Grady, sir.

Delbert Grady.

Grady?

Yes, sir.

Delbert Grady.

That’s right, sir.

Uh

Mr. Grady haven’t l seen you somewhere before?

Why, no, sir.

I don’t believe so.

It’s coming off now, sir.

Uh.

Mr. Grady weren’t you once the caretaker here?

Why, no, sir.

I don’t believe so.

You a married man, are you, Mr. Grady?

Yes, sir.

I have a wife and two daughters, sir.

And where are they now?

They’re somewhere around.

I’m not quite sure at the moment.

Mr. Grady.

You were the caretaker here.

I recognize you.

I saw your picture in the newspapers.

You chopped your wife and daughter up into little bits.

And then you blew your brains out.

That’s strange, sir.

I don’t have any recollection of that at all.

Mr. Grady you were the caretaker here.

I’m sorry to differ with you, sir.

But you are the caretaker.

You’ve always been the caretaker.

I should know, sir.

I’ve always been here.

Did you know, Mr. Torrance that your son is attempting to bring an outside party into this situation?

Did you know that?

No.

He is, Mr. Torrance.

Who?

A nigger.

A nigger?

A nigger cook.

How?

Your son has a very great talent.

I don’t think you are aware how great it is.

But he is attempting to use that very talent against your will.

Well he is a very willful boy.

Indeed he is, Mr. Torrance.

A very willful boy.

A rather naughty boy if l may be so bold, sir.

It’s his mother.

She interferes.

Perhaps they need a good talking to.

lf you don’t mind my saying so.

Perhaps a bit more.

My girls, sir they didn’t care for the Overlook at first.

One of them actually stole a pack of matches and tried to burn it down.

But I corrected them, sir.

And when my wife tried to prevent me from doing my duty.

l corrected her.

We have the Snowcat.

If the weather breaks we might just be able to get down the mountain.

I could call the forest rangers first and then tell them that we’re coming so that they could start searching for us in case we didn’t make it.

And if Jack won’t come with us.

I’ll just have to tell him that we’re going by ourselves.

That’s all there is to it.

Redrum.

Redrum.

Danny!

Danny, what’s the matter, hon?

Redrum!

Are you having a bad dream?

Danny.

Hon?

Danny’s not here, Mrs. Torrance.

Come on, hon.

Wake up.

You just had a bad dream.

Everything’s okay.

Danny can’t wake up, Mrs. Torrance.

Danny, wake up!

Come on.

Right now.

Wake up!

Danny’s gone away, Mrs. Torrance.
