LLoyd :
If you don't mind my saying,
Mr. Torrance, you seem...
put upon.
Danny, Champion
of The World :
Put upon?
LLoyd :
Ain't that the way.
Man just living his life,
trying to do his work.
He gets put upon.
Pulled into other
people's problems.
I see it all the time, if you
don't mind my saying.
Danny, Champion
of The World :
So we lived
in Florida.
LLoyd :
I'm sorry?
Danny, Champion
of The World :
Mom and I.
LLoyd :
I'm afraid I don't know
who you mean….
Danny, Champion
of The World :
We never wanted to see snow
again, so we lived in Florida.
Tiny place, but it
was comfortable,
and we were happy.
I mean, we were grieving.
We were traumatised, but
there was happiness too.
She... She would look away.
She'd look at me, but she'd always
look away after a second or two.
It took me a while
to notice it.
But after The Overlook, she wouldn't
look me in the eyes, not for long.
Couldn't figure it out.
But it...
It was you.
She saw your eyes in Me, and
she'd have to look away.
It tortured her to
have to do that.
So, I fixed it.
I fixed it for her, and it was
the last time I ever used it.
So that she wouldn't see you
anymore when she looked at me.
I was 20 when she died.
And back then, I saw when
someone was gonna die.
I saw flies.
Black flies.
"Death flies," I called them,
circling people's faces.
And in those last weeks,
she was covered...
Her whole face.
I could barely see her eyes.
And I... I tried to comfort her,
but I could hardly look at her.
And she saw that.
She just lay there dying, with
her son who couldn't look at her.
LLoyd :
Maybe something warm to
push-away such unpleasantries.
Danny, Champion
of The World :
Don't you wanna hear
about it? She was your wife.
LLoyd :
I think you've mistaken
me for someone else.
I'm just A Bartender.
Danny, Champion
of The World :
Oh, yeah? Just Lloyd, The Bartender,
pouring joy at The Overlook Hotel.
LLoyd :
I'll pour whatever
you like, Mr. Torrance.
