—Red: Some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. (有些鸟是永远关不住的,因为它们的羽毛太耀眼了。当它们飞走的时候,你甚至会为此而狂喜。因为在你内心深处始终觉得把它们关起来就是一种罪恶。)
—Red: He had a quiet way about him. A walk and a talk that just wasn't normal around here. He strolled like a man in a park without a care or a worry in the world. Like he had on an invisible coat that would shield him from this place.
—Get busy living or get busy dying. (要么忙着生,要么忙着死)
—I had MR. Mozart to keep me company. It was in here. And in here. That's the beauty of music. They can't get that from you …… There are places in the world that aren't made out of stone. There's something inside, that they can't get to that they can't touch. It's yours.(在脑中,在心底。音乐之美,是夺不走的。在这世上,有些地方不是用石头建成的,有些东西它存在于人的内心深处,是任何人都找不到也拿不走的东西,是完全属于你自己的东西.)
—Andy: I tell you where I'd go. Zihuatanejo. It's in Mexico. A little place on the Pacific Ocean. You know what the Mexicans say about the Pacific?
—Red: No.
—Andy: They say it has no memory. That's where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory. Open up a little hotel, right on the beach. Buy some worthless old boat, and fix it up new. Take my guests out. Charter fishing.
—Andy: You remember the name of the town, don't you? I could use a good man to help me get my project on wheels. I'll keep an eye out for you and the chessboard ready. Remember, Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. and no good thing ever dies.(希望是个好东西, 也许是世上最美好的东西。而美好之物,永不消逝。)I will be hoping that this letter finds you, and finds you well.
Maybe blue means freedom.
