Mrs. Torrance, I don't think you

physically wrong with Danny.
CUT TO:

M.C.S. WENDY.
WENDY
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, he seems
absolutely fine now, but you should
have seen him.
CUT TO:

|
|
M.S. DOCTOR over WENDY. DOCTOR leans back on sofa.
DOCTOR
Oh I know. Kids can scare you to
death, but believe me these episodes
are not at all uncommon, and they
look much worse than they are.
CUT TO:
|
|
|
M.S. WENDY over DOCTOR.
WENDY
But eh what was the matter with him?
DOCTOR
Mrs. Torrance, most of the time
these episodes with kids are never
explained. They are brought on by
emotional factors, and they rarely
occur again.
CUT TO:
|
|
|
M.S. DOCTOR.
DOCTOR
They're more akin to auto-hypnosis,
a kind of self induced trance. If
it re-occurs which I doubt

M.S. WENDY takes cigarette out of packet.
DOCTOR (OFF) (CONT'D)

Have you been in Boulder long, Mrs.
Torrance?
CUT TO:

Only about three months. Eh we're
from Vermont. My husband was
teaching school there.

M.S. DOCTOR
DOCTOR
Did the appearance of Danny's
imaginary friend...?
CUT TO:
|
|
|
M.S. WENDY over DOCTOR.
WENDY
Tony.
DOCTOR
Did Tony's first appearance happen
to coincide with your arrival here?
CUT TO:
|
|
|
M.C.S. WENDY
WENDY
No, um let's see I guess Danny
started talkin to Tony about the
time we put him into nursery school.
CUT TO:
|
|
|
M.S. DOCTOR over WENDY.
DOCTOR
Did he adjust well to school?
CUT TO:
|
|
|
M.C.S. WENDY - she shakes her head.
WENDY
No. He didn't like it too much at
first, and then he had an injury,
so we kept him out for a while,
and, yeah, I...I guess that's about
the time when I first noticed that
he was talking to Tony.
CUT TO:
|
|
|
M.S. DOCTOR over WENDY.
DOCTOR
What sort of injury did he have?
CUT TO:
|
|
|
M.C.S. WENDY
WENDY
Ah he dislocated his shoulder.
WENDY inhales.
DOCTOR (OFF)
How did he manage to do that?
WENDY
Well it's just one of those things.
You know... purely an accident, um.
My husband had oh... been drinking,
and he came home about three hours
late, so he wasn't exactly in the
greatest mood that night. And well
Danny had scattered some of his
school papers all over the room...
and my husband grabbed his arm, you
know, and pulled him away from them.
It's...it's just the sort of thing
you do a hundred times with a
child - you know, in a park or on
the streets - but on this particular
occasion my husband just... used
too much strength and he injured
Danny's arm.
CUT TO:
|
|
|
M.S. DOCTOR
WENDY (OFF) (CONT'D)
Anyway, something good did come out
of it all because he said:
CUT TO:
|
|
|
M.C.S. WENDY
WENDY (CONT'D)
"Wendy, I'm never gonna touch
another drop and if I do you can
leave me", and he didn't and he
hasn't had any alcohol in eh five
months.
