The man up and vanished like a fart in the wind!

#1-You feel you’ve been rehabilitated? #2- Oh, yes sir. Absolutely, sir. Yeah, I’ve learned my lesson. I can honestly say that I’m a changed man. I’m no longer a danger to society. That’s the God’s honest truth.

-Dumas. Ever read it? You’ll like that one, Heywood. It’s about a
jailbreak.
-Jailbreak? Maybe we ought to file that one under ‘Educational’ too.

-King me.
-Chess. Now there’s a game of kings.
-What?
-Civilized…Strategic…
-And a total fuckin’ mystery. I hate it.

sound financial planning.

-That’s ‘Cristo’, you idiot.
-By Alexandree Dumbass.

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

1) Thank you, Mister… 2) Red. The name’s Red. 3) Red? Why do they call you that? 2) Hmm…Maybe it’s cuz I’m Irish.

1) The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumbass… dumbass! haha 2) It’s Dumas

1) Why are you called Red? 2) Maybe ’cause I’m Irish

1)How can you be so obtuse? 2)What? What did you call me?! 1)Obtuse. Is it deliberate?

1)The sisters have taken quite a liking to you. 2)I suppose it wouldn’t help any if i told them I wasn’t homosexual. 1)Neither are they. You have to be human first.

1)Word is the Sisters have taken quite a liking to you. 2) I don’t suppose it would help if I explained to them I’m not a homosexual. 1) Neither are they, you have to be human first, and they don’t qualify.

1. Heywood, what you in for? 2. Didn’t do it, lawyer fucked me!

1. And that also is very convenient, isn’t it, Mr. Dufresne? 2. Since I am innocent of this crime, I find it decidedly INCONVENIENT that the gun was never found.

1. And that’s how it came to pass that on the second-to-last day of the job, the convict crew that tarred the plate factory roof in the spring of forty-nine wound up sitting in a row at ten o’clock in the morning drinking icy cold, Bohemia-style beer, courtesy of the hardest screw that ever walked a turn at Shawshank State Prison. 2. Drink up while it’s cold, ladies. 1. The collosal prick even managed to sound magnanimous.

1. Can you get her? 2. It’ll take a few weeks. 1. Weeks? 2. Well yeah, Andy. I don’t have her stuffed down my pants right now, sorry to say, but relax, I’ll get her.

1. I’m not supposed to be here! I want to go home! I want my ma! 2. Yeah, I had your momma, she wasn’t that great!

1. If they ever try to trace any of those accounts, they’re gonna end up chasing a figment of my imagination. 2. Well, I’ll be damned. Did I say you were good? Shit, you’re a Rembrandt!

1. King me. 2. Chess. Now there’s a game of kings. 3. What? 2. Civilized. Strategic… 3. …and a total fuckin’ mystery. I hate it.

1. Now, I’m gonna open my fly and you’re gonna swallow what I give ya. And when you swallow mine you gonna swallow Rooster’s cause ya done broke his nose and I think he oughta have something to show for it. 2. Anything you put in my mouth you’re gonna lose. 1. Naw, you don’t understand. You do that and I’ll put all eight inches of steel in your ear. 2. All right. But you should know that sudden serious brain injury causes the victim to bite down hard. In fact, I hear the bite reflex is so strong they have to pry the victims jaws open with a crow bar. 1. Where do you get this shit? 2. I read it. You know how to read, you ignorant fuck?

1. Rehabilitated? Now let me see. You know, I don’t have any idea what that means. 2. Well, it means that you’re ready to rejoin society. 1. I know what you think it means, sonny. To me it’s just a made up word; a politician’s word. So young fellas like yourself can wear a suit, and tie, and have a job. What do you really want to know? Am I sorry for what I did? 2. Well, are you? 1. There’s not a day goes by I don’t feel regret. Not because I’m in here, or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then then, a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try and talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can’t. That kid’s long gone and this old man is all that’s left. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated? It’s just a bullshit word. So you go on and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don’t give a shit.

1. The Count of Monte Crisco. 2. That’s Cristo you dumb sh–!

1. Tommy Williams came to Shawshank in 1965 on a two-year stretch for B&E. That’s breaking & entering to you. Cops caught him sneaking TV sets out the back door of a JC Penney. Young punk. Mr. Rock and Roll. Cocky as hell. 2. Hey, c’mon, old boys! Move it like molasses! You’re making me look bad! 1. We liked him immediately.

1. What the Christ is this happy horseshit? 2. Hey, he took the Lord’s name in vain! I’m tellin’ the warden! 1. You’ll be tellin’ the warden about my baton up your ass!

1. When do we eat? 2. You eat when we say you eat. You shit when we say you shit. You piss when we say you piss. You got that, you maggot dick motherfucker?!

1. Why do they call you red?
2. Maybe it’s because I’m Irish.

1. You don’t understand. I’m not supposed to be here! 2. I’m not going to count to three. I’m not even going to count to one. You WILL shut the fuck up NOW or I’ll sing you a lullaby!

1. You no woth that books about? A prison escape

AD LINE: *Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free*

And the library? Gone! Sealed off brick by brick! We’ll have us a little book-barbecue in the yard. They’ll see the flames for miles. We’ll dance around it like wild Injuns. Do you understand me? Are you catching my drift? Or am I being obtuse?

ANDY (V.O.)
Dear Red. If you’re reading this,
you’ve gotten out. And if you’ve
come this far, maybe you’re willing
to come a little further. You
remember the name of the town,
don’t you? I could use a good man
to help me get my project on
wheels. I’ll keep an eye out for
you and the chessboard ready.
(beat)
Remember, Red. Hope is a good
thing, maybe the best of things,
and no good thing ever dies. I will
be hoping that this letter finds
you, and finds you well. Your
friend. Andy.

Andy: What are you in for?
Red: Murder, same as you.
Andy: Innocent?
Red: Only guilty man in Shawshank.

Andy: You know my wife used to call me a hard man to know. Like a closed book. Complained about it all the time. She was beautiful. God I loved her, I just didnt know how to show it, thats all. I killed her Red, I didnt pull the trigger, but I drove her away and thats why she died. Cause of me, cause of the way I am. And I wound up in here. Bad luck I guess. Floats around, has to land on somebody. Its my turn thats all. I was in the path of the tornadoe. I just didnt think the storm would last as long as it has. Ever think they’ll let you outta here?
Red: Me? Oh yeah, one day when I got a long grey beard and two or there marbles rolling around upstairs, they’ll let me out.
Andy: I’d tell you where I’d go. Zihuatenejo.
Red: Zih-what…
Andy:It’s a little place on the Pacific Ocean. You know what the Mexicans say about the Pacific. That is has no memory. Thats where I want to live the rest of my life, warm place with no memory. Start a hotel right on the beach, get some old worthless boat fix it up new. Take my guests out charted fishing. With a place like that I could really use a man that knows how to get things.
Red:I dont think I can make it on the outside Andy. I’m an institutional man, just like Brooks was.
Andy: Ah, you underestimate yourself.
Red: I dont think so. Sure in here I’m the guy that can get you things, but on the outside all you need is the yellow pages. Pacific Ocean, about scare me to death something that big.
Andy: Not me. I didnt shoot my wife and I didnt shoot her lover. Whatever mistakes I’ve made I’ve paid for them and then some. That hotel, that boat, I dont think its too much to ask.
Red: I dont think you outta be doing this to yourself Andy. Talking shitty pipe dreams. I mean Mexico is way way the hell down there and you’re in here.
Andy: Its down there and I’m in here. It comes down to a simple choice really. Get busy living or get busy dying.

Andy:There’s something…inside, that’s yours, something they can’t touch. Red:What are you talkin’ bout? Andy: Hope.

Bad luck, I guess. It floats around. Has to land on somebody. It was my turn, that’s all. I was in the path of the tornado.

BROOKS (V.O.)
Dear Fellas. I can’t believe how fast things move on the outside.

Brooks looks like a kid trying to cross the street without his
parents. People and traffic a blur.

BROOKS (V.O.)
I saw an automobile once when I was
young. Now they’re everywhere. The world went and got itself in a
big damn hurry. The parole board got me into this halfway house called the Brewster, and a job bagging groceries at the Foodway It’s hard work. I try to keep up, but my hands hurt most of the time. I don’t think the store manager
likes me very much.

Brooks sits alone on a bench, feeding pigeons.

BROOKS (V.O.) Sometimes after work I go to the park and feed the birds. I keep thinking Jake might show up and say hello, but he never does. I hope wherever he is, he’s doing okay and making new friends. I have trouble sleeping at night.
The bed is too big. I have bad dreams, like I’m falling. I wake up scared. Sometimes it takes me a while to remember where I am. Maybe I should get me a gun and rob the Foodway, so they’d send me home. I could shoot the manager while I was at it, sort of like a bonus. But I guess I’m too old for that
sort of nonsense anymore. I don’t like it here. I’m tired of being afraid all the time. I’ve decided not to stay. I doubt they’ll kick up any fuss. Not for an old crook like me.

Brooks was here… So was Red

Brooks, how long have you been a librarian?

C’mon old men, moving like molases–making me look bad.

Dear
Warden. You were right. Salvation lay within. Norton flips to
the center of the book — and finds the pages hollowed out in
the shape of a rock-hammer.

Dear Red, If you’re reading this you’ve gotten out, and if you’ve come this far maybe you’re willing to come a little further. You remember the name of the town don’t you? ‘Zijuatinjo.’ I could use a good man to get my project up and running. I’ll an eye open and the chess board ready. Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. I will be hoping that this letter finds you and finds you well. You’re friend, Andy

Do you trust your wife sir?

Do you trust your wife?

Easy peasy japanesey.

Easy-peasy. Jap-an-easy

either keep on living or keep on dying

Every body’s innocent in here. Didn’t you know that?

Everybody in here is innocent.

Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.

Forty years I been asking permission to piss. I can’t squeeze a drop without say-so.

Geology is the study of pressure and time.

Geology is the study of pressure and time. That’s all it takes really…Pressure…And time…That and a big goddamn poster.

Get buisy livin’ or get buisy dying. Thats my moto

GET BUSY LIVIN OR GET BUSY DIEING

Get busy livin’ or get busy dyin’ that’s goddamn right.

Get busy livin’ or get busy dyin’.

get busy living or get busy dying

Get busy living or get busy dying.

Get busy living or get busy dying. That’s goddamn right. For the second time in my life, I’m guilty of comitting a crime. Parole violation. Course, I doubt they’re going to throw up any road blocks for that. Not for an old crook like me. I find I’m so excited I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it’s the excitement only a free man can feel. A free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.

gut’s will get you so far then they get you dead

Hard to get. I like that.

He climbed through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side.

He should have die here.

He upped and vanished like a fart in the wind!

Here’s where it makes the most sense. You need it so you don’t forget. Forget that there are places in the world that aren’t made out of stone. That there’s a – there’s a – there’s something inside that’s yours, that they can’t touch.

Heywood: The Count of Monte Crisco, by Alexandre Dumbass. Dumbass! Ha ha!
Andy: Dumbass? Dumas.

His first night in the joint, Andy Dufresne cost me two packs of cigarettes. He never made a sound.

His judgement commeth, and his right soon

Hope is a good thing

Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.

Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies.

Hope. Hope is a dangerous thing. Becareful how you use it.

how can you be so obtuse?

How could you be so obtuse?

I ain’t gonna count to three… I’m not even gonna count to one… you will shut the FUCK up or I’ll sing you a lullaby!

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.

I could see why some of the boys took him for snobby. He had a quiet way about him, a walk and a talk that just wasn’t normal around here. He strolled, like a man in a park without a care or a worry in the world, like he had on an invisible coat that would shield him from this place. Yeah, I think it would be fair to say… I liked Andy from the start.

I got me this job busting tables at a country club one time. So I pick out this guy going one night into his place. He wakes up…so I killed him…him and his tasty bitch he was with! And that’s the best part! She married some other guy! Some hot-shot banker! And he’s the one they pinned it on!

I guess it wouldn’t make any difference if I told them I wasn’t a homosexual. Will they bring flowers?

I have no idea to this day what them two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don’t want to know. Some things are best left unsaid.

I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about, the truth is I don’t want to know. somethings are better left unsaid… I like to think that they were singing about something more beautiful that it can’t be expressed in words and it makes your heart ache because of it…

I’d like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can’t be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a gray place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made those walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in here felt free

I have to remind myself that some birds aren’t meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright and when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice, but still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they’re gone. I guess I just miss my friend.

I hear yuo’re a man who knows how to get things

I hope Andy is down there, I hope I can make it across the border, I hope to see my friend and shake his hand, I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams, I hope.

I like to think that the last thing that went through the Warden’s mind…other than the bullet…was to wonder how in the hell he had been tricked by Andy. Andy Dufrain…who crawled through 500 yards of shit smelling foulness and came out clean on the other side.

I love when she does that shit with her hair.

I mean, think about it. How often do you look at a man’s shoes?

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.

I pick out
this guy, go in one night and do
his place. He wakes up and gives
me shit. So I killed him. Him and
the tasty bitch he was with.
(starts laughing)
That’s the best part! She’s fuckin’
this prick, see, this golf pro, but
she’s married to some other guy!
Some hotshot banker. He’s the one
they pinned it on!

i read it, in a book. can you read, you ignorant fuck?

I read it. You know how to read? You ignorant fuck.

I remember thinkin it would take 600 years to do it (escape from Shawshank) it took Andy 16

I tell ya man these walls are funny. First ya hate ’em. Then ya’ get used to ’em. Nuff time passes and ya’ get so ya’ depend on ’em. That’s institutionalized. They send ya’ away for life…and that’s EXACTLY what they take.

I think a man working outside feels more like a cam if he can have a bottle of suds.

I think a man working outside feels more like a man if he can have a bottle of suds.

I thought it would take a man 600 years to tunnel through that wall…Andy did it in twenty.

I understand you’re a man who knows how to get things.

I understand your a man who knows how to get things.

I wonder if the last thing that went through the warden’s head besides that bullet was how in the hell Andy Dufrane got the better of him

I’d like to think that the last thing that went through his brain, besides the bullet, was how andy got the best of him.

I’d like to think that the last thing that went through his head, other than that bullet, was how the hell Andy Dufresne ever got the best of him.

I’ll move you outta that one bunk hilton and put you down with the sodomites you’ll feel like you been fucked by a train

I’m Mr Norton, the warden, this is Mr Hadley the captain of the guards, you are convicted fellons

Id like to think that the last thing that went through Warden’s head, other than that bullet, was the thought how Andy Duphrane ever got the best of him

if you keep a man in here long enough thats exactly what they do…….they take your life away…well the part that counts anyway.Now thats instotutionolized.

If you wanted a toothbrush, I wouldn’t ask questions. I’d just quote
a price. A toothbrush, see, is a non-lethal sort of object.

IN 19–, Andy Dusphrene escaped from Shawshank State prison. All they found of him was a bar of soap, muddy prison clothes, and an old rock hammer, damn near worn down to the nub. I remember thinking it would take a man 600 years to tunnel through the wall with it… Old Andy did it in less than 20…

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

It’s funny. On the outsied, I was an honest man. Straight as an arrow. I had to come to prison to be a crook.

It’s my life. Don’t you understand? IT’S MY LIFE!

Its all one big conspericy and your all in on it even her.

its only after you’ve lost everything that you’re free to do anything

Just how often do you look at a man’s shoes?

Let me tell you soemthing my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane

Let me tell you something my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.

Let me think… Came here in Aught 5, they made me librarian in 1912.

Lord, it’s a miracle! A man up and vanished like a fart in the wind!

Lovesick Blues.

Man likes to play chess. Let’s get ‘im some rocks.

Man up and vanished like a fart in the wind.

no hard feelings, skin it

No thanks. I gave up drinking.

Not a day goes by I don’t feel regret, and not because I’m in here or because you think I should. I look back on myself the way I was…stupid kid who did that terrible crime…wish I could talk sense to him. Tell him how things are. But I can’t. That kid’s long gone, this old man is all that’s left, and I have to live with that. Rehabilitated? That’s a bullshit word, so you just go on ahead and stamp that form there, sonny, and stop wasting my damn time. Truth is, I don’t give a shit.

Not a day goes by I don’t feel regret. Not because I’m in here or you think I should. I look back on the way I was then. That young stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try and talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can’t. That kid’s long gone, and this old man is all that’s left. I’ve got to live with that. Rehabilitated, it’s just a bull shit word.

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

On the outside I was an honest man, straight as an arrow. The funny thing is I had to come to prison to be a crook.

Prison life consists of routine, and then more routine.

Red, I do believe you’re talking out of your ass.

red: i’m the only guilty man in here.

RED: Those of us who knew him best talk about him often. I swear, the stuff he pulled. It always makes us laugh. Sometimes it makes me sad, though, Andy being gone. I have to remind myself that some birds aren’t meant to be caged, that’s all. Their feathers are just too bright… and when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice… but still, the place you live is that much more drab and empty that they’re gone. I guess I just miss my friend.

Red:40 years I been asking permission to have a piss. I can’t squeese a drop without say so.

Red:It’s a terrible thing to live in fear, Brookes knew it all to well, all I want is to be back where things make sense, where I won’t have to be scared.

Remember, Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies.

salvation lies within

same shit, different day

Send you there for life and that’s exactly what they take. The part that counts anyways.

She was beautiful. God I loved her. I just didn’t know how to show it, that’s all. I killed her, Red. I didn’t pull the trigger, but I pushed her away. And that’s why she died, because of me.

Since I am innocent of this crime, I would say it is decidedely inconvenient that the gun was never found.

So as a joke one night I say to him…I say Yeah Elmo who’d you kill?

Some birds aren’t meant to be caged…their feathers are just too bright…and when they fly away… the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them yp does rejoice..but still…the place you live in is that more drab and empty when they’re gone…i guess i just miss my friend

Some birds aren’t meant to be caged. They’re feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knew it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. But still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they’re gone.

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

that was the longest night of my life…

That’s the beauty of music. They can’t take that away from you.

The colossal prick even managed to sound magnanimous.

the first night is the toughest no doubt about it. They march you in naked as the day you were born, skin burning and half-blind from that delozenge shit they put on you and when they put you in that cell no bars slam home, thats when you know its for real.all life blown away in the blink of an eye nothing left but time to think about it

The first night’s the hardest without a doubt. First they strip you naked like the day you were born, skin burnin from that powder stuff they throw on you.An when you go in that cell, and those bars slam shut, that’s when you know it’s for real. Your old life thrown away in the blink of an eye, with all the time in the world to think about it. – Red

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.

The funny thing is…before I came here I was as straight as and arrow…I had to come to prison to be a crook.

The government reaches inside your shirt and squeezes until your tit turns purple.

The man was so high-strung, he’d cut a loud fart and jump three feet in the air.

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

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

There are two rules here, One, no blasphemy, I will not have the Lord’s name taken in vain in my prison. The rest of the rules you’ll learn as you go.

There is a harsh truth to face. No way I’m gonna make it on the outside. All I do anymore is think of ways to break my parole. Terrible thing to live in fear. Brooks Hatlen knew it. Knew it all
too well. All I want is to be back where things make sense. Where I
won’t have to be afraid all the time. Only one thing stops me. A promise I made to Andy

There’s not a day goes by I don’t feel regret. Not because I’m in here, or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then then, a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try and talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can’t. That kid’s long gone and this old man is all that’s left. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated? It’s just a bullshit word. So you go on and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don’t give a shit.

These walls are kind of funny. First you hate ’em, then you get used to ’em. Enough time passes, gets so you depend on them. That’s institutionalized. They send you here for life, that’s exactly what they take. The part that counts, anyways.

These walls, first you hate them, then you get used to them and after enough time you come to depend on them.

They said he done shot himself right in the head

Those of us who knew him best talk about him often. I swear, the stuff he pulled. It always makes us laugh. Sometimes it makes me sad, though, Andy being gone. I have to remind myself that some birds arn’t meant to be caged, thats all. Their feathers are just too bright…and when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice…but, still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that there gone. I guess I just miss my friend.

Two Points. Right there, there’s your godamn score.Godamn cats crawling up trees, five times five is twenty five. FUCK THIS PLACE.FUCK IT.

What say fuzzy britches

What-say, fussy-britches! You feel like talkin’?

Why do they call you Red?
Maybe cause I’m Irish.

Yeah, well I guess it just comes down to a simple choice. Get busy living, or get busy dying.

You better be sick or dead in there! I shit you not! Oh, my Holy God.

You could argue he’d done it to curry favor with the guards. Or, maybe make a few friends among us cons. Me, I think he did it just to feel normal again, if only for a short while.

You’re gonna look real funny sucking my dick with no teeth.
