The Shawshank Redemption1994
Genre: Crime, Drama
Norton:
[after Andy tells him Tommy could prove Andy's innocence] I have to say, that's the most amazing story I ever heard. What amazes me most is that you were taken in by it.
Andy:
Sir?
Norton:
Well, it's obvious this fellow Williams is impressed with you. He hears your tale of woe and quite naturally, wants to cheer you up. He's young, not terribly bright. Not surprising he wouldn't know what a state he put you in.
Andy:
Sir, he's telling the truth.
Norton:
Well, let's say for the moment this Blatch does exist. You think he'd just fall to his knees and cry "Yes, I did it, I confess! Oh, and by the way, add a life term to my sentence."
Andy:
You know that wouldn't matter. With Tommy's testimony I can get a new trial.
Norton:
Well, that's assuming Blatch is still there. Chances are excellent he'd be released by now.
Andy:
Well they'd have his last known address, names of relatives. It's a chance, isn't it? [Norton shakes his head] How can you be so obtuse?
Norton:
What? What did you call me?
Andy:
Obtuse. Is it deliberate?
Norton:
Son, you're forgetting yourself.
Andy:
The country club will have his old time cards. Records, W-2s with his name on them.
Norton:
Dufresne, if you want to indulge this fantasy, that's your business. Don't make it mine. This meeting is over.
Andy:
Sir, if I ever get out, I'd never mention what happens here. I'd be just as indictable as you for laundering that money.
Norton:
[slams his fist on the table, stands angrily] Don't you ever mention money to me again, you sorry son of a b*tch; not in this office, not anywhere! [presses buzzer on his desk] Get in here!
Andy:
I was just trying to set your mind at ease, that's all. Sir, I didn't--
Norton:
[as guards enter] Solitary. A month!
Guard:
Yes, sir. [grabs Andy] Come on!
[The guards start to drag Andy out of the office]
Andy:
What's the matter with you?
Norton:
Get him out of here.
Andy:
This is my chance to get out! Don't you see that?! It's my life! Don't you understand?! My life!
Norton:
Get him out! GET HIM OUT!
