Ed: Rollo Tomasi.
Jack: Is there more to that or am I supposed to guess?
Ed: Rollo is a purse snatcher... My father ran into him off duty... and he shot my father six times and got away clean... No one even knew who he was. I just made the name up to give him some personality.
Jack: What's your point?
Ed: Rollo Tomasi is the reason I became a cop. I wanted to catch the guys who thought they could get away with it. It was supposed to be about justice. Then, somewhere along the way, I lost sight of it.

Secretary: May I help you?
Red: He had all the proper ID: driver's license, birth certificate, Social Security card. And the signature was a spot-on match.
Banker: I must say I'm sorry to be losing your business. I hope you'll enjoy living abroad.
Andy Dufresne: Thank you. I'm sure I will.
