The Shining1980
Jack:
What do they call you around here, Jeevesy?
Grady:
Grady, sir. Delbert Grady.
Jack:
Grady?
Grady:
Yes, sir.
Jack:
Delbert Grady.
Grady:
That's right, sir.
Jack:
Eh, Mr. Grady... haven't I seen you somewhere before?
Grady:
Why no, sir. I don't believe so. [continues cleaning Jack's coat] Ah ha, it's coming off now, sir.
Jack:
Eh... Mr. Grady... weren't you once the caretaker here?
Grady:
Why no, sir. I don't believe so.
Jack:
You, er, a married man, are you, Mr. Grady?
Grady:
Yes, sir. I have a wife and, uh two daughters, sir.
Jack:
And, er... where are they now?
Grady:
Oh, they're somewhere around. I'm not quite sure at the moment, sir.
Jack:
[takes Grady's cloth and wipes his hand with it] Mr. Grady, you were the caretaker here. I recognize you. I saw your picture in the newspapers. You, uh … chopped your wife and daughters up into little bits. And … then you blew your brains out.
Grady:
That's strange, sir. I don't have any recollection of that at all.
Jack:
Mr. Grady, you were the caretaker here.
Grady:
I'm sorry to differ with you, sir, but you are the caretaker. You've always been the caretaker. I should know, sir. I've always been here.
[Jack chuckles]
Grady:
Did you know, Mr. Torrance, that your son is attempting to bring an outside party into this situation? Did you know that?
Jack:
No.
Grady:
He is, Mr. Torrance.
Jack:
Who?
Grady:
A n*gger.
Jack:
A n*gger?
Grady:
A n*gger … cook.
Jack:
How?
Grady:
Your son has a very great talent. I don't think you are aware how great it is, but he is attempting to use that very talent against your will.
Jack:
He is a very willful boy.
Grady:
Indeed he is, Mr. Torrance. A very willful boy. A rather … naughty boy, if I may be so bold, sir.
Jack:
It's his mother. She, uh … interferes.
Grady:
Perhaps … they need a good talking to, if you don't mind my saying so. Perhaps … a bit more. My girls, sir, they didn't care for the Overlook at first. One of them actually stole a pack of matches and tried to burn it down. But I … corrected them, sir. And when my wife tried to prevent me from doing my duty, I … corrected her.
