This crazy novel used a fire axe to split a huge gap in the bathroom door, and penetrated into a sweaty face, smiling with his mouth and raised eyebrows. "Johnny is here!" (Here's Johnny!) His wife and son have collapsed in the corner of fright, and Jack Nicholson’s face has also been fixed in the retinas of all the audience, as if his face has been since then. The upper muscles can only make this expression. Of course, this sentence full of black humor was also a sudden inspiration for Nicholson.

The Shining quotes

  • Jack Torrance: [disappointed at finding the bar empty] God, I'd give anything for a drink. I'd give my goddamned soul for just a glass of beer.

  • Delbert Grady: Did you know, Mr. Torrance, that your son is attempting to bring an outside party into this situation? Did you know that?

    Jack Torrance: No.

    Delbert Grady: He is, Mr. Torrance.

    Jack Torrance: Who?

    Delbert Grady: A nigger.

    Jack Torrance: A nigger?

    Delbert Grady: A nigger cook.

    Jack Torrance: How?

    Delbert Grady: Your son has a very great talent. I don't think you are aware how great it is. That he is attempting to use that very talent against your will.

    Jack Torrance: He is a very willful boy.

    Delbert Grady: Indeed he is, Mr. Torrance. A very willful boy. A rather naughty boy, if I may be so bold, sir.

    Jack Torrance: It's his mother. She, uh, interferes.

    Delbert Grady: Perhaps they need a good talking to, if you don't mind my saying so. Perhaps a bit more. My girls, sir, they didn't care for the Overlook at first. One of them actually stole a pack of matches, and tried to burn it down. But I "corrected" them sir. And when my wife tried to prevent me from doing my duty, I "corrected" her.
