RED (V.O.) I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I dont want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. Id like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it cant expressed in words, and it makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a great 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 Shawshank felt free.

That there's something inside they can't get to; that they can't touch that's yours. RED What are you talking about? ANDY Hope. RED Let me tell you something, my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane. It's no use on the inside. Better get use to that idea. ANDY Like Brooks did?75-Redsitsinfrontoftheparoleboard,andaPerserving30yearsofalifesentence,theydeny

We just have to put it behind us... move on. ANDY I'm done. Everything stops. Get someone else to run your scams. WARDEN Nothing stops. Nothing... or you will do the hardest time there is. No more protection from the guards. I'll pull you out of that one-bunk Hilton and cast you down with the Sodomites. You'll think you've been fucked by a train! 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! You understand me? Catching my drift?... Or am I being obtuse? [to Hadley] Give him another month to think about it.104-APersixtydaysinthehole,AndytellsRedhe'dgotoZihuatanejo,Mexicoifheevergot

RED (V.O.) In 1966, Andy Dufresne escaped from Shawshank prison. All they found of him was a muddy set of prison clothes, a bar of soap, and an old rock hammer, damn near worn down to the nub. I remember thinking it would take a man six hundred years to tunnel through the wall with it. Old Andy did it in less than twenty.116-FLASHBACK:Andy,withhisnewrockhammer,aemptstochiselhisnameinthecellwallanddiscoversthewallbreaksawayeasily.

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: 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.

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.
