Kapitel 70: Chapter 70 Celebration Banquet

"No matter how modest you are, Ed, 'The Shawshank Redemption' is an outstanding film, and both critics and box office numbers have proven that," Elaine said as she raised her glass. "This drink is for you."

"Thank you." Adrian lifted his glass to his lips and took a sip. "But this isn't just my own achievement. Without the brilliant performances from Tim, Morgan, and Bob, the film wouldn't have achieved such success. So, here's to them."

Saying so, he raised his glass to Robbins and Freeman, who were standing to his left, and they reciprocated with a toast. After a few more amicable exchanges of words, Adrian turned and walked away. After a few steps, Elaine caught up to him from behind.

"Hey, Ed, what are your plans coming up?" he asked with a beaming smile.
