Annie Wilkes: What's the ceiling that dago painted? Paul Sheldon: The Sistine Chapel? Annie Wilkes: It's the swearing, Paul. It has no nobility. Paul Sheldon: These are slum kids, I was a slum kid. Everybody talks like that. Annie Wilkes: THEY DO NOT! At the feedstore do I say, "Oh, now Wally, give me a bag of that F-in' pig feed, and a pound of that bitchly cow corn"? At the bank do I say, "Oh, Mrs. Malenger, here is one big bastard of a check, now give me some of your Christ-ing money!" THERE, LOOK THERE, NOW SEE WHAT YOU MADE ME DO! Paul Sheldon: You know I never tasted meatloaf quite like this, what's your secret? Annie Wilkes: My secret is I always use fresh tomatoes, never canned, and to give it that extra zip I mix a little spam with the ground beef! Paul Sheldon: Can't get this in a restaurant in New York. Annie Wilkes: Oh no. Annie Wilkes: Anything else I can get for you while I am in town? How about a tiny tape recorder, or how about a homemade pair of writing slippers? Paul Sheldon: Annie, what's the matter? Annie Wilkes: What's the matter? WHAT'S THE MATTER?! I will tell you "what's the matter!" I go out of my way for you! I do everything to try and make you happy. I feed you, I clean you, I dress you, and what thanks do I get? "Oh, you bought the wrong paper, Anne, I can't write on this paper, Anne!" Well, I'll get your stupid paper but you just better start showing me a little appreciation around here, Mr. MAN! Annie Wilkes: God came to me last night and told me your purpose for being here. I am going to help you write a new book. Paul Sheldon: You think I can just wip one out? Annie Wilkes: Oh but I don't think Paul, I know. Annie Wilkes: I am your number one fan. There is nothing to worry about. You are going to be just fine. I am your number one fan.
[Annie has just read Paul's latest novel.] Annie Wilkes: YOU! YOU DIRTY BIRD, HOW COULD YOU! Paul Sheldon: What? Annie Wilkes: She can't be dead, MISERY CHASTAIN CANNOT BE DEAD!

Annie Wilkes: MISERY IS ALIVE, MISERY IS ALIVE! OH, This whole house is going to be full of romance, OOOH, I AM GOING TO PUT ON MY LIBERACE RECORDS! Annie Wilkes: Oh forgive me Paul for prattling away and making everything all oogy. Annie Wilkes: Now the time has come. I put two bullets in my gun. One for me, and one for you. Oh darling, it will be so beautiful. Paul Sheldon: Eat it till ya choke, you sick, twisted fuck! Annie Wilkes: He didn't get out of the COCKADOODIE CAR!! Annie Wilkes: You'll never know the fear of losing someone like you when you're someone like me. Annie Wilkes: I thought you were good Paul...but you're not good.
