Bullshit. No such thing as easy time in the hole.

A week seems like a year.

Damn straight.
Andy: [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart|Mr. Mozart]
I had ] to keep me company.
Floyd:
So they let you tote that record player down there, huh?
Andy: [points and taps his head.; gestures over his heart]
It was in here. And in here. That's the beauty of music. They can't get that from you. Haven't you ever felt that way about music?
Ellis:
Well, I played a mean harmonica as a younger man. Lost interest in it, though. Didn't make too much sense in here.
Andy:
Well, here's where it makes the most sense. You need it so you don't forget.
Ellis:
Forget?
Andy:
That there are places in the world that aren't made out of stone. That there's something inside that they can't get to. that they can't touch. It's yours.
Ellis:
What are you talkin about?
Andy:
Hope.
Ellis:
Hope? Let me tell you something, my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane. It's got no use on the inside. You'd better get used to that idea.
Andy:
Like Brooks did?
