The Shawshank Redemption1994

Andy:
I'm Andy Dufresne.

Red:
Wife-killing banker. Why'd you do it?

Andy:
I didn't, since you ask.

Red:
[chuckles] You're gonna fit right in. Everybody in here's innocent. Didn't you know that? [calling out to Heywood] Heywood, what you in here for?

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

Red:
Rumor has it you're a real cold fish. You think your sh*t smells sweeter than most. Is that right?

Andy:
What do you think?

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

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

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

Andy:
I wonder if you might get me a rock hammer.

Red:
A what?

Andy:
A rock hammer.

Red:
What is it and why?

Andy:
What do you care?

Red:
Well, if it was a toothbrush, I wouldn't ask questions, I'd just quote a price. But then a toothbrush is a non-lethal object, isn't it?

Andy:
Fair enough. A rock hammer is about six or seven inches long, looks like a miniature pickax.

Red:
Pickax?

Andy:
For rocks.

Red:
Rocks? [Andy hands him a rock] Quartz?

Andy:
Quartz. [stoops down to pick up some more rocks] And some mica, shale, limestone.

Red:
So?

Andy:
So I'm a rock hound. At least I was in my old life. I'd like to be again on a limited basis.

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

Andy:
No, sir. No, I have no enemies here.

Red:
No? Wait a while. Word gets around. The Sisters have taken quite a liking to you. Especially Bogs. [indicates Bogs, who is watching Andy from the bleachers]

Andy:
Don't suppose it would help any if I explained to them I'm not homosexual.

Red:
Neither are they. You'd have to be human first. They don't qualify. Bull queers take by force. That's all they want or understand. But if I were you, I'd grow eyes in the back of my head.

Andy:
Thanks for the advice.

Red:
Well, that's free. You understand my concern.

Andy:
Well, if there's any trouble, I won't use the rock hammer. Okay?

Red:
Then I'd guess you want to escape. Tunnel under the wall, maybe. [Andy chuckles] Did I miss something here? What's so funny?

Andy:
You'll understand when you see the rock hammer.

Red:
What's an item like this usually go for?

Andy:
Seven dollars in any rock and gem shop.

Red:
My normal markup's 20%. But this is a specialty item. Risk goes up, price goes up. Let's make it an even ten bucks.

Andy:
Ten it is.

Red:
Waste of money, if you ask me.

Andy:
Why's that?

Red:
Folks around here love surprise inspections. They find it, you're gonna lose it. If they do catch you with it, you don't know me. You mention my name, we never do business again. Not for shoelaces or a stick of gum; now you got that?

Andy:
I understand. Thank you, Mr...?

Red:
Red. Name's Red.

Andy:
Red. Why do they call you that?

Red:
Maybe it's because I'm Irish.
