A scene from The Shawshank Redemption 1994
Andy

My wife used to say I'm a hard man to know. Like a closed book. Complained about it all the time. She was beautiful. God, I loved her. I just didn't know how to show it, that's all. I killed her, Red. I didn't pull the trigger, but I drove her away and that's why she died - because of me, the way I am.

Red

That don't make you a murderer. Bad husband, maybe. Feel bad about it if you want to, but you didn't pull the trigger.

Andy

No, I didn't. Somebody else did and I wound up in here. Bad luck, I guess.
