(Banging at door) Dufresne?
Dufresne?
Andy, let me out.
Andy?
RED: I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about.
The truth is, I don't want to know.
Some things are best left unsaid.
I like to think they were singing about 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 grey 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.
It pissed the Warden off something awful.
Open the door.
Open it up!
Dufresne, open this door!
(Bangs door)
Turn that off!
(Bangs door)
(Aria continues)
I am warning you, Dufresne. Turn that off!
(Increases volume)
Dufresne...
You're mine now.
RED: Andy got two weeks in the hole for that little stunt.
(Hadley stops record) On your feet!
