Scratch your name on your wall yet?
ANDY (smiles)
Not yet. I suppose I should.
RED Andy? I guess we're gettin' to be friends, ain't we?
ANDY I suppose we are.
RED I ask a question? Why'd you do it?
ANDY I'm innocent, remember? Just like everybody else here.
Red takes this as a gentle rebuff, keeps playing.
ANDY What are you in for, Red?
RED Murder. Same as you.
ANDY Innocent?
RED The only guilty man in Shawshank.
62 INT -- ANDY'S CELL -- NIGHT (1949) 62
Andy lies in his bunk after lights out, polishing a fragment of quartz by the light of the moon. He
pauses, glancing at all the names scratched in the wall. He rises, makes sure the coast is clear,
and starts scratching his name into the cement with his rock-hammer, adding to the record.
63 RAY MILLAND 63
fills the screen in glorious (and scratchy) black & white, suffering a bad case of DT's...
64 INT -- PRISON AUDITORIUM -- NIGHT (1949) 64
...while a CONVICT AUDIENCE hoots and catcalls, talking back
to the screen. We find Red slouched in a folding chair, watching the movie. Andy enters, backlit by
the flickering glare of the projector, and takes a seat next to him.
RED
Here's the good part. Bugs come out of the walls to get his ass.
ANDY
I know. I've seen it three times this month already.
Ray Milland starts SCREAMING. The entire audience SCREAMS with him, high-pitched and
hysterical. Andy fidgets.
ANDY
Can we talk business?
RED
Sure. What do you want?
ANDY(奇*书*网.整*理*提*供)
Rita Hayworth. Can you get her?
RED
No problem. Take a few weeks.
23
ANDY
Weeks?
RED
Don't have her stuffed down my pants this very moment, sorry to
say. Relax. What are you so nervous about? She's just a woman.
Andy nods, embarrassed. He gets up and hurries out. Red grins, turns back to the movie.
65 INT -- AUDITORIUM CORRIDOR -- NIGHT (1949) 65
Andy exits the theater and freezes in his tracks. Two dark figures loom in the corridor, blocking his
path. Rooster and Pete. Andy turns back -- and runs right into Bogs. Instant bear hug. The Sisters
are on him like a flash. They kick a door open and drag him into --
66 THE PROJECTION BOOTH 66
-- where they confront the startled PROJECTIONIST, an old con
blinking at them through thick bifocals.
BOGS
Take a walk.
PROJECTIONIST
I have to change reels.
BOGS
I said fuck off.
Terrified, the old man darts past and out the door. Pete slams and locks it. Bogs shoves Andy to
the center of the room.
ANDY
I know. I've seen it three times this month already.
Ray Milland starts SCREAMING. The entire audience SCREAMS witt him, high-pitched and
hysterical. Andy fidgets.
ANDY Can we talk business?
RED Sure. What do you want?
ANDY Rita Hayworth. Can you get her?
RED No problem. Take a few weeks.
ANDY Weeks?
RED

Ain't you gonna scream?
