💬 The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

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.
