The Shining 1980
I like you, Lloyd. I always liked you. You were always the best of them.
.. when I'm in here, that means that I am working, that means don't come in. Now, do you think you can handle that?
I and others have come to a belief, that your heart is not in this. That you don't have the belly for it.
.. and that I have signed a letter of agreement, a 'contract,' in which I have accepted that responsibility?
Here's to five miserable months on the wagon, and all the irreparable harm it has caused me.
Well... you know Doc, when something happens it can leave a trace of itself behind.
I just wanna go back to my room!

And he had a good employment record, good references, and from what I've been told he seemed like a completely normal individual.
Your son has a very great talent. I don't think you are aware how great it is.
Mr. Grady, you were the caretaker here. I recognize ya. I saw your picture in the newspapers.
Nothing! There ain't nothing in Room 237. But you ain't got no business going in there anyway.
So, stay out of Room 237. You understand? Stay out!

Best goddamned bartender from Timbuktu to Portland, Maine. Or Portland, Oregon, for that matter.
And he came up here with his wife and two little girls, I think were eight and ten.

Stacked them neatly in one of the rooms in the West wing and then he, he put both barrels of a shot gun in his mouth.
Well you can rest assured, Mr. Ullman, that's not going to happen with me.
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.
I feel you will have to deal with this matter in the harshest possible way, Mr. Torrance.

Your wife appears to be stronger than we imagined, Mr. Torrance.

Don't worry, Mom. I know all about cannibalism. I saw it on TV.

The only thing that can get a bit trying up here during the winter is, uh, a tremendous sense of isolation.
You're scared of Room 237, ain't you?

Well, I'm very confused, and I just need time to think things over!

Wendy, baby, I think you hurt my head real bad. I'm dizzy, I need a doctor. Honey, don't leave me here.
I fell in love with it right away. When I came up here from my interview, it was as though I had been here before.

Well, something'll come. It's just a matter of settling back into the habit of writing every day.
You've had your whole fucking life to think things over, what good's a few minutes more gonna do you now?
My predecessor in this job left a man named Charles Grady as the Winter caretaker.
Yeah, I guess so. Anyway, there's hardly anybody to play with around here.

Some shine and some don't. It's just that the Overlook Hotel has something like 'shining'.

I'm outlining a new writing project and, uh, five months of peace is just what I want.
That's very good Jack, because, uh, for some people, solitude and isolation can, of itself become a problem.

Yeah it is. It's still hard for me to believe it happened here. It did, and I think you can appreciate why I wanted to tell you about it.
Doc. You just called Danny Doc twice now. We call him that sometimes like in the Bugs Bunny cartoons.
And this site was chosen for its seclusion and scenic beauty.

Well obviously some people can be put off by staying alone in a place where something like that actually happened.
And when my wife tried to prevent me from doing my duty, I 'corrected' her.

Perhaps they need a good talking to, if you don't mind my saying so. Perhaps a bit more.
Maybe, but I don't remember calling him that since I came here.

Little pigs, little pigs, let me come in. Not by the hair of your chiny-chin-chin?
When the place was built in 1907, there was very little interest in winter sports.

Has it ever occurred to you that I have agreed to look after the Overlook Hotel until May the first.
I think a lot of things happened in this particular hotel over the years... and not all of them was good.
Whenever I'm in here and you hear me typing or whether you don't hear me typing, whatever the fuck you hear me doing ..
Physically, it's not a very demanding job.

Say like... it's when someone burns toast. When some things happen, it can leave other traces behind.
Has it ever occurred to you what would happen to my future, if I were to fail to live up to my responsibilities?
Just like they can see things that haven't happened yet, sometimes they can see things that happened a long time ago.
Larry, just between you and me, we got a very serious problem with the people taking care of the place.
I'm not gonna hurt you.

I don't suppose they told you anything in Denver about the tragedy we had in the Winter of 1970.
The most terrible nightmare I ever had. It's the most horrible dream I ever had.
I dreamed that I, that I killed you and Danny. But I didn't just kill ya.

Mr. Torrance, I see you can hardly have taken care of the business we discussed.

Good. I want you to like it here. I wish we could stay here forever... and ever... and ever.

One of them actually stole a pack of matches, and tried to burn it down. But I 'corrected' them sir.
I certainly can and I also understand why your people in Denver left it for you to tell me.

A kind of claustrophobic reaction which can occur when people are shut in together over long periods of time.
The police thought that it was what the old-timers used to call cabin fever.
