How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from The Shining.
Quote #4
ULLMAN: And he had a good employment record, good references and from what I've been told, I mean, he seemed like a completely normal individual. But at some point during the winter, he must have suffered some kind of a complete mental breakdown.
One of the saddest things about Delbert Grady is that he never showed any signs of mental instability before coming to work at the Overlook Hotel. He was just a good family man like any other. But something about the hotel seemed to drive him completely over the edge. And the longer we watch this movie, the more we get a sense of what got to him.
Quote #5
JACK: Darling, light of my life, I'm not going to hurt you. You didn't let me finish my sentence. I said "I'm not going to hurt you... I'm just going to bash your brains in!"
Well it's comforting to know that Jack would never hurt Wendy… oh wait. We didn't let him finish. He actually wants to use a bat to bash her head in. It's a good thing that Wendy bashes him first.
Quote #6
WENDY: Jack, there's someone else in the hotel with us. There's a crazy woman in one of the rooms. She tried to strangle Danny.
Even though it's practically impossible, Wendy immediately believes her son Danny when he tells her that a crazy woman tried to strangle him. The same thing nearly happens to Jack. But for some reason, Jack lies to Wendy and says he didn't see anything when we went into room 237.
