Quotes from Barry Nelson's Characters

View All
    1. Ullman: I don't suppose they told you anything in Denver about the tragedy we had in the winter of nineteen seventy.
    2. Jack Torrance: I don't believe they did.
    3. Ullman: My predecessor in this job left a man named Charles Grady as the winter caretaker. And he came up here with his wife and two little girls, I think were eight and ten. And he had a good employment record, good references, and from what I've been told he seemed like a completely normal individual. But at some point during the winter, he must have suffered some kind of a complete mental breakdown. He ran amuck and killed his family with an axe; stacked them neatly in one of the rooms in the West wing and then he, he put both barrels of a shot gun in his mouth.
    4. Jack Torrance: Well, that is quite a story.
    5. 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.
    6. Jack Torrance: I certainly can and I also understand why your people in Denver left it for you to tell me.
    7. Ullman: Well obviously some people can be put off by staying alone in a place where something like that actually happened.
    8. 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 I tell her. She's a confirmed ghost story, and horror film addict.
