Dan Torrance
[edit]- Our beliefs don't make us better people. Our actions make us better people.
- We're all dying. The world's just one big hospice with fresh air.
- Nothing to be scared of. Just going to sleep. Finally, true, restful sleep.
- Horace Derwent was the last one, confetti on his suit. He said "Great party, isn't it?" Shit-eating grin on his face 'til I pulled out a box for him. That grin went fast.
- We never wanted to see snow again, so we lived in Florida. Tiny place, but it was comfortable and we were happy. I mean, we were grieving. We were traumatized. But there was happiness, too. And she-- She would look away. She'd look at me, but she'd always look away after a second or two. Took me a while to notice it, but after the overlook, she wouldn't look me in the eyes. Not for long. I couldn't figure it out. It was you. She saw your eyes in me and she'd have to look away. It tortured her to have to do that, so I fixed it. I fixed it for her and it was the last time I ever used it. So that she wouldn't see you anymore when she looked at me. I was 20 when she died. And back then, I saw when someone was gonna die. I saw flies. Black flies. "Death flies," I called them, circling people's faces. And in those last weeks, she was covered... Her whole face. I could barely see her eyes. And I... I tried to comfort her, but I could hardly look at her. And she saw that. She just lay there dying, with her son who couldn't look at her.
- I have to close the door behind us, right?
- Shine on, Abra Stone. You shine on.
Abra Stone
[edit]- [Dan speaking through her] Well, it's just arrogance. It's arrogance, really. But, makes sense if you think you're gonna live forever. Stands to reason... of course you wouldn't wear your seatbelt.
- We go on, after. We go on.
Rose the Hat
[edit]- [repeated line] Well, hi there.
- [After killing Bradley Trevor] Damn, I thought he had another few minutes in him.
- Think of a cow. You butcher one, that gives you meat for a month. Keep it alive... Gives you milk for years.
- [eulogizing Grandpa Flick] You watched empires rise and fall. Cheered the Gladiators in Rome. Sailed across oceans to new worlds. You fed on kings and princes and popes... They wrote myths of you and made statues, and they trembled in their villages and beds and skyscrapers. So, no. You're not scared. You're a king. And you eat fear.
- How the hell did we miss you? You and I should've met years ago. Danny? That's your name, isn't it? Well, something happens to the Steam when you rubes get older. It gets polluted. Dirty. You know that. I see the grease all over you. You don't Shine quite the same. Growing up spoils that, I guess. Seriously, Handsome... where have you been hiding?
- [to Dan, while taking his Steam] You taste like whiskey.
Dick Hallorann
[edit]- World's a hungry place. And the darkest things are the hungriest and they'll eat what shines. Swarm it like mosquitoes or leeches. Can't do nothing about that. What you can do is turn what they come for against them.
- Let's get you back to mama. Wendy'll worry. And she shouldn't have to worry another day in her life. That woman's paid her debt.
- You can put things from the Overlook away in boxes, but not memories. They are the real ghosts. You take them with you.
Others
[edit]- Crow Daddy: Always tickles me, watching you rubes threaten a god.
- Lloyd / Jack Torrance: Ain't that the way? Man just living his life, trying to do his work. He gets put upon. Pulled into other people's problems. I see it all the time, if you don't mind my saying.
- The Grady Twins: Hello, Danny. Come and play with us. Forever. And ever. And ever.
Dialogue
[edit]- Charlie: I'm not scared of hell, Doc. I-- I lived a decent life. Don't think there is such a place, anyway. I guess I'm scared... That there's nothing. There was nothing before, so what if there's nothing after?
- Dan Torrance: We don't end, Charlie. I know that for certain. I don't know much else, but I know that we don't end.
- Dick Hallorann: Hey, it never occurred to me to ask you back then: What happens to them in those boxes? Do they die in there?
- Dick Hallorann: Do you care?
- Dan Torrance: I missed you.
- Dick Hallorann: Has it been a long time? Can't tell. This world is a dream of a dream to me now.
- Dan Torrance: Eight years. A little more.
- Dick Hallorann: Last time I saw you, you was at the bottom. You look better now.
- Dan Torrance: Why are you here?
- Dick Hallorann: I'm here because it all comes 'round. Ka is a wheel, Doc. You listen, son. It hurts to be here, so I'll only say it once. These empty devils ever found you when you was a tyke? If they had even sniffed you? You'd be long dead. They're on the land like a cancer on the skin. Once they rode camels in the desert, once they drove caravans across Eastern Europe. They eat screams and drink pain. And they've noticed that little girl. They might kill her. Might turn her. Or might keep her 'til she's all used up and that'd be worst of all. You can't let 'em.
- Dan Torrance: Why me?
- Dick Hallorann: Because she found you! Because she showed up! Hell, Doc, why me? You just walked on into my kitchen one day, I'm still on the hook!
- Dan Torrance: What the hell am I supposed to do?
- Dick Hallorann: Get her what she asked for. You won't see me again, Doc. This is my last dream. It seems to me you grew up fine, son. But you still owe a debt. Pay it.
- Snakebite Andi: I thought we lived forever.
- Rose the Hat: Did someone promise you that, Andi? Did someone say you were immortal? I said "live long, eat well". We can live long, very long. And we do, most of us. But we haven't been eating well. Not for a long time.
- Dan Torrance: Man takes a drink. The drink takes a drink. And then the drink takes the man. Ain't it so, Dad?
- Lloyd / Jack: Medicine. Medicine is what it is. Bonafide cure-all. Depression, stress, remorse, failure, it wipes it all away. The mind is a blackboard. And this is the eraser. A man tries. He provides. But he's surround by mouths that eat and scream and cry and nag. So he asks for one thing, just one thing for him. To warm him up. To take the sting out of those mouths eating and eating and eating everything he makes, everything he has. And that family. A wife. A kid. Those mouths eat time. They eat your days on Earth. They just gobble them up. It's enough to make a man sick. And this is the medicine. So tell me, pup... are you gonna take your medicine?
- Dan Torrance: I'm not!
- Dan Torrance: You must be lonely. Being the last one, I mean the last one in the world.
- Rose the Hat: Oh, sweetie, I'm not the last, far from it. I'm just the prettiest.
- Rose the Hat: [referring to the boxes in Dan's mind] What's in those? Something special, huh?
- Dan Torrance: They're not special. They're starving!
