Making 'The Shining' Page #3

I guess that's about when I first

noticed he was talking to Tony.

What sort of injury did he have?

He dislocated his shoulder.

How did he manage to do that?

It was just one of

those things, you know.

Purely an accident.

My husband had been drinking...

...and he came home

about three hours late.

So he wasn't exactly

in the greatest mood that night.

And Danny had scattered some of his

school papers all over the room...

...and my husband grabbed his arm

to pull him away from them.

It's just the sort of thing you do

...you know, in a park

or in the street.

But on this particular occasion...

...my husband just used

too much strength...

...and he injured Danny's arm.

Anyway, something good did come out

of it all because he said...

..."Wendy, I'm never going to

touch another drop.

And if I do, you can leave me."

And he didn't.

He hasn't had any

alcohol in 5 months.

We must really be high up.

The air feels so different.

Dad?

I'm hungry.

You should've eaten your breakfast.

We'll get you something

as soon as we get to the hotel.

Okay, Mom.

Wasn't it around here that

the Donner party got snowbound?

I think that was farther west,

in the Sierras.

What was the Donner party?

They were a party of settlers

in covered wagon times.

They got snowbound one winter

in the mountains.

They had to resort to cannibalism

in order to stay alive.

You mean they ate each other up?

They had to in order to survive.

Jack.

Don't worry, Mom.

I know all about cannibalism.

I saw it on TV.

See, it's okay.

He saw it all on the television.

-What time does the plane leave?

-8:
30.

That gives us plenty of time

to go over everything.

-Goodbye, Mr. Ullman.

-Bye.

Good morning. I hope you

haven't been waiting too long.

No problem. We had time

to grab a bite to eat.

Good. Glad you made it

before they shut down the kitchen.

Is your family

having a look around?

No, my son's

discovered the games room.

-Has your luggage been brought in?

-Right there.

In view of all we have

to cover today...

...l suggest we have a quick look

at your apartment and get started.

Have the Torrances' things

brought to their apartment.

I'd better collect my family first.

This is our Colorado Lounge.

It's beautiful.

My God!

This place is fantastic,

isn't it, hon?

It sure is.

I've never seen anything

like this before.

Are all these

Indian designs authentic?

I believe they're based...

...mainly on Navajo and Apache motifs.

They're really gorgeous.

As a matter of fact...

...this is probably the most

gorgeous hotel I've ever seen.

This old place has had

an illustrious past.

In its heyday, it was a stopping
