Shawshank Redemption |

[Red places his bet on Andy] Red: That tall drink of water with the silver spoon up his ass. Red: [narrating] Prison life consists of routine, and then more routine. Red: [narrating] I wish I could tell you that Andy fought the good fight, and the Sisters let him be. I wish I could tell you that - but prison is no fairy-tale world. He never said who did it, but we all knew. Things went on like that for awhile - prison life consists of routine, and then more routine. Every so often, Andy would show up with fresh bruises. The Sisters kept at him - sometimes he was able to fight 'em off, sometimes not. And that's how it went for Andy - that was his routine. I do believe those first two years were the worst for him, and I also believe that if things had gone on that way, this place would have got the best of him. Red: [narrating] The first night's the toughest, no doubt about it. They march you in naked as the day you were born, skin burning and half blind from that delousing shit they throw on you, and when they put you in that cell... and those bars slam home... that's when you know it's for real. A whole life blown away in the blink of an eye. Nothing left but all the time in the world to think about it. Red: These walls are funny. First you hate 'em, then you get used to 'em. Enough time passes, you get so you depend on them. That's institutionalized. Heywood: Shit. I could never get like that. Prisoner: Oh yeah? Say that when you been here as long as Brooks has. Red: Goddamn right. They send you here for life, and that's exactly what they take. The part that counts, anyway. [Andy after Warden Norton refuse to appeal his case] Andy Dufresne: It's my life. Don't you understand? IT'S MY LIFE! Red: The man likes to play chess; let's get him some rocks. Warden Samuel Norton: I believe in two things: discipline and the Bible. Here you'll receive both. Put your trust in the Lord; your ass belongs to me. Welcome to Shawshank. Red: [narrating] I must admit I didn't think much of Andy first time I laid eyes on him; looked like a stiff breeze would blow him over. That was my first impression of the man. Brooks: Easy peasy japanesey. Captain Hadley: If I hear so much as a mouse fart in here the rest of the night I swear by God and sonny Jesus you will all visit the infirmary. Every last motherfucker in here. Warden Samuel Norton: Do you enjoy working in the laundry? Andy Dufresne: No sir, not especially. Andy Dufresne: You know what the Mexicans say about the Pacific? Red: No. Andy Dufresne: They say it has no memory. That's where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory. [Boggs sizes Andy up] Boggs: Hey, anybody come at you yet? Anybody get to you yet? [Andy looks at him in puzzlement] Boggs: Hey, we all need friends in here. I could be a friend to you. [Andy walks away] Boggs: Hey... Hard to get. I like that... |
