I'm gonna look after him until he's big enough to fly." Heywood gleefully gloats about winning the bet and collects cigarettes as payment from everyone: "I want 'em all lined up just like a pretty little chorus line." But his victory is won with a deadly toll and price for Fat-Ass - "Dead. Hadley busted his head up pretty good. Doc had already gone home for the night. Poor bastard laid there till this morning. By then, hell, there was nothing we could do." In the communal shower room, Bogs - one of the prison's Sisters, asks Andy a leading question: .

             Hey, anybody come at you yet? Anybody get to you yet? Hey, we all need friends in here. I could be a friend to you. (Andy breaks away without responding) Hey, hard to get. I like that. .

             Andy's assigned job is to work in the prison laundry room, where he "kept pretty much to himself at first. I guess he had a lot on his mind, trying to adapt to life on the inside. It wasn't until a month went by that he finally opened his mouth to say more than two words to somebody." While Red plays catch in the prison yard, Andy ("the wife-killing banker") ambles over to break the month-long silence: .

             Red: Why'd you do it?.

             Andy: I didn't, since you ask.

             Red: (chuckling) You're gonna fit right in. Everybody in (here) is innocent. Didn't you know that?.Rumor has it you're a real cold fish. You think your s--t smells sweeter than most. Is that right?.

             Andy: What do you think?.

             Red: I'll tell ya the truth. I haven't made up my mind. .

             Having learned that Red "knows how to get things," Andy officially meets Red when he makes a simple request for a rock-hammer - to resume his geologic "rock-hound" hobby from his "old life," although Red questions whether the tool will be used instead for self-protection against Bogs or for tunneling out of the prison: .

             Red: I'm known to locate certain things from time to time. .

             Andy: I wonder if you might get me a rock-hammer.

             Red: .What is it and why?.
