How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from The Shining.
Quote #1
JACK: Hi Lloyd. A little slow tonight, isn't it?
When Jack first starts talking to the camera, we might think that he's just talking to himself. The isolation is clearly getting to him and he is starting to go out of his mind. But little do we know that there is actually another person in the room… or is there?
Quote #2
GRADY: Grady, sir. Delbert Grady.
We're not sure who the man dressed as a butler is at first, but when he says his name is Delbert Grady, it should set off some serious alarm bells. This is the same name of the former character at the Overlook who murdered his family and then himself.
Quote #3
JACK: Mr. Grady, you were the caretaker here. I recognize you. I saw your picture in the newspapers. You chopped your wife and daughters up into little bits, and and you blew your brains out.
Jack doesn't know what's going on at first because he's pretty sure the guy he's talking to is a dead man. If the guy is the real Delbert Grady, then he's been dead for about ten years. Jack recognizes him from the newspapers he's read about the massacre at the Overlook back in 1970.
