:33:03
I need a dozen volunteers
for a week's work.
:33:06
As you know...
:33:09
...special detail carries with it
special privileges.
:33:12
It was outdoor detail...
:33:15
...and May is one damned fine month
to be working outdoors.
:33:20
Stay in line there.
:33:21
More than a hundred men
volunteered for the job.
:33:29
Wallace E. Unger.
:33:32
Ellis Redding.
:33:35
Wouldn't you know it?
:33:37
Me and some fellows I know
were among the names called.
:33:40
Andrew Dufresne.
:33:43
It only cost us
a pack of smokes per man.
:33:46
I made my usual 20 percent, of course.
:33:49
So this big-shot lawyer
calls me long-distance from Texas.
:33:52
I say, "Yeah?"
:33:54
He says, "Sorry to inform you,
but your brother just died."
:33:58
- I'm sorry to hear that.
- I'm not. He was an asshole.
:34:02
Ran off years ago.
Figured him for dead.
:34:05
So this lawyer fellow says to me:
:34:07
"He died a rich man." Oil wells
and shit. Close to a million bucks.
:34:12
A million bucks?
:34:14
- Incredible how lucky some assholes get.
- You going to see any of that?
:34:19
Thirty-five thousand.
That's what he left me.
:34:22
Dollars?
:34:24
That's great! That's like
winning the sweepstakes.
:34:27
Isn't it?
:34:29
Dumb shit, what do you think
the government will do to me?
:34:32
Take a big wet bite
out of my ass is what.
:34:35
Poor Byron.
:34:37
Terrible fucking luck, huh?
Crying shame.
:34:41
Some people really got it awful.
:34:43
Andy, are you nuts?
:34:45
Keep your eyes on your mop, man!
:34:47
You'll pay some tax,
but you'll still end up--
:34:50
Yeah, maybe enough to buy
a new car, and then what?
:34:53
I got to pay tax on the car. Repair...
:34:55
...maintenance, kids pestering you
to take them for a ride all the time.
:34:59
Then if you figure your tax wrong,
you pay out of your own pocket.
