ANDY: My wife used to say I’m a hard man to know. Like a closed book. Complained about it all the time. She was beautiful. God, I loved her. I just didn’t know how to show it, that’s all. I killed her, Red. I didn’t pull the trigger. But I drove her away. That’s why she died. Because of me, the way I am.

RED: That don’t make you a murderer. Bad husband, maybe. Feel bad about it if you want. But you didn’t pull the trigger.
ANDY: No. I didn’t. Someone else did, and I wound up in here. Bad luck, I guess.
RED: Yeah.
ANDY: It floats around. Has to land on somebody. It was my turn, that’s all. I was in the path of the tornado. I just didn’t except that storm would last as long as that.

ANDY: Think you’ll ever get out of here?
RED: Me? Yeah. When I got a long white beard and about three marbles left rolling around upstairs.
ANDY: Tell you where I’d go. Zihuatanejo.
RED: Zihuatanejo?
ANDY: It’s in Mexico. Little place right on the Pacific Ocean. You know what the Mexicans say about the Pacific? They say it has no memory. That’s where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory. Open a little hotel, right on the beach. Buy some worthless old boat and fix it up new. Take my guests out charter fishing.
RED: Zihuatanejo.
ANDY: In place like that, I’d use a man who knows how to get things.
RED: I don’t think I could make it outside, Andy. I’ve been in here most of my life. I’m an institutional man now. Just like Brooks was.
ANDY: Well, You underestimate yourself.
RED: I don’t think so. . In here I’m the guy who can get things for you sure, but outside all you need are Yellow Pages. I wouldn’t know where to begin. Pacific Ocean? Shit. That’s scare me to death, somethin’ that big.
ANDY: Not me. I didn’t shoot my wife and I didn’t shoot her lover, and whatever mistakes I made I’ve paid for and then some. That hotel and that boat… I don’t think it’s too much to ask.
RED: I don’t think you ought to be doing this to yourself, Andy. This is just shitty pipedreams. I mean, Mexico is way the hell down there and you’re in here, and that’s the way it is.
ANDY:Yeah, right. That’s the way it is. It’s down there and I’m in here. I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really. Get busy livin’ or get busy dyin’.
