Hi. I've got an appointment
with Mr. Ullman.
My name is Jack Torrance.
His office is the first door
on the left.
Thank you.
Mr. Ullman?
I'm Jack Torrance.
Come on in, Jack.
-Very nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.
This is my secretary, Susie.
-Susie, how do you do?
-Any trouble finding us?
No problem at all.
I made the trip in 3 1/2 hours.
That's very good time.
Sit down a minute, Jack.
Just make yourself at home.
Like some coffee?
If you're having some,
I wouldn't mind. Thanks.
-Susie.
-Sure.
And ask Bill Watson to join us.
Yes, I will.
Mom?
Yeah?
Do you really want to go and live
in that hotel for the winter?
Sure I do.
It'll be lots of fun.
Yeah. I guess so.
Anyway, there's hardly anybody
to play with around here.
I know. It always takes
a little time to make new friends.
Yeah, I guess so.
What about Tony?
He's looking forward
to the hotel, I bet.
No, I ain't, Mrs. Torrance.
Now, come on, Tony.
Don't be silly.
I don't want to go there.
How come you don't want to go?
I just don't.
Did they give you
any idea in Denver...
...about what the job entails?
Only in a very general way.
The winters can be
fantastically cruel.
The basic idea is to cope
with the very costly damage...
...and depreciation
which can occur.
This consists mainly
of running the boiler...
...heating different parts of the
hotel on a daily rotating basis...
...repairing damage as it occurs...
...and doing repairs so the
elements can't get a foothold.
That sounds fine to me.
Physically, it's not
a very demanding job.
The only thing that can get a bit
trying here during the winter...
...is a tremendous sense
of isolation.
