Misery

Annie Wilkes:
What's the ceiling that dago painted?

Paul Sheldon:
The Sistine Chapel?

Annie Wilkes:
It's the swearing, Paul. It has no nobility.

Paul Sheldon:
These are slum kids, I was a slum kid. Everybody talks like that.

Annie Wilkes:
THEY DO NOT! At the feedstore do I say, "Oh, now Wally, give me a bag of that F-in' pig feed, and a pound of that bitchly cow corn"? At the bank do I say, "Oh, Mrs. Malenger, here is one big bastard of a check, now give me some of your Christ-ing money!" THERE, LOOK THERE, NOW SEE WHAT YOU MADE ME DO!

Paul Sheldon:
You know I never tasted meatloaf quite like this, what's your secret?

Annie Wilkes:
My secret is I always use fresh tomatoes, never canned, and to give it that extra zip I mix a little spam with the ground beef!

Paul Sheldon:
Can't get this in a restaurant in New York.

Annie Wilkes:
Oh no.

Annie Wilkes:
Anything else I can get for you while I am in town? How about a tiny tape recorder, or how about a homemade pair of writing slippers?

Paul Sheldon:
Annie, what's the matter?

Annie Wilkes:
What's the matter? WHAT'S THE MATTER? I will tell you "what's the matter!" I go out of my way for you! I do everything to try and make you happy. I feed you, I clean you, I dress you, and what thanks do I get? "Oh, you bought the wrong paper, Anne, I can't write on this paper, Anne!" Well, I'll get your stupid paper but you just better start showing me a little appreciation around here, Mr. MAN!

Annie Wilkes:
God came to me last night and told me your purpose for being here. I am going to help you write a new book.

Paul Sheldon:
You think I can just wip one out?

Annie Wilkes:
Oh but I don't think Paul, I know.

Annie Wilkes:
I am your number one fan. There is nothing to worry about. You are going to be just fine. I am your number one fan.

Annie Wilkes:
YOU! YOU DIRTY BIRD, HOW COULD YOU!

Paul Sheldon:
What?

Annie Wilkes:
She can't be dead, MISERY CHASTAIN CANNOT BE DEAD!

Paul Sheldon:
Annie, sometimes during childbirth, women don't survive. But Miseries SPIRIT is still alive, we shouldn't forget that.

Annie Wilkes:
I DON'T WANT HER SPIRIT! I WANT HER, AND YOU MURDERED HER!

Paul Sheldon:
No I didn't.

Annie Wilkes:
WHO DID?

Paul Sheldon:
She just died, slipped away!

Annie Wilkes:
SLIPPED AWAY! NO, YOU MURDERED MY MISERY!

Annie Wilkes:
MISERY IS ALIVE, MISERY IS ALIVE! OH, This whole house is going to be full of romance, OOOH, I AM GOING TO PUT ON MY LIBERACE RECORDS!

Annie Wilkes:
Oh forgive me Paul for prattling away and making everything all oogy.

Annie Wilkes:
Now the time has come. I put two bullets in my gun. One for me, and one for you. Oh darling, it will be so beautiful.

Paul Sheldon:
Eat it till ya choke, you sick, twisted f***!

Annie Wilkes:
He didn't get out of the COCKADOODIE CAR!

Annie Wilkes:
You'll never know the fear of losing someone like you when you're someone like me.

Annie Wilkes:
I thought you were good Paul... but you're not good. You're just another lying ol' dirty birdy.

Annie Wilkes:
Now that's an oogie mess.

Annie:
The swearing, Paul. There, I said it.

Paul:
The, uh, profanity bothers you?

Annie:
It has no nobility.

Paul:
These are slum kids, I was a slum kid. Everybody talks like that.

Annie:
THEY DO NOT! What do you think I say when I go to the feedstore in town, "Oh, now Wally, give me a bag of that F-in' pig feed, and ten pounds of that bitchly cow corn"? And at the bank, do I tell Mrs. Bollinger, "Oh, here's one big bastard of a check, give me some of your Christ-ing money?" [spills soup on Paul's bed] THERE, LOOK THERE, SEE WHAT YOU MADE ME DO! I'm sorry.

Annie Wilkes:
You- You dirty bird, how could you?

Paul Sheldon:
What?

Annie Wilkes:
She can't be dead! Misery Chastain cannot be dead!

Paul Sheldon:
Annie, in 1871, women often died during childbirth. But her spirit is the important thing, and Misery's spirit is still alive.

Annie Wilkes:
[shaking Paul's bed violently] I DON'T WANT HER SPIRIT! I WANT HER! AND YOU MURDERED HER!

Paul Sheldon:
No... I didn't.

Annie Wilkes:
WHO DID?!

Paul Sheldon:
No one, she... she died. She just slipped away.

Annie Wilkes:
SLIPPED AWAY?! SLIPPED AWAY?! SHE DIDN'T JUST SLIP AWAY! YOU DID IT! YOU DID IT! YOU DID IT! [breaks the glass] YOU MURDERED MY MISERY! [hits the wall with something] I thought you were good, Paul, but you're not good, you're just a lying ol' dirty birdy.

Annie:
Here's your pills.

Paul:
Annie? Annie, what is it?

Annie:
The rain. Sometimes it gives me the blues. When you first came here, I only loved the writer part of Paul Sheldon. Now I know I love the rest of him, too. I know you don't love me, don't say you do. You're beautiful, brilliant, a famous man of the world and I'm... not a movie star type. You'll never know the fear of losing someone like you if you're someone like me.

Paul:
Why would you lose me?

Annie Wilkes:
Book's almost finished, your legs are getting better. Soon you'll be wanting to leave.

Paul:
Why would I leave? I like it here.

Annie:
That's very kind of you, but I'll bet it's not all together true. [pulls out a gun] I have this gun. [pulls the trigger] Sometimes I think about using it. [looks at Paul] I'd better go now. I might put bullets in it.

Paul Sheldon:
Annie, what's the matter?

Annie Wilkes:
I thought you were good Paul... but you're not good. You're just another lying ol' dirty birdy. And I don't think I better be around you for a while. And don't even think about anybody coming for you. Not the doctors, not your agent, not your family. 'Cause I never called them. Nobody knows you're here and you better hope nothing happens to me, because if I die... you die.

Annie Wilkes:
I know that, Mr. Man! They also called them serials. I'm not stupid ya know... Anyway, my favourite was Rocketman, and once it was a no breaks chapter. The bad guy stuck him in a car on a mountain road and knocked him out and welded the door shut and tore out the brakes and started him to his death, and he woke up and tried to steer and tried to get out but the car went off a cliff before he could escape! And it crashed and burned and I was so upset and excited, and the next week, you better believe I was first in line. And they always start with the end of the last week. And there was Rocketman, trying to get out, and here comes the cliff, and just before the car went off the cliff, he jumped free! And all the kids cheered! But I didn't cheer. I stood right up and started shouting. This isn't what happened last week! Have you all got amnesia? They just cheated us! This isn't fair! HE DIDN'T GET OUT OF THE COCK-A-DOODIE CAR!

Annie Wilkes:
The operation was called "hobbling"

Annie Wilkes:
I'M GONNA KILL YOU, YOU LYING COCKSUCKER!!
