In this scene, Red is having an interview with the parole board. The parole board are going to decide if Red can get out of prison, or if he should stay inside longer. Red has already been in prison for 40 years!

- a made-up word = a word with no real meaning
- young feller = young man
- There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret = I feel regret every day
- look back on s/th = remember something
- talk some sense into someone = give someone some good advice
- the way things are = the way the world works
- long gone = gone for a long time already
- I don't give a shit = I don't care (slang, very informal and not very polite)
