Don't you touch me, snotbrains!
Jane
Are you all right, Marty?
All except my legs... I don't think I can walk.
You're a real booger, you know it?
HolyjumpedupbaldheadedJesusCHRIST!
Uncle Al
If Father Lowe is an innocent little lamb, why hasn't he picked up the telephone and called Constable Haller to tell him Marty's sending poisonpen letters?
I don't accept the idea that he knows who his letter writer is, Jane. Because I don't accept the idea that there was a big bad wolf who saw Marty in his wheelchair.
Why hasn't he picked up the phone and told Constable Haller that someone is sending him poisonpen letters?
Lowe's car?
Blue. This blue.
Jesus.
Would you kids mind telling me how this guy Lowe became a werewolf to begin with?
I don't know. Maybe he doesn't know, either.
Can I tell you kids something?
Sure, Uncle Al.
When me and sissy were kids, we were just like you two.
The moon's not down yet...
Damn near. Now I'll sit up with this stupid gun in my lap because I promised, but you two are going to bed. Go on, now, scoot.
Bill, I'd like you to meet Jack Torrance.
How do you do?
Jack is going to take care of the Overlook for this winter. I would like you to take him around the place as soon as we are through.
Fine.
Jack is a schoolteacher.
What time does the plane leave?
Eight thirty.
Well, that still gives up plenty of time to go over everything first.
Bill, would you have the Torrances' things brought in their apartment.
Fine.
This is our Colorado Lounge.
Oh, it's beautiful. My God, this place is fantastic, isn't it hon?
Yes, I believe they are based mainly on Navajo and Apache motifs.
Oh well they're really gorgeous. As a matter of fact this is probably the most gorgeous hotel I've ever seen.
even before anybody knew what a jet set was. We've had four presidents who stayed here, lots of movie stars.
Royalty?
All the best people.
This is the staff wing of the hotel. None of the other bedrooms are heated during the winter.
Oh!
As a matter of fact we eh... brought a decorator in from Chicago just last year to refurbish this part of the hotel.
Oh well he sure did a beautiful job. Pink and gold are my favorite colors.
Oh...well this is our gold ballroom.
Oh, I'll say.
We can accommodate up to three hundred people here very comfortably.
Boy, I bet you we could really have a good party in this room, huh hon?
Thanks.
Thank you, Susie.
Hi.
Hi.
How're you getting on?
It's amazing how much activity is going on today.
Yes, well the guests and some of the staff left yesterday, but the last day is always very hectic everybody wants to be on their way as early as possible.
By five o'clock tonight, you'll never know anybody was ever here.
Just like a ghost ship, huh?
Yes.
Mr. Ullman?
Yes?
I'm Jack Torrance.
Oh, well come on in Jack.
Very nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, Mr. Ullman.
Have any trouble finding us?
Oh, no problem at all. I made the trip in three and a half hours.
Well, that's very good time, very good. Please sit down a minute.
JAck, just make yourself at home. Would you like some coffee?
Well, if you are going to have some, I wouldn't mind. Thanks.
Susie.
Let's see, where were we? Yes. I was about to explain that eh... our season here runs from oh May 15th to October 30th and then we close down completely until the following May.
Do you mind if I ask why you do that? It seems to me that the skiing up here would be fantastic.
Oh, it sure would be
Only in a very general way.
Well...
...the winters can be fantastically cruel, and the basic idea is to...to cope with the very costly damage and depreciation which can occur. And this consists mainly of running the boiler, heating different parts of the hotel on a daily rotating basis, repairing damage as it occurs and doing repairs, so that the elements can't get a foothold.
Well, that sounds fine to me.
Physically, it's not a very demanding job. The only thing that can get a bit trying up here during the winter is eh... the tremendous sense of isolation.
Well, that just happens to be exactly what I'm looking for. I'm eh... I'm outlining a new writing project, and eh...
five months of peace is just what I want.
That's very good Jack, because eh... for some people eh solitude and isolation...
can of itself be a problem.
Not for me.
How about your wife and son? How do you think they'll take to it?
They'll love it.
Great...
been known to give a few people second thoughts about the job.
I'm intrigued.
I don't suppose they eh told you anything in Denver about the tragedy we had up here during the winter of 1970?
I don't believe they did.
Well, my predecessor in this job
The police eh... they thought that it was what the oldtimers used to call cabinfever, a kind of claustrophobic reaction which can occur when people are
shut in together over long periods of time.
Well, that is eh quite a story.
Well, obviously some people can be
put off by the idea of staying alone in a place where something like that actually happened.
Well, you can rest assured Mr. Ullman, that's not going to happen with me, and eg as far as my wife is concerned, I am sure she'll be absolutely fascinated when I tell her about it. She's a confirmed ghost story and horror film addict.
Good morning Jack. I hope you haven't been waiting too long.
No problem. In fact we had time to grab a bite to eat.
Good. Glad you made it before they shut down the kitchen. Is your family having a look around?
No, my son's discovered the games room.
Oh... Has your luggage been brought in?
Right there.
