"Don't." "Please." "I'm bleeding." "I can feel it." "Really?" "How about this?" "I'm sorry for sins committed against thee." "Hail Mary, full of grace." " Blessed art thou among women." " Give me the ax." " You gotta watch her, she creeps." " What?" "The boiler, she creeps." "Tell Ullman and he'll tell you we can't afford a new one." "Even if this is the best hotel around." "This place is gonna go Rocky Mountain-high one day." "I just hope that tomfool Ullman is here to ride the rocket." " The pressure gauge and drop valve." " What's she rated for?" "She's rated for 160, but you couldn't get me down here if the dial gets up to 140." "It's got a safety valve, but it's been rusted shut for 20 years." "So here's what you gotta do." "Watch it, it's hot." "Yeah, okay." "You dump it like that every night, last thing you'll be all right, Mr. Torrance." "But remember, no safety valve, so don't forget." "It wouldn't do to forget that, would it?" "Come over here and I'll show you where Ullman wants those rattraps set." "He's always talking about rats." "He's crazy on the subject." "Crazy on a lot of subjects, if you ask me." " This is rat country." " Well, yeah." "I keep telling Ullman to get rid of all this stuff." "Talk about putting out a welcome mat for the buggers." "He won't hire a couple of kids to do it, because he's cheap." "You can't fight city hall." "I just put the traps down the way he wants." "Life's too short to fight with the likes of him." "Besides, every hotel's got rats." "And every hotel has got scandals." "I'm sure the Overlook has had its share, huh?" "The reason they pay Ullman 60 grand is he's so good at hushing them up." "He's great." "Gotta give him that much." "We had this lady here last summer, wife of some big-shot lawyer not that she was with the lawyer." "She was with some college kid." "Third night of their stay, he cuts out she draws herself a warm tub of water..." "And?" "Slit her wrists." "Man, what a mess." "Ullman hushed it up, though." "Then there was this last caretaker, Grady." " Yeah, what about him?" " Nothing." "What about him?" "He killed himself too." "No razorblades for him, though." "Shotgun." "Both barrels-- Pulled the trigger with his toe." " Out go the lights." " Yeah, out go the lights." "Cabin fever, I guess." "Of course, he was alone." "You'll have your wife and your boy." "Mr. Torrance, you wanna watch out for them." "No offense." "It'd be bad to get in some jackpot situation after the roads are closed." "I'll take care of them, don't you worry." "Don't let Ullman get your goat." " I need this job too badly." " I know what you're telling me." " Any ghosts?" " What?" "You said that every hotel's got its rats, got its scandals." "What about ghosts?" "No ghosts." "Not here." "Come on, let's go." " I thought you got lost." " Nope." "Hey, wait up!" " Interesting form of the game." " It's called Denver croquet." "Invented by a man named Horace Derwent." "As with Derwent himself, everything in the game is larger than life." "Twice ordinary croquet size, as a matter of fact." "Kids love it, and most adults come to love it too." "It's more challenging than it looks, due to the size of the ball." "Does your wife understand what you'd be taking on here?" " And there's your son too." " Wendy is an extraordinary woman." " And your son is also extraordinary?" " We like to think so." "I don't suppose you care much for me." "Few on my staff do, I imagine." "They regard me as a bit of a bastard." "They're right." "One has to be to run a hotel such as this in the manner it deserves." "It is a great hotel." "Good shot!" "And it was Horace Derwent who built this hotel?" "In addition to inventing Denver croquet." "Not at all." "The Overlook has been here almost since the turn of the century." "Mr. Derwent was the man who rescued it from extinction." "He turned it into a show place after World War ll." "It's run in the black since 1975." "We'd like to keep it that way." "Mr. Ullman, if you have something you want to say why don't you come out and say it?" "Last winter there was a grotesque tragedy at the Overlook." " The caretaker" " Did some dental work with a shotgun." "Grady, his name was?" "Watson's been talking, I see." "Yes, Grady was his name." "I made a mistake, I admit it." "The man was a drunk." "Well, I guess I should've known." "Mr. Ullman, the bottle and I have parted company." "Alcoholics never really part company with the bottle, correct?" "They just hope that nothing will push them over the edge." "But in the winter, the Overlook is full of edges." "The board of directors has hired you over my strenuous objections." "You are a beneficiary of our politically correct times." "The board has put an alcoholic less than a year from his last drink in charge of a great resort hotel." "May I be frank?" " Why stop now?" " It makes me sick." "I cannot believe this." "Those men gave" "Mr. Torrance, I'm told that when you drink, you become emotionally unstable." "Since I'm not drinking" "You were teaching at a prep school." "That was your last job?" "You beat up a student." "Quite badly." "That was less than five months ago, wasn't it?" "After you quit drinking?" "George Hatfield." "I had to cut him from the debating team at Stovington." "He took it personally." "What do you think you're doing?" "What the hell are you doing?" "That was the last of the storms." "Until then, I wasn't going to the meetings." "Really?" "I was on what the old-timers like to call a "dry drunk." A bad one." "It took losing my job to bring me to AA." "Since then" "Everything's been rosy." "No." "No, not rosy, bearable." "You won't find any AA meetings here." "Not once the snow starts to fly." "There are three 800-number meetings each week." "I'll also be talking to my sponsor on the phone." "I'll have the Big Book with me and my family." "They're the most important thing, Wendy and Danny." "And there's my play." "I'm trying to write a play." "This winter, I'll not only be taking care of the Overlook I'll be taking care of myself and my family." "And I won't be doing any of it for you." "I actually find that rather comforting." "I thought that you would." " Mom?" " Yeah?" "Can I go outside?" " Will you stay where I can see you?" " Sure." "You gonna go wait for Dad?" " What's your drawing?" " Fruit." " What you making?" " Chicken pie for dinner." " Could you leave out the peas?" " Okay." " Danny?" " Yeah?" "Did your dad get the job?" "The man he talked to didn't like him, but he got it." "Are you sure?" " Do you need me to fix this?" " No, it's okay." "Daddy will fix it when he gets home." "Well, if you change your mind, I got some tape." "Draw good fruit." " Stay where I can see you." " I will." "Draw good fruit." "Pilot to tower." "Gotta make an emergency landing, wing's all screwed up." "Look at this mess!" "I'm sorry, Daddy." "I didn't mean to." "I was trying to fix up your desk for a surprise." "I go to use the phone and come back to this?" "Answer me, you damn pup." "I'll fix you." "You get over here and take your medicine." "Jack, what did you do to him?" "I'm sorry." "It's just since that George Hatfield thing..." "I don't believe you." "What did you do to him?" "What did you do to Danny?" "Doc?" "You awake, Doc?" "I am never going to another emergency ward, Jack." "I'm never gonna lie for you again, either." "You said you didn't need the meetings." " You said you could stop on your own." " I was wrong." "I never in all his life, did anything like that to him before." "That's the only reason I'm still in this bed with you." "Still in this house with you." "Still in this life with you." "Anything ever happens again, I am packing my bags and I'm leaving." "And I'm taking him with me." "You won't need to." "What do you mean?" "I'll leave." "One way or the other." "What are you talking about?" "About not being able to stand myself like this." "You're right." "It's gotta end." "One way or the other." " Danny?" " What?" "What do you want?" "I'm here." "Danny." "Danny." "Good shot!" "Danny." "Hi, Doc." "Hi, Tony." "What do you want?" " Tony, you're scaring me." " I know, Doc." "I'm sorry, but I have to." "Stay away, Danny." "Stay away." "No, Tony." "No." "Please." "No, Tony." "No." "Come out and take your medicine." "Come out here, you damned little pup." "Get out here right now." "You're making it worse for yourself." "I'll find you." "And when I do, by God, you'll take your medicine now!" "No!" "Daddy!" "Hey, Dad, hi." "Hey, Danny boy." "How you doing, kiddo?" "Danny?" "Danny, you okay?" "Danny?" "Dan, what--?" "Danny?" "You all right, son?" " I'm okay, Daddy." " Yeah?" "Well, give it to me, big boy." "Hey, good one, huh?" " Last one." " Don't drop him, Jack." " Kissing." " Yeah, that's what I've been missing." "Get the groceries, okay?" "Can you make it by yourself?" " Sure, I can." " All the way up those stairs?" "There he is, ladies and germs." "Doc Torrance, world's strongest man!" " You got it." " I was a lock." "You knew that, right?" "No, I didn't." "Neither did you." "The board could have reversed itself despite your old drinking buddy, Al." "Did you get all of that stuff from little Kreskin?" "No." "What Danny has didn't come from outer space, you know." "Maybe I got a little of it too." "Maybe we both do." " But he knew that I got the job?" " He sure did." "And he knew that Ullman didn't like you." "That Ullman was one vicious little son of a" " You'll never have to see him." " Thank God for small favors." "Hello?" "Yes, this is Al Shockley." "I'll accept the charges." "Jack, how'd it go with Ullman?" "He made it very clear that he didn't approve of hiring an alcoholic as a caretaker." "But I got the job, and I just called to say thanks." "You know what they say at the AA meetings." "Don't thank me, thank your higher power." "In this case, I'd say my higher power is the board of directors and you, Al." "And if I cannot finish my play snowed in all winter, I'll never be able to." "You'll finish." "Jack, did you tell Ullman you had a slip before you left Vermont?" "Doc?" "You okay, Doc?" " No." "No, I did not." " Well, that's maybe not so good." "You know what they say in the meetings, "Honesty in all our affairs."" "Sometimes honesty's a luxury, Al." "I need this job, you know?" "I mean, I really need this job." "And Ullman never actually came out and asked." "I get the point." "Hitting your meetings?" "Yeah, every night, every night." "I have some milk and ice cream that's getting warm, so I think I better..." "I understand." "Well, have a great winter up there." "And if you need to talk about our mutual problem, you've got my number." "Yes, I do." "Thank you." "Thanks for everything." "Yeah." "Very easy for you, isn't it?" "Checkbook kid, yeah." "Come on, get off my butt, man." "That's okay, Dad." "Let him sit on it and rotate." "Daniel Torrance, where did you hear that?" " Elmer Martin at daycare." " Well, don't you say it anymore, okay?" " Why?" " It's not nice." " Get off the road!" " Hey, read between the lines, pal." "Fuel pump." "The fuel pump will make it another three miles." "Just relax." "Look who's talking." "Get away." "What's that one, Mom?" ""Entering Sidewinder Pass."" "That's as far as the snowplows go in the winter, Danny." "The road is closed from here over to Buckland, Utah." "That's why the Overlook is just a summertime hotel?" " That's right." " The pantry's fully stocked, right?" "Of course." "Why?" "I wouldn't want to end up like the Donner Party." "Who are the Donners, and what kind of party did they have?" "All right." "Well, actually, Daniel, it was kind of a dinner party." "The Donners had a dinner." "It was a Donner-dinner." "That's right." "That's exactly what it was." "It was a Donner-dinner." "What's that one?" "That sign says, "We take a look where we're gonna spend the winter."" " Wow." " That's an authentic wow, all right." " Jack, it's wonderful." " Yeah." "There she is." " Redrum." " Join us, Danny." "Come out here, you damn pup." "Danny." "Danny." "Hey, Doc, it's dangerous." "You ought to stay away from there." "I can't." "You know I can't." "Whoa, a little close to the edge there, Doc." "Danny, are you all right?" "I'm fine." "Come on, let's go." "You were right about the fuel pump." "Yeah, although the last five miles, I had my doubts." " What are those animals?" " That's called a topiary." "Those are animals that are made out of hedges." "Aren't they cool?" "They sure are." " Danny, are you sure you're all right?" " Come on, he's fine." "Ullman's gone, thank God." "The cook, Hallorann his name is, is supposed to show us around." "It was those topiaries that made Uncle Al think of me for the job." "He remembered I worked for a landscaping company in college." "I used to trim this lady's topiary." "In fact, I used to trim her topiary once a week." " Get away." " Did she have nice hedges, Daddy?" "They were..." "Yeah, well..." " What did I say?" " Nothing, honey." "Look." "Look at this." "There's a playground." "A playground, all to yourself." "You never have to wait for the slide." " Not bad, huh?" " Cool." "We'll come back for the bags." "Let's go find Hallorann." "Did you think they were coming to get you?" "Of course not." "They're just hedges." "Correct!" "Give that man a cigar and a blowtorch to light it with." " Well, what do you think?" " Wow." "Yes, sir." "Built in 1909." "That's what the guidebook says." "It's incredible." "It's just incredible seeing it like this." "No one else here." "Are you sure there is someone here?" "You must be the Torrances." " Right." "I'm Jack." " Pleased to meet you, Jack." "This is my wife, Wendy." "The short one there is our boy, Danny." " Dick Hallorann." " Nice to know you, Mr. Hallorann." "Dick, please." " Nice to meet you." " I'm pleased to meet you." "Come on." "Level with me, son." "Are you gonna spend the winter here?" "Yeah." "No." "You'll come down to St. Pete with me." "Learn to make the best Creole shrimp." "When you're not studying college girls in bikinis." " Jack." "How are you?" " Good to see you." " Let me get those." " Thanks." "Wendy, Danny, this is Mr. Watson." "He's the regular custodian." "Plain old Pete." " Nice to meet you." " Thank you." " Nice to meet you, Pete." " Howdy, partner." "Son, are you a buckaroo or a tenderfoot?" "I guess I'm a tenderfoot." "We're from Vermont." " Tenderest feet you ever saw." " You'll be a buckaroo come springtime." "Then you'll be ready for a hat like mine." "Maybe you would want one a tad smaller, huh?" "Excuse me, son." " I'll take this stuff to the cars." " No, Pete." "I got this." " Show them the kitchen." " That's your territory." "But I seen it a zillion times." "I need fresh air." "Give me the keys." "Whatever you say." "Come on out this way, folks." "The kitchen is in here." "Wanna lend me a hand, Doc?" "If my mommy says I can." "Okay." "Let's get you zipped up." "It's cold out there." "Mr. Hallorann" " I'm sorry, Dick." "How did you know that we call Danny "Doc" sometimes?" "Oh, I heard it when you came in." "The acoustics in this place are funny." "You'll see." "Okay." "Well, Doc, you gonna give me a hand, or you just gonna stand there?" "Okay, folks, back this way." "Now, watch out for this flapper here." "She'll pull out and bite you." "You shine on." "Harder than anybody I ever met in my life and I'm 60 come this January." "Shine on?" "You got a knack, that's all." "I've always called it the shining." "My gram called it that too." "She had it." "Had it strong." "We used to sit in the kitchen when I was a boy no older than you and have long talks without ever opening our mouths." "Am I the only one you ever met?" " No, child, no." " Are there lots, then?" "Nope." "But you do run across them from time to time like folks with six fingers on a hand or eyes that ain't the same color." "Most folks who shine only shine a little." "But you, son, I can feel it coming off you like heat." "I bet you just about glow in the damn dark, boy." "My Bessie." "It came off the assembly line in 1959." "Not a speck of rust on her." "Isn't she sweet?" "Sweet as honey from the bee." ""Sweet as honey from the bee." That's what you said." "That's right." "Give me a blast." "Think at me as hard as you can." "I wanna see just how much you got." " What do you want me to think?" " Anything that's hard." "Okay." "Hi, Dick!" "Mr. Hallorann?" "Dick, are you okay?" "Your nose!" "I'm okay." "It's nothing." "I broke a piece of your car." "I'm sorry." "Please don't tell my dad." "He could get mad." "Nobody's gonna tell your daddy anything." "This is between you and me." " You did that?" " Yeah." "Sometimes it happens when I think really hard." "Once I was at a basketball game with my dad at his school, and I got excited." "You ain't a pistol, Danny." "You're an all-out atomic bomb." "Did you go as hard as you could?" "You didn't, did you?" "No." "I got scared at the last second and held back." "It's a good thing you did." "You probably would've torn my poor head clean off." "You can feed an army with this stuff in here." "What's this?" "Something special Dick left for your Christmas." "There's a capon for Thanksgiving." "That's in one of the smaller freezers, through the pantry." " How many smaller freezers are there?" " Three." "Come on." " Are those necessary?" " Can't trust latches in the Overlook." "Doors, even heavy ones, have a way of coming open." "Drafts, I guess." "You got three stoves six ovens, counting your microwave and Dutch ovens." "Yeah." "Cook a TV dinner in every one of them." "TV dinners are what I do best." "You'll have to leave a trail of bread crumbs when I come in here." "You can't let it get you down." "It's still just a kitchen." "Most of this you won't touch." "There's a pantry back there." "A vegetable bin." "We've got a cellar behind the trap door full of potatoes." "You got a meat slicer here." "You got a food processor." "You got sinks over there." "The dishwashers are over there." "Two of them." "Two each." "What is this here?" "Dick has left you a complete list of all the edibles in the place." "Can you read his writing?" "A hundred and twenty pounds of hamburger." "Sixteen gallons of redeye chili, three legs of lamb bacon, pork chops, halibut, peas, corn." "There's only three of us." "Yeah." "And the roads are gonna be closed from late October to April." "The telephone lines are above ground." "They blow over in the winter." "You got a CB." "And you wanna make damn sure it's working good." "That's for an emergency." "Basically, ma'am, you gotta depend on yourself." "The Forest Service might get a chopper in here for an emergency but with those crosswinds blowing off the Paiute Mountains San Marco Mountains to the south, don't count on it." "You wouldn't wanna end up like the Donners, would you?" " No, I don't." " Now, don't scare the lady, okay?" "Maybe it's good to be scared sometimes." "A little." "Now, you know the winters in Vermont, but it's different up here." "Compared to Vermont, this place is the dark side of the moon, buddy." "I got time to show you the dining room." "You're gonna like it, I think." "Right this way." "My gram called it "shining on." The Bible calls it "having visions."" "And the scientists call it "precognition."" "But it all comes to the same thing, no matter what you call it." " Seeing the future." " One possible future." "Because those things you shine on, they don't always come to pass." "That's how it is for me, anyway." "Now, you listen to me." "I've had some bad dreams here myself and some bad feelings." "And maybe a half a dozen times I've seen things." "Not real things, but not nice either." " What were they, Dick?" " I don't need to go into details, boy." "Once it had to do with those hedge animals." "I saw something in one of the rooms." "I want you to promise me that you'll never go in there." "That you'll just steer right clear." " Which room?" " Never mind." "217." "217, isn't it?" "Maybe and maybe not." "Just promise me you won't go in." "I promise." "The Overlook's a funny place." "Probably not the best place for a kid that's got the shining." " But you say your dad needs a job." " He does." "He really does." "Just keep a good head on your shoulders." "What that means mostly is remembering that anything you might see here can't hurt you." " Do you get that?" " Like pictures in a book?" "That's right." "People with the shining see things like pictures in a book." "And sometimes book pictures can be scary." "My dad has a book with Bluebeard in it." "And it had a picture in it of a man with a lady's cut-off head." "My mom was mad at my dad for reading it to me." "I mean, the story was okay." "I liked it." "But the picture gave me nightmares." " But it was just a picture, right?" " Just a picture." "Should you see something scary like that here, Doc just look the other way and count to 10." "And when you look back, it'll be gone." "Do you get it?" " Look the other way and count to 10." " Good." "Oh, there's a hell of a view here." "Just look at that." "Dining room seats 200." "Used to seat almost twice that when Horace Derwent ran the place." " He was this rich fella" " I know who he was." "I hope you brought your own drinks." "The employees had the end-of-the-season party last night." "I don't drink." "Well, maybe that's just as well." " That's it." "Let's go find the buckaroo." " Right." "Listen, son." "If there is trouble just give a big loud holler like the one that broke my taillight out." "I might even hear you down in Florida." "And if I do, I'll come on the run." " Really?" " It's a promise." "Sarah Hallorann's little boy Dick always keeps a promise." "Come on, let's go inside and see how your folks are making out." "Okay." "Gotta get moving." "Rawlins ain't getting any closer while I'm standing here." "Jack, take care, buddy." "Watch that boiler." "Dump it every night." " I will." " Danny, hang in there." "You're gonna be a buckaroo come springtime." "Miss, good luck to you." "Dick, try to be nice to them old folks down there in St. Pete." "You're gonna be one of them." "I showed them the kitchen." "Show them the rest." "This place makes my arthritis worse." "Especially this time of the year." " Pete, see you May 15." " You got a date." "All right." "Hey, maybe Ullman will die this winter." "Maybe he won't." "But it's happy thoughts that keep us young." " That's what my mama said." " You know it." "I'll be a pallbearer." " He's got a case on that boiler." " He sure does." "You wanna see more?" "I ain't got long if I wanna get to Denver before dark." " It'd be my pleasure." " I'd love it." " Yeah, we'd all love it." " All right." "Come on." "Danny?" "What did you and Mr. Hallorann talk about?" "Nothing, honey." "Just stuff." "Excuse me just a minute." "Got a little business to attend to." " Can I borrow that for a second?" " You're the writer." "Wonderful things the two of you are teaching my son." " Respect for authority." " Credit where credit is due." "Come on." "It's time for your first trip on Overlook's main elevator." "Installed back in 1926." "Just look the other way and count to 10." "And when you look back, he'll be gone." "Danny, coming?" "Don't worry, Doc." "Safe as houses." "Isn't that what they said about the Titanic?" "It's okay." "This baby's made thousands of trips." "Yeah, but there's always that last one." "Laugh if you want." "I'm sure this elevator's safe but this is the last time we're all in it at the same time." "If it stops with us in it this winter..." " Wendy, that is just..." " Sensible." "Never take a chance up here, Jack." "Not in the Overlook." "Third floor." "All out for the presidential suite." "What's so sweet about it?" "Four presidents have stayed here." "Wilson, Harding, FDR and Nixon." "Even Ullman don't brag too much on Nixon." "Danny, you all right?" " Don't think it'll bite, do you?" " Of course not." "In my opinion, this is the best view of the Rockies the hotel's got." "Maybe the best view of the Rockies anybody's got." " I guess." " It's gorgeous." "Pretty plush pad, huh?" "Don't." "Please, man, don't." " Ullman talked about the roof." " Yeah." "He wants me to reshingle it." "He'll get all the "for free" out of you he can." "How about this?" "Give me the ax." "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten." "I thought for a second we lost you there, Doc." "No, Daddy, I'm right here." "Look at that." "Second floor." "The elevator is the easiest way to the service area." "We'll take the stairs back down." " That's a relief." " I thought you'd like that." "You know, the guest rooms are off-limits, Doc." "All the guest rooms." "Mr. Ullman made that perfectly clear." "I won't go in the rooms, Dick." "Or the suite places either." "Good." "Well, come on back downstairs, folks." "I'll show you your caretaker's apartment." "It ain't the presidential suite, but it ain't bad either." " And now you're home." " It's great, huh?" "It's like the cabin in Michigan we used to have when I was little." "Summers were okay but in the winter when the snow came, it was magic." " So great, huh?" " Very great indeed." "I can write in here." "Just move in a small desk." " No windows." " No distractions." "Come on this way." " The master bedroom, madame." " Excellent, Jeeves." "Ah, big bed." "Plenty of room for movement." "Jack." "Where's Danny?" "Danny?" " Doc, where are you?" " In here." "Dad, Mom, look." "Bunk beds." "I'm gonna sleep on the top, okay?" " It's okay by me, champ." "Wendy?" " It's okay by me." "Very okay." " This is so cool." " It is." "Thank you, Dick." "My pleasure, Wendy." "You're good people." "With God's help, you'll have a good winter." "And I gotta go." "You wanna see me off, Danny?" "Sure." "I'll take good care of your kitchen." "I know you will." "Enjoy that turkey." "The capon too." "We will." "They're like pictures in a book." "They can't hurt you." "All right." "Call me if you need me." "A big loud shout." "I will." "Win a world, Danny." " Okay." "Bye, Dick." " Bye." "Keep them safe, Lord." "That little boy most of all." "Please." "Oh, my God." "Wendy!" "Wendy!" "She went to town." "Go on." "Get a life." "You guys." "You'll like this." "I guess you'll take your medicine now, my nasty little friends." "I guess you will." " Daddy!" "Look what Mommy bought me." " What?" "It's a funny car model." "Mommy says you'll help me put it together after I finish my first reader." "She says you're good at stuff like" "Hey, neat!" "Is it a bees' nest?" "Nope." "Wasps." " How'd you do?" " Better." "The truck stalled twice, but nobody honked at me." "Got two more bags." "You wouldn't think, with the stuff Hallorann left us..." "But no fresh vegetables." "Once the snow falls, we're not gonna do too much shopping." "Danny!" "Danny, don't!" "It's okay." "It's okay." "I killed them all with a bug bomb." "I, on the other hand, sustained several hits." "Oh, my God, look at that." "It's swollen." "You should see a doctor." "I'm fine." "I'm not allergic." "Just hurts." "What do you say, Doc?" "It's yours if you want it." "Of course I want it." "Can I keep it in my room, Mom?" " Do you think that's--?" " It's fine." "They're dead, guaranteed." "It is the ugliest thing." "Of course, my son wants it in his room." "Go on, Doc, be my guest." "You should've seen it." "It was under those rotted shingles." "Hey, Wendy." "Are you happy?" "Tell me the truth." "This is the happiest I've been since Danny was born." "I'm glad." "I got it." "I got it." "It is beautiful." "Oh, yeah, 73 degrees today." "The snow's still gonna come." "As hard as that is to believe." "So you're happy, huh?" "Kid's happy, you think?" "You have the long conversations with him." "They're about what he wants to be or who'd win in a fight between Spider-Man and Batman." "About the Overlook he's totally quiet." "Maybe there's nothing wrong." " He hasn't had any of those" " Fits." "Don't say that." "They're not fits." "All right, I'm sorry." "You're right." "Fugues, how's that?" "Fugues." "Look, whatever they were, fits, fugues or trances he had most of them when things were not going well." "And they're better now." "They're better now." "Yeah, they are." "You sure that ugly thing you gave him is really safe?" "It's a wasp nest." "It's safe as safe can be." "Okay?" ""The little puppy was sad." "'Why does no one like me?" "' he wondered." "'Why won't anyone give me a home?" "' But he was not dis..."" "Discouraged." ""'Somewhere there will be a home for me,' thought the little puppy." "'Somewhere I will find people who will feed me and pet me." "They will ne...' "" "They will never." "Don't tell me, Mom." "Don't always tell me." "I can get it, I can." "I'm sorry." "I know you can." "You are doing so fantastic, but it's bedtime." " A couple more pages, please?" " No, Doc, no." "How come I have to go to bed so early?" "Because..." "I need the rest, okay?" "So go on now, brush." " First I need to kiss Daddy." " Okay, go kiss Daddy." "Daddy?" " Hey, Doc." " I have to go to bed now." "Come here." "Kiss." "Come on, give me a kiss." "You better brush your teeth." "I smell chocolate milk on your breath." " That's where I'm going now." " Good." "How's your play?" "The play is good." "Play's excellent." "How was reading with Mommy?" "Good, but she never gives me time to sound out the words." " I'll talk to her about that." " Good." "She really needs it." "Okay." "Beat it." "Danny, we have to talk." " Go lock the door first." " Why?" "Danny, just do it, quick!" "He is picking up new words so quickly, it is spooky." "He says you don't give him enough time to sound them out." "He's right." "I just..." "I hate to see him struggle." "He thinks someone's gonna shoot him if he screws up." "He's so smart." "But, you know, he's too hard on himself." "I wonder why he needs to learn to read so badly?" "I don't know." "You didn't fall asleep, did you, Danny?" "Danny?" "Open the door." "It is late and I'm too tired to be playing games." "Danny!" "I can't even hear myself think, let alone write." "He won't open the door." "Danny, open up, now!" "If I have to break this lock, you're going to bed with a hot butt." "I think he's having one of his attacks." "Jack, open the door." "Danny?" "Wake up, son." "Look at his eyes, Jack." "Baby, come back." "Good shot!" "Great party, isn't it?" "Good shot!" "Now, give me the ax." " What is wrong with you?" " Wake up." "Wake up." "Now!" " Where's Tony?" "Tony was here." " There's no Tony." "We talked about that." " He was!" "He was in the mirror." " You were having a fainting spell." " He was!" " Listen to him, Jack." "Daddy, Tony was here." "He was!" "There is no Tony except for your stuffed dog!" "There's no imaginary pal who shows you the future!" "Stop with that crap!" "Jack, you keep your hands off of him!" "What are you doing?" "What the hell do you think you're doing?" "Am I bad, Daddy?" "Like when I messed up your papers?" "No, Danny." "I'm not mad at you." "Not a bit." "I just got scared because I thought..." "You know what, I don't know what I thought." "Why'd you lock the door?" "Tony told me to." "I know you don't believe in him, but" "Sometimes I do believe in him." "And sometimes I sound mad because he scares me." "Sometimes he scares me too." "So why did Tony tell you to lock the door?" "I don't know." "I can't remember." "Okay." "All right." "Sweet dreams." "Sweet repose." "Twelve of that, doors are closed." "Good night, baby." "Sleep tight, okay?" "Good night, my boy." "You're not really mad at me, are you?" "No, Danny." "No." "Not a bit?" "Not a bit." "I love you, Doc." "You'd never hurt Mommy or me, would you, Daddy?" "No, of course not." "Because you're different now." "Yeah, that's right." "You have your meetings now." "Yeah." "I got one down at Sidewinder and on the CB." "I think Tony told me about a game." "Oh, yes?" "What sort of game?" "Denver croquet." "It's like regular croquet, except it's bigger." "Yeah." "That's right." "Tony said the mallets are dangerous." "That I should stay away from them." "That..." "That..." "Who was it that told you about Denver croquet?" "It was Dick Hallorann, wasn't it?" "Danny?" "Are you asleep?" "You didn't leave it in Boulder, Daddy." "It's in your wallet." "It's been in your wallet all the time." "Behind your driver's license." "Is he asleep?" "What are you doing?" "I'm looking for something." "Look." "We took this when Danny was 6 months old, remember?" " Yeah." "I thought you lost it." " Yeah, me too." "But it was behind my driver's license all along." "And Danny knew." "If it happens again, we have to take him to a doctor here." "There's one in Sidewinder that's supposed to be good." "He's not a pediatrician." "He's a G.P., but the lady at the market said kids love him." "If it happens again, you two go to your mother's." "I know how you feel about her." "You have no idea how I feel about her." "There's nowhere else." "There's nowhere else!" "I didn't mean to shake him." "And I sure didn't mean to shout." "I was scared." "You know?" "Scared." "You know what scares me?" "Your anger." "It's like having a live wire in the house." "I don't want this to be an angry place, Jack." "We've had enough of those in the family, God knows." "I don't mean just since we got married." "With your father and my mother." "I'm sorry." "How many ways can I say it?" "I was scared too, Jack, you know?" "I love you." "Do you?" "Yeah." "I love you too." "What is it now?" "Mommy!" "Get them off!" " You said it was safe, Jack!" " Let's just get him out of here." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "Does it hurt bad?" "You said the wasps were dead!" "I know I did." "Stay here with Mommy." "I'll be right back." "How do you like that, you little bastards?" "Sting me." "Why don't you sting me now?" "My God." " How are you?" " Stung." "That's how we are." " Hold your arm out, Doc." " What are you gonna do, Daddy?" "Putting a hurt on those people that made the bug bomb." " Okay, your turn." " What do you think?" "I think $5000 a sting should do it, don't you think?" "I followed the directions on that label, I swear." "I carried that damned nest under my shirt." "And Danny was carrying it around." "Dan?" "He must have only been stunned." "Danny." " Why do I have to screw up everything?" " Oh, Jack, you don't." "The bug bomb must have been defective." "Had to have been." "There's no other explanation." "Would you get rid of the nest?" "I don't want it here." "Right now." "Tomorrow I want to make an appointment with that doctor to see Danny." "First thing." "Oh, my God." "Freeze, you bastards." "What was that?" "Something fell, that's all, probably in the kitchen." "I went in there for something for that nest." " Are you sure that's all it was?" " Sure as can be." "That's what you said about the nest too." "Don't worry." "Everything's gonna be fine, I swear to you." "From your lips to God's ear, Jack." "Good shot!" "Ripped by thewildbunch22" " Hi." "My name is Bob." "I'm an alcoholic." " Hi, Bob." " Hi." "My name is Joe." "I'm an alcoholic." " Hi, Joe." " Hi." "My name's Mark." "I'm an alcoholic." " Hi, Mark." " Hi." "My name's Theresa." "I'm an alcoholic." " Hi, Theresa." " My name's Mitch." "I'm an alcoholic." " Hi, Mitch." " Hi." "My name's Peter." "I'm an alcoholic." " Hi, Peter." "I'm Hartwell, an alcoholic with a fondness for tranquilizers." " Welcome." " Hi." "I'm Jack, an alcoholic from Vermont." " This is my first meeting in Sidewinder." " Glad you're here, Jack." "He's a nice kid." "And a smart kid." " As far as I can tell, he's a well kid." " Yeah?" "I'll have other people look at these, but as far as my first impressions Mrs. Torrance, we should all be so lucky." "You have no idea how glad I am to hear that." "Considering you're apt to be snowed in at the Overlook all winter, I do." "Let's wait for the blood work before we throw any confetti but as to your chief concern, there are no signs of epilepsy here." "You probably knew that, since he had the flash test and Deever series and both were negative." "I wasn't sure." "He's working on his reading?" "Overachieving, perhaps." "Yes." "You have the drive of a graduate student in the body of a 7-year-old." "And his so-called invisible friend..." "His name is Tony." "It's also the name of his stuffed dog." "I suspect Tony really was a friend until you moved from Vermont." " Wasn't he?" " Yes, he was." "I'm gonna make a guess." "This may be a little presumptuous of me but I suspect there's been some stress in your marriage lately." "It's in the way he talks about his dad, the way his eyes follow you around." "Tony has been helping him with stress, maybe even with loneliness too." "You know, doctor, Danny also believes that Tony can show him the future." " And sometimes, well..." " How did Danny break his arm?" "He didn't." "I'm sorry." "His father did." "Jack didn't mean to hurt him but he was drunk." "And now?" "Well, Jack isn't here with me today because he's at an AA meeting." "He's trying to hit as many as he can before the snow falls and he has to use the phone and the CB radio." "How long has your husband been sober?" "About five months." " Has he ever hit you, Mrs. Torrance?" " Oh, God, no." "Never." "What about now with Danny?" "Things are fine now with both of them." "And you?" "Are things fine for you?" "Things are okay." "They could be better, but they're going in the right direction." "My husband is a wonderful man." "I love him very much." "So your family's mending?" "I think it is, doctor." "We're trying to move on." "Boy, Danny's a perceptive kid." "He knew things were wrong between you and your husband when he needed Tony." "He knows now things are better, and Tony can take a hike." "You think he's trying to make Tony unpleasant so he can get rid of him." "Well, it's one strategy that imaginative children use, yes." "Don't mean to rush, but my next appointment was 10 minutes ago." "I'm sorry." "The stings?" "They've all but healed already." "There's no problem there." "Thank you." "Again, Mommy." "Okay." "Aw, man." "Come on." "Smart rats." "Whose memory book?" ""Horace Derwent requests your company at a masked ball."" "My God, look at that." "Who's there?" "Who's there?" "Anybody there?" "God, please." "Please, no!" "Is anybody there?" "Give me the ax." "Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee." "You the guy that knocked the chairs off the tables?" "Room service." "God, no!" "Please." "No!" "Is anyone here?" " Danny." "Come join us." " Danny Torrance." "Join us, Danny." "Shut up!" "Do you hear me?" "Just shut up!" "Danny!" "Danny, it's snowing." "Danny?" " Are you okay?" " Yeah." "Fine." "Did you look out the window?" "Did you see what's going on out there?" "Take a look." "It's snowing." "Do you wanna make a snowman?" " Sure." "Cool." "Daddy too?" " Okay." "Let's go get Daddy." "It's the abominable sleigh ride." "Danny." "Mom?" "Danny." "Danny, let's play." "Come and play, Danny." " Doc." "What are you doing here, Doc?" " Showing it I'm not afraid." "But you're afraid." "You should be afraid." "Hallorann said that" "He said nothing here can hurt me, they're like pictures." " If you give them a chance to be more" " I can go in if I want." "Go away." "Leave me alone." "Come inside, Danny." "Come in." "Over there, in the corner." "Yes, Danny." "Go in, Danny." "Look." "See." "Get out of here." "Do you understand?" "You can't let them touch your mind." "Do you understand?" "Tony?" "Nothing here can hurt me, just like pictures in a book if I don't let them touch my mind." "Tony, where are you?" "Help me!" "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten." "Just a hose, stupid." "Danny." " What are you doing?" " Nothing, Daddy." "Nothing, Daddy." "This is Mr. Ullman's office." "What are you doing in his office?" " You been playing with the radio?" " No, Daddy." " Honest?" " Honest." "Well, I hope not, Doc, because if the phone lines go down this is the only way we have of calling for help." "The only way." "Roads west of Boulder are treacherous slushy with patches of black ice." "The chain law is in effect" " What have you got behind your back?" " Nothing, Daddy." "Nothing, honey." "Show me." "Not supposed to be in here, not supposed to have this not supposed to go into any of the guest rooms!" "I gotta hand it to you, Doc." "You get around to breaking the rules." "You don't waste any time." "But, Daddy, I didn't go in the rooms." "I was going to, but I changed my mind." " Daddy, I" " Please." "Just be quiet a minute." "I have to think." "Got a headache, Daddy?" "Yeah." "It's the worst one I've had since I was..." "Worst one in a while." "But that's not what's important." "The question is what should we do about a little boy who cannot keep to the rules?" "How are we gonna make you remember?" "Are you gonna hurt me, Daddy?" "Like before?" "No." "No, Danny." "No." "No." "I would never hurt you." "I'll never hurt you again." " But, you can't break the rules." " But, Daddy, I didn't go in the" "Don't." "Don't make it worse by lying." "We have to be men here." "And men follow the rules." "No fooling with the CB." "No going where you were told not to go:" "The basement, the guest rooms, this office." "You got it?" " Daddy, I didn't go in the" " Men follow the rules." " Okay?" " Okay, Dad." "Okay." " Everything okay?" " Yeah." "Dad will be in to say good night and kiss you." " He's probably working on his play." " No, he isn't." "He's down in the cellar, looking at the old papers again." "It's spooky down there." "Have you been to the cellar?" "I don't want you down there." " There are rats and God knows what." " I haven't been there." "I'm not supposed to." "It's a rule, and men follow the rules." "But I just know." "Sometimes you can see what he sees, can't you?" "He just looks at the papers now." "He likes them." "He's not writing the play anymore." "What do you mean, he's not writing the play?" "He is." "That's why we're here." "You know how important that play is." "Not anymore." "He wants to write a book about the Overlook." "He knows Uncle Al won't like it, but he doesn't care." "Danny, do you think it would be better if we left the Overlook now?" "Before the snow gets any deeper?" "Tell me the truth." "What do you think?" "What do you see?" "We have to stay." "This is Daddy's job." "He has to take care of the Overlook, and he has to take care of us." " But is your daddy all right?" " He's trying to be." "He loves us." "I love him." "Do you?" "Sometimes he thinks you don't." "But you do, don't you?" "Of course I do, Danny." "But this isn't about loving." "I want to ask you something." "Is your daddy drinking again?" "Do you know?" "No." "But he thinks about it sometimes." "He thinks, "Gosh, I could sure use a cold one." But no, he's not." "Well, that's good." "Don't forget to kiss Tony." "Haven't heard much about the other Tony, have we?" " He doesn't come around much?" " No." "He must've stayed in Boulder." "Besides, he's not a real friend." "He's a make-believe friend." "Well, that's what Dr. Edmonds said, but I'm not so sure." "Danny." "What's the matter?" "Do you see Mr. Spooky in the corner?" "Made you look, dirty crook Stole your mother's pocketbook" "Now, lie down." "Time to go to sleep, funny guy." " Mommy?" " Yeah." " What's "Redrum"?" " Red drum?" " Not drum, rum." "Redrum." " I don't know." "Sounds like something a pirate might drink." "Why?" " It was just something I saw on TV." " Well, if we have that settled..." " We do." " I'll send Dad in if I see him..." " ...before you zonk out, okay?" " Okay." "Good night." "Redrum!" "Redrum!" "Look, Danny." "Danny, Danny." "How many times do I have to...?" "Unbelievable." "Yeah." "We're gonna have to have a little talk, aren't we?" "Front, please." "You know, your son's been playing down here again." "I've got a pocketful of his action figures to prove it." " See this glass?" " Yeah." "Well, this was balanced half full on the arm of a sofa that would go for more than I made all my years of teaching." "I don't know exactly how to break this to you, but Danny's 7 years old." "Sometimes, 7-year-olds forget the rules." "Then one of us had better remind him, don't you think?" " I will." "Okay?" " Good." "It's starting to thaw." "Radio said it might be the last thaw in quite a while." "Sounds like the whole world's melting." "It is beautiful, isn't it?" "It's like" " It's like we were in a cave behind a waterfall." "Coming to bed?" "Little while." "Got something for you you're not gonna find in those boxes." "If you want it." " Later, maybe." "Okay?" " Later maybe?" "What is this later?" "Wendy, I'm just trying to do the job they hired me for, that's all." "The last several weeks these boxes are all you're interested in." "Other than making sure we don't wrinkle drapes or leave smudges in the hotel." "I mean maybe I could use some caretaking too." "What are you talking about?" "Aren't you attracted to me anymore?" "You always used to be." "Except..." "Except when I was drinking." " Well, yeah." " But, I'm not drinking." "I know." "Not everything about that is an accusation." " So, what is this all about?" " What do you think it's about, Jack?" "Danny's been asleep for almost an hour now." "And I wanna go to bed with you." "Sleep is the last thing I'm interested in." "And if I have to be any more blunt than that, we're in a lot of trouble." "I'll be up in a few minutes, okay?" "I promise." "Okay, fine." "You know, Jack you're not drinking, but your old habits are back." "If that's what this place does, coming was a bad idea." "This place isn't doing anything to me, Wendy." "I'm just interested in the papers in the cellar." "I've been collating them." "Danny says you've given up writing your play, Jack." "Is that true?" "You said next to Danny and me, your play was the most important thing." "Has Danny been in my office?" "Has he been fooling with my papers?" "Damned nosy pup!" "That's not you talking." "It's your father." "You don't know how he sounded." "My dad died before we met." "I know because I listen to you." "Look at you." "You're not shaving." "You're rubbing your mouth again, chewing aspirin like when you had hangovers." "I get headaches!" "I get bad headaches." "Very bad." "It's the stress." "Is stress the reason you don't wanna make love to me anymore?" "The thaw is supposed to hold tonight and tomorrow." "We can make it to Route 50 using the snowmobile." "From there it's 23 miles to Sidewinder." "And I think we ought to do it." "Because this place is not doing any of us any good." "Sometimes Danny comes downstairs just..." " ...just looking white as a sheet." " He shouldn't be on the guest floor." "I'm not talking about the guest rooms." "He doesn't go in them." "He said you talked to him about that." "Sometimes he comes in from outside looking the same way." "He looks pale, he looks..." "He looks haunted, somehow." "I think he's seeing things here, Jack." "He keeps quiet because he's scared that if you lose this job" "You know who else is scared about what'll happen to us?" "I am." "I have visions of ending up in California picking grapes alongside all the illegals from Mexico." "Danny can learn a second language." "How nice." " That is ridiculous." " Spoken like the golden girl who got money from her loving, possessive mother." "You wanna go home and tell her what happened here?" "That your husband lost his last chance because his son sees things?" " That is so unfair and you know it!" " The situation is unfair." "But if you help me, like Danny has, we can get through this." "I hate this place now." "What has happened to us, Jack?" "We didn't have much back in Boulder, but..." "We were pretty happy." "Do you remember?" "We have to leave this place." "I don't know how I know that, but I do." "Wendy..." "Listen to me." "Listen." "I know how much I bitched things up for myself." "I do." "The booze and my temper and George Hatfield..." "Breaking Danny's arm." "When I heard him screaming and I saw the way he was holding his arm, I..." "All I meant to do, I swear, was just hold him by the wrist and just give him a little swat on the butt, that's all." "We can come out of this in one of two ways, Wendy:" "With a recommendation that'll land me a new teaching job plus the first draft of a maybe publishable book." "Or, we could be walking around with a sign saying we'll work for food." "I know that's an exaggeration, but not much." "And there are compensations." "The story that is in these boxes..." "The one between the lines..." "You can't believe it, Wendy." "The registration books alone." "The names." "Jean Harlow." "Joey Gallo." "Lana Turner and Johnny Stompanato." "Robert Vesco." "You know something?" "Sometimes I feel like they're all still here and they never really checked out." "I can almost see them." "I know." "That's what scares me." "I feel like I was meant to be here." "That somehow my whole life has led up to this." "You know?" "Wendy..." "It's just for the winter." "You and Danny..." "Please, please try to bear with me." "I swear to you, you won't be sorry." "All right, Jack." " Kissing, kissing." " Yeah, that's what I've been missing." " Do you still wanna go up to bed?" " What do you think?" "I love you, Jack." "I love you too." "Fee, fi, fo, fum." "Yeah." "The giant has come to eat you up in your beds." "Kiss your triple-A rating goodbye, you sorry..." "Work, work, work." "A little recreation here." "Damn thaw." "You gave me quite a little start." "I'm not seeing this." "I'm not seeing this." "It's just, I need..." "I need a meeting, that's all." "Need a meeting." "A little AA for Jackie." "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change." "And..." "And what?" " Hello, Jack." " Hi, Jack." "Come on in." "They don't move while you're watching them." "Maybe they can't." "Oh, no, get back!" "Go away!" "Oh, I'm tired." "I'm tired." "Tired." "Very tired." "Nothing happened." "According to the forecast, Santa won't have problems finding landing zones when he arrives later this week." "It's going to cloud up after midnight and we should expect 4 inches of snow before daybreak tomorrow." "And what a day it'll be." "Twelve to 14 inches of fresh snow and high winds will combine to create blizzard conditions from Greeley to Sidewinder." "Brethren join the Sober Sams of Alcoholics Anonymous and be saved!" "You will be washed clean, say hallelujah!" "All you gotta do..." "All you gotta do is stay away from that drink." "Just one day at a time." "Drink your coffee and smoke your little cigarette." " But believe and don't" " Jackie." "Shut up that drivel." "Daddy?" "Pardon me for asking a stupid question but aren't you dead?" "Death doesn't mean much here." "You know that." "You're as stupid as ever, aren't you?" "Aren't you?" "Answer me!" "Yes." "I guess so." "Most of the time these days I have felt pretty stupid." "You're foolish and you're weak, Jackie." "Still just a pup." "But I always had a soft spot for you and I still do." "So listen closely because a certain person a certain small person is where he doesn't belong." "Again." "They've betrayed you, Jackie." "Both of them." "And they have to be punished." "What are you saying?" "What they always do." "Holding you back, dragging you down." "Where is he, Jackie?" "Your little whelp." "Trespassing." "He's a pup." "A trespassing little pup." "Cane him for it, Jackie!" "Make him take his medicine." "You have to." "No." "No!" "Yes, Jackie." "Yes." "You're dead!" "And I don't have to listen." "So, shut up!" "Shut up!" "Shut up, Daddy!" "Shut up and be dead!" "Shut up and stay dead!" "What's happening to me?" "Come join us, Danny." "No." "Yes, Danny." "Yes..." " Look, Danny." " Look, Danny." " Yes..." "Look and see, Danny." " Join us." "Nothing here can hurt me." "Just like pictures in a book." "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten." "There's nothing there." "Nothing there." "There's nothing there." "There's nothing there..." "There's nothing there." "Hello, Danny." "I've been waiting for you." "We've all been waiting for you." "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!" "Not there." "Not there!" "Just like pictures in a book." "That was" "It figures." "Danny." "Danny?" "You better not be where I think you are." "Danny!" "Danny, you come down here." "Don't make it worse for yourself." "You get down here, you damn pup!" "Danny, you get down here, and you want to double-time, son." "I am losing my patience!" "Come down here and take your medicine!" "This is your last chance, son." "All right, then." "That's the way you want it." "Jack, what are you doing?" "Your son broke the CB." "Smashed it with a croquet mallet." "This one." "And a key is gone." "He's on the second floor." "God knows what I'll find up there" " Jack." " What he's gotten into, broken" " I'm the caretaker!" "I'm responsible!" " Jack, give that to me." "Get out of here." "What do you think you're--?" "Let's just talk quietly now, as adults, all right?" "Are you sure the CB's broken?" "Does the pope wear a tall hat?" "Danny, get your butt down here!" " Why do you think Danny did it?" " It was you?" " No, it wasn't." " It wasn't me." "I was down in the basement." "And it sure wasn't the rats." "Danny!" "Remember your temper." "No matter what Danny's done." "You let me worry about that." "No, I will not let you" "I am warning you." "Get-- Danny..." "Danny?" " Oh!" "You bastard!" "You bastard!" " Wait!" "I never" "Danny!" "Talk to me." "Tell me what happened." " Tell Mommy what happened." " Who did this?" "Don't touch him." "If you hit him again, I will kill you." "I swear to God" "I'm tired of listening to you swear." "I'm tired of your promises." "You saw that your radio was broken, and you went and found Danny." "Breaking his arm wasn't enough this time, was it?" "This time breaking his arm wasn't enough!" "I didn't see him all afternoon." "Danny" "I'm getting crucified here, son." " Tell her what happened." " Get away!" "Tell us both." "Tell us both what happened." "Come on, Danny." "Sing with me, help me sing." "Don't bother." "It's out." "It worked earlier, but now it's out." "I tried." "Storm's coming." "I don't know what's going on here, Wendy, but I did not touch him." "Well, it wasn't me, Jack, and it sure as hell wasn't the rats." "This is-- This is wet." "Doc, why is your shirt wet?" "What is that?" "What?" "I think it's lipstick." "It's not my shade." "Don't go yet, Danny." "We'll have tea." "Daddy!" "Oh, Daddy, oh, Daddy!" "It was her!" "It was her!" "It was her!" " Danny, what do you mean?" " Wendy?" "Jack, you can't think that I" " Wendy?" " I was in here sketching!" "I fell asleep, I woke up from your shouting." "I would never" "I know you would never." "It's not nice to be accused, is it?" "Okay, let's get you something." "Okay." "There you go." "Drink that up." "Don't burn your mouth." "Hot chocolate." "I love this stuff." "I know you do." "So..." "Where'd the" "Where'd the lipstick come from, Doc, huh?" "How'd you get the bruises on your neck?" "Did you get them from the second floor?" "I didn't want to take the key again." "I wanted to keep my promise." "But it was like something was making me." "All right." "Don't worry." "We'll worry about the passkey later, okay?" "But right now I want you to tell Mommy and I want you to tell me what happened up there, okay?" "The lady got lipstick on me." " When she kissed me." " Danny." " What are you talking about?" "What lady?" " The 217 lady." "Then she was choking me, and I couldn't breathe." "We have to get out of here." "What are you talking about, Doc?" "This place is bad." "Everything bad that happened here is still here." "It wants us." "All of us." "But most of all, I think it wants me the most." "What would it want you for, Danny?" "Because of the shining." "That's what Dick calls it." "The hotel shines too." "And it's getting stronger." "It's getting realer." "Dick said the things here, things I might see, couldn't hurt me." "They were like pictures in a book and I could make them gone if I wanted to." "I could at first, but..." "But what, Danny?" "But they're coming out." " They're coming out of the book." " All right." "I'm sorry, I'm not following what you're saying." "Are you saying that you were strangled by a ghost?" "There are ghosts here." "You know there are." "And other things too." "It wants to get to you, too, Daddy." "And make you do the bad thing again." "All right." "Now, listen to me." "Listen to me." "Look at me." "I have not had a drink since..." "For a very long time." "And even if I wanted one, I couldn't get one because there's no booze here." "There's not even cooking sherry." " I know, but" " But what?" "But if we don't go soon, we might not be able to go at all." "Dick said the Overlook couldn't hurt us but he was wrong." "The first bad thing I really saw was when Mr. Hallorann took us into the presidential suite." "It had gushy stuff on the walls." "Blood and stuff." "Here." "Drink up." " Do you know what he's talking about?" " Yeah." "I might." "According to the papers in the cellar a bigtime gangster was killed here 30 years ago, along with a couple of his bodyguards." "Why didn't you tell me?" "It was a long time ago, Wendy." "And I didn't think it would matter." "Dick has seen stuff too." "Once it was something bad in room 217." "The lady that's in there, I guess." "And once he saw something down by those hedges but he didn't tell me what." " Did you see anything down there, Jack?" " No." "Nothing." "Jack, where are you going?" "Up to room 217." "Where do you think I'm going, out for a pizza?" "Don't." "What if there's somebody up there?" "Not a ghost, someone real." "Well then, it's better to cover all our bases." "It's safer." "If there's somebody else in this hotel, someone real, we have to know." " Please don't leave us alone, Jack!" " Let me do my job, Wendy!" "As caretaker of this hotel?" "Is that what you'd risk our lives for?" "My job as caretaker, my job as your husband, my job as his father." " Jack" " Take your hand off me." "Hey, sport I'll be back." "Be careful, Daddy." "Look out for her." "I'll be okay." "You didn't have any business up here in the first place." "Snooping around." "No, no, I don't see that." "No!" "No, no." "Absolutely not." "I talked to him." "I talked to him." "I had a talk with him and he still" "Trespassing is what it is." "Trespassing." "That's what it comes down to." "Yeah." ""So then the big happy taxi turned on his lights and blew his horn and even made his wipers go back and forth."" "Nothing." "Nothing at all." "And I think, son it's time, once again, for one of our little chats about where you're supposed to and not supposed to go in this hotel." " I couldn't help it." " Leave him alone, Jack." "My father didn't buy that "couldn't help it" stuff." "That's one of the few things he was right about." "That's crap!" "He just had a terrible scare." "I'm not gonna spank or lay a finger on you." "I'm not even gonna shout." "But I want you to know that if I ever find this passkey or any passkey in your hand again you are going to be in big trouble." "You understand me?" "Listen to yourself, Jack." "You're threatening a 7-year-old boy." "Stop it." "I don't wanna go in the rooms, Daddy, I don't wanna go in any of them." "I wanna leave before something bad happens." "I want your promise." "I want your solemn promise that you'll never go into Mr. Ullman's office." "Danny, did you break the CB?" "Is it broken?" "It wasn't broken when you were in there?" " I..." " I, I, what?" "What?" " It was or it wasn't?" " I wanna leave too." "Please, Daddy." "You guys talk like it's a snap." "There's 30 inches of snow on the ground." "And a snowmobile in the shed." "Big enough to fit four." "We're three, and Danny's small." "Just cut and run." "Leave the hotel open to the elements and vandals." " I've gotta dump the boiler." " Look at your son!" "Can't you see the bruises on his neck?" "Are you blind?" "!" "Stop it!" "Stop shouting!" "We'll talk about it later." "We'll talk later." "We'll talk now." "Are you waiting for something worse?" "You thought I did it." "It's the first thing you thought about." "That doesn't matter." "Let's get in the snowmobile and go to Sidewinder." "Wendy, look out the window!" "Are you blind?" "Zero visibility!" " If we went slow" " We'd die if I couldn't make the turn." " Jack, why do you--?" " No, you're the one!" "Stop it!" "I hate you both!" "I hate you both!" "You're stupid, and I hate you!" "We can't leave tonight, babe." "We would die out there." "I'm telling you the plain, unpainted truth." "Okay, Jack." "Okay." ""Mr. Torrance:" "If you desert your post you won't be allowed back." "Management."" "Unmask." "Unmask!" "Sorry, Torrance, no second chances." "Not for drunks that cut and run." "Oh, I suppose you'll find some sort of job in California come spring." "Perhaps as a sales clerk in a mall, perhaps at a car wash." "That's what your wife and your kid want, isn't it?" "To see you working in that sort of a job." "To see you properly humbled." "To see you forget your dreams and remember only them." "Seize your destiny, Mr. Torrance." "Unmask." "Unmask." "If you look down into an open grave..." "Get your coat on." "I have to show you something." " Danny?" " I'm reading, Mom." "I'm going outside with your father." " Okay." " What is it?" "Just get your coat." "I'll show you." "Oh, Jack, what happened?" "It was fine the last time I saw it." "Day before yesterday, that was." " Smashed." "Just like the radio." " Just like the radio." "Jack." "You didn't, did you?" "I'm not accusing you" "Never touched it, Wendy." "I never touched it." "As God is my witness." " Then someone else is here." " I don't think so." "Well, I do." "Do you think Danny did it?" "He's too little." "Whoever did this was much stronger." "He doesn't have the physical strength, I agree." "But there's another side to him, and we both know this." "Remember how if his formula was late or his belly ached things tipped over, glasses broke?" "How the toilet would flush over and over, for five minutes?" "That hasn't happened in years." "The broken CB wasn't years ago, sweetheart." "That was last night." " He wants to leave, you heard him." " Maybe." "But maybe there's a part of him that wants to stay." "Or maybe something else does." "Danny thinks" "It sounds insane, but he thinks the hotel's channeling his special power." "No, listen to me, using him to cut off all of our ways out of here." "Then it succeeded." "And unless one of the rangers sticks his head in to see how we're doing we're stuck." "When will that be, do you think?" "I don't know." "Not before Christmas, I don't think." "Or probably not before New Year's." "I just don't believe this." "Snowshoes!" "Maybe we could get down that way?" " I can't walk on them myself." " What are our options?" "!" " We could learn as we go." " Maybe." "We could listen to the weather and go when there's a break in the snow." " Yeah!" " And if the forecast is wrong and another storm comes in-- If that happens I think the three of us might die." "Somewhere between here and Sidewinder." " Just like the Donners." " Only for a short time, Wendy." "And I promise you the first park ranger that comes up here, you and Danny are gone." "Danny!" "Danny!" "I'll be washing windows." "Stay in view." "Okay, Mom." "I will." "Jack?" "Is that you?" "Jack?" "Jack?" "Jack?" "Jack, are you in here?" "Jack!" "Jack, help me." "It's after Danny!" "Jack, it's gonna get Danny!" "Ripped by thewildbunch22" "Jack!" "He's gonna get Danny!" "Jack, he wants Danny!" "He's gonna get Danny!" "Yes, dear." "Coming, dear." "What's going on?" "What's that broken glass?" " What have you been doing?" " He's after Danny, Jack." "Come on." "Danny!" "Danny!" "Danny!" "Hi, Mom." "Hi, Dad." "Come on over." "It's good packing snow." "Maybe later, Doc." "You're jumping at shadows, babe." "I know you wanna get out of here, but" "Are those shadows, Jack?" "Why aren't they covered in snow?" "Where are the park rangers?" "Why aren't they checking on us?" "Don't worry, one will come." "But I am worried, Jack." "I'm very worried about Danny." "I'm worried about all of us." "Yeah." " Jack?" "Jack?" "Wake up." " Daddy!" "Daddy!" "All right, kiddo." "Come here." "That's a boy." "All right." "It's just-- It's just the elevator." "What do you mean, "just"?" "Who's operating it?" "Yeah." "What's that other stuff that sounds like a party?" " I don't hear anything like that." " You don't hear that?" "It's just a short circuit." "It's the only thing that would make it start like that." "I'll check it." " Jack, don't leave us alone here." " Don't be stupid, Wendy." "It's my job." "Well, we'll help you do it." "Suit yourself." "Do you hear them now, Jack?" "All I hear is an old Otis slide box with a case of the electrical hiccups." "I'm gonna take care of it." " Jack, don't." " Hey!" " Hey." "Jack." " No." "This is my job." "I'm gonna do it." " No." "Stop!" " Get away!" "Mommy!" " Jack." " Sorry." " But it's my job to know." " Take your job and stick it." "Nothing." "Empty." "It's a short circuit, just like I said." " Just like I always said." " Let me take a look." "Watch out, Mommy." "Watch out." "Watch out." "What's that?" "Is this a short circuit?" "What about this?" "Looks like somebody got their fuses blown anyway." "There is something that wants us to join the party." "Don't you understand?" "What are you doing, Doc?" "Being someone else so it won't bother me when she yells or you push." "Being someone else, sometimes that's better." "Oh, Danny." "Danny, baby." "Don't worry." "Don't worry." "Midnight." "Stroke of midnight." "Tony, are you there?" "Please come if you're there." "Please." "I need to know what to do." "Danny." "Danny!" "Come out and take your medicine." "This is what you get for poking your nose in where it doesn't belong." "Get out here now, damn it!" "You're only making it worse for yourself." "You will remember what he forgot." "You will remember what he forgot." "There you are, Doc." "Been looking for you." "Redrum." "Dick!" "Please, please come!" " Bump me, big daddy." " All right." "You can keep your Prince." "Give me that old soul music any" "Dick, please come!" " Are you all right?" " Yeah." "Sure." " Please, please come!" " Is it your heart?" "Should we lay you down?" "My God." "Dick, where are you going?" "Mister, you better sit down and just be quiet a minute while I call 9-1-1." "9-1-1 ain't the answer, ma'am." "I only wish it was." "I only wish I was the one in trouble." "I should've said something." "I should've never left him up there." "Flight 303 is now departing for Denver at Gate 12." "All ticketed passengers should now be aboard the aircraft." "Oh, no." "Oh, man." "Say it's still here." "In fact, it is." "But only for about another three seconds." "There it goes." "What else you got?" "Nothing." "Nothing until tomorrow morning." " Wow." " I'm really sorry, sir." "Not half as sorry as I am." "What do I do now?" "I need some whiskey, you know?" "Yes, sir." "Just step upstairs to the Colorado Lounge." "Drinks on the house." "I don't drink anymore." "I think about it sometimes, of course." "I had to give it up." "I'm not myself when I drink." "Is anybody here?" "I don't drink." "Short circuit." "Woods are full of them." "Sorry, got no quarters." "Not much call for pocket change up here, I'm afraid." "How handy." "Another fortuitous short circuit." "Yes, yes." "Indeed." " Let me by." " No way." "No one gets past Rover." "I'm gonna eat you, Danny." "I'm gonna start from the toes and work my way up." "Dick." "Please, please, please come!" "Are you all right?" "Dick." "Please, please come!" "It's my father!" "It's my daddy!" "Please come!" "Dr. Peter, please come to the information booth for a message." "You better be on time." "For that little child's sake." "You just better be." "Faker!" "To the ref kill him, I say." "Fortunately, my little chickadee there's a lot more where that came from." "Yes, yes." "Bebop." "Hit me with it." "May I pour you one more drink, sir?" "One?" ""One," he says." "What is your name?" "Grady, sir." "Delbert Grady." "Well, Delbert, "just one" is no longer in my vocabulary." "I've got a lot of lost time to make up for and it's been a dry century." "Yes, sir." "I meant, may I pour you one more before you go on to the ballroom?" "Now, why would I want to go into the ballroom, Grady when all my friends are here?" "You have friends everywhere in the Overlook, Mr. Torrance." "If I may say so, sir." "You keep pouring and you can say anything you like, big boy." " Why are we going into the ballroom?" " You're expected, sir." "At the party." "In that case, Delbert I think you better hose this baby down." "My pleasure, sir." "Danny, where's your father?" "He's drunk." "You don't need to tell me." "I know what he sounds like when he's drunk." "I remember." "It's not possible." "There's no liquor up here." "There is now." "What's that?" "The band." "They're here now too." "Horace, someone I must meet." "Will you excuse me?" "Bite him once in the thigh for me, darling." "Hi." "Well, hello, beautiful." "You're the new caretaker." " That's what they tell me." " Well, take care of me then." "My pleasure." "I like you." "That's nice." "We can go upstairs if you want." "I'm supposed to be with Harry Derwent, but, as you can see, he's found a friend." "Down, boy." "Down." "Down." "Stay." "Stay." "Stay." "My God, it's really him." "Speak, doggy." "Speak." "Come on, jump." " It's really him." " Harry?" "Of course it's him." "It's his party." "His hotel." "His friends." "But sometimes he's so boring." "And surely even new caretakers know it isn't polite to stare." "What do you think?" "You wanna go upstairs, see the sights, ride the rides?" "What's the matter?" "See something green?" "No." "But I don't play with Horace Derwent's toys." "Even new caretakers know better than that." "You bastard." "Grady, you old horse drover, you." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Tell you something profound, my pal:" "Love means never having to say you're sober." "Eric Livingston Seagull wrote that." " If you say so, sir." " I do." "Allow me, sir." "Whiskey, wasn't it?" " Water back, on the side." " No, no, no." "No ice either." "It was always my fate to drink it straight." "I'm a poet, but I don't know it." "Not much of a playwright though, uh..." " Grady, sir." "Delbert Grady." " You bet your dog whistle." "Thank you." " Grady..." "I know that name." " Do you, sir?" "Yes, I do." " Weren't you the caretaker here once?" " I don't believe so, sir." "You're the caretaker here." "You've always been the caretaker." " The same manager hired us both." " Ullman?" "Who?" "You might want to take that up with your son." "What's he got to do with this?" "He understands a great deal about your delicate position here at the Overlook, shall we say?" "Although he hasn't bothered to enlighten you." "Rather naughty of him." "In fact, he's crossed you at almost every turn, hasn't he?" " That he has." " He must be corrected, sir." "He and your wife both." "They don't care for this lovely old place the way that you do." "They don't." "In fact, my wife wants us to leave." "Yeah." "Wendy." "She personifies the three B's:" "Blond, beautiful, full of bull." "Women..." "Can't live with them, can't kill them." "Can't you, sir?" "If they could leave, just leave." "I mean, it's me the manager wants, isn't it?" "I mean, I'm the one who knows how important it is to keep the Overlook nice, the way it is." "Your son is trying to bring an outside party into it." "An outside party?" "The cook, Hallorann." "The darkie." "Bad, bad, bad dog." "A certain scrapbook was left for you to find by the manager." "Other materials could be put at your disposal if" "If?" " -if the matter of your son can be settled." "He has a great talent." "The manager has special plans for him." "You must deal with him firmly." "I will." "Of course I will." "I have to." "After all, that's my job." "I am the caretaker." "Where did you all go?" "I see." "All at once you're too good to drink with Jack Torrance." "Okay." "You know what I say to that?" "The hell with you!" "Where the hell did you all go?" "Excuse me." "I don't mean to be ungrateful, but may I please have a glass?" "Drinking from a bottle is an old stew-bum trick." "Well." "Well, where there's a will, there's a way." "Where's the juke?" "Play some damn bebop." "How bad is it gonna get?" "They say it may be the worst storm in 10 years." "I think it's sort of fun." "I love winter storms." "You aren't exactly dressed for the weather, sir." "That'll be rectified." " You have far to go?" " Farther than I'd like." "If you'd like, I could phone the gas station at the Route 270 junction." " They'll put on chains for you." " Thanks." "That'd be a blessing." "Hi." "Dick!" "Dick!" "Please come!" "I'm on my way, Doc." "Let up before you blow my brains out." "Jack?" "Jack?" "My mask." "Wendy." "Baby..." "Hurt my head." "Jack?" "What've you been doing behind my back?" "What are you planning?" "How long have you been trying to keep me down?" "Is George Hatfield a part of this?" "You hired George Hatfield to slash my tires so I'd lose my job?" "Did you?" "You turned my own son against me." "That was the worst." "But I found out." "'Cause I have friends, Wendy." "I have friends." "And they told me" "Daddy, stop!" "Stop!" "You're hurting Mommy!" "He's interfering again." "Trying to stop you from doing your job." "Stop hurting her!" "Stop it!" "Mind your business, you damned pup." "Danny..." "Doc?" "Oh, my God." "Mommy, no!" "Danny." "Hey." " Listen to me." " No." "Leave me alone." "I wanna go to sleep." "I wanna go to sleep." "No, Danny, you can't." "It's too important." "Listen to me." "It was not your daddy who was trying to hurt me." "And I don't wanna hurt you or Daddy." "It's the hotel." "Yes." "Yes." "I told you." "Yes, you did." "We heard him this morning, singing and talking to himself." "Sometimes he wasn't talking to himself." "I know." "I know." "I can hear them now too." "The hotel people." "I woke them up." "It's my fault." "No, it's not your fault." "It wasn't you trying to choke me." "They're getting stronger, aren't they?" "Pretty soon they won't be ghosts at all." "And then they won't need Daddy." "They'll throw him away like he was a paper cup, or something." "Watch out, Danny." "Watch out for the broken glass." "Daddy's sick, that's all." "The hotel made him sick." "I wish he was better." "Me too, baby." "That's why you gotta help me put him away somewhere." "Somewhere where he's safe." "For him and for us." "Where are we gonna put him?" "Go unbolt the door, Danny." "Come on, Danny." " Come on!" " It doesn't want to open." "Come on!" " Mommy, he's waking up." " That you, old Doc?" "Scrunch down here, let me get a look at you." "Just go to sleep, Daddy." "Danny, get out!" "Get out!" "Let me out of here!" "Let me out or you're gonna be the sorriest people..." "You've got five minutes!" "That's not your daddy talking." "I know." "It's the hotel." "I remember." "Let me out!" "Danny!" "Wendy!" "Let me out!" "You better think about this, because if I have to get out of here on my own I'm gonna find you, and I'm gonna bash your brains in!" "Don't leave me in here!" "Don't even think about it!" "You come back here and open this door." "You mind me now, Danny." "Mind your father." "Wendy?" "I'd try the snow, you two." "I'll tell you one thing if I get out of here and find you you're gonna wish you had." "Jack?" ""Jack?"" "Jack, are you all right?" ""Jack, are you all right?"" "It's only temporary, Jack." "At least you have plenty to eat in there." "You bitch." "I'm sorry, Jack." "You're out of your mind, Dick." "Torrance is in here once a week to gas the hotel truck almost always had that kid with him." "I don't think he'd hurt him." "Have I got enough gas to get me up to the hotel and back down again?" "Sure." "But you ain't gonna make it." "I love you, Howie." "You're one cheery M.F.A." " M.F.A.?" " Mighty Fine American." "Yeah, well, you're one dead M.F.A." "You better hope I never get out of here, sweetheart." "You better hope that." "You appear to be locked in, sir." "You haven't taken care of the business we talked about, sir." "Your wife and son?" "I will." "Just let me out of here, and I will." "I dislike having to tell you this, sir but questions about your dedication have begun to be asked in certain quarters." "Just let me out, Grady." "Let me out, and I'll show you how wrong they are." "I'll show all of them." "You would bring us your son?" "Yes." "Yes!" "This blizzard, the worst to sock Colorado in the last 10 years continues to rage here in Denver but, in the high country, the worst seems to be over." "Back to you, Bertha." "Doc?" "Great party!" "You shut up." "You can't hurt me." "Without Danny and Jack to help you, you're nothing." "You're just..." "You're just spooks." "Jack" "No." "Oh, God, no!" "Danny!" ""Redrum."" "Jack?" "Are you in there?" "Please, Jack, if you're in there, answer me." "Jack?" "Great party!" "You play with me all you want, but you're not taking my son." "You're never taking my son!" "You stop it." "Just stop it!" " Unmask!" " Stroke of midnight!" "Stop it!" "God!" "Stop it!" "Kissin', kissing' that's what I been missin'." "Jack..." "You scared me." "Sure I did." "You scare easy, Wendy." "That's why you wanna leave." "You're better off without that." "I wouldn't wanna see my darling spouse cut herself." "Jack." "You thought you could lock me in there." "Is that what you thought?" "No way, sweetheart." "Not here." "Not here." "See I have friends, Wendy." "Good friends." "Not like you." "You were never really my friend, were you?" " Jack, that's not true." " Were you?" "!" "And now..." "Now, by God, you are going to take your medicine." "First the whiner, then the whelp." "Yes, sir." "Yes, sirree, Bob!" "And you thought nothing here could hurt you, sweetheart." "Boink." "Wrong!" "Run, Danny!" "Run and hide!" "Run and hide, Danny!" "Let's end this now, sweetheart." "Right now." "What do you say?" "Danny!" "Run and hide!" "Run, baby!" "Run and hide, Danny!" "Run and hide, Danny." "Daddy's mad at Mommy." "Daddy finally got tired of listening to her faithless, hateful, spiteful cowardly nagging and decided to take her to school." "So run and hide!" "Run and hide, little man." "Danny, run!" "Take you to school." "Yeah." "Sometimes it's just necessary." "The way I took George Hatfield to school when I caught him slashing my tires." "Or when I took Danny to school when he tried to destroy my papers trying to destroy my play!" "He wasn't." "Shut up, bitch." "That isn't you talking, Jack." "You're not well." "Maybe you're right." "Hell, I know you're right." "But don't worry I'll be better soon." "When you're dead." "When your miserable, quacking tongue is finally just a rotting piece of meat inside your head." "And would you stop with the knife?" "That is just so old." "I'll kill you for that." "In the end it'll all work out for the best." "You'll see." "This doesn't have to be painful." "I don't want it to be" "You kill me you bitch." "Great party, isn't it?" "Look what you did to me, Wendy." "Just look." "Look at me!" "Don't shut the door!" "Wendy!" "Unlock this door and let me in." "You know, you're only making it worse for yourself." "Open it up!" "Danny!" "Danny!" "Last chance." "All right, then." "The hard way." "Danny!" "Listen, son I'm having a little problem with your mother." "You care to help me out, huh?" "A few more hits should do it, sir." "Care to take a swing or two?" "I'm afraid it's your job, and yours alone, sir." "Who says?" "The manager?" "Well, you tell the manager to watch this:" "Coming, sweetheart." "Here comes papa bear." "No!" "Mr. Torrance Hallorann's coming." "You'd better take care of this, Mr. Torrance." "Immediately." "Don't you think?" "No problem." "Stay close, darling." "I'll be back." "Danny?" "Danny?" "Hello, you old bitch." "You're just as ugly in winter as you are in summer." "Danny." "Danny, where are you?" "Dick?" " Dick?" " Wendy?" " Congratulations, Dick." " Jack?" " You're a winner." " Watch out." " And here's your prize." " No!" "No!" "No, I don't think so." "Wendy, remember that night in bed on our honeymoon?" "I sang that song to you, and you laughed so hard I thought you'd wet your pants." " Not that you were wearing any pants..." " Please, Jack." "Put the mallet down." "Don't hurt us anymore please." "You're the one that's doing the hurting." "You're the one that's making it hard." "I just want you and Danny to be a part of this." "Please." "I beg you." "I beg you." "Torrance?" "Your son." "What about him?" "We regard him as of the highest importance." "And time has grown regrettably short." "What are you talking about?" "Hallorann's dead." "We don't expect any more party-crashers." "We have all the time in the world." "You'd do better just to listen, Mr. Torrance." "Yes." "Okay." "I'm listening." "You'll find him on the third floor." "Later you may finish discussing this matter with your wife." "Then we will all sit down together and toast your accomplishment your wife and son included." "Yes, sir." "I'll be back, Wendy." "Don't make me have to hunt you down." "Danny?" "Come out here a second." "You done something wrong, and I want you to take your medicine like a man." "The sooner it's begun the sooner it's done." "My own dad used to say that." "Danny!" "Danny!" "Don't." "Please, man, don't." "I'm bleeding." "I can feel it." "Really?" "How about this?" "Come out here, you damned little pup." "Come out here and take your medicine." "Danny!" "Danny." "I'm here." "Come see." "Come see what was forgotten." "Come and see." "Can't." "Too dark." "Look, Danny." "Even Derwent forgot." "Look." "It's the boiler." "My daddy forgot to dump the boiler." "That's right, Doc." "It's gonna blow any time." "When it does..." "Everything." "Danny!" "Danny!" "Why, Danny." "Fancy meeting you here." "How you doing, Doc?" "I'm okay, Daddy." "I have to punish you a little bit now." "You know that, don't you, Doc?" "But as soon as we get that out of the way, we can all be friends again." "They don't want you here, Daddy." "Mommy, either." "They only want me." "That's a lie!" "Dick!" "Dick!" "Wake up, Dick." "For the love of God, wake up!" "Where?" "Lay me down!" "Lay me down!" "It's gonna explode." "You've got to get up." "You've got to get up, please." "Get up!" "Please, Dick!" "Jack is up there somewhere." "He's coming after Danny." "He's gonna kill my son." "It's me they want." "Me." "And now I'm gonna show you who the boss is around here." "Now." "Let's see you pull a few of your fancy tricks now." "All out of tricks, aren't you?" "Don't try to look so innocent." "I know what you've been up to." "I didn't fall off the hay truck yesterday, you know." "You called him, didn't you?" "Hallorann." "But it didn't work." "I laid him out just as pretty." "And now it's time for you to take your medicine." "And for me to do my fatherly duty by you little as I might like it." "You're not my daddy." "Such a smart little boy it is, or thinks it is." " Who else would I be?" " Just another Halloween mask." "The hotel needs you because I won't let it into my head anymore." "You don't scare me." "Oh, but I will." "I'll scare you plenty, you damned little pup!" "I'm gonna be the caretaker here you damned little pup." "I'm gonna be the caretaker!" "They promised!" "They promise, but they lie." "They made you drink again." "That was the only way you'd believe the lie." "The only way you'd hurt us." "Danny?" "Is that you, Doc?" "Daddy!" "I didn't mean to hurt you." "Neither of you." "I know." "I'm so sorry." "I'm so sorry." "I'm so sorry." "So sorry." "So sorry." "So sorry." "You know who "sorry" is for, Doc?" ""Sorry" is for wimps." "For people who aren't aren't who aren't of managerial timber." "Danny." "Danny, run away quick." "Run away quick!" " And remember how much I love you." " No." "Danny, for God's sakes!" "I know what you forgot, what even Derwent forgot." "What could a worthless little pup like you know?" "That my daddy hasn't dumped the boiler pressure today." "No." "No!" "Oh, no!" "No!" " My God, was that Jack?" " Jack?" "No." "Jack's gone." "Mommy?" "Dick?" "We have to get out." "The boiler's gonna explode." "The boiler?" "He hasn't dumped it?" "No, not today." "He forgot." "They all did." "Come on, get some warm clothes." "We got to get out of here damn quick." " Hurry, Mr. Torrance." " Dump it, Torrance." "There's still time." "Quick, Torrance, dump it." "Hurry up." "If we're in here when that boiler goes off they'll be able to bury all three of us together, in the same shoebox." "Hurry up, Doc." "Whatever it is, hurry up!" " Daddy, stop!" " What is it, Torrance?" "Nothing." "Daddy." " Come on, Doc." "Come on, we gotta go." " Leave him alone." "You can stop them, Daddy." "It's up to you." "Stop daydreaming." "Get upstairs and take care of them." "If they get away, they'll bring in outsiders." "No." "No, that's not right." "It's us." "It's up to us, Doc." "Yeah, us." "Kissin'." "Kissin'." "Yeah." "That's what I've been missin'." "They'll try to use you, Doc, if they can't use me." "Be ready." "I will." "Come on, we gotta go right now." "What are you doing?" "Are you crazy?" "I was." "But I'm better now." "Make him stop." "Hurry, you fool!" "Daddy, stop them." "They're getting stronger." "No, Danny." "No." "Danny, don't let them." "You're not real." "Now get out of my head!" "Not real!" "False face!" "Gentlemen I think the party's over." "Oh, my God." "Come on!" "Look at them!" "They're burning." "They're all burning up." "Look." "Hold on, guys." "Goodbye, Daddy." "I love you." "Candace Laurel Mundy." "John Patrick Morrison." "Shawn Franklin Nackery." "Dick." "Dick." " Judith Annette Sawyer." " Excuse me." " How you doing, precious?" " Fine, now that you're here." " I didn't think you'd make it." " I'm getting a little old for this traffic." " How is the art gallery owner?" "Okay?" " I made it through the first year." "With plenty of help from..." "Good." "Now the really important question:" " Any new man in your life?" " No, only man in my life is right up there." "Rebecca Janis Toland." "I'm gonna cry." "That makes two of us, Wendy-girl." "Daniel Anthony Torrance." "Danny Torrance is graduating with high honors." " You're gonna knock them dead at Duke." " Thanks, Ms. Jenkins." "Way to go, Doc." "I love you guys." " Dick, did you hear that?" " Sure did." "He's still a pistol." "Hey, Doc." "Good job, Doc." "What's he looking at?" "Why did he stop?" "Don't worry, precious." "All's well that ends well." "I love you." "That's what I been missin'." "Good shot!" "Ripped by thewildbunch22"
