3. From Shawshank redemption (1995) film quotes (On 1966...)


"In 1966 Andy Dufresne escaped from Shawshank Prison.

4.  A Cappella group does the song What Friends Are For from The Jungle Book. (02:46) (text starts on 00:23)
We're your friends. We're your friends. We're your friends to the bitter end, The bitter end. When you're alone, When you're alone Who comes around, Who comes around To pluck you up, To pluck you up When you are down, When you are down? And when you're outside lookin' in, Who's there to open the door? That's what friends are for. Who's always eager to extend A friendly claw? That's what friends are for. And when you're lost In dire need, Who's at your side At lightning speed? We're friends with every creature coming down the pike In fact we've never met an animal we didn't like, Didn't like. So you can see We're friends, We're friends in need. And friends in need Are friends indeed. We'll keep you safe in the jungle Forevermore. That's what friends are for."
