World's a hungry place. And the darkest things are the hungriest and they'll eat what shines. Swarm it like mosquitoes or leeches. Can't do nothing about that. What you can do is turn what they come for against them.

Dick Hallorann

Let's get you back to mama. Wendy'll worry. And she shouldn't have to worry another day in her life. That woman's paid her debt.

Dick Hallorann

You can put things from the Overlook away in boxes, but not memories. They are the real ghosts. You take them with you.

Dick Hallorann

Hey, it never occurred to me to ask you back then: What happens to them in those boxes? Do they die in there?

Dick Hallorann

Do you care?

I missed you.

Dick Hallorann

Has it been a long time? Can't tell. This world is a dream of a dream to me now.

Eight years. A little more.

Dick Hallorann

Last time I saw you, you was at the bottom. You look better now.

Why are you here?

Dick Hallorann

I'm here because it all comes 'round. Ka is a wheel, Doc. You listen, son. It hurts to be here, so I'll only say it once. These empty devils ever found you when you was a tyke? If they had even sniffed you? You'd be long dead. They're on the land like a cancer on the skin. Once they rode camels in the desert, once they drove caravans across Eastern Europe. They eat screams and drink pain. And they've noticed that little girl. They might kill her. Might turn her. Or might keep her 'til she's all used up and that'd be worst of all. You can't let 'em.

Why me?

Dick Hallorann

Because she found you! Because she showed up! Hell, Doc, why me? You just walked on into my kitchen one day, I'm still on the hook!

What the hell am I supposed to do?

Dick Hallorann

Get her what she asked for. You won't see me again, Doc. This is my last dream. It seems to me you grew up fine, son. But you still owe a debt. Pay it.
