The Shawshank Redemption quotes

  • [after Brooks held a knife to Heywood's throat]

    Andy Dufresne: I just don't understand what happened in there.

    Heywood: Old man's crazy as a rat in a tin shithouse, is what.

    Red: Oh Heywood, that's enough out of you!

    Ernie: I heard he had you shittin' in your pants!

    Heywood: Fuck you!

    Red: Would you knock it off? Brooks ain't no bug. He's just... just institutionalized.

    Heywood: Institutionalized, my ass.

    Red: The man's been in here fifty years, Heywood. Fifty years! This is all he knows. In here, he's an important man. He's an educated man. Outside, he's nothin'! Just a used up con with arthritis in both hands.

  • Red: [narrating, referring to the warden committing suicide] I'd like to think that the last thing that went through his head, other than that bullet, was to wonder how the hell Andy Dufresne ever got the best of him.
