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? Jack Torrance: They were a party of settlers i...
[about Wendy] Delbert Grady: I feel you will have to deal with this matter in the harshest possible way, Mr. Torrance. Jack Torrance: There's nothing I look forward to with greater pleasure, Mr. Grady.
Injured Guest: [to Wendy] Great party, isn't it?
Lloyd: What will you be drinking, sir? Jack Torrance: Hair of the dog that bit me, Lloyd.
Jack Torrance: [disappointed at finding the bar empty] God, I'd give anything for a drink. I'd give my goddamned soul for just a glass of beer.
Danny Torrance: [as Tony] Danny isn't here, Mrs. Torrance.
Danny Torrance: Mom? Wendy Torrance: Yeah? Danny Torrance: Do you really want to go and live in that hotel for the winter? Wendy Torrance: Sure I do. It'll be lots of fun. Danny Torrance: Yeah, I guess so. Anyway, there's hardly anybody to play with ...
Dick Hallorann: We've got canned fruits and vegetables, canned fish and meats, hot and cold syrups, Post Toasties, Corn Flakes, Sugar Puffs, Rice Krispies, Oatmeal... and Cream of Wheat. You got... [then, telepathically to Danny] Dick Hallorann: How'...
Jack Torrance: Hi, Lloyd. Little slow tonight, isn't it? [laughs maniacally] Lloyd: Yes, it is, Mr. Torrance.
Wendy Torrance: I can't get out! I can't get out! Run! Run!
Jack Torrance: Well, that is quite a story. Stuart Ullman: Yeah it is. It's still hard for me to believe it happened here. It did, and I think you can appreciate why I wanted to tell you about it. Jack Torrance: I certainly can and I also understand ...
Jack Torrance: The most terrible nightmare I ever had. It's the most horrible dream I ever had. Wendy Torrance: It's okay, it's okay now. Really. Jack Torrance: I dreamed that I, that I killed you and Danny. But I didn't just kill ya. I cut you up in...
Dick Hallorann: Larry, just between you and me, we got a very serious problem with the people taking care of the place. They turned out to be completely unreliable assholes.
Dick Hallorann: Mrs. Torrance, your husband introduced you as Winifred. Now, are you a Winnie or a Freddy? Wendy Torrance: I'm a Wendy. Dick Hallorann: Oh. That's nice. That's the prettiest.
Delbert Grady: [to Jack, who's locked in the pantry] Your wife appears to be stronger than we imagined, Mr. Torrance. Somewhat more... resourceful. She seems to have got the better of you. Jack Torrance: For the moment, Mr. Grady. Only for the moment...
Danny Torrance: Tony, I'm scared. [as Tony] Danny Torrance: Remember what Mr. Hallorann said. It's just like pictures in a book, Danny. It isn't real.
Jack Torrance: [staring at the drink in his hand] Here's to five miserable months on the wagon, and all the irreparable harm it has caused me.
