Not surprising he didn't know what a state he'd put you in.

ANDY:

I think he's telling the truth.

NORTON:

Let's say for a moment Blatch does exist. You think he'd just fall to his knees and cry, "Yes, I did it! I confess! By all means, please add a life term to my sentence!"

ANDY:

It wouldn't matter. With Tommy's testimony, I can get a new trial.

NORTON:

That's assuming Blatch is even still there. Chances are excellent he'd be released by now. Excellent.

ANDY:

They'd have his last known address.

Names of relatives... (Norton shakes his head) Well it's a chance. isn't it? How can you be so obtuse?

NORTON:

What? What did you call me?

ANDY:

Obtuse! Is it deliberate? The country club will have his old time cards! W-2s with his name on them!

NORTON:

(rises) Dufresne, if you want to indulge this fantasy, that's your business.

Don't make it mine. This meeting's over.

ANDY:

Look, if it's the squeeze, don't worry. I'd never say what goes on in here. I'd be just as indictable as you for laundering the money!

NORTON:

Don't you ever mention money to me again, you sorry son of a b*tch! Not in this office, not anywhere! (slaps intercom) Get in here! Now!

ANDY:

I was just trying to rest your mind at ease, that's all.

NORTON:

(as GUARDS enter) Solitary! A month! Andy gets dragged away, kicking and screaming:

ANDY:

What's the matter with you? It's my chance to get out, don't you see that? It's my life! Don't you understand it's my life?

FLOYD:

A month in the hole. Longest damn stretch I ever heard of.

TOMMY:

It's my fault.

RED:

Like hell. You didn't pull the trigger, and you didn't convict him.
