Beer-"And that's how it came to pass that on the second to last day of the job,the convict crew that tarred the plate factory roof in the spring of '49 wound up sitting in a row at 10 o'clock in the morning drinking icy cold bohemia style beer,courtesy of the hardest screw that ever walked the turn at Shawshank state prison..The colossal prick even managed to sound magnanimous

Busy living-"Get busy living or get busy dying"

Escape-"In 1966 Andy Dufresne escaped from Shawshank prison..all they found of him was a muddy set of prison clothes,a bar of soap and an old rock hammer...damned near worned down to the nub..I remember thinking it would take a man 600years to tunnel thru the wall with it..ole Andy did it in less than 20.."

Life-"Send you here for life ..that's exactly what they take"

Normal-"You could argue he only did it to curry favour with the guards or maybe make a few friends among us cons..me I think he did it just to feel normal again ..if only for a short while"
