Grady Daughter, Grady Daughter: Hello, Danny. Come and play with us. Come and play with us, Danny. Forever… and ever… and ever.
Jack Torrance: Well, that is quite a story.
Stuart Ullman: Yeah it is. It’s still hard for me to believe it happened here. It did, and I think you can appreciate why I wanted to tell you about it.
Jack Torrance: I certainly can and I also understand why your people in Denver left it for you to tell me.
Stuart Ullman: Well obviously some people can be put off by staying alone in a place where something like that actually happened.
Jack Torrance: Well you can rest assured, Mr. Ullman, that’s not going to happen with me. And as far as my wife is concerned, I’m sure she’ll be absolutely fascinated when l tell her. She’s a confirmed ghost story and horror film addict.
