肖申克的救赎Shawshank Redemption Movie Script

(off Andy's look) Bull queers take by force, that's all they want or understand. I'd grow eyes in the back of my head if I were you.

ANDY:

Thanks for the advice.

RED:

That comes free. But you understand my concern.

ANDY:

If there's trouble, I doubt a rock- hammer will do me any good.

RED:

Then I guess you wanna escape.

Tunnel under the wall maybe?

(Andy laughs politely) I miss the joke. What's so funny?

ANDY:

You'll know when you see the rock- hammer.

RED:

What's this item usually go for?

ANDY:

Seven dollars in any rock and gem shop.

RED:

My standard mark-up's twenty percent, but we're talkin' about a special object. Risk goes up, price goes up. Call it ten bucks even.

ANDY:

Ten it is.

RED:

I'll see what I can do.

(rises, slapping dust) But it's a waste of money.

ANDY:

Oh?

RED:

Folks who run this place love surprise inspections. They turn a blind eye to some things, but not a gadget like that. They'll find it, and you'll lose it. Mention my name, we'll never do business again. Not for a pair of shoelaces or a stick of gum.

ANDY:

I understand. Thank you, Mr...?

RED:

Red. The name's Red.

ANDY:

Red. I'm Andy. Pleasure doing business with you.

They shake. Andy strolls off. Red watches him go.

RED (V.O.) 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 a park without a care or worry. Like he had on an invisible coat that would shield him from this place.

(resumes playing catch) Yes, I think it would be fair to say I liked Andy from the start.

37INT -- MESS HALL -- DAY (1947) 37 Red gets his breakfast and heads for a table. Andy falls in step, slips him a tightly-folded square of paper.

38INT -- RED'S CELL -- NIGHT (1947) 38 Lying on his bunk, Red unfolds the square. A ten dollar bill.

RED (V.O.) He was a man who adapted fast.
