INT. HOTEL - GREEN CORRIDOR - DAY - M.S.
ULLMAN, JACK & WENDY - followed by WATSON - move forward.
CAMERA TRACKS BACK before them.
WENDY
It's amazing how much activity is
going on today.
ULLMAN
Yes, well the guests and some of
the staff left yesterday, but the
last day is always very hectic -
everybody wants to be on their way
as early as possible.
They turn corner and walk away along corridor.
ULLMAN
By five o'clock tonight, you'll
never know anybody was ever here.
WENDY
Just like a ghost ship, huh?
ULLMAN
Yes.

HALLORAN
I can remember when I was a little
boy, my grandmother and I could
hold conversations entirely without
ever opening our mouths. She
called it shining,

was just the two of us that had the
shine to us.

Just like you probably thought you
was the only one. But there are
other folks, though mostly they
don't know it, or don't believe it.

Mr. Halloran, are you scared of
this place?
CUT TO:

|
 |
M.S. Shooting across table onto HALLORAN & DANNY.
HALLORAN
No, I'm scared of nothing here.
It's just that you know some places
are like people, some shine and
some don't. I guess you could say
the Overlook Hotel here has
something about it that's like
shining. |
|
DANNY
Is there something bad here?
CUT TO:
|

   |
M.C.S. HALLORAN.
HALLORAN
Well, you know Doc, when something
happens it can leave a trace of
itself behind... say like is
someone burns toast.
CUT TO:
|
|
 |
M.C.S. DANNY
HALLORAN (OFF)
Well, maybe things that happened...
leave other kinds of traces behind.
CUT TO:
|
|
   |
M.C.S. HALLORAN
HALLORAN
Not things that anyone can notice,
but things that people who shine
can see. Just like they can see
things that haven't happened yet.
Well, sometimes they can see things
that happened a long time ago... I
think a lot of things happened
right here in this particular
hotel - over the years, and not all
of them was good.

CUT TO:

Nothing. There ain't nothing in

business going in there anyway, so
stay out! You understand, stay out!
