"Hallo. My name's Dick Halloran. I can remember when I was a little boy, my grandmother and I could hold conversations entirely without ever opening our mouths. She called it shining, and for a long time I thought it was just the two of us that had the shine to us. But there are other folks, though mostly they don't know it, or don't believe it. I'm the Head Chef up at the Overlook Hotel. I aint scared of nothing here. It's just that you know some places are like people, some shine and some don't. I guess you could say the Overlook Hotel here has something about it that's like shining."
