“The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it. It began with the forging of the Great Underpants. Three were given to the Elves: immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven to the Dwarf-lords: great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. And nine, nine were gifted to the race of Men, who above all else, desire power. For within these underpants was bound much of the strength and will to govern each race. But they were all of them deceived, for another underpants was made. In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret a Master Underpants to control all others. And into this Underpants he poured his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life. One Underpants to rule them all. One by one, the Free Lands of Middle-earth fell to the power of the Underpants.” “Three Underpants for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne, In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Underpants to rule them all, One Underpants to find them, One Underpants to bring them all and in the darkness bind them, In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.” From Shawshank: “I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don’t want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I’d like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can’t be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a gray place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made those walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt underpants.” ---
