CON #1: Hey, Red. How'd it go?  RED: Same old ***, different day.
CON #1: Yeah, I know how you feel. I'm up for rejection next week.  CON #2: Yeah, I got rejected last week. It happens.  CON #3: Hey, Red, bump me a deck .
RED: Get the *** out of my face, man! You're into me for five packs already.  CON #3: Four.  RED: Five!
RED (V.O.): There's must be a con like me in every prison in America. I'm the guy who can get it for you. Cigarettes, a bag of reefer if that's your thing, a bottle of brandy to celebrate your kid's high school graduation. Damn near anything within reason. Yes sir, I'm a regular Sears & Roebuck.
RED: So when Andy Dufresne came to me in 1949 and asked me to smuggle Rita Hayworth into the prison for him, I told him no problem.
Red: I could 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 a worry in the world. Like he had on an invisible coat that would shield him from this place .
I think it'd be fair to say I liked Andy from the start.

Andy: “It's funny. On the outside, I was an honest man. Straight as an arrow. I had to come to prison to be a crook.”

“We see by your file you've served twenty years of a life sentence. You feel you've been rehabilitated?”

RED : “Yes, sir. Absolutely. I've learned
my lesson. I can honestly say I'm a changed man. I'm no longer a danger to society. That's the God's honest truth. No doubt about it.”

“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 bull*** word. So you go on and stamp your forms, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don’t give a ***.”

“Get busy living or get busy dying.”

“Remember, Red. Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.”

---by Andy Dufresne

Comments:The Shawshank Redemption is one of my favorite movies. Here I choose to make a comparison between different answers in different times of Red. We can tell the change in one person in prison with ease by the parole meetings. At first, the narrator was trying to seize every opportunity to touch them and get the permission. However, 20 years of institutionalized life in bars has ground his hope. The most beautiful part of the film lies within its thematic material, such as its focus on the human desires for the most abstract concepts, like hope, freedom and a true sense of redemption in your soul .
