The Shawshank Redemption
(Morgan Freeman and Tim Robins). You can find the script below with some vocabulary which might be useful



"Ladies and gentlemen, you've heard all the EVIDENCE. I submit to you this was not a HOT-BLOODED crime of passion. Consider this! A revolver holds six bullets, not eight. That means he fired the gun empty...and then stopped to reload."
"By the power VESTED in me by the State of Maine, I HEREBY order you to serve two LIFE SENTENCES, BACK TO BACK, one for each of your victims. So be it."
'Send you here for life, and that's exactly what they take."
"I believe in two things, DISCIPLINE..."
"Help! Please God!"
"...and the Bible. Here, you'll receive both."
"Andy came to Shawshank Prison in 1947."
" Why'd you do it?"
"I didn't, since you ask."
"Hah! You're going to FIT RIGHT IN."
"I must admit I didn't think much of Andy first time I LAID EYES ON him. He had a quiet way about him, a walk and a talk that just wasn't normal around here."
"There are places in the world that aren't made out of stone. There's something inside that they can't touch."
"What are you talking about?"
"Hope."
"Let me tell you something my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing."
"Damn it Dufresne, you're putting me BEHIND!"
"Hope can drive a man insane."
"You better be sick or dead in there, I KID YOU NOT!"
"Better get used to that idea."
"Oh my Holy God!"
"I guess it COMES DOWN TO a simple choice - get busy living or get busy dying."
"Get busy living or get busy dying. That's damn right!"
