131 INT -- GUARD STATION/OUTER OFFICE -- DAY (1955) 131

Andy wrestles the phonograph player onto the guards' desk,
sweeping things onto the floor in his haste. He plugs the
machine in. A red light warms up. The platter starts spinning.

He slides the Mozart album from its sleeve, lays it on the
platter, and lowers the tone arm to his favorite cut. The
needle HISSES in the groove...and the MUSIC begins, lilting
and gorgeous. Andy sinks into Wiley's chair, overcome by its
beauty. It is "Deutino: Che soave zeffiretto," a duet sung by

Susanna and the Contessa.

132 INT -- BATHROOM -- DAY (1955) 132

Wiley pauses reading, puzzled. He thinks he hears music.

WILEY
Andy? You hear that?

133 INT -- GUARD STATION/OUTER OFFICE -- DAY (1955) 133

Andy shoots a look at the bathroom...and smiles. Go for broke.
He lunges to his feet and barricades the front door, then the
bathroom. He returns to the desk and positions the P.A.
microphone. He works up his courage, then flicks all the
toggles to "on." A SQUEAL OF FEEDBACK echoes briefly...

134 INT/EXT -- VARIOUS P.A. SPEAKERS -- DAY (1955) 134

...and the Mozart is suddenly broadcast all over the prison.

135 INT -- BATHROOM -- DAY (1955) 135

Wiley lunges to his feet, pants tangling around his ankles.

136 INT/EXT -- SHAWSHANK PRISON -- VARIOUS LOCATIONS -- DAY (1955) 136

Cons all over the prison stop whatever they're doing, freezing
in mid-step to listen, gazing up at the speakers.

137 The stamping machines in the plate shop are shut down... 137

138 The laundry line goes silent, grinding to a halt... 138

139 The wood shop machines are turned off, buzzing to a stop... 139
