I had wanted to mess around with this scene from Stanley Kubrick’s big screen adaptation of The Shining precisely because today the thought of anyone using that sort of dialogue in that context is so alien that it is jarring, but considering the ghosts of the Overlook come from a time when they would likely look down on a grounds keeper as being beneath their stature regardless of the color of his or her skin and or whatnot, it does not surprise me that as a ghost Delbert would adapt the same attitude. Also notice how very often characters ensconced in evil forget who they are or were like Gollum/Smeagle or The Mouth of Sauron in The Lord of the Rings otherwise they suppress it like Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars Saga.
