WATSON How do you do? JACK Bill, how do you do? WATSON Pleased to meet you. JACK Pleasure to meet you. ULLMAN Grab a chair Bill, and join in WATSON & JACK sit down. ULLMAN Jack is going to take care of the Overlook for this winter. I would like you to take him around the place as soon as we are through. WATSON Fine. ULLMAN Jack is a schoolteacher. M.C.S. JACK. JACK Eh formerly a school-teacher. WATSON OFF What line of work are you in now? JACK I'm a writer um Teaching has been more or less a way of making ends meet. M.C.S. WATSON. WATSON Well this ought to be quite a change for you. M.C.S. JACK JACK Well, I'm looking for a change. ULLMAN OFF Our people in Denver recommended Jack very highly, and, for once, I agree with them. M.S. ULLMAN . ULLMAN Let's see, where were we? Yes. I was about to explain that eh our season here runs from oh May th to October th and then we close down completely until the following May. M.C.S. JACK JACK Do you mind if I ask why you do that? It seems to me that the skiing up here would be fantastic. ULLMAN OFF Oh, it sure would be M.S. ULLMAN ULLMAN CONT'D but the problem is the enormous cost it would be to keep the road to the Sidewinder open. It's a It's a mile stretch of road gets an average of feet of snow during the winter, and there's just no way to make it economically feasible to keep it clear. When the place was built in, there was very little interest in winter sports, and this site was chosen for its seclusion and scenic beauty. M.L.S. ULLMAN over WATSON & JACK. JACK Well, it's certainly got plenty of that. JACK laughs. ULLMAN That's right. And did they give you any idea in Denver about what the job entails? . JACK Only in a very general way. ULLMAN Well M.S. ULLMAN ULLMAN CONT'D the winters can be fantastically cruel, and the basic idea is toto cope with the very costly damage and depreciation which can occur. And 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 that the elements can't get a foothold. M.C.S. JACK JACK Well, that sounds fine to me. ULLMAN grunts off. M.S. ULLMAN ULLMAN Physically, it's not a very demanding job. The only thing that can get a bit trying up here during the winter is eh the tremendous sense of isolation. M.C.S. JACK JACK Well, that just happens to be exactly what I'm looking for. I'm eh I'm outlining a new writing project, and eh MORE . JACK CONT'D five months of peace is just what I want. M.S. ULLMAN ULLMAN That's very good Jack, because eh for some people eh solitude and isolation M.C.S. JACK. ULLMAN OFF CONT'D can of itself be a problem. JACK Not for me. M.S. ULLMAN. ULLMAN How about your wife and son? How do you think they'll take to it? M.C.S. JACK. JACK They'll love it. ULLMAN OFF Great M.S. ULLMAN ULLMAN Well, before I turn you over to Bill, there is one other thing I think we should talk about. I don't want to sound melodramatic, but it is something that's MORE . ULLMAN CONT'D been known to give a few people second thoughts about the job. M.C.S. JACK JACK I'm intrigued. M.S. ULLMAN. ULLMAN I don't suppose they eh told you anything in Denver about the tragedy we had up here during the winter of ? M.C.S. JACK shakes his head. JACK I don't believe they did. M.S. BILL WATSON. ULLMAN OFF Well, my predecessor in this job M.S. ULLMAN. ULLMAN CONT'D hired a man named Charles Grady, as the winter caretaker. He came up here with his wife and two little girls of about eight or ten. And he had a good employment record, good references and from what I've been told, I mean, 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. MORE . ULLMAN CONT'D He ran amok and eh killed his family with an axe, M.C.S. JACK ULLMAN OFF CONT'D stacked them neatly in one of the rooms in the West Wing, and then he um then he put eh both barrels of his shotgun in his mouth. M.S. ULLMAN sitting behind desk. ULLMAN CONT'D The police eh they thought that it was what the old-timers used to call cabin-fever, a kind of claustrophobic reaction which can occur when people are M.C.S. JACK ULLMAN OFF CONT'D shut in together over long periods of time. JACK Well, that is eh quite a story. M.S. ULLMAN laughs. ULLMAN Yes, it is. Oh, it's still hard for me to believe that it actually happened here, but it did and eh I think you can appreciate why I wanted to tell you about it. M.C.S. JACK JACK Ah, I certainly can, and eh I also understand why your people in Denver left it for you to tell me. JACK laughs. U.S. ULLMAN laughing. ULLMAN Well, obviously some people can be M.C.S. JACK. ULLMAN OFF CONT'D put off by the idea of staying alone in a place where something like that actually happened. JACK Well, you can rest assured Mr. Ullman, that's not going to happen with me, and eg as far as my wife is concerned, I am sure she'll be absolutely fascinated when I tell her about it. She's a confirmed ghost story and horror film addict. BOULDER APARTMENT/BATHROOM DAY M.S. Shooting through open door DANNY standing on stool at basin. DANNY Tony, do you think Daddy will get the job?
