 Wendy, played by Shelley Duvall, discovers that their son has been injured and suspects her husband of hurting Danny. Carrying a baseball bat, she goes down to the room where Jack has been working on his novel. She learns, to her horror, that every page of paper in his manuscript is filled with the same phrase. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. And he enters. She's holding the bat, but he's the one who's menacing.
