:07:01
Paul, what is it?
:07:05
My God.
:07:11
I've got to get out of here.
:07:35
I guess sometimes the past
just catches up with you. . .
:07:38
. . .whether you want it to or not.
It's silly.
:07:41
Was it the film? It was, wasn't it?
:07:46
I haven't spoken of these things
for a long time, Ellie.
:07:50
Over 60 years.
:07:52
Paul, I'm your friend.
:07:59
I ever tell you that I was
a prison guard during the Depression?
:08:03
You've mentioned it.
:08:05
Did I mention I was
in charge of death row?
:08:08
That I supervised all the executions?
:08:14
Usually, death row is called
"The Last Mile. "
:08:19
We called ours "The Green Mile. "
:08:22
The floor was the color
of faded limes.
:08:26
We had the electric chair.
:08:29
"Old Sparky," we called it.
:08:33
I've lived a lot of years, Ellie. . .
:08:36
. . .but 1 935, that takes the prize.
:08:41
That year, I had. . .
:08:43
. . .the worst urinary infection
of my life.
:08:48
It was. . . .
:08:50
It was also the year of. . .
:08:53
. . .John Coffey. . .
:08:56
. . .and the two dead girls.
