Something wrong with the clip?

Quote

[Billy, Max and Jimmy are going over blueprints of the prison] Jimmy: There's two ways out, I figure. Over the roof, but that's only one person, maybe two. The other way is under. Billy Hayes: Tunnel? Jimmy: It's already built! There's a basement substructure where they used to keep weapons and stuff, but beneath that there's these old catacombs that the Christians built about a thousand fucking years ago to bury their dead. We're sitting right on top of it - here. The Kraut said there's a whole bunch of hollow sealed shafts sort of like dumbwaiters running along this wall. One of them is right in there, right next to our shower. We can get in there, he says, we can get down into the catacombs. With the three of us working... Max: [tapping at the wall] Gotta be here someplace. Thought I heard a couple of dead Christians singing down there. Jimmy: Stop shitting me, man! Billy Hayes: But how would you get into the shaft, Jimmy? Max: I suppose you knock three times and ask for St. Peter.

There are two ways out of here. One is over the roof, but that's kind of risky. Maybe one person. Two at the most. The other way, I'll need your help, and that is under. A tunnel? - Are you serious? - This is not Stalag 17. That's where you're wrong. The tunnel is already built. There's a basement where they used to keep weapons. Beneath that are the catacombs the Christians built to bury their dead. We're sitting right on top of it here. The kraut says that there's a bunch of hollow shafts. They're like dumbwaiters, all along these walls. One of them is right next to our shower. If we get in there, we can get down into the catacombs. With three of us working, it shouldn't take too long. Must be around here someplace. I swear I heard a couple of dead Christians singing down there. - You stop shitting me, man. Okay? - How do we get into the shaft? We knock three times and say we're a friend of the deceased. I'm getting this together and I don't need no gastro-head along. You understand me? - We go through the wall. - We go through the wall? Go through the wall. The kraut was right. I checked it out. There's no reinforced steel in those shower walls. It's real soft from underground seepage. The water like weeps through the cement. Twenty, thirty years. You can almost push it over. All we have to do... We only have to use your screwdriver to scrape the mortar out. We pull out three stones and squeeze through...
