Stay... stay away!

Stay away from me.
Give me the bat.
Jack, stay away from me!
Stop swinging the bat.
Get down.
Give me the bat.
Go away from me.
Wendy...
Go away.
Give me the bat.
Go away.
Give me the bat.
I'll bring back a doctor.
Wendy...
I'm gonna go now.
Wendy...
What'll it be?
Now I'm awfully glad you asked me that, Lloyd, because I just happen to have two twenties and two tens right here in my wallet. I was afraid they were going to be there until next April. So here's what: you slip me a bottle of Bourbon, a glass and some ice. You can do that, can't you, Lloyd? You're not to busy, are you?
How's my credit in this joint anyway?
Your credit's fine, Mr. Torrance.
That's swell. I like you, Lloyd. I always liked you. You were always the best of them.
Best goddamned bartender from Timbuctoo to Portland Maine Portland Oregon for that matter.
Thank you for saying so.
How are things going, Mr. Torrance?
Things could be better, Lloyd. Things could be a whole lot better.
I hope it's nothing serious.
Nothing that I can't handle though, Lloyd. Thanks.
Women! Can't live with 'em. Can't live without 'em!
Hi Lloyd. I've been away. Now I'm back.
Good evening Mr. Torrance.
It's good to see you.
It's good to be back, Lloyd.
What'll it be, sir?
No charge?
Your money's no good here.
I'm the kind of man likes to know who's buying their drinks, Lloyd.
It's not a matter that concerns you, Mr. Torrance at least not at this point.
Bill, how do you do?
Pleased to meet you.
Pleasure to meet you.
Eh formerly a schoolteacher.
What line of work are you in now?
I'm a writer um... Teaching has been more or less a way of making ends meet.
Well this ought to be quite a change for you.
Well, I'm looking for a change.
Glad to meet you, Winifred.
Nice to meet you.
Mrs. Torrance, your husband introduced you as Winifred. Now are you a Winnie or a Freddie?
I'm a Wendy.
Oh Wendy. That's nice. That's the prettiest.
God. This is the kitchen, huh?
Yeah, this is it. How do you like it, Danny? Is it big enough for you?
Don't let it get you down Mrs. Torrance it's big but it still ain't nothing but a kitchen... a lot of the stuff you'll never have to touch.
I wouldn't know what to do with it if I did.
Well one thing for sure, you don't have to worry about food because you folks could eat up here a whole year and never have the same menu twice.
Beg pardon?
Doc. You called Danny 'Doc' twice just now.
I did?
Yeah. We call him Doc sometimes, you know, like in the Bugs Bunny cartoons. But how did you know that?
Well I guess I probably heard you call him that.
No, we don't mind.
Good.
Sound good to you, Danny?
Oh Dick, come on over and say hello to Mr. and Mrs. Torrance.
Sure.
This is Dick Halloran, our Head Chef.
The Torrances are going to take care of the Overlook for us this winter.
Oh, that's just great. How do you folks like our hotel so far?
Dick, if you're ready to do it now, I think it would be a good idea if you could show Mrs. Torrance the kitchen, while I continue on with Jack.
It will be a pleasure. Right this way Mrs. Torrance.
Dick, can we borrow Mrs. Torrance for a few minutes? We're on our way through to the basement I promise we won't keep her very long.
No problem, Mr. Ullman. I was just getting to the ice cream.
Good evening. Forest Service.
Hallo. My name's Dick Halloran. I'm the Head Chef up at the Overlook Hotel.
Good evening, Mr. Halloran. What can I do for you?
Sir, I've been trying to make an urgent phone call up there,
I'd be glad to do that, sir. Oh why don't you call me back in about eh twenty minutes?
Thank you very much. I'll do that.
All right, sir.
Good evening. Forest Service.
Hallo, this is Dick Halloran again. I called a while ago about the folks at the Overlook Hotel.
I'm afraid it's advocaat sir. It tends to stain.
Advocaat is it?
Yes sir. Look um... I think the best thing is to come along to the gentlemen's room, sir, and eh...
That doesn't matter, sir. You're the important one.
Awfully nice of you to say. Of course I intend to change my jacket this evening before the fish and goose soiree.
Won't keep you a moment, sir.
Fine.
Grady?
Yes, sir.
Delbert Grady.
That's right, sir.
haven't I seen you somewhere before?
Why no, sir. I don't believe so.
Ah ha, it's coming off now, sir.
Eh... Mr. Grady... weren't you once the caretaker here?
Why no, sir. I don't believe so.
