The Shawshank Redemption: Choice Words
C1
if I didn't care
more than words can say
if I didn't care
Would I feel this way?
if this isn't law
then why do I through
And what makes my head?
and
while my
Mr.. Dufresne describe the confrontation [you] had with your wife the night that she was murdered
It was very bitter she said
She wanted divorce in Reno. What was your response? [I] told her it would not grant one
I'll see you in hell before I see you in Reno those were the words you used, Mr.
Dufresne according to the testimony of your neighbors. [I] was sobering up
I got back in the car, and I drove home to sleep it off
Along the [way], [I] stopped and I threw my gun into the royal river. I feel I've been very clear on this point
Well where I get hazy is where the cleaning woman shows up the following morning and finds your wife in bed with her lover riddled
with 38 Caliber Bullets
How does that strike you as a fantastic [coincidence], Mr.. Dufresne, or is it just me?
Yes, it does yet you still maintained you threw your gun into the river before the murders took place
That's very convenient the police dragged that [river] for three days and nary a gun was found
So there could be no comparison made between your gun and the bullets taken from the blood-stained corpses of the victims
and
that also
Is very convenient?
Since I am innocent of this crime, sir. I find a decidedly inconvenient that the gun was never found
We have a beautiful young [woman] and her lover lying dead in each [other's] arms
They had sinned
but was their crime so great as to merit a death sentence [a]
revolver holds Six bullets not eight [I]
Submit that this was not a hot-blooded crime of passion that at least could be understood if not condoned now
This was revenge [of] a much more brutal and cold-blooded nature he fired the gun
[emptied] and then stopped to reload so that he could shoot each of them again
an extra bullet her lover
right in the head
You strike me as a particularly
Icy and remorseless man Mr.. Dufresne it shows my [bludgers] to look at you
By the power vested in me by the state of Maine. [I] hereby order you to serve two life sentences back to back
one for each [of] your victims something
said
We see by your file. You've served 20 [years] of a life sentence you feel you've been rehabilitated. [I] mean I learned my lesson I
Can honestly say it will change man?
No longer danger to society that's God's honest [truth]
How'd it go?
Same, Ol shit different day
Yeah, and how you feel, I'm up for rejection next week [keep] [it] [funky] again
Basically your man you missing me for five packs already for five
There must be a con like me in every prison in America
I'm the guy who can get it for you [there] near anything within reason
Yes, sir. I'm a regular Sears & Roebuck
And it came to Shawshank prison in early 1947 for murdering his wife and the fella. She was banging
You speak English, but Shake I've seen such a [sorry-looking] [heaping] maggot shitting all my life
Smokes a coin betters choice smoke put me down for two all right? Who's your horse that little sack of shit
Eight eight from the front he'll be first bullshit. I'll take that action [ya] me chill. You're out some [smoke] [son]
Let me tell you hey when you're so smart, you call it. I'll take
Good chuck fat ass there the fifth one from the front put me down for quarterdeck

Must admit I didn't think much of and the first time I laid eyes on him
Looked like a stiff breeze would blow him over
That was my first impression of the man, what do you say ready?
The tall drink of water with a silver spoon of his eggs
Vodka never [happened] damn cigarettes, that's a rigid pet all right who's Gonna prove me wrong
Haywood digger

On your feet, [I] believe [in] two things discipline in the bible here, you'll receive both
but your trust in the Lord

Welcome to Shawshank the first nights the toughest no doubt about it
They march you in naked [as] the day you were [born]
Stand Burnin and half blind from that delousing shit they throw on you
and when they put you in that cell
And those bars slam home
That's when you know it's for real
Old life blown away in the blink of an eye nothing left, but all the time in the world to think about it
most new face come close to Madness the first night
somebody always breaks down crying
happens every time
The only question is who's it Gonna be?
The boys always go fishing with first timers dream, and they don't quit delay real someone in my fat ass
Talk to me Boy

I swear by God and Sonny Jesus you will all visit the infirmary every last motherfucker in here
His first night in the joint and dufresne cost me two packs of cigarettes. [he] [never] made a sound

hard again
I like that wasn't until [a] month went by that. He finally opened his mouth to say more than two words to somebody
As it turned out that somebody was me wife killing Banker [I]?
Understand you're a man that knows how to get things
I'm known to locate certain things time time we [rock] hound
[he] [still] wasn't my old life. I'd like to be again on a limited basis well
Maybe you'd like to sink your toy in this I might his skull no sure [I]
Have no enemies here, [no]
Wait a while
word gets around
Sisters [are] taken quite a liking to you
Don't suppose it would help any if I explained to them. I'm not homosexual neither are they have to be human first. They don't qualify
Bull Queers take by Force, that's all they want to understand
If I were you, I'd grow eyes in the back of my head
Thanks for the advice. That's free. This is a specialty item
Riscos a price goes up
It's making it even ten bucks
Tentative they do catch you with it. You don't know me. You missed my name. We'd never do business again
Not for shoelaces or a stick of gum now you got that I?
understand
Thank you
[Rick] I'm sorry, right
Why did they call you that?
[maybe's] because I'm Irish I can 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 the park without a care or worrying 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
Get this in your eyes it [blinds]. You [mommy] [ah] shh?
You fight better than me I?
wish I could tell you that andy fought the good fight and the sisters let him be I
Wish I could tell you that but prison is no fairytale world
He never said who did it but we all knew
things went on like [that] for a while
prison Life consists of Routine and
then more routine I do believe those first two years [were] [the] worst [four] and
I also believe if things [are] gone on that way
This place would have got the best of it
Well this bigshot, lawyer calls me [long-distance] from Texas
Say yeah
He says sorry to inform you but [your] brother just died [oh]
Damn, [Myra] I'm sorry to hear that. Oh not

I don't need no smart wife killing banker to tell me with a bear shit in the buckwheat
Of course not, but you do need someone to set up the tax read gift for you

You get the forms I'll prepare them for you nearly free of charge
I'd only ask three beers apiece for each of my [co-workers]
Coworkers get [in] this bridge hate it

It's all in my opinion
sir
What do you do me staring at back to work work?
and
That's how it came to pass, but on the [second-to-last] day of the job
the convict crew that tarred the plate Factory roof from the spring of 49
wound up sitting in a row at [ten] o'clock in the morning drinking icy cold Bohemia [styled] beer
Courtesy of the hardest screw that ever walked a turn at [Shawshank] State prison pick up while it's cold ladies
the colossal prick even managed to sound Magnanimous
We sat and drank with the sun on our shoulders and felt like for you men
Well, we could have been tearing the roof of one of our own houses. We were the lords of all creation
as for Andy

strange Little smile [on] his face
Watching this drink his beer [ches] and there's a game of kings what?

Strategic and on total fucking mystery. [I] hate it

two things never happened again after that the sisters never laid a finger on andy again and
boggs never walked again
They transferred him to a minimum-security hospital upstate to my knowledge. He lived out the [rest] of his days drinking his food through a straw
