** And when Percy tries to get his own back by reminding them that he has connections in high places, they shut him down by pointing out that they have connections in high places ''too'', something Percy in all his ego never stopped to consider. It's made even more awesome in the book, as Paul points out that the connections in question aren't governors or senators or congressmen; they're the relatives of the inmates, many of whom would happily agree to beat Percy to a pulp in exchange for their loved one getting preferential treatment from the guards.

John Coffey healing examples


* As evil as Billy was, watching him threaten to rape Percy, reducing him to a sobbing mess and causing him to piss his pants, can be oddly satisfying to see depending on your viewpoint. And then Percy kills him.

* Every single time that John Coffey uses his healing powers. His curing of Paul's bladder infection is so undeniably impressive, that when Mr. Jingles is killed by Percy, both Paul and Del have absolutely NO HESITATION in handing the mouse over to John. The reactions of everyone present are awesome too:
-->'''Brutal:''' Oh my God. The tail, look at the tail.

* The entire plan to cure Melinda Moores, involving sneaking Coffey off the block, getting him to the Warden's house, placating a shotgun-toting Warden, then almost literally moving the earth to save her, and then getting Coffey back on the block without anyone important noticing he was gone. And it was done without a hitch. Well...maybe just one...
