Hello, teachers.
Please help me with a line in the screenplay of Shawshank Redemption. I think I know what it would mean in the context, but I want to know how the metaphor works. Please check the underlined below. Thank you.
Andy: Ask the warden for funds.
Brooks: Oh, son, son, son. Six wardens have been through here in my tenure, and I've learned one immutable universal truth; not one of 'em born... whose asshole wouldn't pucker up tighter than a snare drum when you ask for funds.
