I remember thinking it would take a man 600 years to tunnel through the wall with it. Old Andy did it in less than 20. Oh, Andy loved geology. I imagine it appealed to his meticulous nature. An Ice Age here, a million years of mountain-building there. Geology is the study of pressure and time. That's all it takes, really. Pressure... and time. That and a big goddamn poster. Like I said, in prison, a man will do most anything to keep his mind occupied.

I asked and she said yes. Promise me, Red, if you ever get out, find that spot. At the base of that wall, you'll find a rock that has no earthly business in a Maine hayfield. A piece of black, volcanic glass. There's something buried under it I want you to have. What, Andy? What's buried under there? You'll have to pry it up to see.

If they ever catch on, though, he's gonna wind up in here wearing a number himself. Now, Red, I thought you had a little more faith in me than that. I know you're good, Andy, but all that paper leaves a trail. Now, anybody gets curious, the FBI, the IRS, whatever, it's gonna lead to somebody. Sure it is. But not to me. And certainly not to the Warden.

Morning, fellas. Fine morning, ain't it? You know why it's a fine morning, don't you? Come on. Set 'em down. I want 'em all lined up here, just like a pretty little chorus line. Yeah, look at that! - Look at that. Oh, Lord! - I can't stand this guy. Yes. Richmond, Virginia. - Smell my ass! - After he smells mine. Gee, Red, it was a terrible shame about your horse coming in last, an' all. But I sure do love that winning horse of mine, though. I owe that boy a great big, sloppy kiss when I see him. Why don't you give him some of your cigarettes, instead? Lucky fuck. Hey, Tyrell. You pull infirmary duty this week? How's that horse of mine doing? Dead. Hadley busted his head up pretty good. The doc had already gone home for the night. Poor bastard lay there till this morning. By then, hell, there weren't nothing we could do.

Hey, you've done a stretch in Cashman, right? Yeah. Yeah, that was an easy piece of time, let me tell you. Weekend furloughs, work programs. Not like here. Sounds like you done time all over New England. Yeah, I've been in and out since I was 13. You name the place, chances are I've been there. Perhaps it's time you tried a new profession? What I mean is, you don't seem to be a good thief. Maybe you should try something else. Yeah, well, what the hell do you know about it, Capone? What are you in for? Me?

It says here that you've served 30 years of a life sentence. You feel you've been rehabilitated? Oh, yes, sir. Without a doubt. And I can honestly say I'm a changed man. No danger to society here. God's honest truth.

The next morning, right about the time Raquel was spilling her little secret, a man nobody ever laid eyes on before strode into the Maine National Bank. Until that moment, he didn't exist, except on paper. May I help you? He had all the proper ID, driver's license, birth certificate, social security card. And the signature was a spot-on match. I must say, I'm sorry to be losing your business. I hope you'll enjoy living abroad. Thank you. I'm sure I will. Here's your cashier's check, sir. Will there be anything else? Please... Would you add this to your outgoing mail? I'd be happy to. - Good day, sir. - Good day. Mr. Stevens visited nearly a dozen banks in the Portland area that morning. All told, he blew town with better than $370,000 of Warden Norton's money. Severance pay for 19 years.

Well, it's for shit. I wasted a whole fucking year of my time - with this bullshit. - It's probably not as bad as you think. It's worse. I didn't get one thing right. It might as well have been in Chinese. Let's see how the score comes out. Well, I'll tell you how the goddamn score comes out. Two points right there. There's your goddamn score! Goddamn cats crawling up trees, 5x5 is 25. Fuck this place! Fuck it!

What do you mean, he just wasn't here? Don't say that to me, Haig. Don't say that to me again. But, sir, he wasn't. I can see that, Haig! You think I'm blind? Is that what you're saying? Am I blind, Haig? No, sir. What about you? Are you blind? - Tell me what this is. - Last night's count. You see Dufresne's name there? I sure do. See? Right there. Dufresne.

I find I'm so excited I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel. A free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.
