肖申克的救赎Shawshank Redemption Movie Script

RED:

Goddamn it, Andy, stop! Don't do that to yourself! Talking shitty pipedreams! Mexico's down there, and you're in here, and that's the way it is!

ANDY:

You're right. It's down there, and I'm in here. I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really. Get busy living or get busy dying.

Red snaps a look. What the hell does that mean? Andy rises and walks away. Red lunges to his feet.

RED:

Andy?

ANDY:

(turns back) Red, if you ever get out of here, do me a favor. There's this big hayfield up near Buxton. You know where Buxton is?

RED:

(nods) Lots of hayfields there.

ANDY:

One in particular. Got a long rock wall with a big oak at the north end. Like something out of a Robert Frost poem. It's where I asked my (MORE) ANDY (cont.) wife to marry me. We'd gone for a picnic. We made love under that tree. I asked and she said yes.

(beat) Promise me, Red. If you ever get out, find that spot. In the base of that wall you'll find a rock that has no earthly business in a Maine hayfield. A piece of black volcanic glass. You'll find something buried under it I want you to have.

RED:

What? What's buried there?

ANDY:

You'll just have to pry up that rock and see.

Andy turns and walks away.

RED:

I tell you, the man was talkin' crazy. I'm worried, I truly am.

SKEET:

We ought to keep an eye on him.

JIGGER:

That's fine, during the day. But at night he's got that cell all to himself.

HEYWOOD:

Oh Lord. Andy come down to the loading dock today. Asked me for a length of rope. Six foot long.

SNOOZE:

Sh*t! You gave it to him?

HEYWOOD:

Sure I did. I mean why wouldn't I?

FLOYD:

Christ! Remember Brooks Hatlen?

HEYWOOD:

How the hell was I s'pose to know?

JIGGER:

Andy'd never do that. Never.

They all look to Red.

RED:

Every man's got a breaking point.
