Shawshank Redemption

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

Warden Samuel Norton:
Do you enjoy working in the laundry?

Andy Dufresne:
No sir, not especially.

Boggs:
Hey, anybody come at you yet? Anybody get to you yet?

Boggs:
Hey, we all need friends in here. I could be a friend to you.

Boggs:
Hard to get. I like that...

Andy Dufresne:
It's my life. Don't you understand? IT'S MY LIFE!

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.

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 motherf***er in here.

District Attorney:
And that also is very convenient, isn't it, Mr. Dufresne?

Andy Dufresne:
Since I am innocent of this crime, I find it decidedly INCONVENIENT that the gun was never found.

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

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

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

Red:
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.

Andy Dufresne:
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.

Andy Dufresne:
That's the beauty of music. They can't take that away from you.

Andy Dufresne:
If they ever try to trace any of those accounts, they're gonna end up chasing a figment of my imagination.

Red:
Well, I'll be damned. Did I say you were good? Sh*t, you're a Rembrandt!

Andy Dufresne:
Yeah. The funny thing is - on the outside, I was an honest man, straight as an arrow. I had to come to prison to be a crook.

Red:
Does it ever bother you?

Andy Dufresne:
I don't run the scams Red, I just process the profits. Fine line maybe but I also built that library and used it to help a dozen guys get their high school diploma. Why do you think the warden lets me do all that?

Red:
To keep you happy and doing the laundry. Money instead of sheets.

Tommy Williams:
I don't read so good.

Andy Dufresne:
Well.

Andy Dufresne:
You don't read so *well*. Uh, we'll get to that.

Fat Ass:
I'm not supposed to be here! I want to go home! I want my ma!

Captain Hadley:
What the Christ is this happy horseshit?

Captain Hadley:
You'll be tellin' the warden about my baton up your ass!

Red:
Makin' yourself some friends, Andy.

Andy Dufresne:
I wouldn't say "friends". I'm a convicted murderer who provides sound financial planning.

Boggs:
Now, I'm gonna open my fly and you're gonna swallow what I give ya to swallow. And when you swallow mine you're gonna swallow Rooster's cause ya done broke his nose and I think he oughta have something to show for it.

Andy Dufresne:
Anything you put in my mouth you're gonna lose.

Boggs:
Naw, you don't understand. You do that and I'll put all eight inches of steel in your ear.

Andy Dufresne:
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 crowbar.

Boggs:
Where do you get this sh*t?

Andy Dufresne:
I read it. You know how to read, you ignorant f***?

Warden Samuel Norton:
Lord! It's a miracle! Man up and vanished like a fart in the wind!

Andy Dufresne:
Can you get her?

Red:
It'll take a few weeks.

Andy Dufresne:
Weeks?

Red:
Well yeah, Andy. I don't have her stuffed down my pants right now, sorry to say, but relax, I'll get her.

Rita Hayworth:

Red:
I love when she does that sh*t with her hair.

Andy Dufresne:
Get busy living, or get busy dying.

Floyd:
Red, I do believe you're talking out of your ass.

Red:
Rehabilitated? Now let me see. You know, I don't have any idea what that means.

Red:
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?

Red:
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 sh*t.

Andy Dufresne:
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.

Red:
You're gonna fit right in. Everyone in here is innocent. Heywood, what're you in here for?

Heywood:
Didn't do it. Lawyer f***ed me.

Fat Ass:
You don't understand. I'm not supposed to be here!

Captain Hadley:
I'm not going to count to three. I'm not even going to count to one. You WILL shut the f*** up NOW or I'll sing you a lullaby!

Red:
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.

Brooks:
Dear Fellas, I can't believe how fast things move on the outside. I saw an automobile once when I was a kid. But, 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 Brewer, and a job bagging groceries at the Foodway. It's hard work, and I try to keep up, but my hands hurt most of the time.

Captain Hadley:
You eat when we say you eat. You sh*t when we say you sh*t. You piss when we say you piss. You got that, you maggot dick motherf***er?

Red:
King me.

Andy Dufresne:
Chess. Now there's a game of kings.

Red:
What?

Andy Dufresne:
Civilized. Strategic...

Red:
...and a total f***in' mystery. I hate it.

Tommy Williams:
So I'm backing out the door, right, and I got the TV, like this; it was a big old thing, I couldn't see sh*t; suddenly I hear this voice, "Police, kid, hands in the air." You know, I was standing there, holdin' on to that TV, so finally the voice says, "You hear what I said, boy?" And I say, "Yes sir, I sure did, but if I drop this f***ing thing you got me on destruction of property too."

Andy Dufresne:
I had to go to prison to become a criminal.

Red:
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.

Heywood:
The Count of Monte Crisco...

Floyd:
That's "Cristo" you dumb sh*t.

Heywood:
...by Alexandree Dumb-ass. Dumb-ass.

Andy Dufresne:
Dumb-ass? "Dumas". You know what it's about? You'll like it, it's about a prison break.

Red:
Well we should file that one under "Educational" too, oughten we?

Andy Dufresne:
I just don't understand what happened in there.

Heywood:
Old man's as crazy as a rat in a tin shithouse, is what.

Red:
Oh Heywood, that's enough out of you!

Ernie:
I heard he you shittin' in your pants!

Heywood:
Hey, f*** you!

Red:
Would you knock it off? Brooks ain't no bug. He's just institutionalized.

Heywood:
Institutionalized, my ass.

Red:
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.

Red:
Geology is the study of pressure and time. Thats all it takes really... pressure... and time... That, and a big goddamn poster.

Andy Dufresne:
Maybe you should try a new career.

Tommy Williams:
What's that?

Andy Dufresne:
I said, since you don't have much success as a thief, you should try a new career.

Tommy Williams:
Oh, yeah? Well, what do you know about it Al Capone? What're you in here for?

Andy Dufresne:
Me? Lawyer f***ed me. Everybody in here's innocent. Didn't you know that?

Red:
One day, when I have a gray beard and a few marbles rollin' around upstairs, that's when they'll let me out.

Andy Dufresne:
I have no enemies here.

Red:
Wait a while. Word has it the Sisters have taken quite a likin' to you. Especially Bogs.

Andy Dufresne:
I don't suppose it would help if I told them that I'm not homosexual.

Red:
Neither are they. You have to be human first. They don't qualify.

Floyd:
Takin' bets today, Red?

Red:
Smokes or coins, bettor's choice.

Floyd:
Smokes. Put me down for two.

Red:
All right, who's your horse?

Floyd:
That little sack o' sh*t. Eighth, eighth from the front. He'll be first.

Heywood:
Aw, bullshit. I'll call that action. You out some smokes, son, let me tell you!

Floyd:
Well, Heywood, you so smart, you call it!

Heywood:
I'll take the chubby fat-ass there. Fifth from the front. Put me down for a quarter deck.

Heywood:
It's a fine morning, ain't it? You know why it's a fine morning, don't ya? Come on, roll 'em out. I want all lined, like a pretty little chorus line.

Heywood:
Aw, yes. Richmond, Virginia.

Floyd:
Smell my ass.

Andy Dufresne:
What was his name?

Heywood:
What did you say?

Andy Dufresne:
I was just wondering if anybody knew his name.

Heywood:
F*** do you care, new fish? Doesn't f***in' matter what his name was. He's dead.

Andy Dufresne:
Dear Warden, You were right. Salvation lies within.

District Attorney:
Mr. Dufresne, describe the confrontation you had with your wife the night that she was murdered.

Andy Dufresne:
It was very bitter. She said she was glad I knew, that she hated all the sneaking around. And she said that she wanted a divorce in Reno.

Red:
You gonna open it, or stick your thumb up your butt?

Tommy Williams:
Thumb up my butt sounds better.

Red:
[narrating] Not long after the warden deprived us of his company, I got a postcard in the mail. It was blank, but the postmark said Fort Hancock, Texas. Fort Hancock... right on the border. That's where Andy crossed. When I picture him heading south in his own car with the top down, it always makes me laugh. Andy Dufresne... who crawled through a river of sh*t and came out clean on the other side. Andy Dufresne... headed for the Pacific.

Red:

I just miss my friend.

Andy:
You know, the funny thing is, on the inside I was an honest man, straight as an arrow. I had to go to prison to be a crook.

Andy:
Get busy living or get busy dying.
