...I got a postcard in the mail.
2:04:05
It was blank,
but the postmark said...
2:04:08
...Fort Hancock, Texas.
2:04:11
Fort Hancock...
2:04:12
...right on the border.
2:04:14
That's where Andy crossed.
2:04:17
When I picture him heading south
in his own car with the top down...
2:04:21
...it always makes me laugh.
2:04:25
Andy Dufresne...
2:04:27
...who crawled through
a river of shit...
2:04:30
...and came out clean
on the other side.
2:04:33
Andy Dufresne...
2:04:35
...headed for the Pacific.
2:04:40
Hadley's got him
by the throat, right?
2:04:42
He says, "I believe this boy's
about to have himself an accident."
2:04:46
Those of us who knew him best
talk about him often.
2:04:49
I swear, the stuff he pulled....
2:04:51
"My friends could use
a couple of beers."
2:04:55
And he got it!
2:04:58
Sometimes it makes me sad, though...
2:05:00
...Andy being gone.
2:05:02
I have to remind myself that
some birds aren't meant to be caged.
2:05:07
Their feathers are just too bright.
2:05:11
And when they fly away...
2:05:13
...the part of you that knows it was
a sin to lock them up does rejoice.
2:05:18
But still...
2:05:20
...the place you live in is that much
more drab and empty that they're gone.
2:05:29
I guess I just miss my friend.
2:05:56
Please sit down.
