Quote #4
NORTON: I'd hate to deprive you of this. Salvation lies within.
Oh, if only Norton had any idea.
He is referring, of course, to the fact that he believes one's sins can be purged by quoting a few passages of scripture, and that will get you off the hook for all the nasty deeds you've committed. What he doesn't know is that Andy's Bible is where he hides his rock hammer.
Well, it's not like they supply inmates with DeWalt tool chests. A guy's got to improvise.
Quote #5
ANDY: He's got scams you haven't dreamed of. Kickbacks on his kickbacks. There's a river of dirty money flowing through this place.
Here Andy tells Red all about Norton's various schemes, and it blows Red away. He knew the warden was a jerk-and-a-half, but until then he had no clue about the extent of the man's depravity. It makes the warden's Bible-thumping even more infuriating. Let him who is without sin cast the first stone, or is it people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones? Anyway, the warden's exposed as the most self-serving and hypocritical of sinners, with absolutely no remorse.
