Quotes

 * Narrator: Humans. The most widespread species of ape on Earth. For years since the Cenozoic, they;d spread around..... forging such societies. But although they;d developed mentally, they retain certain primal urges..... love, pity, and hope.... and also fear, doubt, anger, greed, pride, and stubbornness. And occassionally, any trauma can lead to one going mad.
 * Droopy: Hmmmm.
 * Tuffy: This was founded on 1907 just sometime before World War 1's dawn. Tom: Oh. When did it begin. Tuffy: It began on 1914 and ended on 1918.  Tom: And World War 2. Tuffy: Began on 1939 and ended on 1945.
 * Jack Torrance: [typed] All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
 * Wendy Torrance: Hey. Wasn't it around here that the Donner Party got snowbound?

Jack Torrance: I think that was farther west in the Sierras.

Wendy Torrance: Oh.

Danny Torrance: What was the Donner Party?

Droopy: They were a party of settlers in covered-wagon times. They got snowbound one winter in the mountains. They had to resort to cannibalism in order to stay alive.

Danny Torrance: You mean they gobbled eachother up.

Jack Torrance: They had to, in order to survive.

Wendy Torrance: Jack...

Danny Torrance: Don't worry, Mom. I know all about cannibalism. I saw it on TV. Stone Age people did so. So did some Aztecs. And some Germans during World-War 2 due to low resources. And I'm okay coz if it happened now, they'd get arrested. Cannibalism is a crime.

Droopy: Yes.
 * Danny Torrance: Redrum. Redrum. REDRUM!

[Wendy sees the word in the mirror which spells "murder" backwards]

Tom: Yikes.

Jerry: Murder?
 * Jerry: Jack Torrence has been acting odd.

Tom: Berserk. He's gone loony, I tell you.

Merqop: He should not be the caretaker. He's a very naughty boy. Each one before him.

Tuffy: Huh?

Merqop: A man named Charles Grady was here. And he came up here with his wife and two little girls. And he seemed okay. But in winter, he went on a murderous rampage and killed his family as well as others such as my brother then gobbled them up. And his predecessor. And his too. All were very naughty boys. All very naughty boys. Tom: So the old lady was telling the truth. Jerry: What if Jack Torrance goes this way? Delbert Grady: Did I? Oh, I remember. Oh, well. Life is tough. Jack Torrance: No.
 * Tuffy: Look on this. A man named Charles Grady was here. And he came up here with his wife and two little girls. And he had a good employment record, good references, and seemed okay. But in winter, he suffered a mental breakdown. He went on a murderous rampage and killed his family then gobbled them up. And his predecessor. And his too. My. The old lady was right. Oh. These previous ones. These go back decades since 1907 before World-War 1 started. Each one before... a normal guy turned into a homicidal, cannibalistic maniac. Oh, dear.
 * Jack Torrance: Mr. Grady, you were the caretaker here. I recognize ya. I saw your picture in the newspapers. You gobbled up everyone.... including your family.
 * Delbert Grady: Did you know, Mr. Torrance, that your son is attempting to bring an outside party into this situation? Did you know that?

Delbert Grady: He is, Mr. Torrance.

Jack Torrance: Who?

Delbert Grady: A nigger.

Jack Torrance: A nigger?

Delbert Grady: A nigger cook.

Jack Torrance: How?

Delbert Grady: Your son has a very great talent. I don't think you are aware how great it is. That he is attempting to use that very talent against your will.

Jack Torrance: He is a very willful boy.

Delbert Grady: Indeed he is, Mr. Torrance. A very willful boy. A rather naughty boy, if I may be so bold, sir.

Jack Torrance: It's his mother. She, uh, interferes. As do a cat and mouse. And some black man.

Delbert Grady: Perhaps they need a good talking to, if 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, I "corrected" her. So I suggest you 'correct' them... and the mouse and cat before they interfere. Jack Torrance: End their life? Delbert Grady: Yes. Life can be rough, hard, and pointless. End them and you can be free. Such bliss of death. Yess. Bliss. Bliss. Bliss. Bliss. End their life and you be freeeeee. Life can be rough. One moment you're enjoying a great meal.... and then you get double-crossed and bankrupt. If you want to go on, sacrifices must be done to survive.
 * Tom: Stuart. When you sold us this, you neglected to warn us it was built... ON AN ANCIENT INDIAN BURIAL GROUND!
 * Jack Torrance: What are you doing down here?

Wendy Torrance: [sobbing] I just wanted to talk to you.

Jack Torrance: Okay, let's talk. What do you wanna talk about?

Wendy Torrance: I can't really remember.

Jack Torrance: You can't remember... Maybe it was about... Danny? Maybe it was about him. I think we should discuss Danny. I think we should discuss what should be done with him. What should be done with him?

Wendy Torrance: I don't know.

Jack Torrance: I don't think that's true. I think you have some very definite ideas about what should be done with Danny and I'd like to know what they are.

Wendy Torrance: Well, I think... maybe... he should be taken to a doctor.

Jack Torrance: You think "maybe" he should be taken to a doctor?

Wendy Torrance: Yes.

Jack Torrance: When do you think "maybe" he should be taken to a doctor?

Wendy Torrance: As soon as possible...?

Jack Torrance: [mocking/imitating her] As soon as possible...? (normally) You think his health might be at stake. You are concerned about him.

Wendy Torrance: Yes!

Jack Torrance: And are you concerned about me?

Wendy Torrance: Of course I am!

Jack Torrance: Of course you are! Have you ever thought about my responsibilities?

Wendy Torrance: Oh Jack, what are you talking about?

Jack Torrance: Have you ever had a single moment's thought about my responsibilities? Have you ever thought, for a single solitary moment about my responsibilities to my employers? Has it ever occurred to you that I have agreed to look after the Overlook Hotel until May the first. Does it matter to you at all that the owners have placed their complete confidence and "trust" in me, and that I have signed a letter of agreement, a "contract," in which I have accepted that responsibility? Do you have the slightest idea what a "moral and ethical principal" is? Do you? Has it ever occurred to you what would happen to my future, if I were to fail to live up to my responsibilities? Has it ever occurred to you? Has it?

Wendy Torrance: [swings the bat] Stay away from me!

Jack Torrance: Why? I'm not gonna hurt any of you lot. I'm gonna bash your brains in and eat them as I'd do to Danny!

Wendy Torrance: NO!

Jack Torrance: Give me the bat. Give me the bat. Give it to me.

Wendy Torrance: Very well.

(she whacks him with it, then roundhouse-kicks him down)

Jerry: WHOAH!

Wendy Torrance; What? Damsels is so mythical.
 * Tom: Droopy!

Jerry: Droopy!!

Droopy: What is it?>

Jerry: Thank God we found you. It's Jack Torrence!

Spike: Him?

Tom: He's gone mad! He's lost his mind!

Jerry: He's going on a murderous rampage, trying to eat up everyone around.

Droopy: I was afraid of this. Many previous caretakers did this since 1907.

Jerry: We know. Thanks to some buds with the Shining.

Droopy: Oh. I heard of this. Good thing too. I say enough is enough. C'mon.

Spike; Righto.
 * Jack Torrence: Little pigs! Little pigs! Let me in!

Tuffy: Zero times by the fur on my chinny-chin-chin.

Jack Torrence; Then I huff and puff and chop your house in.

(he uses his tomahawk to chop on the door then peeks in the gap)

Jack Torrence: Here's Jackie.

(he aims his shotgun and fires)

(the lot run and duck)

Tom: He's mad!


 * Dick Hallorann: Stop!

(he restrains Jakc Torrence)

Dick Hallorann: Let's stop this madness before someone gets seriously harmed.

Jack Torrence: It would end ... with your death!

(he draws his dirk and stabs Dick's leg, then uses his spear to stab hi side.. before raising his tomahawk to strike him)

(Tom and Jerry see the shadows as Jack slays Dick with the tomahawk)

(Jack Torrence draws his knife)

(Tom pounces on him and scratches him)
 * Tom: Yikes!

Jack Torrence: You die, you double-crossing punks! Get the point!

(he shoots a crossbow)
 * Tom: Run!

(Jack Torrence bounds after them on all fours, roaring)

Jack Torrence; I'm gonna survive! I refuse to die!

(he fights police-members with his club and machete)
 * Jerry: Clever Danny. He left a trail on the other direction, causing the loony to go into this pond. Yep. He's frozen up.

Droopy: He's to go to the asylum for the mentally sick. And this cursed building is to be destroyed. Too many died in it. Too much innocents suffered for one man's crimes.
