Favorite Line(s)


What is/are you favorite line(s) from The Shining?

My favorite is...

"I'm not gonna hurt ya. Wendy, darling, light of my life! I'm not gonna hurt you. You didn't let me finish my sentence. I said, I'm not gonna hurt ya. I'm just gonna bash your brains in. I'm gonna bash 'em right the fuck in!"

Jack's delivery was masterful LOL

"Larry, just between you and me, we got a very serious problem with the people taking care of the place. They turned out to be completely unreliable assholes."

I like how when they censor this line for television, they take out the word assholes, and the line still rolls out smoothly like there was no cut at all. 😊

Having just finished the novel I Laughed out loud that he said that in the film. he REPEATS himself over and over that the boy was in trouble in the book and no one listens. he discredits jack once and the guy's like "yeah, makes sense, here's a snow truck. "

When he's taking out the apartment door with an axe, He non nonchalantly says "Wendy, I'm home." Before unlocking the door and letting himself in. I almost hit the floor laughing with that one.

You set them up and I'll knock them back, one by one... White man's burden, Lloyd, my man. White man's burden.

Not exactly sure what he means about the burden. Maybe dealing with the family life.
