Stay quietly in bed for the rest of the day, ok?
Do I have to?
Yes, I'd like you to.
We're going into the other room and talk.
I'll come back and check on you, ok?
Ok.
Bye.
Shall we go into the living room?
Yes.
Please.
Thank you.
Mrs. Torrance,
I don't think you have anything to worry about.
I'm quite sure
There's nothing physically wrong with danny.
Yeah?
Oh. Yeah, he seems absolutely fine now,
But you should've seen him.
I know. Kids can scare you to death.
But believe me, these episodes are not uncommon,
And they look much worse than they are.
But what was the matter with him?
Mrs. Torrance, most of the time,
These episodes with kids are never explained.
They're brought on by emotional factors,
And they rarely occur again.
They're more akin to autohypnosis,
A kind of self-induced trance.
If it reoccurs, which I doubt,
We can always think about having some tests done.
No, thank you.
Oh, I'm sure you're right.
Have you been in boulder long, mrs. Torrance?
Only about 3 months. We're from vermont.
My husband was teaching school there.
Did the appearance of danny's imaginary friend...
Tony.
Did tony's first appearance
Happen to coincide with your arrival here?
No. Um, let's see.
I guess danny started talking to tony
