no longer a danger to society.

I'm not sure which key.

I'm really worried about him.

I'm sure by now you've heard.

I'm sure I will.

I'm the guy who can get it for you.

I'm tired of being afraid all the time. I've decided...

I'm up for rejection next week.

I've always liked that one.

I've been in and out since I was 13.

I've been very clear on this point.

I've got to pinch a loaf.

I've had some long nights in stir.

If I hear so much as a mouse fart in here tonight...

If I were you, I'd grow eyes in the back of my head.

If I'm going to move on this...

If there's trouble, I won't use the rock hammer.

If they catch you, you don't know me.

If they ever catch on, he'll wind up in here wearing a number himself.

If they over starch my shirts again, they'll hear from me.

If they say so.

If they trace any accounts, they'll wind up chasing...

If you ask for something, ask for a pool table.

If you ever get out of here, do me a favor.

If you ever get out...

If you give up this right, anything you say can be held against you in court.

If you trust her, you can keep...

If you want to indulge this fantasy, it's your business.

If you want to keep it, give it to your wife.

If you're reading this, you've gotten out...

If you're so smart, you call it.

In 1959, the state senate finally clued in to the fact...

In a place like that, I could use a man that knows how to get things.

In addition, the library district has generously responded...

In fact, I hear the bite reflex is so strong...

In fact, it got so busy at tax time, he was allowed a staff.

In here I'm the guy who can get things for you, sure, but...

In here, he's an important man...

In here.

Including her!

Innocent?

Institutionalized, my ass.

IRS can't touch one cent.

Is that what you're saying?

It chills my blood just to look at you.

It floats around.

It happens.

It looks that way.

It made the papers and got his picture in Look magazine.

It means you're ready to rejoin society

It might do more than that.

It only cost us a pack of smokes per man.

It only took six years.

It pissed the warden off something awful.

It was a dumb fuck thing to do.

It was blank, but the postmark said...

It was in here.

It was like a beautiful bird flapped into our drab cage...

It was my turn, that's all.

It was outdoor detail...

It was the same reason he spent years shaping and polishing those rocks.

It was very bitter.

It would take a man about 600 years...

It'll lead to somebody.

It's a chance, isn't it?

It's a goddamn mess, I'll tell you that.

It's a wonderful pet to have.

It's all my fault.

It's amazing what you can accomplish by mail.

It's as good a thing to bet on as any, I guess.

It's Brooks.

It's called a rock blanket. It's for shaping and polishing rocks.

It's down there and I'm in here.

It's good having you back.

It's got a long rock wall with a big oak tree at the north end.

It's got me up nights. That's the truth.

It's got no use on the inside.

It's got to land on somebody.

It's hard work and I try to keep up...

It's in Mexico.

It's just a bullshit word.

It's legal. Ask the IRS. They'll say the same thing.

It's like something out of a Robert Frost poem.

It's my life! Understand?!

It's no free ride...

It's not surprising he wouldn't know what a state he put you in.

It's obvious this fellow Williams is impressed with you.

It's pretty clean.

It's probably not that bad.

It's where I asked my wife to marry me.

It's where the filtering process starts.

It's your world, boss.

Jake says thank you.

Jesus, when you say it like that...

Jesus! Heywood.

John, chapter 8, verse 12.

Just a used up con with arthritis in both hands.

Just about finished, sir.

Just give me that chance.

Just like Brooks was.

Just shy of half a mile.

Keep you happy and doing the laundry.

Kind of roomie you pray you don't get. You know what I'm saying?

King me.

Knew it all too well.

Knock it off.

Ladies and gentlemen, you've heard all the evidence.

Last time, the bottom near came out.

Later, I drove to his house to confront them. They weren't home.

Let me out!

Let me teach you someday.

Let me tell you something, my friend.

Let's get him some rocks.

Let's get this over with.

Let's go! Some of us got a schedule to keep.

Let's go! Work!

Let's go. Move your butts.

Let's keep an eye on him.

Let's say for the moment this Blatch does exist.

Let's see how the score comes out.

Lickety split. I want to get home.

Lickety split. Want to get home.

Lights out!

Like a closed book.

Like he had on an invisible coat that would shield him from this place.

Like I said...

Lock them up!

Look at his neck, for God's sake.

Look at his neck. He's bleeding.

Look at that.

Look magazine.

Lord, it's a miracle!

Lost interest in it, though.

Maine National and New England First. Night drops as always, sir.

Make sure you double bag like the lady says. Understand?

Make sure your man double bags.

Making a few friends?

Making me look bad.

Man missing on tier 2, cell 245!

Man vanished like a fart in the wind.

Mark 13:35.

Maybe I should get a gun and rob the Food Way so they'd send me home.

Maybe it's because I'm Irish.

Maybe she knows.

Me and some fellows I know were among the names called.

Me neither! They run this place like a fucking prison!

Me?

Men, materials, you name it.

Mention my name, we never do business again.

Mexico is way down there and you're in here...

Mister Dekins...

Money instead of sheets.

More walls, more bars, more guards.

Morning, fellas.

Most new fish come close to madness the first night.

Move it! Come on, move it!

Move on.

Move out of the cage. Pick up your clothes and Bible.

Move to the end of the cage.

Mr. Dufresne, describe...

Mr. Hadley...

Mr. Stevens has a birth certificate...

Mr. Stevens visited nearly a dozen banks in the Portland area that morning.

Much obliged, sir.

Murder.

My friends could use a couple of beers.

My normal markup's 20 percent.

My wife made that in church group.

My wife used to say I'm a hard man to know.

Name it, chances are I've been there.

No danger to society here.

No hard feelings. Brooks.

No more protection from the guards.

No, I didn't.

No, I have no enemies here.

No, I'm telling you. The guy is...

No, sir, Warden.

No, sir. Not especially.

No, you don't understand.

No.

No. Not much to it, really.

Norton had no intention of going that quietly.

Not a word.

Not because I'm in here or because you think I should.

Not for an old crook like me.

Not for shoelaces or a stick of gum. Now you got that?

Not in this office...

Not like here.

Not one born whose asshole...

Not right now.

Not six shots fired, but eight.

Nothing left but all the time in the world to think about it.

Nothing left...

Nothing stops.

Nothing. I come in here to say farewell.

Now anybody gets curious, FBI, IRS...

Now...

Obtuse. Is it deliberate?

Of course he didn't tell the press...

Of course I doubt they'll toss up any roadblocks for that.

Of course not. But you do need someone to set it up for you.

Oh, Andy loved geology.

Oh, Lord.

Oh, my Holy God.

Oh, no! Here he comes.

Oh, that's funny.

Oh, yes, sir.

Old Andy did it in less than 20.

Old life blown away in the blink of an eye.

Old man's crazy as a rat in a tin shithouse.

On the outside, he'd been vice president of a large Portland bank.

On your feet.

One big, damn conspiracy!

One day, when I got a long, white beard...

One second he's fine, then out come the knives.

One side in alabaster, one in soapstone. What do you think?

Only guilty man in Shawshank.

Only one thing stops me.

Open up a little hotel...

Or maybe I just don't want to.

Or maybe you'd like to sink your toy into somebody's skull.

Or you will do the hardest time there is.

Others build matchstick houses.

Our inmates, properly supervised...

Outside, he's nothing.

P.S. Tell Heywood I'm sorry I put a knife to his throat.

Pacific Ocean?

Parole violation.

Part that counts, anyway.

Pebbles, mostly.

Perhaps we can find something more...

Perhaps you should try a new profession.

Pickings are pretty slim in the yard.

Piece of black, volcanic glass.

Piggy! Pork! I want me a pork chop.

Place wasn't the same without you.

Places he'd been in...

Please sit down.

Please stop sending us letters.

Please, Brooks.

Please! I ain't supposed to be here.

Please.

Pleased to see you reading this.

Poor bastard lay there till this morning.

Poor Byron.

Prepare to roll out.

Prison time is slow time.

Probably couldn't get a library card if he tried.

Promise me, Red.

Put it, put it down.

Put the knife down.

Put your trust in the Lord.

Quartz?

Quite a surprise to hear a woman singing in my house, eh?

Ran off years ago. Figured him for dead.

Randall Stevens.

Reasonable he'd be here in the morning.

Records, W 2s with his name on them.

Red.

Rehabilitated?

Relax.

Remember Brooks Hatlen?

Restroom break?

Return to your cellblocks for evening count.

Right, guys?

Right. Right.

Right. The holster too.

Risk goes up, price goes up. Let's make it an even 10 bucks.

Rumor has it you're a real cold fish.

Said he pulled hundreds of jobs.

Salvation lies within.

Same old shit, different day.

Samuel Norton.

Say what?

Says here that you've served 30 years of a life sentence.

Sealed off, brick by brick.

Seems Andy's favorite hobby was toting his wall out into the exercise yard...

Seems like a long time ago.

Send them down. I want them lined up...

Seven dollars in any rock and gem shop.

Severance pay for 19 years.

She packed a bag to go and stay with Mr. Quentin.

She packed a bag.

She said she was glad I knew, that she hated all the sneaking around.

She was beautiful.

Shit, you are Rembrandt.

Shit.

Shut up, man. Shut up!

Since I am innocent of this crime...

Sir, he's telling the truth.

Six to twelve, armed burglary.

Six wardens have been through here in my tenure, and I've learned...

Skeets, come on. Give me that, you shithead.

Smart as they come. He was a banker on the outside.

Smart fellow, ain't he?

Smell my ass!

Smokes or coin? Bettor's choice.

Smokes. Put me down for two.

So Andy started writing a letter a week...

So he says:

So I killed him.

So I pick out this guy...

So I'm a rock hound.

So Moresby Prison...

So one night, like a joke...

So put the knife down. Look at me.

So they let you tote that record player down there, huh?

So this big shot lawyer calls me long distance from Texas.

So this lawyer fellow says to me:

So you do what you can to keep going.

So you go on and stamp your forms, sonny, and stop wasting my time.

Some contraband here, but nothing to get in a twist over.

Some fellas collect stamps.

Some hotshot banker.

Some people really got it awful.

Some things are best left unsaid.

Somebody always breaks down crying.

Somebody else did.

Sometimes he was able to fight them off.

Sometimes it takes me a while to remember where I am.

Sometimes not.

Son of a bitch!

Sooner or later, he'll have to explain where it came from.

Sounds good to us.

Sounds like you done time all over.

Stand.

Started walking him through his ABC's.

Stay in line there.

Step aside, Mert. This fucker's having himself an accident.

Stevenson.

Stocks, securities, tax free municipals.

Sure it is, but not to me, and certainly not to the warden.

Sure you can, if you know how the system works.

Sure, Andy. Anything.

Sure.

Sure. Why wouldn't l?

Sweet Jesus.

Take a big wet bite out of my ass is what.

Take it easy.

Take it.

Take my guests out...

Taking bets today, Red?

Talk to me, boy.

Talked all the time too. That's the other thing. He never shut up.

Ten it is.

Terrible fucking luck, huh? Crying shame.

Terrible thing, to live in fear.

That and a big goddamn poster.

That don't make you a murderer.

That guy? Never happen.

That hotel, that boat...

That kid's long gone...

That little sack of shit.

That means that he fired the gun empty...

That son of a bitch mailed it.

That tall drink of water with the silver spoon up his ass.

That was also when Warden Norton...

That was his routine.

That was my first impression of the man.

That was the longest night of my life.

That'll cost you. A lawyer.

That's all it takes, really.

That's assuming Blatch is still there.

That's breaking and entering to you.

That's Cristo, you dumb shit.

That's enough out of you.

That's enough.

That's fine during the day, but at night he's all alone.

That's fine for the papers, but I've got a family to feed.

That's God's honest truth.

That's goddamn right.

That's great! That's like winning the sweepstakes.

That's him. That's the one.

That's institutionalized.

That's it. You fight!

That's nice and ripe.

That's quite a...

That's tax deductible. You can write that off.

That's the beauty of music. They...

That's the length of five football fields.

That's the longest stretch I ever heard of.

That's very convenient.

That's what I thought.

That's what the man said.

That's what this is.

That's where Andy crossed.

That's where I come in.

That's where I want to live the rest of my life.

That's why she died, because of me...

That's why they've sent you to me.

That's yours.

The boys always go fishing with first timers.

The colossal prick even managed to sound magnanimous.

The country club will have his old timecards.

The fifth one. Put me down for a quarter deck.

The first night's the toughest. No doubt about it.

The funny thing is...

The guards on the opposing teams all remembered to bring their W 2s.

The guards simply didn't notice.

The hell, you say.

The kid passed. C + average.

The next morning, right about the time Raquel was spilling her secret...

The only question is...

The other rules...

The parole board got me into this halfway house...

The police dragged that river for three days, and nary a gun was found...

The rest of us did our best to pitch in when and where we could.

The right thing to do...

The roof of the license plate factory needs resurfacing.

The Shawshank Prison Library.

The silent silent partner.

The Sisters have taken quite a liking to you.

The Sisters kept at him.

The Sisters never laid a finger on Andy again.

The world went and got itself in a big damn hurry.

Then I'd guess you want to escape. Tunnel under the wall, maybe.

Then if you figure your tax wrong, you pay out of your own pocket.

Then you get used to them.

Then you'll swallow Rooster's. You broke his nose.

There are 100 different ways to skim off the top.

There it is.

There must be a con like me in every prison in America.

There's a big hayfield up near Buxton. You know where Buxton is?

There's a harsh truth to face.

There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret.

There's nothing to talk about. I'll cut his fucking throat.

There's something...

There's your goddamn score!

These men can learn the value...

They broke the door down before I could take requests.

They find it, you're going to lose it.

They had sinned.

They march you in naked as the day you were born...

They say it has no memory.

They send you here for life...

They trace anything, it'll just lead to him.

They transferred him to a minimum security hospital upstate.

They'd have his last known address.

They'll see the flames for miles.

Thing is, see...

Things went on like that for a while.

Think you'll ever get out of here?

Thirty five thousand. That's what he left me.

Thirty years.

This is $200.

This is a conspiracy.

This is all he knows.

This is crazy. You don't want to do this.

This is just shitty pipe dreams.

This is Mr. Hadley. He's captain of the guards.

This is my chance to get out!

This is where the canary is.

This place ain't so bad.

This was revenge...

This will blind you.

Those were your words, according to your neighbors.

Thought I might try for my high school equivalency.

Thought you'd like to know.

Three deposits tonight.

Thumb up my butt sounds better.

Tier 2 north, clear count.

Tier 3 north, clear count!

Tier 3 south, clear.

Time.

To me it's just a made up word.

To my knowledge, he lived out the rest of his days...

To tell you the truth, I haven't made up my mind.

To the right.

Tommy took to it pretty well too.

Tommy was it.

Tommy Williams came to Shawshank in 1965...

Trade skills and hobbies. Under Educational, behind you.

Treasure Island.

Truly, it did.

Truth is...

Turn around and face the warden.

Turn around.

Turn that off!

Two deposits.

Two points, right there!

Two things never happened again after that.

Unhook them.

Until that moment, he didn't exist.

Very nice, sir.

Wait, wait.

Want a cold one?

Warden wants to talk.

Warden?

Wasn't until a month went by before he opened his mouth...

Waste of money, if you ask me.

Watch the door.

Watch ye, therefore, for ye know not...

We can talk about this, right?

We could get a board together.

We could have been tarring the roof of one of our own houses.

We go back a long way.

We got a situation here.

We have a warrant for your arrest. Open up.

We have the accused at the scene of the crime. We have footprints.

We just have to put it behind us.

We might do business on a board, and I'll carve the pieces myself.

We ought to file that under Educational too, oughtn't we?

We sat and drank with the sun on our shoulders and felt like free men.

We see you've served 20 years of a life sentence?

We trust this will fill your needs. We now consider the matter closed.

We went there for a picnic...

We were the lords of all creation.

We'll dance around it like wild Injuns.

We'll get to that.

We'll have us a little book barbecue in the yard.

We're getting to be kind of friends, aren't we?

We're old friends, I know him as good as anybody.

We're reeling them in!

We're running low on hexite. Get on back and fetch us up some.

Weekend furloughs. Work programs.

Welcome to Shawshank.

Well, here she is.

Well, I played a mean harmonica as a younger man.

Well, I work cheap. That's the tradeoff.

Well, I'll be damned!

Well, I'll give you the dime tour.

Well, it's for shit.

Well, now, let me see.

Went through one of your competitors.

What about you. You blind?

What amazes me most is you'd be taken in by it.

What are you in for?

What are you jimmies staring at?

What are you talking about?

What are you, a fucking geologist?

What are you, scared of the dark?

What did I miss? What's so funny?

What did you call me?

What did you do to set him off?

What do you mean, He just wasn't here? Don't say that to me.

What do you really want to know?

What do you think?

What happened after you argued with your wife?

What I mean is, do you think she'd go behind your back?

What I mean is...

What is your malfunction, you fat barrel of monkey spunk?

What say there, fuzzy britches? Feel like talking?

What the Christ is this horseshit?

What the fuck do you care, new fish?

What the fuck have you done?

What they did do is beat him within an inch of his life.

What'd you say?

What's an item like this usually go for?

What's buried under there?

What's he done to you?

What's he in here for anyway?

What's next?

What's wrong with you?

Whatever it was...

Whatever mistakes I made, I've paid for them and then some.

When do we eat?

When I come back...

When I picture him heading south in his own car with the top down...

Where do you get this shit?

Where I won't have to be afraid all the time.

Where's the canary?

While you think about that...

Who?

Who's going to prove me wrong?

Why do they call you that?

Why do you think he lets me do all that?

Why don't we have a seat and talk it over.

Why don't you give him some of your cigarettes instead? Lucky fuck!

Why me? Why now?

Why should I believe you? So I can end up in here with you?

Why should she be any different?

Why'd you do it?

Why's that?

Wife killing banker.

Will you throw that away, please?

With this pool of slave labor, you can underbid any contractor in town.

With Tommy's testimony, I can get a new trial.

Without a doubt.

Woman can't bake worth shit.

Word gets around.

Would you add this to your outgoing mail?

Would you be willing to swear before a judge and jury...

Wow!

Ye that followeth me shall have the light of life.

Yeah, I got rejected last week.

Yeah, I guess.

Yeah, I know how you feel.

Yeah, maybe enough to buy a new car, and then what?

Yeah, that was an easy piece of time, let me tell you.

Yeah, what the hell you know about it, Capone?

Year after that, they rescheduled the intramural season...

Years I got. What I don't have are the rocks.

Yes, it does.

Yes, sir, I do.

Yes, sir! Andy was a regular cottage industry.

Yes, sir! I'm a regular Sears and Roebuck.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir. Absolutely, sir.

Yes! Richmond, Virginia.

You are convicted felons.

You be sure and thank Maisie for this fine pie.

You believe whatever you want.

You can't just make a person up.

You could argue he done it to curry favor with the guards.

You couldn't play something good, huh? Like Hank Williams?

You didn't pull the trigger or convict him.

You don't need to ask me every time you need to go take a piss. Just go.

You don't read...

You don't understand. I'm not supposed to be here.

You done some stretch in Cashman, right?

You eat when we say you eat.

You enjoy working the laundry?

You feel you've been rehabilitated?

You follow this officer.

You get the forms, I'll prepare them...

You go on now.

You going to open it or stand there with your thumb up your butt?

You going to play it?

You got that, you maggot dick motherfucker?

You have some of this fine pie...

You have to be human first. They don't qualify.

You hear me?

You know how to read, you ignorant fuck?

You know what I'm trying to say?

You know what the Mexicans say about the Pacific?

You know why it's a fine morning, don't you?

You may remember reading about it.

You need it so you don't forget.

You pull infirmary duty this week?

You put it in my mouth, you lose it.

You really mean that?

You remember the name of the town, don't you?

You see Dufresne's name there? I sure do. Right there.

You shit when we say you shit, and piss when we say you piss.

You shouldn't be doing this to yourself.

You shouldn't!

You shut up, or I'll sing you a lullaby!

You speak English, butt steak?

You strike me as a particularly icy and remorseless man, Mr. Dufresne.

You think he'd just fall to his knees and cry, Yes, I did it. I confess.

You think your shit smells sweeter than most. Is that right?

You underestimate yourself.

You understand me? Catching my drift?

You understand my concern.

You want the rest of this?

You won't hurt Heywood. We all know that.

You wouldn't think it to look at the guy.

You'd better be sick or dead in there. I shit you not!

You'd better get used to that idea.

You'd like it. It's about a prison break.

You'll be all right.

You'll have to pry it up...

You'll look funnier sucking my dick with no teeth.

You'll pay some tax, but you'll still end up

You'll tell him with my baton up your ass!

You'll think you've been fucked by a train.

You're forgetting yourself.

You're free.

You're going to fit right in.

You're mine now.

You're out some smokes, son.

You're shitting me.

You're talking to the right man. I can get things, right?

You're that smart banker that killed his wife.

You've had worse from shaving.

Your ass belongs to me.

Your friend...

Zihuatanejo.

119.

123.

1947. What is that? Nineteen years.

A lot of hayfields up there. One in particular.

Am I blind, Haig? No, sir!

Any questions? How long have you been librarian?

Bullshit. Tax free? Tax free.

Calm the fuck down. Stay back!

Chess. Now there's a game of kings. What?

Clean as a virgin's honeypot, huh? Cleaner.

Damn straight. I had Mr. Mozart to keep me company.

Eighth. He'll be first. Bullshit! I'll take that action.

Every penny. You better start making sense.

Except on paper. May I help you?

Get out! I got to change reels!

Getting himself killed. Keep tarring.

Hey, look who's here. Maestro!

How did I know what? So you don't know.

I can't stand this guy. Oh, Lord!

I could never get like that. Oh, yeah?

I want them looking like mirrors. Yes, sir.

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm not. He was an asshole.

Looks like a miniature pickax. Pickax?

My ass! Shook his hand.

No such thing as easy time in the hole. A week in the hole is like a year.

Right, Heywood? Sure.

Rita Hayworth. What?

Start with that friend of his. Who?

Stay back, goddamn it! What's going on?

Take a few weeks. Weeks?

Tell me what this is. Last night's count.

Thanks for the advice. Well, that's free.

The budget's stretched thin as it is. I see.

Very nice. Big charity to do up Portland way.

Was it worth two weeks? Easiest time I ever did.

We have a winner! I want to go home!

What did you say? Thirty five thousand.

What the hell is it then? It's a horse apple.

What you in here for? Didn't do it. Lawyer fucked me.

What's all this? You tell me. They're addressed to you.

Where's he going? Grab his ankles.

Williams, Thomas. Yeah, over here.

You mean that? Yeah.

... Reader's Digest condensed books...

...a bar of soap...

...a figment of my imagination.

...a handful at a time.

...a man will do most anything to keep his mind occupied.

...a strange little smile on his face...

...a walk and a talk that just wasn't normal around here.

...a young...

...about setting up some kind of trust fund for my kids' educations.

...an educated man.

...and a job...

...and an old rock hammer...

...and asked me to smuggle Rita Hayworth into the prison for him...

...and came out clean on the other side.

...and do his place.

...and finds you well.

...and fix it up new.

...and gives me shit.

...and have a job.

...and I asked and she said yes.

...and if you've come this far, maybe you'd come a bit further.

...and made love under that oak...

...and made those walls dissolve away.

...and makes your heart ache because of it.

...and May is one damned fine month to be working outdoors.

...and Soap Carving.

...and take an oath before Almighty God himself?

...and the Sisters let him be.

...and then more routine.

...and then stopped to reload...

...and this old man is all that's left.

...and those bars slam home...

...and time.

...and two or three marbles rolling around upstairs.

...and waited.

...and you'll swallow what I give you to swallow.

...Andy being gone.

...Andy decided he'd been here long enough.

...Andy Dufresne escaped...

...Andy got no answers.

...Andy had transformed a storage room smelling of turpentine...

...Andy.

...at a bare minimum of expense to Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Taxpayer.

...at lights out.

...bagging groceries at the Food Way.

...befitting a man of your education.

...before the murders took place.

...behind every dollar earned...

...bottle of brandy to celebrate your kid's high school graduation.

...but I also built that library...

...but I drove her away.

...but my hands hurt most of the time.

...but prison is no fairy tale world.

...but some damn rocks on a windowsill.

...called The Brewer...

...causes the victim to bite down hard.

...charter fishing.

...complete with a fine selection of Hank Williams.

...exceptions can be made.

...find that spot.

...Fort Hancock, Texas.

...from Shawshank Prison.

...get new books in here, Mr. Dufresne, if you please.

...go in one night...

...he spent that break hunkered in the shade...

...he'd have been Mr. Dufresne, if you please.

...higher and farther than anybody in a gray place dares to dream.

...hope is a good thing...

...how often do you really look at a man's shoes?

...I don't give a shit.

...I don't read so good.

...I find it decidedly inconvenient that the gun was never found.

...I get a new cellmate in.

...I hereby order you to serve two life sentences back to back...

...I liked Andy from the start.

...I say to him, Elmo, who did you kill?

...I swear by God and Jesus, you will all visit the infirmary.

...I told him, No problem.

...I was in Thomaston on a two to three stretch.

...I'll introduce you around, make you feel right at home.

...I'm going to open my fly...

...I'm guilty of committing a crime.

...if he can have a bottle of suds. That's only my opinion...

...if only for a short while.

...if what you told Dufresne was the truth.

...in corrections and rehabilitation.

...in early 1947 for murdering his wife and the fella she was banging.

...in prison, a man will do anything to keep his mind occupied.

...in the world that aren't made out of stone.

...including the warden's.

...inside...

...instituted his famous Inside Out program.

...into the best prison library in New England...

...is very convenient. Isn't it, Mr. Dufresne?

...issued you a gun, but you paid for it.

...it always makes me laugh.

...it can't be expressed in words...

...it was lovely Raquel.

...jobs he'd pulled, women he fucked.

...just like a pretty little chorus line.

...just like he said.

...just to shut him up.

...l am the light of the world.

...less than a year to go, trying to escape.

...like a man in the park without a care or a worry in the world.

...like he said.

...love to make your acquaintance.

...lying dead in each other's arms.

...maintenance, kids pestering you to take them for a ride all the time.

...maybe the best of things.

...million years of mountain building there.

...my missus made for you. You think about that.

...nearly free of charge.

...Norton wanted to size Andy up.

...not anywhere. Get in here, now!

...not for an old crook like me.

...not to stay.

...of a much more brutal, cold blooded nature. Consider this:

...of an honest day's labor and provide a service to the community...

...on the outside, I was an honest man, straight as an arrow.

...one for each of your victims. So be it!

...one immutable, universal truth:

...or get busy dying.

...out of thin air.

...outside all you need is the Yellow Pages.

...performing all manner of public service.

...places...

...right on the beach.

...right on the border.

...sipping whisky...

...sir.

...skin burning and half blind from that delousing shit.

...so I could case all these big rich pricks that come in.

...so maybe they'd send me back.

...so that he could shoot each of them again.

...so well.

...something lit a fire under that boy's ass.

...sometimes it's hard to know what that is.

...special detail carries with it special privileges.

...strolled into the Maine National Bank.

...stupid kid who committed that terrible crime.

...surprise.

...taken from the bloodstained corpses of the victims.

...that 35,000.

...that bare minimum of expense is a fairly loose term.

...that ever walked a turn at Shawshank State Prison.

...that on the second to last day of the job...

...that they can't get to...

...that they can't touch.

...that's exactly what they take.

...that's when you know it's for real.

...the confrontation you had with your wife the night she was murdered.

...the convict crew that tarred the factory roof in the spring of '49...

...the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice.

...the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone.

...the powers that be decided:

...the state has allocated the enclosed funds for your library project.

...the way I am.

...there can't be the least little shred of doubt.

...there was Andy, keeping the books.

...they couldn't buy him off with just a $200 check.

...they have to pry the victim's jaws open...

...they'd let me stay.

...think about this:

...this golf pro, but she's married to some other guy.

...this is all gone, all right?

...this place would have got the best of him.

...time can draw out like a blade.

...to say more than two words to somebody.

...to see.

...to tunnel under the wall with one of these.

...trying to adapt to life on the inside.

...was to wonder how the hell Andy Dufresne ever got the best of him.

...watching us drink his beer.

...we do it all the way, a hundred percent, nothing half assed.

...we have a beautiful young woman and her lover...

...whatever.

...when the master of the house cometh.

...who crawled through a river of shit...

...who's it going to be?

...whose conclusion is uncertain.

...will be put to work outside these walls...

...with a crowbar.

...with a donation of used books and sundries.

...with better than $370,000 of Warden Norton's money.

...wound up sitting in a row at 10:00 in the morning...

...you get so you depend on them.

...you'll figure out as you go along. Any questions?

...you're not a very good thief. You should try something else.

...young fellas like yourself can wear a suit and a tie...

...your files say you've served 40 years of a life sentence.

..but rather a genuine progressive advance...
