The Shining (film)

"God, I'd give anything for a drink. I'd give my goddamned soul for just a glass of beer."

"It was just one of those things, you know. Purely an accident. My husband had, uh, been drinking, and he came home about three hours late. So he wasn't exactly in the greatest mood that night. And, well, Danny had scattered some of his school papers all over the room, and my husband grabbed his arm and pulled him away from them. It's...it's just the sort of thing you do a hundred times with a child, you know, in the park or in the streets. But on this particular occasion, my husband just used too much strength, and he injured Danny's arm. [nervous laugh] Anyway, something good did come out of it all, because he said "Wendy, I'm never gonna touch another drop. And if I do, you can leave me." And he didn't, and he hasn't had any alcohol in, uh, five months."

"[to Jack; about Danny's bruised neck] You did this to him, didn't you? You son of a bitch! You did this to him! Didn't you?! [Jack shakes his head] How could you?! How could you?!"

"Tony, I'm scared. [as Tony] Remember what Mr. Hallorann said. It's just like pictures in a book. It isn't real."

"[as Tony] Danny's not here, Mrs. Torrance...Danny can't wake up, Mrs. Torrance...Danny's gone away, Mrs. Torrance."

"[As Tony] Redrum!"

"Grady Twins: Hello, Danny. Come and play with us. Come and play with us, Danny. Forever... [3 shots of their bloody corpses] ...and ever...and ever."

"Injured Guest: Great party, isn't it?"

"I don't get it. But there are a lot of things that I don't get. But obviously people absolutely love it, and they don't understand why I don't. The book is hot, and the movie is cold; the book ends in fire, and the movie in ice. In the book, there's an actual arc where you see this guy, Jack Torrance, trying to be good, and little by little he moves over to this place where he's crazy. And as far as I was concerned, when I saw the movie, Jack was crazy from the first scene. I had to keep my mouth shut at the time. It was a screening, and Nicholson was there. But I'm thinking to myself the minute he's on the screen, "Oh, I know this guy. I've seen him in five motorcycle movies, where Jack Nicholson played the same part." And it's so misogynistic. I mean, Wendy Torrance is just presented as this sort of screaming dishrag. But that's just me, that's the way I am."

"Some places are like people: some shine and some don't"

"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy..."
