肖申克的救赎Shawshank Redemption Movie Script

ANDY:

That there are things in this world not carved out of gray stone. That there's a small place inside of us they can never lock away, and that place is called hope.

RED:

Hope is a dangerous thing. Drive a man insane. It's got no place here.

Better get used to the idea.

ANDY:

(softly) Like Brooks did?

FADE TO BLACK:

151 AN IRON-BARRED DOOR 151 slides open with an enormous CLANG. A stark room beyond.

CAMERA PUSHES through. SEVEN HUMORLESS MEN sit at a long table. An empty chair faces them. We are again in: INT -- SHAWSHANK HEARINGS ROOM -- DAY (1957) Red enters, ten years older than when we first saw him at a parole hearing. He removes his cap and sits.

MAN #l It says here you've served thirty years of a life sentence.

MAN #2 You feel you've been rehabilitated?

RED:

Yes sir, without a doubt. I can say I'm a changed man. No danger to society, that's the God's honest truth. Absolutely rehabilitated.

CLOSEUP -- PAROLE FORM

A big rubber stamp slams down:

"REJECTED." 152EXT -- PRISON YARD -- DUSK (1957) 152 Red emerges into fading daylight. Andy's waiting for him.

RED:

Same old, same old. Thirty years.

Jesus. When you say it like that...

ANDY:

You wonder where it went. I wonder where ten years went.

Red nods, solemn. They settle in on the bleachers. Andy pulls a small box from his sweater, hands it to Red.

ANDY:

Anniversary gift. Open it.

Red does. Inside the box, on a thin layer of cotton, is a shiny new harmonica, bright aluminum and circus-red.

ANDY:

Had to go through one of your competitors. Hope you don't mind.

Wanted it to be a surprise.

RED:

It's very pretty, Andy. Thank you.

ANDY:

You gonna play something?

-- Red considers it, shakes his head. Softly:

RED:

Not today.

153INT -- CELLBLOCK FIVE/ANDY'S CELL -- NIGHT (1957) 153 Men line the tiers as the evening count is completed. The convicts step into their cells. The master switch is thrown and all the doors slam shut -- KA-THUMP! Andy finds a

cardboard tube on his bunk. The note reads:

"A new girl for your 10 year anniversary. From your pal. Red." 154INT -- ANDY'S CELL -- LATER (1957) 154 Marilyn Monroe's face fills the screen. SLOW PULL BACK reveals
