"Hi." "I've got an appointment with Mr. Ullman." "My name is Jack Torrance." "His office is the first door on the left." "Thank you." "[KNOCKS]" "Mr." "Ullman?" "Yes." "I'm Jack Torrance." "Oh, come on in, Jack." "Very nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you." "This is my secretary, Susie." "Hello." "Susie, how do you do?" "Any trouble finding us?" "No problem at all." "I made the trip in 3 1/2 hours." "That's very good time." "Sit down a minute, Jack." "Just make yourself at home." "Like some coffee?" "If you're having some, I wouldn't mind." "Thanks." "Susie." "Sure." "And ask Bill Watson to join us." "Yes, I will." "[MUSIC PLAYS ON HIGH]" "Mom?" "Yeah?" "Do you really want to go and live in that hotel for the winter?" "Sure I do." "It'll be lots of fun." "Yeah." "I guess so." "Anyway, there's hardly anybody to play with around here." "I know." "It always takes a little time to make new friends." "Yeah, I guess so." "What about Tony?" "He's looking forward to the hotel, I bet." "[IN TONY'S VOICE] No, I ain't, Mrs. Torrance." "Now, come on, Tony." "Don't be silly." "I don't want to go there." "How come you don't want to go?" "I just don't." "Let's just wait and see." "We're all going to have a real good time." "Bill, I'd like you to meet Jack Torrance." "How do you do, Bill?" "Nice to meet you." "Pleasure to meet you." "Grab a chair, Bill." "Join in." "Jack is going to take care of the Overlook for us this winter." "I'd like you to take him around soon as we're through." "Fine." "Jack is a schoolteacher." "Uh, formerly a schoolteacher." "BILL:" "What line of work are you in now?" "I'm a writer." "Teaching's been more or less a way of making ends meet." "This ought to be quite a change for you." "Well, I'm looking for a change." "Our people in Denver recommended Jack very highly, and for once I agree with them." "Let's see, where were we?" "I was about to explain that our season here runs from May 15th to October 30th." "Then we close down completely until the following May." "Do you mind if I ask why you do that?" "It seems to me that the skiing up here would be fantastic." "It would be." "The problem is the enormous cost it would be to keep the road to Sidewinder open." "It's a 25-mile stretch of road." "It gets 20 feet of snow during the winter." "There's just no way to make it economically feasible to keep it clear." "When the place was built in 1907 there was very little interest in winter sports." "This site was chosen for its seclusion and scenic beauty." "It's certainly got plenty of that." "That's right." "Did they give you any idea in Denver about what the job entails?" "Only in a very general way." "Well the winters can be fantastically cruel." "The basic idea is to cope with the very costly damage and depreciation which can occur." "This consists mainly of running the boiler heating different parts of the hotel on a daily rotating basis repairing damage as it occurs and doing repairs so the elements can't get a foothold." "That sounds fine to me." "Physically, it's not a very demanding job." "The only thing that can get a bit trying here during the winter is a tremendous sense of isolation." "That just happens to be exactly what I'm looking for." "I'm outlining a new writing project." "Five months of peace is just what I want." "That's very good, Jack." "Because, for some people solitude and isolation can, of itself, become a problem." "Not for me." "How about your wife and son?" "Do you think they'll take to it?" "They'll love it." "Great." "Well, before I turn you over to Bill there's one other thing I think we should talk about." "Not to sound melodramatic but it's been known to give a few people second thoughts about the job." "I'm intrigued." "I don't suppose they said anything in Denver about the tragedy we had up here during the winter of 1970." "I don't believe they did." "ULLMAN:" "Well...." "My predecessor in this job hired a man named Charles Grady as the winter caretaker." "He came up with his wife and two little girls of about 8 and 10." "He had a good employment record, good references." "And from what I've been told, he seemed like a completely normal individual." "But at some point during the winter he must have suffered some kind of a complete mental breakdown." "He ran amuck and killed his family with an ax." "Stacked them neatly in a room in the west wing, and then he put both barrels of his shotgun in his mouth." "The police thought that it was what the old-timers used to call cabin fever." "A kind of claustrophobic reaction which can occur when people are shut in together over long periods of time." "Wow." "That is quite a story." "Yeah, it is." "It's still hard for me to believe it actually happened here." "But it did." "And, uh I think you can appreciate why I wanted to tell you about it." "I certainly can." "I also understand why your people in Denver left it for you to tell me." "Obviously, some people can be put off from staying in a place where something like that happened." "You can rest assured that's not going to happen with me." "And as far as my wife is concerned I'm sure she'll be absolutely fascinated when I tell her." "She's a confirmed ghost story and horror film addict." "Tony, do you think Dad'll get the job?" "He already did." "He's going to phone Wendy up in a few minutes to tell her." "[PHONE RINGING]" "Hello." "Hi, babe." "Hi, hon." "How's it going?" "Great." "I'm at the hotel and I still have a lot to go through." "I don't think I can get home before 9:00 or 10:00." "Sounds like you got the job." "Right." "It's a beautiful place." "You and Danny are going to love it." "Tony, why don't you want to go to the hotel?" "I don't know." "You do too know." "Now come on, tell me." "I don't want to." "Please." "No." "Now, Tony, tell me." "DOCTOR:" "Now, hold your eyes still so I can see." "That's good." "Now the other one." "Good boy." "Now, Danny when you were brushing your teeth do you remember if you smelled anything funny or saw any bright, flashing lights or anything at all strange?" "No." "DOCTOR:" "Do you remember when you were brushing your teeth?" "Yes." "What's the next thing you remember after you were brushing your teeth?" "My mom was saying, "Wake up." "Wake up, Danny, wake up."" "Now, Danny, can you remember what you were doing just before you started brushing your teeth?" "Talking to Tony." "Is Tony one of your animals?" "No." "He's a little boy that lives in my mouth." "Tony's his imaginary friend." "DOCTOR:" "Oh." "If you were to open your mouth now, could I see Tony?" "No." "Why not?" "Because he hides." "Where does he go?" "To my stomach." "Does Tony ever tell you to do things?" "I don't want to talk about Tony anymore." "Okay." "That's fine." "All right, Danny." "I'm going to ask you to do me a favor and stay quietly in bed for the rest of the day." "Okay?" "Do I have to?" "Yes." "I'd like you to." "We're going in the other room for a few minutes and talk." "I'll come back and check on you." "Okay." "Bye." "Shall we go into the living room?" "Yes." "Please." "Thank you." "Mrs. Torrance, I don't think you have anything to worry about." "I'm quite sure there's nothing physically wrong with Danny." "Yeah?" "Oh." "He seems absolutely fine now." "But you should've seen him." "I know." "Kids can scare you to death." "But believe me, these episodes are not at all uncommon." "And they look much worse than they are." "But what was the matter with him?" "Most of the time, these episodes with kids are never explained." "They're brought on by emotional factors and rarely occur again." "They're more akin to autohypnosis a kind of self-induced trance." "If it reoccurs, which I doubt we can always think about having some tests done." "No, thank you." "I'm sure you're right." "Have you been in Boulder long?" "Only about three months." "We're from Vermont." "My husband was teaching school there." "Did the appearance of Danny's imaginary friend...." "Tony." "Did Tony's first appearance happen to coincide with your arrival here?" "No, um...." "Let's see...." "I guess Danny started talking to Tony about the time we put him in nursery school." "Did he adjust well to school?" "No." "He didn't like it too much at first." "Then he had an injury, so we kept him out for a while and...." "Yeah, I guess that's about when I first noticed he was talking to Tony." "What sort of injury did he have?" "He dislocated his shoulder." "How did he manage to do that?" "It was just one of those things, you know." "Purely an accident." "My husband had been drinking and he came home about three hours late." "So he wasn't exactly in the greatest mood that night." "And Danny had scattered some of his school papers all over the room and my husband grabbed his arm to pull him away from them." "It's just the sort of thing you do 100 times with a child you know, in a park or in the street." "But on this particular occasion my husband just used too much strength and he injured Danny's arm." "Anyway, something good did come out of it all because he said:" ""Wendy, I'm never going to touch another drop." "And if I do, you can leave me."" "And he didn't." "He hasn't had any alcohol in 5 months." "Boy." "We must really be high up." "The air feels so different." "Mm-hm." "Dad?" "Yes?" "I'm hungry." "You should've eaten your breakfast." "We'll get you something as soon as we get to the hotel." "Okay, Mom." "Wasn't it around here that the Donner party got snowbound?" "I think that was farther west, in the Sierras." "Oh." "What was the Donner party?" "They were a party of settlers in covered wagon times." "They got snowbound one winter in the mountains." "They had to resort to cannibalism in order to stay alive." "You mean they ate each other up?" "They had to in order to survive." "Jack." "Don't worry, Mom." "I know all about cannibalism." "I saw it on TV." "See, it's okay." "He saw it on the television." "What time does the plane leave?" "8:30." "That gives us plenty of time to go over everything." "Goodbye, Mr. Ullman." "Bye." "Good morning." "I hope you haven't been waiting too long." "No problem." "We had time to grab a bite to eat." "Good." "Glad you made it before they shut down the kitchen." "Hi." "Is your family having a look around?" "No, my son's discovered the games room." "Has your luggage been brought in?" "Right there." "Oh, fine." "In view of all we have to cover today I suggest we have a quick look at your apartment and get started." "Have the Torrances' things brought to their apartment." "Fine." "I'd better collect my family first." "Oh, yes." "This is our Colorado Lounge." "It's beautiful." "My God!" "This place is fantastic, Isn it, hon?" "It sure is." "I've never seen anything like this before." "Are all these Indian designs authentic?" "I believe they're based mainly on Navajo and Apache motifs." "They're really gorgeous." "As a matter of fact this is probably the most gorgeous hotel I've ever seen." "This old place has had an illustrious past." "In its heyday, it was a stopping place for the jet setters even before anybody knew what a jet set was." "We had four presidents who stayed here." "Lots of movie stars." "Royalty?" "All the best people." "This is the staff wing of the hotel." "None of the other bedrooms are heated during the winter." "Goodbye, Mr. Ullman." "Goodbye, girls." "ULLMAN:" "And here are your quarters." "Living room, bedroom, bathroom." "And a small bedroom for your son." "Perfect for a child." "Yeah." "Yes." "ULLMAN:" "Well, then." "Place is very nicely self-contained." "Easy to keep." "Cozy." "ULLMAN:" "Yes, very cozy for a family." "If you feel like spreading out you have the rest of the hotel to move around in." "Well, it's very homey." "Yeah." "This is our famous hedge maze." "It's quite an attraction here." "The walls are 13 feet high and the hedge is as old as the hotel itself." "A lot of fun, but I wouldn't want to go in there unless I had an hour to spare to find my way out." "WENDY:" "When was the Overlook built?" "Construction started in 1907." "It was finished in 1909." "The site's supposed to be on an Indian burial ground." "They actually had to repel a few Indian attacks as they were building it." "That's our Snowcat." "Can you both drive a car?" "BOTH:" "Yes." "ULLMAN:" "That's fine." "Basically the Snowcat operates very much like a car." "It won't take you long to get the hang of it." "As a matter of fact, we brought a decorator in from Chicago just last year to refurbish this part of the hotel." "Oh." "He sure did a beautiful job." "Pink and gold are my favorite colors." "Well, this is our Gold Ballroom." "Oh, I'll say!" "We can accommodate up to 300 people here very comfortably." "Boy, we could really have a good party in this room." "I'm afraid you won't do too well here unless you brought supplies." "We remove the booze from the premises when we shut down." "That reduces the insurance we normally have to carry." "We don't drink." "Then you're in luck." "Dick, come on over and say hello to Mr. and Mrs. Torrance." "This is Dick Hallorann, our head chef." "Mr. Hallorann, I'm Jack." "This is my wife, Winifred." "Glad to meet you." "The Torrances will take care of the Overlook this winter." "That's just great." "How do you folks like our hotel so far?" "It's just wonderful." "Hi, Danny!" "I found him outside looking for you." "Dan, did you get tired of bombing the universe?" "Yeah." "Come on over here." "Thanks." "Thank you, Susie." "I think it'd be good if you could show Mrs. Torrance the kitchen while I continue on with Jack." "It would be a pleasure." "Right this way." "Great." "See you later, hon." "Bye, darling." "Mrs. Torrance, your husband introduced you as Winifred." "Now, are you a "Winnie," or a "Freddie"?" "I'm a Wendy." "Oh, Wendy." "That's nice." "That's the prettiest." "This is the kitchen, huh?" "This is it." "How do you like it, Danny?" "Is it big enough for you?" "Yeah." "It's the biggest place I ever seen." "This whole place is such an enormous maze." "I'll have to leave a trail of breadcrumbs every time I come in." "Don't let it get you down." "It's big, but it ain't nothing but a kitchen." "A lot of this stuff you'll never have to touch." "I wouldn't know what to do with it if I did." "One thing for sure, you don't have to worry about food." "You folks could eat here for a year and never have the same menu twice." "Right here is our walk-in freezer." "This is where we keep all of our meat." "You got 15 rib roasts 30 ten-pound bags of hamburger." "We got 12 turkeys, about 40 chickens 50 sirloin steaks, two dozen of pork roast and 20 legs of lamb." "Do you like lamb, Doc?" "No." "You don't?" "What's your favorite food, then?" "French fries and ketchup." "I think we can manage that too, Doc." "Come along, now." "Watch your step." "Mr. Hallorann how'd you know we call him Doc?" "Beg your pardon?" "Doc." "You called Danny "Doc" twice." "I did?" "Yeah." "We call him Doc sometimes, like in the Bugs Bunny cartoons." "But how did you know?" "I guess I probably heard you call him that." "It's possible." "But I honestly don't remember calling him that since we've been with you." "Anyway, he looks like a Doc, doesn't he?" "[IMITATES BUGS BUNNY] Eh, what's up, Doc?" "Now, this is the storeroom." "In here is where we keep all the dried goods and the canned goods." "We got canned fruits and vegetables canned fish and meats, hot and cold cereals." "Post Toasties, Corn Flakes, Sugar Puffs Rice Krispies, oatmeal, Wheatena and Cream of Wheat." "You got a dozen jugs of black molasses." "We got 60 boxes of dried milk...." "[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]" "DICK'S VOICE:" "How'd you like some ice cream, Doc?" "DICK:" "Sociables, finger rolls and 7 kinds of what have you." "Now, we've got dried peaches, dried apricots dried raisins and dried prunes." "You know, you got to keep regular if you want to be happy." "Hi." "WENDY:" "Hi." "How're you getting on?" "Fine." "Can we borrow Mrs. Torrance?" "We're on our way to the basement." "I promise we won't keep her very long." "No problem, Mr. Ullman." "I was just getting to the ice cream." "You like ice cream, Doc?" "Yeah." "I thought you did." "You folks mind if I give Danny some ice cream while we wait?" "Not at all." "We don't mind." "Good." "Sound good to you, Doc?" "DANNY:" "Yeah." "Okay, you behave yourself." "What kind of ice cream do you like?" "Chocolate." "Chocolate it shall be." "Come on, son." "It's amazing, all this activity today." "The guests and some staff left yesterday, but the last day's always hectic." "Everybody wants to be on their way as early as possible." "By 5:00 tonight, you'll never know anybody was ever here." "WENDY:" "Just like a ghost ship, huh?" "Yes." "Do you know how I knew your name was Doc?" "You know what I'm talking about, don't you?" "I can remember when I was a little boy my grandmother and I could hold conversations entirely without ever opening our mouths." "She called it "shining."" "And for a long time I thought it was just the two of us that had "the shine" to us." "Just like you probably thought you was the only one." "But there are other folks though mostly they don't know it, or don't believe it." "How long have you been able to do it?" "Why don't you want to talk about it?" "I'm not supposed to." "Who says you ain't supposed to?" "Tony." "Who's Tony?" "Tony's the little boy that lives in my mouth." "Is Tony the one that tells you things?" "Yes." "How does he tell you things?" "It's like I go to sleep, and he shows me things." "But when I wake up, I can't remember everything." "Does your mom and dad know about Tony?" "Yes." "Do they know he tells you things?" "Tony told me never to tell them." "Has Tony ever told you anything about this place?" "About the Overlook Hotel?" "I don't know." "Now think real hard, Doc." "Think." "Maybe he showed me something." "Try to think of what it was." "Mr. Hallorann, are you scared of this place?" "No." "Scared of nothing here." "It's just that you know, some places are like people." "Some shine and some don't." "I guess you could say the Overlook Hotel has something about it that's like shining." "Is there something bad here?" "Well you know, Doc, when something happens it can leave a trace of itself behind." "Say, like if someone burns toast." "Well...." "Maybe things that happen leave other kind of traces behind." "Not things that anyone can notice." "But things that people who shine can see." "Just like they can see things that haven't happened yet well sometimes they can see things that happened a long time ago." "I think a lot of things happened right here in this particular hotel over the years." "And not all of them was good." "What about room 237?" "Room 237?" "You're scared of room 237, ain't you?" "No, I ain't." "Mr. Hallorann, what is in room 237?" "Nothing." "There ain't nothing in room 237." "But you ain't got no business going in there anyway." "So stay out." "You understand?" "Stay out!" "[WOLF HOWLS]" "[KNOCKING]" "Good morning, hon." "Your breakfast is ready." "What time is it?" "It's about 11:30." "Eleven-thirty, Jesus." "I guess we've been staying up too late." "I know it." "I made them just the way you like them, sunny-side up." "Nice." "It's really pretty outside." "How about taking me for a walk after you finish your breakfast?" "I suppose I ought to try to do some writing first." "Any ideas yet?" "Lots of ideas." "No good ones." "Something will come." "It's just a matter of settling into the habit of writing every day." "Yep." "That's all it is." "It's really nice up here, Isn it?" "I love it." "I really do." "I've never been this happy or comfortable anywhere." "It's amazing how fast you get used to such a big place." "I tell you, when we first came up here I thought it was kind of scary." "I fell in love with it right away." "When I came up here for my interview it was as though I'd been here before." "I mean, we all have moments of deja vu but this was ridiculous." "It was almost as though I knew what was going to be around every corner." "Ooh-woo-ooh." "[THUDDING]" "The loser has to keep America clean." "How's that?" "All right." "And you're going to lose." "And I'm going to get you." "You'd better run fast!" "[WENDY HUMS]" "Look out!" "I'm coming in close." "DANNY:" "Loser has to keep America clean." "WENDY:" "Oh, no!" "DANNY:" "Keep America clean." "Okay." "Danny, you win." "Let's take the rest of this walking." "Okay." "Whew." "Give me your hand." "Isn it beautiful?" "Yeah." "DANNY:" "Dead end." "WENDY:" "Woo, we made it." "Isn it beautiful?" "DANNY:" "Yeah." "It's so pretty." "Yeah." "I didn't think it was going to be this big." "Did you?" "Nope." "WOMAN [ON HIGH]:" "Rutherford was serving a life sentence for a 1968 shooting." "And the search continues for that missing Aspen woman." "Twenty-four-year-old Susan Robertson has been missing 10 days." "She disappeared on a hunting trip with her husband." "They may have to call off the search if a predicted snowstorm moves in tomorrow." "It's so beautiful in Denver today it's hard to believe a snowstorm could be close." "I want to go outside and lie in the sun yet to our north, to our west, it is snowing and cold." "And it's moving right here towards Colorado as we talk." "It's incredible." "[TYPEWRITER KEYS CLACKING]" "Hi, hon." "How's it going?" "Fine." "Get a lot written today?" "Yes." "Hey, the weather forecast said it's going to snow tonight." "What do you want me to do about it?" "Come on, hon." "Don't be so grouchy." "I'm not being grouchy." "I just want to finish my work." "Okay." "I understand." "I'll come back later with a couple of sandwiches." "Maybe you'll let me read something then." "Wendy let me explain something to you." "When you come in and interrupt, you're breaking my concentration." "You're distracting me and it will then take me time to get back to where I was." "Understand?" "Yeah." "Fine." "We're going to make a new rule:" "Whenever I'm in here and you hear me typing..." "[PUNCHES KEYS] ...or whatever the fuck you hear me doing in here when I'm in here, that means I am working." "That means don't come in." "Now, do you think you can handle that?" "Yeah." "Fine." "Why don't you start right now and get the fuck out of here?" "Okay." "[DANNY LAUGHING]" "WENDY:" "All right, you!" "I know you've got more." "DANNY:" "Missed!" "DANNY:" "Don't have!" "No fair anymore." "[TYPEWRITER KEYS CLACKING]" "Oh, no." "I knew it." "This is KDK 12 calling KDK 1." "KDK 12 to KDK 1." "This is KDK 1." "We're receiving you." "Over." "Hi, this is Wendy Torrance at the Overlook Hotel." "Hi, how are you folks getting on up there?" "Over." "We're just fine." "But our telephones aren't doing too well." "Are the lines down, by any chance?" "Over." "Yes, quite a few of them are down due to the storm." "Over." "Any chance of them being repaired soon?" "Over." "Well, I wouldn't like to say." "Most winters they stay that way until spring." "Over." "Boy, this storm is really something, Isn it?" "Over." "Yes." "It's one of the worst we've had for years." "Is there anything else we can do for you, Mrs. Torrance?" "I suppose not." "Over." "If you folks have any problems up there, just give us a call." "And, Mrs. Torrance?" "It might be a good idea if you leave your radio on all the time." "Okay." "We'll do that." "It was real nice talking to you." "Bye." "Over and out." "GIRLS:" "Hello, Danny." "Come and play with us." "Come and play with us, Danny." "Forever and ever and ever." "Tony I'm scared." "Remember what Mr. Hallorann said." "It's just like pictures in a book, Danny." "It Isn real." "Please let me give you some money." "I wouldn't think of it." "Well, how can I repay you?" "It's okay." "Really." "Well, I'm going to have some coffee." "Would you like some?" "Sure." "Great." "Sit down." "Ooh, marvelous doughnuts." "Help yourself." "Coffee will be ready-- DANNY:" "Mom." "WENDY:" "Yeah." "DANNY:" "Can I go up to my room and get my fire engine?" "WENDY:" "Not right now." "Daddy's asleep." "DANNY:" "I won't make any noise." "WENDY:" "Now come on, Doc." "He only went to bed a few hours ago." "Can't you wait till later?" "DANNY:" "I won't make a sound." "I promise I'll tiptoe." "WENDY:" "Well, all right." "But really don't make a sound." "DANNY:" "I won't, Mom." "Make sure you come right back because I'm going to make lunch soon." "Okay?" "DANNY:" "Okay, Mom." "Can I go to my room and get my fire engine?" "Come here for a minute first." "How's it going, Doc?" "Okay." "Having a good time?" "Yes, Dad." "Good." "I want you to have a good time." "I am, Dad." "Dad?" "Yes?" "Do you feel bad?" "No." "I'm just a little bit tired." "Then why don't you go to sleep?" "I can't." "I got too much to do." "Dad?" "Yes?" "Do you like this hotel?" "Yes." "I do." "I love it." "Don't you?" "I guess so." "Good." "I want you to like it here." "I wish we could stay here forever and ever and ever." "Dad?" "What?" "You would never hurt Mommy or me, would you?" "What do you mean?" "Did your mother ever say that to you?" "That I would hurt you?" "No, Dad." "You sure?" "Yes, Dad." "I love you, Danny." "I love you more than anything else in the whole world and I would never do anything to hurt you never." "You know that, don't you?" "Hm?" "Yes, Dad." "Good." "[WIND HOWLING]" "[DANNY IMITATING ENGINE NOISES]" "Mom?" "Mom?" "Mom, are you in there?" "[JACK SCREAMING]" "[JACK GROANS]" "[JACK SCREAMS]" "WENDY:" "Jack!" "Jack?" "Jack!" "Jack!" "What happened?" "Honey what's wrong?" "Jack?" "I had the most terrible nightmare I ever had." "It was the most horrible dream." "It's okay, it's okay now." "Really." "I dreamed that I that I killed you and Danny." "But I didn't just kill you." "I cut you up into little pieces." "My God." "I must be losing my mind." "Everything's going to be all right." "Come on." "Let's get up off the floor." "It's okay." "There." "Now sit up." "It's okay." "It's okay." "Danny!" "Everything's okay!" "Just go play in your room for a while." "Your dad's just got a headache." "Danny, mind what I say." "Go play in your room." "Honey, let me just go get him out of here." "I'll be right back." "Danny." "Why don't you mind me?" "Oh, Danny." "Oh, my God." "What happened to your neck?" "Danny, what happened to your neck?" "Huh?" "You did this to him didn't you?" "!" "You son of a bitch!" "You did this to him!" "Didn't you?" "!" "How could you?" "!" "How could you?" "!" "Oh." "[GROANING]" "God!" "I'd give anything for a drink." "I'd give my goddamn soul for just a glass of beer." "Hi, Lloyd." "A little slow tonight, Isn it?" "Yes, it is, Mr. Torrance." "What will it be?" "I'm awfully glad you asked me that, Lloyd because I just happen to have two twenties and two tens right here in my wallet." "I was afraid they were going to be there until next April." "So here's what:" "You slip me a bottle of bourbon a little glass and some ice." "You can do that, can't you, Lloyd?" "You're not too busy, are you?" "No, sir." "I'm not busy at all." "Good man." "You set them up and I'll knock them back, one by one." "White man's burden, Lloyd, my man." "White man's burden." "Say, Lloyd it seems I'm temporarily light." "How's my credit in this joint, anyway?" "Your credit's fine, Mr. Torrance." "That's swell." "I like you, Lloyd." "I always liked you." "You were always the best of them." "Best goddamned bartender from Timbuktu to Portland, Maine." "Or Portland, Oregon, for that matter." "Thank you for saying so." "Here's to five miserable months on the wagon and all the irreparable harm that it's caused me." "How are things going, Mr. Torrance?" "Things could be better." "Things could be a whole lot better." "I hope it's nothing serious." "No." "Nothing serious." "Just a little problem with the old sperm bank upstairs." "Nothing I can't handle, though." "Thanks." "Women."
