What an excellent day for an exorcism.
– Demon
You would like that?
– Father Karras
Intensely.
– Demon
But wouldn’t that drive you out of Regan?
– Father Karras
It would bring us together.
– Demon
You and Regan?
– Father Karras
You and us.
– Demon
The Power of Christ compels you!
– Father Merrin, Father Karras
Your mother sucks cocks in Hell, Karras, you faithless slime.
– Demon
Why her? Why this girl?
– Father Karras
I think the point is to make us despair. To see ourselves as… animal and ugly. To make us reject the possibility that God could love us.
– Father Merrin
Do you know what she did, your cunting daughter?
– Demon
Stick your cock up her ass, you motherfucking worthless cocksucker.
– Demon
You’re going to die up there.
– Regan
Especially important is the warning to avoid conversations with the demon. We may ask what is relevant but anything beyond that is dangerous. He is a liar. The demon is a liar. He will lie to confuse us. But he will also mix lies with the truth to attack us. The attack is psychological, Damien, and powerful. So don’t listen to him. Remember that – do not listen.
– Father Merrin
Let Jesus fuck you, let Jesus fuck you. Let him fuck you.
– Demon
I’m not Regan.
– Demon
Well, then let’s introduce ourselves. I’m Damien Karras.
– Father Karras
And I’m the Devil. Now kindly undo these straps.
– Demon
If you’re the Devil, why not make the straps disappear?
– Father Karras
That’s much too vulgar a display of power, Karras.
– Demon
What are you doing here?
– Chris MacNeil
My bed was shaking. I can’t get to sleep.
– Regan
You killed your mother! You left her alone to die! Bastard!
– Demon
Shut up!
– Father Karras
Cunting Hun! Bloody damn butchering Nazi pig!
– Burke Dennings
I think it might be helpful if I gave you some background on the different personalities Regan has manifested. So far, I’d say there seem to be three. She’s convinced…
– Father Karras
There is only one.
– Father Merrin
Where is Regan?
– Father Karras
In here. With us.
– Demon
Your mother’s in here, Karras. Would you like to leave a message? I’ll see that she gets it.
– Demon
Lick me, lick me!
– Demon
How do you go about getting an exorcism?
– Chris MacNeil
I beg your pardon?
– Father Karras
– Chris MacNeil
Well, my doctor says I shouldn’t but thank God my will is weak.
– Father Merrin
