Ahhh, the plan came together marvellously. Who were you kidding? There's more, and thank goodness! Red's character transition has finally come to a close: he wants to leave Shawshank, and gets granted permission to do so.Whoopee! You didn't think anything could come close to Andy driving that car across the border, but this almost beats it. Red plucking up the courage to go and meet Andy, just like they planned, brings a tear to the eye: here is a man who broke free of the chains of prison, and walked out into the world because his friend inspired him to do so. You can sleep easy now, imagining Red and Andy drinking beers on a beach and painting up an old boat, free from Shawshank and safe in their new lives with each other.
