【场景再现】
安迪杜弗伦（Andy Dufresne）沉冤狱中19年，这是他与道貌岸然的典狱长诺顿（Norton）的第一次正面交锋。诺顿平时总以卫道士的嘴脸自居，私下却干尽坏事。他风闻安迪入狱前是个银行家，借查房之名试探安迪，想让安迪帮他洗黑钱。这段对白中两次引用圣经原文，场景不同，各有指代。
Norton: Pleased to see you reading this. Any favorite passages?
Andy: "Watch ye, therefore, for ye know not when the master of the house cometh."
Norton: Mark 13:35. I've always liked that one. But I prefer "I am the light of the world. He that followeth me shall have the light of life."
Andy: John, chapter 8, verse 12.
Norton: I hear you're good with numbers. How nice. Man should have a skill…explain this.
Andy: It's called a rock blanket. It's for shaping and polishing rocks. A little hobby of mine.
Norton: It's pretty clean. Some contraband here, but nothing to get in a twist over. …I can't say I approve of this. But I suppose exceptions can be made. …Lock them up! …I almost forgot. I'd hate to deprive you of this. Salvation lies within.
Andy: Yes, sir.
