One of the more famous dialogue clips was a conversation between the protagonist, Andy Dufresne, and his old prison mate, Red, after he was sentenced to prison. The following is an extract of this conversation: Andy:(to Red) You've been in here for two years. Red:(Smiling) Two years? This was only the beginning. Andy:(silent for a moment) Yes, this is just the beginning. Red:(continues) I made a lot of new friends in prison. I have a new wife and a child. Andy:(surprised) You have a wife and kids? Red:(Smiling) Yeah. Andy:(sighing) I'm really grateful that in this day and age, prisons can't provide these things, but I have them now. Red:(said unhappily) You're just killing time here and waiting for redemption. Andy:(silent for a moment) Yes, I admit it, but I have a life too. I've made a change and I hope I have the chance to fulfill my dream. Red:(Pondering for a moment) Dreams? What is your dream? Andy:(speaking slowly) I hope one day I can tell my wife and children that I did everything for them. Red:(After a moment of silence) You did it. You've already done it.
