我是一個能提供準確財政計劃的謀殺犯。

It's a wonderful pet to have.

懂得了一條，一個事實，宇宙真理：

Not one born whose asshole… wouldn't pucker up tighter than a snare drum when you ask for funds.

-Red: “So Andy started writing a letter a week… just like he said. And like Norton said…”

“就這樣，Andy開始每周寫一封信，就像他說得那樣。但如Norton所說”

“… Andy got no answers. The following April, he did tax returns for half the guards at Shaw shank.”

“一直都無回覆。過了四月，Andy已幫半數(shù)獄警們報稅。”

“Year after that, he did them all… including the warden's. ”

“后來，全都找他幫忙了，連典獄長納稅務(wù)都由他處理。”

“Year after that, they rescheduled the intramural season…”
