First of all I want to clarify that the dialogues will not be the same as in the movie, why? Well, because I wrote the original story based on the dialogues of the film in Latin Spanish, in addition to the fact that I did not transcribe them, I reimagined many so that they fit with my ideas, so in summary, the dialogues will not be the same and there will most likely be errors of translation.


He is just what we were looking for.

Wendy was standing in front of the doctor who asked - have you been in Boulder long? - to which she responded - only for 3 months, we are from Vermont, my husband was a teacher there -

The doctor then asks interested -and the appearance of Danny's imaginary friend...?- To which Wendy clarifies -Tony- the doctor correcting herself says-...Tony, by any chance did her arrival coincide with the move here?-

Wendy shakes her head and answers nervously -no, I think... I think that was already happening before he was with us- the doctor looks at her strangely and Wendy with a nervous laugh explains -we are his surrogate parents... in fact he's only been there for 5 months. with us, he was actually from Indiana-

The doctor comments -Indiana, Vermont, Colorado and now about the hotel that he told me... a lot of changes for such a small child- Wendy takes another drag on her cigarette and responds -yes, well... I think putting some distance was necessary after the shoulder thing-

The doctor then asks - and what happened to him? - Wendy answers - I don't know all the details, but from what I heard, his father had gone to the canteen and came home very late, and apparently Danny or well, Will which is his birth name-

After another questioning look, Wendy responded - we started calling him that after Dennis the Menace and apparently he liked it, so we kept calling him that - then she took another drag and continued - well, apparently she had shuffled some papers from her father's work. and he pulled his arm away, and dislocated it-

The doctor then asked -and that's why they took custody of him?- Wendy responds somewhat embarrassed -it was more than that, when her mother saw him they started fighting, from what I understood things escalated until the older brother called police-

She then asked -and how are you adapting to the new member?- Wendy smiles genuinely at it and responds -hoo, that's fantastic, we've wanted a child for so long and he is just what we were looking for-

The doctor asks -How?- Wendy responds still happily -he is so happy, sweet and very intelligent, since Jack has been here he has started writing again, stories for him, they spend hours in the living room drawing and inventing stories, it is as if he He would have brought new life to our house... as if the missing piece was finally here, even Jack stopped drinking since he was here, in those 5 months not a drop, he even went to a couple of meetings, but he said that I didn't need them-

After a moment of silence she timidly comments -Jack and I have already decided, if everything turns out as well this winter as we hope... we are going to apply for adoption-

The doctor asked - and do you think the biological mother will agree? - Wendy responds with a sigh - haa, that poor woman... I would have seen her in court, she almost knelt before the judge begging him not to take her children away... He gave him a year to get a job and fix the house and for the father to be rehabilitated, I don't think they will get it, they look a little "unbalanced" if you ask me-

She finally asks - and why the sudden change of career and place? - Wendy, somewhat surprised by the change in the conversation, responds - hoo, it was... one of those things - seeing that the doctor's gaze did not change Wendy responded - At school, a certain incident occurred, Jack was the instructor of the debate team, and there was a certain boy, George, Jack kicked him off the team and he was angry, so he punctured the tires of our car, Jack found out right before scratched him, and... he reacted badly-

I think I should clarify that this will not be a "watching", how lazy, it will only be certain scenes "reinterpreted" in a way that I think fits well.

I seriously think that the shoulder incident should be moved from the Torrances to the Byers, that would give a lot of coherence to the government taking them away, but at the same time it is essential to talk about Jack's poorly treated alcoholism and his attacks of anger .

One thing that I think Kubrick was missing is that Jack and Danny had a very good relationship and were very close, I think this could be reflected well with Will since he has similar interests, Jack was the father that Lonnie would never be and Will would be. the son Jack always wanted.

Small poll, how do you think Joyce would react when seeing this scene? I can almost hear her teeth grinding, hahaha.
