Wendy, let me explain something to you. Whenever you come in here and interrupt me, you're breaking my concentration. You're distracting me. And it will then take me time to get back to where I was. You understand? (As he is ripping up his page)

Great movie!

The entire scene plays out as follows:

Jack Torrance: Wendy, let me explain something to you. Whenever you come in here and interrupt me, you're breaking my concentration. You're distracting me. And it will then take me time to get back to where I was. You understand?

Wendy Torrance: Yeah.

Jack Torrance: Now, we're going to make a new rule. When you come in here and you hear me typing

[Jack types]

Jack Torrance: or whether you *don't* hear me typing, or whatever the *f##k* you hear me doing; when I'm in here, it means that I am working, *that* means don't come in. Now, do you think you can handle that?

Wendy Torrance: Yeah.

Jack Torrance: Good. Now why don't you start right now and get the f##k out of here? Hm?
