In Sling Blade (1996), Karl visits his father after a long time:
Karl: I studied on killing you. I studied about it quite a bit.
But I reckon there's no need for it if all you're gonna do…
is sit there in that chair. You'll be dead soon enough.
And the world'll be shut of you.
What does "world'll be shut of you" mean? Closest phrase I know is "Shut someone out".
This one here is different.
