About this quote

In The Shawshank Redemption (1994), Ellis Boyd "Red" Redding delivers this line during a parole hearing. He speaks plainly while facing the board, answering a formal question with a short, weary response. The restrained delivery, Morgan Freeman's voice, and the courtroom-like setting make the moment stick in the viewer's mind.
