(Red’s monologue) ①I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don’t want to know. ②Some things are best left unsaid. I like to think they were singingabout something so beautiful it can’t be expressed in words and makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a gray place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made those walls dissolve away. And for the briefest of moments every last man at Shawshank felt free. ③It pissed the 1)warden off something awful.
Norton: Open the door. Open it up! (whomp) Dufresne, open this door! (whomp) Turn that off! (whomp) I am warning you, Dufresne. Turn that off!
Hadley: Dufresne, (tap) you’re mine now.
(Red’s monologue) Andy got two weeks in the hole for that little 2)stunt.
(Two weeks later)
Hadley: On your feet.
Prisoner 1: Hey, look who’s here.
Prisoner 2: 3)Maestro!
Heywood: You couldn’t play something good, huh? Like
Hank Williams?
Andy: They broke the door down before I could take requests.
Prisoner 3: Was it worth it, two weeks in the hole?
Andy: Easiest time I ever did.
Prisoner 4: Oh, shit! No such thing as easy time in the hole.
Prisoner 3: A week in the hole is like a year.
Prisoner 1: ④Damn straight.
Andy: I had Mr. Mozart to keep me company.
Prisoner 2: So they let you tote that record player down there, huh?
Andy: It was in here. In here. That’s the beauty of music. They can’t get that from you. Haven’t you ever felt that way
about music?
Red: Well, I played a mean 4)harmonica as a younger man. Lost interest in it, though. ⑤Didn’t make much sense in here.
Andy: Here’s where it makes the most sense. You need it so you don’t forget.
Red: Forget?
Andy: Forget that there are places in the world that aren’t made out of stone. There’s…there’s something inside that they can’t get to that they can’t touch. That’s yours.
Red: What are you talking about?
Andy: Hope.
Red: Hope? ⑥Let 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. ⑦You’d better get used to that idea.
Andy: Like Brooks did?
（雷德的独白）直到今天我都没有搞懂那两个意大利女人在唱什么。其实，我也不想弄懂。此时无声胜有声。我喜欢这样想，她们唱得如此之美，难以言传，令你心痛。我这样跟你说吧，那歌声直窜云端，超越失意囚徒的梦想。它宛如美丽的小鸟飞入牢房，使石墙消失得无影无踪。就在这一瞬间，肖申克监狱里的每一个囚犯仿佛重获自由。这下可惹恼了典狱长。
诺顿：开门，开门！（撞门声）迪弗雷纳，开门！（撞门声）把音乐关掉！（撞门声）我警告你，迪弗雷纳。关掉音乐！
哈德利：迪弗雷纳，（敲门声）你现在落到我手里了。
（雷德的独白）安迪为此被关了两个星期的禁闭。
（两周以后）
哈德利：站起来。
囚犯甲：嗨，看谁来了。
囚犯乙：大指挥家！
海伍德：你没别的更好听的歌可放了吗？比如汉克·威廉斯的歌。
安迪：来不及接受点歌他们就破门而入了。
囚犯丙：为这关两周禁闭值得吗？
安迪：这是我过得最舒服的两周。
囚犯丁：屁话，关禁闭最难受了。
囚犯丙：在里面度日如年啊。
囚犯甲：没错。
安迪：有莫扎特陪我。
囚犯乙：他们准许你把唱片机带进去了啊？
安迪：在脑中，在心底。这就是音乐的美妙之处，他们是夺不走的，你们没体会过音乐的这种感受吗？
雷德：嗯，我年轻时吹过口琴，但现在没兴致了，在牢里那也没意义。
安迪：就是在这里才有意义，有音乐才不会忘记。
雷德：忘记什么？
安迪：世上有些地方是石墙关不住的。在人的内心，有他们……管不到的东西，是完全属于你的。
雷德：你指什么？
安迪：希望。
雷德：希望？朋友，让我来告诉你，希望是危险的东西，它能把人弄疯。在这里希望是没有用的，你最好习惯这样。
安迪：要像老布一样吗？
