• Heywood : The Count of Monte Crisco...

  Floyd : That's "Cristo" you dumb shit.

  Heywood : ...by Alexandree Dumb-ass. Dumb-ass.

  Andy Dufresne : Dumb-ass? "Dumas". You know what it's about? You'll like it, it's about a prison break.

  Red : We oughta file that under "Educational" too, oughten we?

• Captain Hadley : Dufresne!

  [to Dekins] 

  Captain Hadley : That's him. That's the one.

  Guard Dekins : I'm Dekins. I was thinking about setting up some kind of trust fund for my kids' educations.

  Andy Dufresne : Oh, I see. Well, why don't we have a seat and talk it over. Brooks, do you have a piece of paper and a pencil? Thanks. So, Mr. Dekins...

  Brooks : [at lunchtime to the other prisoners]  And then Andy says, "Mr. Dekins, do you want your sons to go to Harvard... or Yale?"

  Floyd : He didn't say that!

  Brooks : God is my witness! Dekins just looked at him a second and then he laughed himself silly and afterwards he actually shook Andy's hand.

  Heywood : My ass.

  Brooks : Shook his hand! I near soiled myself, I mean all Andy needed was a suit and a tie and a little jiggly hula gal on his desk and he woulda been *Mister* Dufresne, if you please.

  Red : Making a few friends, huh Andy?

  Andy Dufresne : I wouldn't say friends. I'm a convicted murderer who provides sound financial planning - it's a wonderful pet to have.

• Heywood : Red! I got one! I got one, look!

  Ernie : Heywood, that isn't soapstone.

  Floyd : And it ain't alabaster, either!

  Heywood : Well what the hell is it then?

  Red : It's a horse apple.

  Heywood : Bullshit...

  Red : No, horseshit! Petrified.

  Heywood : [breaks it open]  Oh, Jesus... Oh, man...

• Red : I'm tellin' you, the guy's... he's talkin' funny. We better keep an eye on him.

  Snooze : That's fine during the day but at night he's got that cell all to himself.

  Heywood : [remembering something]  Oh lord...

  Red : What?

  Heywood : Andy come down to the loading dock today. He asked me for a length of rope.

  Red : Rope?

  Heywood : [meaningfully]  Six feet long.

  Snooze : And you gave it to him?

  Heywood : Sure I did, why wouldn't I?

  Floyd : Jesus, Heywood!

  Heywood : [upset]  How was I supposed to know?

  Floyd : Remember Brooks Hatlen?

  Snooze : No. Andy'd never do that. Never.

  Red : I don't know. Every man's got his breaking point.

• Heywood : It's a fine morning, ain't it? You know why it's a fine morning, don't ya? Come on, set 'em down. I want 'em all lined up, just like a pretty little chorus line.

  [the cons pull out cigarettes and hand them over to Heywood, who lines them up in front of him. He takes a long whiff] 

  Heywood : Ah, yes. Richmond, Virginia.

  Floyd : Smell my ass.

• Floyd : Takin' bets today, Red?

  Red : Smokes or coins, better's choice.

  Floyd : Smokes. Put me down for two.

  Red : All right, who's your horse?

  Floyd : That little sack o' shit. Eighth, eighth from the front. He'll be first.

  Heywood : Aw, bullshit. I'll call that action. You out some smokes, son, let me tell you!

  Floyd : Well, Heywood, you so smart, you call it!

  Heywood : I'll take the chubby fat-ass there. Fifth from the front. Put me down for a quarter deck.

• Floyd : [Dismissing Red's theory on why Brooks killed himself]  Red, I do believe you're talking out of your ass.
