When John did that...
...when he took my hand...
...a part of the power
...spilled into me.
He...what?
He infected you with life?
It's as good a word as any.
He infected us both,
didn't he, Mr. Jingles?
With life.
I'm 1 08 years old, Elaine.
I was 44 the year that John Coffey
walked the Green Mile.
You mustn't blame John.
He couldn't help what happened.
He was just a force of nature.
I've lived to see
some amazing things, Ellie.
Another century come to pass.
But I've had to see my friends and
loved ones die off through the years.
Hal and Melinda...
...Brutus Howell...
...my wife, my boy.
And you, Elaine.
You'll die too.
And my curse is knowing
that I'll be there to see it.
It's my atonement, you see.
It's my punishment...
...for letting John Coffey
ride the lightning.
Almighty, everlasting God...
...the source of all being and life.
You'll be gone like all the others.
i'll have to stay.
i'll die eventually.
Of that i'm sure.
i have no illusions of immortality.
But i will have wished for death...
...long before death finds me.
in truth, i wish for it already.
Mr. Jingles?
Where you been?
You hungry?
Let's see if we can find you
something to eat.
A few crumbs anyway.
I know you'd like that.
Look at you.
i lie in bed most nights
thinking about it.
And i wait.
i've loved...
...now long gone.
i think about my beautiful Jan...
...how i lost her so many years ago.
And i think about all of us walking
our own Green Mile...
...each in our own time.
But one thought
more than any other...
...keeps me awake most nights:
if he could make a mouse
live so long...
...how much longer do i have?
We each owe a death.
There are no exceptions.
But, oh, God...
...sometimes...
