(refers to his notes) I'll see you in Hell before I see you in Reno. Those were the words you used, Mr. Dufresne, according to the testimony of your neighbors.

2ND TITLE UP D.A.
What happened after you and your wife argued?
ANDY:
She packed a bag and went to stay with Mr. Quentin.

Along the way, I stopped and threw my gun into the Royal River. I feel I've been very clear on this point.

Yes, you have. Where I get hazy, though, is the part where the cleaning woman shows up the next morning and finds your wife and her lover in bed, riddled with .38 caliber bullets. Does that strike you as a fantastic coincidence, Mr.
