:04:08
Mom?
:04:10
Yeah?
:04:12
Do you really want to go and live
in that hotel for the winter?
:04:16
Sure I do.
:04:17
It'll be lots of fun.
:04:21
Yeah. I guess so.
:04:23
Anyway, there's hardly anybody
to play with around here.
:04:28
I know. It always takes
a little time to make new friends.
:04:33
Yeah, I guess so.
:04:36
What about Tony?
:04:37
He's looking forward
to the hotel, I bet.
:04:40
No, I ain't, Mrs. Torrance.
:04:42
Now, come on, Tony.
Don't be silly.
:04:45
I don't want to go there.
:04:47
How come you don't want to go?
:04:49
I just don't.
:04:52
Did they give you
any idea in Denver...
:04:55
...about what the job entails?
:04:56
Only in a very general way.
:05:01
The winters can be
fantastically cruel.
:05:03
The basic idea is to cope
with the very costly damage...
:05:07
...and depreciation
which can occur.
:05:09
This consists mainly
of running the boiler...
:05:11
...heating different parts of the
hotel on a daily rotating basis...
:05:15
...repairing damage as it occurs...
:05:18
...and doing repairs so the
elements can't get a foothold.
:05:22
That sounds fine to me.
:05:24
Physically, it's not
a very demanding job.
:05:27
The only thing that can get a bit
trying here during the winter...
:05:31
...is a tremendous sense
of isolation.
:05:34
That just happens to be
exactly what I'm looking for.
:05:39
I'm outlining a new
writing project.
:05:42
Five months of peace
is just what I want.
:05:46
That's very good, Jack.
:05:48
Because, for some people...
:05:52
...solitude...
:05:53
...and isolation...
:05:56
...can, of itself, become a problem.
:05:59
Not for me.
