How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from The Shining.
Quote #1
DANNY: Yeah, I guess so. Anyway, there's hardly anybody to play with around here.
Danny is an isolated kid, although we're not totally sure why. Maybe it's because he has superpowers, or maybe it's because he spends his time chatting with his invisible friend Tony. Either way, the kid doesn't have many friends and there's no one to talk to about all the weird visions he keeps seeing.
Quote #2
WENDY: What about Tony? He's looking forward to the hotel, I bet.
Whenever she has trouble communicating with her son, Wendy likes to ask Danny's "friend" Tony what he thinks of things. But in this case, Tony can see that horrible things will happen at the Overlook and he doesn't want the family to go there.
Quote #3
DANNY: Tony, do you think Daddy will get the job?
TONY: Yeah, he did. He's going to phone Wendy up in a few minutes to tell her.
Tony seems to have a weird knowledge about what'll happen in the future. Of course, Danny could just be talking to himself and guessing all of this. But the coincidences pile up a little too much for belief as the movie goes on.
