Everyone else has finished speaking, let me say something clever

This film has already been smashed under the microscope to nanoscale research, so I won't say much about it. Saying something that others haven't said before means that I'm not ignorant either -- this kind of attitude is probably called cleverness.
Why do you have to climb out of the underground pipes 5 football fields long? The pipe here clearly symbolizes the vagina, and the person who climbs out is reborn. The prison uniform, which symbolizes the afterbirth, represents the heavy rain of baptism. These props work in one go and work well together.

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.
