My favorite line:

 

RED: I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone.

oh man— the great lines and quotes in Brian movie are endless! Here is another one of my favs:

 

Red:
Geology is the study of pressure and time. Thats all it takes really... pressure... and time... That, and a big $&#* poster.

Also, why not enter the sewage line as close as possible to the building's edge.  Did he have a desire to crawl through extra poop?


I always assumed he went for the weakest point in the pipe, like where it was most corroded.  He only had so many hits with the rock.

I stand corrected.  Did you catch any?

 

Red's a funny guy.......he was the captain that day. Gave me some amazing not-for-air stories about what the Warden would do sometimes to inmates who REALLY got him mad.

What I can't hear you... I'm enjoying some great opera...

 

 

 

OK - this was another really dumb move by Dufresne.  OK I get it.  He likes opera.  But why does he have to lock the door and blast it out over the prison yard?  Guaranteed trip to the hole.

He knew it would get shut down right away.  He was a smart enough man to calculate the risk and decided it was worth it.  He didn't only do it for himself; he did it for the entire prison population.

 

Because their's no "I" in Andy Dufresne.

But there is one in Zih....

 

And yeah, it was dumb to broadcast it over the PA system.  Might have been for a good reason, but still dumb.

I've never seen it once.

 

I may have seen it 50 times.....but never once start to finish. It’s on TV so much I catch some part and watch until something comes up. It’s certainly worth the watch. Love Canal area residents give it three thumbs up!

Man, you've gotta be kidding me w/ "fuzzy britches."

 

Been using "fussy" all these years.  I thought it was some throwback thing that old dudes said, like "sports fans."  But they really are fuzzy britches. It all seems so obvious now.
