Jack: What are you doing down here?
Wendy: I just--wanted to talk to you.
Jack: Ok. Let's talk. What do you want to talk about?
Wendy: I--I can't really remember.
Jack: You can't remember.
Wendy: No. I can't.
Jack: maybe it was about Danny? Maybe it was about him. I think we should discuss Danny. I think we should discuss what should be done with him. What should be done with him?
Wendy: I don't know.
Jack: I don't think that's true. I think you have some very definite ideas about what should be done with Danny, and I'd like to know what they are.
Wendy: Well--I think maybe he should be taken to a doctor.
Jack: You think maybe he should be taken to a doctor.
Wendy: Yes.
Jack: When do you think maybe he should be taken to a doctor?
Wendy: As soon as possible.
Jack (mocking Wendy): As soon as possible.
Wendy: Jack. Please.
Jack: You believe his health might be at stake.
Wendy: Y-yes.
Jack: And you are concerned about him.
Wendy: Yes.
Jack: And are you concerned about me?
Wendy: Of course I am.
Jack: Of course you are. Have you ever thought about my responsibilities?
Wendy: Oh Jack, what are you talking about?
Jack: Have you ever had a single moment's thought about my responsibilities? Have you ever thought for a single solitary moment about my responsibilities to my employers? Has it occurred to you that I've agreed to look after The Overlook Hotel until may 1? Does it matter to you at all that the owners have placed their complete trust in me, and I've signed a letter of agreement, a contract, in which I have accepted that responsibility? Do you have the slightest idea what a moral and ethical principle is? Do you? Has it ever occurred to you what would happen to my future if I failed to live up to my responsibilities? Has it ever occurred to you? Has it?!
Wendy: Stay away from me.

Jack catches Wendy going through his papers and gets very volatile. Wendy tries to talk to Jack about Danny and his well being. Jacks starts going off the wall and begins ranting about himself and corners Wendy on the stairs. Wendy has a bat and tells Jack to stay away.
