sure. glad to meet you, jack. glad to meet you, winifred. oh, that's just great. how do you folks like our hotel so far? it will be a pleasure. right this way mrs. torrance. mrs. torrance, your husband introduced you as winifred. now are you a winnie or a freddie? oh wendy. that's nice. that's the prettiest. 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. 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. now right here is our walk-in freezer. now this is where we keep all of out meat. you got fifteen rib roasts - thirty ten pound bags of hamburgers. you got twelve- turkeys, two dozen pork roasts and twenty legs of lamb. do you like lamb, doc? you don't? well what's your favorite food then? well i think we can manage that too, doc. come along now. watch your step. beg pardon? i did? well i guess i probably heard you call him that. well anyway, he looks like a doc, doesn't he? me ah - what's up, doc? now this is the storeroom. in here, mrs. torrance, is where we keep all the dried goods and the canned goods. we got canned fruits and vegetables; canned fish and meats; hot and cold cereals. post toasties, cornflakes, sugar puffs, rice krispies, oatmeal, wheatina and cream of wheat. we got a dozen jugs of black molasses, we got sixty boxes of dried milk, thirty twelve pound bags of sugar. how'd you like some ice cream, doc? sociables, finger rolls and seven kinds of what-have-you. now we got dried peaches, dried apricots, dried raisins and dried prunes. you know, mrs. torrance, you gotta keep regular, if you want to be happy. no problem, mr. ullman. i was just getting to the ice cream. do you like ice cream, doc? i thought you did. you folks don't mind if i give danny some ice cream, while we're waiting for you? good. now what kind of ice cream do you like doc? chocolate it shall be. come on son. do you know how i knew your name was doc? you know what i'm talking about, don't you? i can remember when i was a little boy, my grandmother and i could hold conversations entirely without ever opening our mouths. she called it shining, and for a long time i thought it was just the two of us that had the shine to us. just like you probably thought you was the only one. but there are other folks, though mostly they don't know it, or don't believe it. how long have you been able to do it? why don't you want to talk about it? who says you ain't supposed to? who's tony? is tony the one that tells you things? how does he tell you things? does your mum and dad know about tony? do they know he tell you things? has tony ever told you anything about this place? about the overlook hotel? now think real hard, doc. think. try to think what it was. no, i'm scared of nothing here. it's just that you know some places are like people, some shine and some don't. i guess you could say the overlook hotel here has something about it that's like shining. well, you know doc, when something happens it can leave a trace of itself behind. say like is someone burns toast. well, maybe things that happened. leave other kinds of traces behind. not things that anyone can notice, but things that people who shine can see. just like they can see things that haven't happened yet. well, sometimes they can see things that happened a long time ago. i think a lot of things happened right here in this particular hotel - over the years, and not all of them was good. room 237? no i ain't. nothing. there ain't nothing in room 237, but you ain't got no business going in there anyway, so stay out! you understand, stay out! hallo. my name's dick halloran. i'm the head chef up at the overlook hotel. sir, i've been trying to make an urgent phone call up there, but the operator said that the phone lines are down. well, look sir, i hate to put you to any trouble, but there's a family up there all by themselves with a young kid, and with this storm and everything. i'd sure appreciate it if you'd give them a call on your radio just to see if everything is okay. thank you very much. i'll do that. hallo, this is dick halloran again. i called a while ago about the folks at the overlook hotel. oh, that's very nice of you. i'll call you back later. bye. pardon me, miss. what time will we get to denver? thank you very much. hello, can i speak to larry? hello larry. this is dick, dick halloran. i'm not in florida, larry. i'm calling from stapleton airport. well, i just got in from miami, and i've got to get up to the overlook today. what's the weather like up there? that means i'm going to need a snowcat to get up there, larry. can you fix me up with one? larry, just between you and me, we've got a very serious problem with the people who are taking care of the place. they've turned out to be completely unreliable assholes. ullman phoned me last night, and i'm supposed to go up there and find out if they have to be replaced. oh about five hours. i'm gonna rent a car here at the airport. oh thanks a lot, larry. i really appreciate that. hallo! anybody here? hallo! anybody here? hallo! anybody here? hallo! hallo! anybody here?
