Jack Torrance: [chasing Danny with an axe] Danny! Daddy's home!
Wendy Torrance: Mr Hallorann. How did you know we call Danny Doc?
Dick Hallorann: Excuse me?
Wendy Torrance: Doc. You just called Danny Doc twice now. We call him that sometimes like in the Bugs Bunny cartoons.
Dick Hallorann: You must have called him that.
Wendy Torrance: Maybe, but I
don't remember calling him that since I came here.
Dick Hallorann: Well he looks like a Doc to me.
[to Danny, in a Bugs Bunny voice]
Dick Hallorann: Eh... What's up Doc?
[first lines]
Jack Torrance: Hi, I've got an appointment with Mr. Ullman. My name is Jack Torrance.
Danny Torrance: [reading Halloran's thoughts] Mr. Hallorann, are you scared of this place?
Dick Hallorann: No. There ain't nothing here. It's just that... you know some places are like people. Some shine and some don't. It's just that the Overlook Hotel has something like "shining".
Danny Torrance: Is there something bad here?
Dick Hallorann: [after a long pause] Well... you know Doc, when something happens it can leave a trace of itself behind. Say like... it's when someone burns toast. When some things happen, it can leave other traces behind. Not things anyone can notice, but things that only people with shine can see. Just like they can see things that haven't happened yet, sometimes they can see
things that happened a long time ago. I think a lot of things happened in this particular hotel over the years... and not all of them was good.
Danny Torrance: What about Room 237.
Dick Hallorann: Room 237?
Danny Torrance: You're scared of Room 237, ain't you?
Dick Hallorann: [after a short pause] Uh...
no I ain't.
Danny Torrance: Mr. Hallorann, what is in Room 237?
Dick Hallorann: [firm tone] Nothing! There ain't nothing in Room 237. But you ain't got no business going in there anyway. So, stay out of Room 237. You understand? Stay out!
Dick Hallorann: What flavor ice cream do you want?
Danny Torrance: Chocolate.
Dick Hallorann: Then chocolate it shall be.
[Past guests at the Overlook Hotel]
Stuart Ullman: Four presidents, movie stars...
Wendy Torrance: Royalty?
Stuart Ullman: All the best people.
