To the right. Right, right, right. Left, left... The first night's the toughest. No doubt about it. They march you in, naked as the day you were born, skin burning 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.

Willy And The Hand Jive ♪♪ ♪♪ I know a cat named... ♪♪ Tommy Williams came to Shawshank in 1965 on a two-year stretch for B&E. That's breaking and entering to you. The cops caught him sneaking TV sets out the back door of a JC Penney. Young punk. Mr. Rock'n'roll. Cocky as hell. Hey, come on, old boys! Moving like molasses! Making me look bad. We liked him immediately. So I'm backing out the door, right? And I got the TV like this. It was a big old thing. I couldn't see shit. Suddenly, I hears this voice. "Freeze, kid! Hands in the air." Well, I just stand there, holding onto that TV. So, finally, the voice says, "Do you hear what I said, boy?" I say, "Yes, sir, I sure did. But if I drop this fucking thing, you got me on destruction of property, too."

Byron Hadley? You have the right to remain silent. If you give up the right to remain silent, anything you say will be held against you in court. I wasn't there to see it. But I hear Byron Hadley started sobbing like a little girl when they took him away.

I don't suppose it would help any if I explained to them I'm not homosexual. Neither are they. You have to be human first. They don't qualify.

I gotta live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bullshit word. So you go on and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a shit.

Fair enough. A rock hammer is about six or seven inches long. Looks like a miniature pickaxe. Pickaxe? - For rocks. - Rocks.

It turns out Andy's favorite hobby was toting his wall out into the exercise yard. A handful at a time. I guess after Tommy was killed, Andy decided he'd been here just about long enough. Lickety-split. I want to get home.

Carter, James... Not long after the Warden deprived us of his company, I got a postcard in the mail. It was blank but the postmark said... Fort Hancock, Texas. Fort Hancock. Right on the border. That's where Andy crossed. When I picture him heading south in his own car with the top down, it always makes me laugh. Andy Dufresne, who crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side. Andy Dufresne, headed for the Pacific.

And by the weekend he was due back, we had enough rocks to keep him busy till rapture. I also got a big shipment in that week. Cigarettes. Chewing gum. Sipping whisky. Playing cards with naked ladies on them. You name it. And of course, the most important item.
