Groundhog Day + The Shawshank Redemption

This can't happen in a Chinese prison

No freedom is too scary to be able to die in a hurry

The flightless bird reminds me of the old me

A previous jailbreak tool was lost

Rehabilitation? Do you know what the word means, the unabridged version of Webster's International Dictionary says it comes from the Latin root Habilis, which is defined as: to restore dignity.

Have you considered that part of your job is giving a person the dignity he once had?

Your only interest is how he behaves.

You said it to me once a long time ago, and I never forget: "You should behave as we want". For 35 years, you didn't back down an inch from your position, and you wanted your prisoners to dance outside the door like marionettes, all in compliance with the mandatory values ​​you established, in your requirements for obedience, for behavior. The norm, and even your sense of morality, Harvey, that's why you failed, you and your entire science of prison management failed, because you stole from prisoners the most important thing in their lives-- their personalities. After going out they are lost, like robots, living a step-by-step life, but have a deep, deep hatred in their hearts for what you have imposed on them, and once they have a chance to take revenge on society, they won't let it go. The result? More than half returned to prison.

Now that this is all written into my book, I suggest you read it, read it carefully and thoroughly.

For Strauss, the microscope was the beacon he had been waiting for

Lights the way to a wondrous and precise study of scientific truth

His subjects: birds His tools: curiosity, dedication, the guts of boating along the river

He made great strides, designing readings in his research to approximate the content of a university medical course

Cytology, Morphology, Biochemistry,

Now Stroud thinks he's good enough to start a new project

This is what he has long dreamed of

Complete and reliable research on bird diseases

He has found cures for some of his ailments

He can hardly read the names of those diseases

like septicaemia aspergillus diphtheria cholera

He even found a cure for bird paralysis

Thus saving the lives of thousands of chicks on poultry farms

The title of his book is Stroud Digest of Bird Diseases

The content of this book is beyond doubt

This old prisoner is the world's top authority in this field

This book took seven years to write

Not only that, he is very dedicated

He spent more than 3000 hours beside his microscope

Hundreds of diagrams created for over 5000 organizational structures

He has one of the best slideshow collections of living birds

Knows more about anatomical pathology than any other living person

Birdman of Alcatraz quotes

  • Elizabeth Stroud: Sit down, Robbie. I want to talk to you about her.

    Robert Stroud: About Stella?

    Elizabeth Stroud: Your association with her will bring you nothing but trouble.

    Robert Stroud: I don't know what you mean.

    Elizabeth Stroud: I thought from the start she's the wrong kind of a woman for you to align yourself with.

    Robert Stroud: She's worked her heart out for me. She saved my bacon.

    Elizabeth Stroud: All right. She was of use temporarily, but she's served her purpose. And now if you'll follow my advice, you'll get rid of her.

    Robert Stroud: I don't understand what you're talkin' about, Mom. She's my wife.

    Elizabeth Stroud: Your trouble began with that other woman in Alaska. She's the same kind of a woman. She's a common adventuress.

    Robert Stroud: Don't say things like that, Mother. She's a good woman. And she's kind. And she'd do anything in the world for me.

    Elizabeth Stroud: It's disaster, Robbie. She'll bring you nothing but heartache. Besides, all she wanted was the publicity.

    Robert Stroud: Mother... you can't be serious. I can't believe this is happening.

    Elizabeth Stroud: Give her up, Robbie. Forget her.

    Robert Stroud: You act as though you wanted me here for all time. With you as my only outside connection.

    Elizabeth Stroud: Then you choose her instead of your own mother?

    Robert Stroud: Don't say any more, Mother. Please.

    Elizabeth Stroud: That's your decision? To desert me?

  • Robert Stroud: Why did you come 2,000 miles for nothing? Just to see me once a month?

    Stella Johnson: I came because I'm your wife, that's why. Bob, the only life I got is you.

    Robert Stroud: Then you've got a damned poor future, old girl. I'm never gonna get outta here.

    Stella Johnson: I could get a job in a factory. I could write letters every day. It would be like old times.

    Robert Stroud: You'd wither away and die waiting. Forget it, Stell. It's the end of the line.

    Robert Stroud: Please, Bob.

    Robert Stroud: Now, listen to me. Listen carefully. You fought your heart out for me. You fought your heart out for me, but the sun's gone down. And don't look for it to rise again. I want you to pretend that I'm a dead man. I want you to pretend... that you're standin' on my grave.
