Lilith SaintcrowYou're my friend, Danny. You understand? There's no debt between friends." Maybe it's just that the debt gets so high you stop counting it.
About This Quote
When a friend has a debt to pay, he or she will pay it back. But, when a friend borrows money from a bank, a business, a relative, or the government, that’s not what happens. The money borrowed never gets paid back. If you have a debt to your friend, you can just pay him back as soon as you can afford it.
In this quote from the movie The Shawshank Redemption , Andy said to Red after Andy complained about how much money he owed him. Andy said that he would pay him back as soon as possible, but Red knew Andy’s word was not worth anything. He had gotten used to all of Andy’s nonsense and would never believe him if he said he would pay him a dollar a week until they both were rich and famous.
When you borrow money from someone else, you owe them that money and you must repay it at some point in the future.
