Making 'The Shining' Page #4

---

You're distracting me...

...and it will then take me time

to get back to where I was.

Understand?

Fine.

We're going to make a new rule:

Whenever I'm in here...

...and you hear me typing...

...or whatever the f***

you hear me doing in here...

...when I'm in here,

that means I am working.

That means don't come in.

Now, do you think

you can handle that?

Fine.

Why don't you start right now

and get the f*** out of here?

All right, you!

I know you've got more.

Missed!

Don't have!

No fear anymore.

I knew it.

This is KDK 12 calling KDK 1.

KDK 12 to KDK 1.

This is KDK 1 .

We're receiving you. Over.

Hi, this is Wendy Torrance

at the Overlook Hotel.

Hi, how are you folks

getting on up there? Over.

We're just fine.

But our telephones

aren't doing too well.

Are the lines down,

by any chance? Over.

Yes, quite a few of them are down

due to the storm. Over.

Any chance of them

being repaired soon? Over.

Well, I wouldn't like to say.

Most winters they stay that way

until spring. Over.

Boy, this storm is really something,

isn't it? Over.

Yes. It's one of the worst we've

had for years.

Is there anything else we can

do for you, Mrs. Torrance?

I suppose not. Over.

If you folks have any problems

up there, just give us a call.

And, Mrs. Torrance?

It might be a good idea if you

leave your radio on all the time.

Okay. We'll do that.

It was real nice talking to you.

Bye. Over and out.

Hello, Danny.

Come and play with us.

Come and play with us, Danny.

Forever...

...and ever...

...and ever.

Tony...

...Im scared.

Remember what Mr. Hallorann said.

It's just like

pictures in a book, Danny.

It isn't real.

Please let me give you

some money.

I wouldn't think of it.

Well, how can I repay you?

It's okay. Really.

Well, I'm going to have

some coffee.

Would you like some?

Sure.

Great. Sit down.

Marvelous doughnuts.

Help yourself.

Coffee will be ready

in a few minutes.

Can I go up to my room

and get my fire engine?

Not right now.

Daddy's asleep.

I won't make any noise.

Now come on, Doc.

He only went to bed

a few hours ago.

Can't you wait till later?

I won't make a sound.

I promise I'll tiptoe.

All right.

But really don't make a sound.

I won't, Mom.

Make sure you

come right back...

...because I'm going to

make lunch soon.

Okay, Mom.

Can I go to my room

and get my fire engine?

Come here for a minute first.

How's it going, Doc?

Having a good time?

Yes, Dad.

Good.

I want you to

have a good time.

I am, Dad.

Do you feel bad?

I'm just a little bit tired.

Then why don't you

go to sleep?

I can't.

I got too much to do.

Do you like this hotel?

I do.

I love it.

Don't you?

I guess so.

Good.

I want you to like it here.

I wish we could stay here

forever...

...and ever...

...and ever.

What?

You would never hurt Mommy or me,

would you?

What do you mean?

Did your mother ever

say that to you?

That I would hurt you?

No, Dad.

You sure?

Yes, Dad.

I love you, Danny.

I love you

more than anything else...

...in the whole world...

...and I would never do anything

to hurt you...

...never.

You know that, don't you?

Yes, Dad.

Good.

Mom, are you in there?

What happened?

Honey...

...what's wrong?

I had the most...

...terrible nightmare I ever had.

-It was the most horrible dream.

-It's okay, it's okay now.

Really.

I dreamed that l...

...that I killed

you and Danny.

But I didn't just kill you.

I cut you up

into little pieces.

My God.

I must be losing my mind.

Everything's going to be

all right.

Come on. Let's get up

off the floor.

There. Now sit up.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Danny!

Everything's okay!

Just go play in your room

for a while.

Your dad's just got

a headache.

Danny, mind what I say.

Go play in your room.

Honey, let me just go

get him out of here.

I'll be right back.

Why don't you mind me?

Oh, my God.

What happened to your neck?

What happened to your neck?

You did this to him...

...didn't you?!

You son of a b*tch!

You did this to him!

Didn't you?!

How could you?!

How could you?!

God! I'd give anything

for a drink.

I'd give my goddamn soul...

...for just a glass of beer.

Hi, Lloyd.

A little slow tonight,

isn't it?

Yes it is, Mr. Torrance.

What will it be?

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 little glass and some ice.

You can do that,

can't you, Lloyd?

You're not too busy, are you?

No, sir.

I'm not busy at all.

Good man.

You set them up...

...and I'll knock them back,

one by one.

White man's burden,

Lloyd, my man.

White man's burden.

Say, Lloyd...

...it seems I'm temporarily light.

How's my credit

in this joint, anyway?

Your credit's fine, Mr. Torrance.

That's well.

I like you, Lloyd.

I always liked you.

You were always the best of them.

Best goddamned bartender...

...from Timbuktu

to Portland, Maine.

Or Portland, Oregon,

for that matter.

Thank you for saying so.

Here's to 5 miserable months

on the wagon...

...and all the irreparable harm

that it's caused me.

How are things going,

Mr. Torrance?

Things could be better.

Things could be

a whole lot better.

I hope it's nothing serious.

Nothing serious.

Just a little problem with...

...the old sperm bank

upstairs.

Nothing I can't handle,

though.

Thanks.

Women.

Can't live with them...

...can't live without them.

Words of wisdom, Lloyd.

Words of...

...wisdom.

I never laid a hand on him,

goddamn it.

I didn't.

I wouldn't touch one hair

on his goddamn little head.

I love the little

son of a b*tch.

I'd do anything for him.

Any f***ing thing for him.

But that b*tch!

As long as I live...

...she'll never let me forget

what happened.

I did hurt him once, okay?

It was an accident.

Completely unintentional.

It could have happened

to anybody.

And it was three goddamn

years ago!

The little f***er had thrown all my

papers all over the floor.

All I tried to do was pull him up.

A momentary loss of

muscular coordination.

I mean...

...a few extra foot-pounds

of energy...

...per second, per second.

Thank God you're here.

There's someone else

in the hotel with us.

There's a crazy woman

in one of the rooms.

She tried to strangle Danny.

Are you out of your f***ing mind?

It's the truth! Really.

I swear it.

Danny told me.

He went up into

one of the bedrooms.

The door was open, and he saw this

crazy woman in the bathtub.

She tried to strangle him!

Which room was it?

From Channel 10 in Miami...

...this is Newswatch

with Glen Rinker...

...Ann Bishop, and

the award-winning Newswatch team.

Good evening. I'm Glen Rinker,

Newswatch Ten.

As Miami continues to swelter

in a record winter heat wave...

...bringing temperatures

to the 90s...

...Central and Mountain states

are buried in snow.
