Let me tell you something my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.
Bogs Diamond: Now, I'm gonna open my fly and you're gonna swallow what I give ya to swallow. And after you swallow mine you're gonna swallow Rooster's cause ya done broke his nose and I think he oughta have something to show for it.Andy Dufresne: Anything you put in my mouth you're gonna lose.Bogs Diamond: Naw, you don't understand. You do that and I'll put all eight inches of steel in your ear.Andy Dufresne: All right. But you should know that sudden serious brain injury causes the victim to bite down hard. In fact, I hear the bite reflex is so strong they have to pry the victims jaws open with a crowbar.Bogs Diamond: Where do you get this shit?Andy Dufresne: I read it. You know how to read, you ignorant fuck?
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.
Warden Samuel Norton: Well?Red: Well what?Warden Samuel Norton: I see you two all the time, you're thick as thieves, you are. He musta said something.Red: Honest, Warden, not a word.Warden Samuel Norton: Lord, it's a miracle! Man up and vanished like a fart in the wind! Nothing left but some damn rocks on the windowsill. And that cupcake on the wall! Let's ask her, maybe she knows.Warden Samuel Norton: What say you there, fuzzy-britches? Feel like talking? Aw, guess not. Why should she be any different?Warden Samuel Norton: This is a conspiracy, that's what it is.Warden Samuel Norton: One... big... damn conspiracy! And everyone's in on it, including her!
