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.

What about room 237?

Room 237?

You’re scared of room 237, ain’t you?

No, l ain’t.

Mr. Hallorann, what is in room 237?

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!

Good morning, hon.

Your breakfast is ready.

What time is it?

It’s about 11:30.

EIeven-thirty, Jesus.

I guess we’ve been staying up too late.

I know it.

I made them just the way you like them, sunny-side up.

Nice.

It’s really pretty outside.

How about taking me for a walk after you finish your breakfast?

I suppose l ought to try to do some writing first.

Any ideas yet?

Lots of ideas.

No good ones.

Well, something will come.

It’s just a matter of settling into the habit of writing every day.

Yep.

That’s all it is.

It’s really nice up here, isn’t it?

I love it.

I really do.

I’ve never been this happy or comfortable anywhere.

Yeah, it’s amazing how fast you get used to such a big place.

I tell you, when we first came up here I thought it was kind of scary.

I fell in love with it right away.

When I came up here for my interview it was as though I’d been here before.

I mean, we all have moments of déjà vu but this was ridiculous.

It was almost as though I knew what was going to be around every corner.

The loser has to keep America clean.

How’s that?

All right.

And you’re going to lose.

And I’m going to get you.

You’d better run fast!

Look out!

I’m coming in close.

Loser has to keep America clean.

Oh, no!

Keep America clean.

Okay.

Danny, you win.

Let’s take the rest of this walking.

Okay.

Give me your hand.

Isn’t it beautiful?

Yeah.

Dead end.

Woo, we made it.

Isn’t it beautiful?

Yeah.

It’s so pretty.

Yeah.

I didn’t think it was going to be this big.

Did you?

Nope.
