"We have to start looking for a shrink." "Hi, Chuck." "Come on in." "I suppose you heard." "Heard what?" "You haven't heard." "Burke's dead." "He must have been drunk."

"People tell you that, Father?" "Do people tell you you look like Paul Newman?" "Always." "Well, you know this director who was doing the film here  Burke Dennings?" "I've seen him." "You've seen him." "You're also familiar how last week he died?" "Only what I read in the papers." "Father, what do you know on the subject of witchcraft?" "From the witching end, not the hunting." "I once did a paper on it." "Really?" "From the psychiatric end." "I know." "I read it." "All of this desecration in the church  do you think this has anything to do with witchcraft?" "Maybe." "Some rituals used in the black mass, maybe." "And now Dennings." "You read how he died?" "In a fall." "Let me tell you how." "And please, Father  confidential." "Burke Dennings, good Father  was found at the bottom of those steps leading to M Street  with his head turned completely around  facing backwards." "Didn't happen in the fall?" "It's possible." " Possible, however" " Unlikely." "Exactly." "So on the one hand, we've got a witchcraft kind of murder  and on the other hand, a black mass-type desecration in the church." "You think the killer and the desecrator are the same?" "Maybe somebody crazy  somebody with a spite against the Church." "Some unconscious rebellion." "KARRAS:" "A sick priest, is that it?" "Look, Father, this is hard for you." "Please, I understand  but for priests on the campus here, you're the psychiatrist." "You'd know who was sick at the time, who wasn't." "I mean, this kind of sickness, you'd know that." "I don't know anyone who fits that description." "Ah." "Doctor's ethics." "If you knew, you wouldn't tell, huh?" "No, I probably wouldn't." "Not to bother you with trivia, but a psychiatrist  in sunny California, no less  was put in jail for not telling the police what he knew about a patient." " Is that a threat?" " No, I mention it only in passing." "Incidentally, I mention it only in passing  I could always tell the judge it was a matter of confession." "[CHUCKLING]" "Hey, Father, wait a minute." " Do you like movies?" " Very much." "Well, I get passes to the best shows in town." "Mrs. K, though, you know, she gets tired, never likes to go." " That's too bad." " Yeah, I hate to go alone." "I love to talk film  discuss, to critique." "You want to see a film with me?" "I got passes to the Crest." "It's Othello." " Who's in it?" " Who's in it?" "Debbie Reynolds, Desdemona, and Othello, Groucho Marx." "You happy?" " I've seen it." " Ah." "One last time." "You can think of some priest who fits the bill?" " Come on." " No, answer the question, Father Paranoia." "All right." "All right." " You know who I think really did it?" " Who?" "The Dominicans." "Go pick on them." "I could have you deported, you know that?" "I lied." "You look like Sal Mineo." "BARRINGER:" "It looks like a type of disorder that's, uh, rarely ever seen anymore  except in primitive cultures." "We call it, uh, somnambular-form possession." "Quite frankly, we really don't know much about it at all  except that it starts with a conflict or a guilt  and it leads to the patient's delusions that his body has been invaded  by some alien intelligence." "Um...." "A spirit, if you will." "Look, I'm telling you again, and you'd better believe me  I am not going to lock her up in some goddamn asylum." " Well, it's out of" " And I don't care what you call it." "I'm not putting her away." "Well, I'm sorry." "You're sorry?" "Jesus Christ!" "Eighty-eight doctors, and all you can tell me with all your bullshit is...." "Of course, there is one outside chance for a cure." "But, um, I think of it as a shock treatment." "As I said, it's a very outside chance" "Would you just name it, for God's sakes?" "What is it?" " Do you have any religious beliefs?" "CHRIS:" "No." "What about your daughter?" "No." "Why?" "Have you ever heard of exorcism?" "Well, it's a stylized ritual  in which the, uh, rabbi or the priest try to drive out the so-called invading spirit." "It's been pretty much discarded these days  except by the Catholics, who keep it in the closet as a sort of embarrassment." "But it, uh, has worked, in fact  although not for the reasons they think, of course." "It's purely force of suggestion." "The, uh" " The victim's belief in possession is what helped cause it  so in that same way  the belief in the power of exorcism can make it disappear." "You're telling me that I should take my daughter to a witch doctor." "Is that it?" "Karl?" "Did you put this in Regan's bedroom?" "She's going to be well?" "Karl, if you put this in Regan's bedroom, I want you to tell me." "Now, did you?" "No, not me." "I didn't." "This was under Regan's pillow." "Did you put it there?" "Of course, I didn't." "I didn't put it." "[KNOCKING ON DOOR]" "KARL:" "Excuse me, madam." " What?" " A man to see you." "CHRIS:" "What man?" "KINDERMAN:" "Might your daughter remember, perhaps  if Mr. Dennings was in her room that night?" " Why do you ask?" " Mm." "Might she remember?" "No, she was heavily sedated." "It's serious?" "Yes, I'm afraid it is." " May I ask...?" " We still don't know." "Watch out for drafts." "A draft in the fall when the house is hot is a magic carpet for bacteria." "Excuse me, madam." "Anything else?" "No, Karl, we're fine." "Thank you." "It's all right, Karl." "Why are you asking all this?" "It's strange." "The deceased comes to visit, stays only 20 minutes  and leaves all alone a very sick girl." "And speaking plainly, Mrs. MacNeil  it isn't likely he would fall from a window." "Besides, a fall wouldn't do to his neck what we found." "Except maybe one chance in a thousand." "No." "My hunch...." "My opinion  he was killed by a very powerful man:" "point one." "And the fracturing of his skull: point two  plus the various other things we mentioned  would make it very probable  probable, not certain  that the deceased was killed and then pushed from your daughter's window." "But nobody was in the room except your daughter, so how can this be?" "It could be one way." "If someone came calling between the time Miss Spencer left  and the time you returned." "Judas Priest, just a second." " The servants?" "They have visitors?" " Not at all." "You were expecting a package that day, some delivery?" "Not that I know of." "Groceries, cleaning, uh, a package?" "I really wouldn't know." "See, Karl takes care of all that." "I see." "Would you like to ask him?" "No, never mind, it's...." "It's very remote." "No, never mind." "Yeah." "Would you like some more coffee?" "Please." "[CHUCKLES]" "That's cute." "Your daughter, she's the artist?" " Thank you." " You're welcome." "Incidentally, um  you might ask your daughter  if she remembers seeing Mr. Dennings in her room that night." "Look, he wouldn't have any reason in the world to go up to her room." "Oh, I know, I realize  but if certain British doctors never asked, "What is this fungus?"  we wouldn't today have penicillin." "Correct?" "Well, when she's better, I'll ask her." " Yeah, couldn't hurt." " Okay." "Uh, in the meantime...." "That's okay." " I really hate to ask you this, but" " What?" "For my daughter, could you please give an autograph?" "Of course." "Uh, where's a pencil?" "Right here." "Here." "Oh." "She'd love it." "And what's her name?" "I lied." "It's for me." "[CHRIS CHUCKLES]" " The spelling is on the back:" "Kinderman." " Okay." "You know that film you made, um, Angel?" " Oh, yeah." " I saw that six times." " Really?" " It was beautiful." "Ha, ha." "Thank you." "You're a very nice lady." " Thank you." " You're a nice man." "Uh, I'll come back when she's feeling better." " Bye." " Bye." "REGAN:" "Please, no!" "DEMONIC VOICE:" "Do it!" "REGAN:" "Please, don't!" "DEMONIC VOICE:" "You bitch!" "Do it!" "Do it!" "REGAN:" "Please, no!" "[SCREAMING]" "REGAN [IN DEMONIC VOICE]:" "Yes!" "Let Jesus fuck you!" "Let Jesus fuck you!" "Let him fuck you!" "[BOTH GRUNTING]" "Aah!" "Give it!" "Give it to me!" "Aah!"

"[AS BURKE] Do you know what she did  your cunting daughter?" "[SCREAMING]" "Chris MacNeil?" "Please, go away." "I'm Father Karras." "I'm very sorry." "Hello." "I should have told you I wouldn't be in uniform." "Yeah, that would have helped." " Have you got a cigarette, Father?" " Sure." "Thanks." "Cold." "Yeah." "Uh" "How did a shrink ever get to be a priest?" "It's the other way around." "The Society sent me through medical school." "Oh." "Where?" "Harvard, Bellevue, Johns Hopkins." " Places like that." " I see." " You're a friend of Father Dyer's, right?" " Yes, I am." " Pretty close?" " Pretty close." "Did he talk to you about my party?" "He sure did." "About my daughter?" "No, I didn't know you had one." " He didn't mention her?" " No." "Oh." "Didn't tell you what she did?" "He didn't mention her." "Priests are pretty tight-mouthed, then, huh?" "That depends." " On what?" " The priest." "Sure." "I mean, what if a person, uh, came to you  you know, that was a murderer or criminal of some kind  and they wanted some kind of help?" "I mean, would you have to turn him in?" "Well, if he came to me for spiritual advice, I'd say no." " You wouldn't?" " No, I wouldn't." "But I would try to convince him to turn himself in." "Mm-hm." "And, uh, how do you go about getting an exorcism?" "I beg your pardon?" "If, um" " If a person's, you know, possessed by a demon, or something  how do they get an exorcism?" "I'd have to get them into a time machine and get them back to the 16th century." "I didn't get you." "It just doesn't happen anymore, Mrs. MacNeil." "Oh, yeah?" "Since when?" "Well, since we learned about mental illness, paranoia, schizophrenia." "All those things they taught me at Harvard." "Mrs. MacNeil, since the day I joined the Jesuits  I've never met one priest who has performed an exorcism." "Not one." "Yeah, well..." "[CLEARS THROAT] ... it just so happens that somebody very close to me  is probably possessed." "And needs an exorcist." "Father Karras, it's my little girl." "[SOBS]" "Then that's all the more reason to forget about exorcism." "Why?" "I don't understand." " To begin with, it could make things worse." " Oh, how?" "Secondly, the Church, before it approves an exorcism  conducts an investigation to see if it's warranted." "That takes time." " Yeah, but" " Meanwhile, your daughter" " You could do it yourself." " No." "I'd need Church approval..." " ...and that's rarely given." " But" " Uh...." " Could you see her?" " Yes, I could." "I could see her as a psychiatrist, but I" "Oh, not a psychiatrist." "She needs a priest." "She's seen every fucking psychiatrist in the world, and they sent me to you." "Now are you gonna send me back to them?" " Jesus Christ, won't somebody help me?" " You don't understand" "Oh, God, can't you help her?" "Just help her!" "[CRYING]" "[REGAN GROANING]" "It wants no straps." "KARRAS:" "Hello, Regan." "I'm a friend of your mother's." "I'd like to help you." "[IN DEMONIC VOICE] You might loosen these straps, then." "I'm afraid you might hurt yourself, Regan." "I'm not Regan." "I see." "Well, then, let's introduce ourselves." "I'm Damien Karras." "And I'm the devil." "Now, kindly undo these straps." "If you're the devil, why not make the straps disappear?" "That's much too vulgar a display of power, Karras." "Where's Regan?" "In here, with us." "Show me Regan and I'll loosen one of the straps." "[AS OLD MAN] Could you help an old altar boy, Father?" "[IN DEMONIC VOICE] Your mother's in here with us, Karras." "Would you like to leave a message?" "I'll see that she gets it." "If that's true  then you must know my mother's maiden name." "What is it?" "[ROARS]" "[YELLS]" "[COUGHING]" "Thank you." "Look, I'm only against the possibility of doing your daughter more harm than good." "Nothing you could do could make it any worse." "I can't do it." "I need evidence that the Church would accept..." " ...as signs of possession." " Like what?" "Speaking in a language she's never known or studied." "What else?" "I don't know." "I'd have to look it up." "I thought you were supposed to be an expert." "There are no experts." "You probably know as much about possession as most priests." "Look, your daughter doesn't say she's a demon." "She says she's the devil himself." "If you've seen as many psychotics as I have  you'd realize that's the same thing as saying you're Napoleon Bonaparte." "You asked me what I think is best for your daughter." "Six months under observation in the best hospital you can find." "You show me Regan's double  same face, same voice, everything  and I'd know it wasn't Regan." "I'd know in my gut." "I'm telling you that that thing upstairs isn't my daughter." "I want you to tell me that you know for a fact  that there's nothing wrong with my daughter except in her mind." "Tell me you know for a fact that an exorcism wouldn't do any good." "You tell me that!" "Did Regan know a priest was coming over?" " No." " Did you know my mother died recently?" " Yes, I did." "I'm very sorry." " No." "Is Regan aware of it?" "Not at all." "Why do you ask?" "It's not important." "Good night." "REGAN [ON RECORDER]:" "Hello?" "[CHRIS SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY ON RECORDER]" "CHRIS:" "Here, take it and just don't...." "REGAN:" "Okay." "Um." "Hello, Daddy?" "This is me." " What should I say?" "I don't know." "CHRIS:" "Just talk to your daddy." " Anything you want." "REGAN:" "All right, um...." "CHRIS:" "Tell him what you've been doing and how you're feeling and like that." "REGAN:" "Uh...."

" Tell him about Washington." "REGAN:" "Okay." "See, we're in Washington now, Daddy, and...." "He broke the bread, gave it to his disciples and said:" ""Take this, all of you, and eat it  for this is my body."" "When the supper was ended, he took the cup." "Again he gave you thanks and praise." "He gave the cup to his disciples and said, "Take this  all of you, and drink from it." "This is the cup of my blood." "The blood of the new and everlasting covenant, the mystery of faith."" "[IN DEMONIC VOICE] What an excellent day for an exorcism." "You'd like that?" "Intensely." "But wouldn't that drive you out of Regan?" "It would bring us together." "You and Regan?" "You and us." "[MOANS]" " Did you do that?" " Uh-huh." " Do it again." " In time." "No, now." "In time."

"No, I just" " I'm really-- I'm going through something  and I just have to, uh...." "No, no." "No, no." "There's nothing." "Hey, thanks a lot." "Bye, now." " Want a drink?" " Please."

" Yeah, sit." "Where's her father?" "In Europe." " Have you told him what's happening?" " No." "Well, I think you should." "I told Regan that was holy water." "I sprinkled it on her and she reacted very violently." "It's tap water." "What's the difference?" "Holy water's blessed." "And that doesn't help support a case for possession." "She killed Burke Dennings." "What?" "She killed Burke Dennings." "She pushed him out her window." "[REGAN SPEAKING GIBBERISH ON RECORDER]" "KARRAS:" "Who are you?"

"No, not really, I suppose." "But I have made  a prudent judgment that it meets the conditions set down in The Ritual." "You would want to do the exorcism yourself?" "Yes." "Might be best to have a man with experience." "Maybe someone who's spent time in foreign missions." "I understand, Your Excellency." "Let's see who's around." "In the meantime, I'll call you as soon as I know." "Thank you, Your Excellency." "Well, he does know the background." "I doubt there's any danger in just having him assist." "There should be a psychiatrist present, anyway." "What about the exorcist?" "Have you any ideas?" "How about Lankester Merrin?" "Merrin?" "I had a notion he was in Iraq." "I read he was working on a dig near Nineveh." "You're right, but he's finished." "He came back three or four months ago." "He's at Woodstock now." "What's he doing there, teaching?" "He's working on another book." "Don't you think he's too old, Tom?" "How's his health?" "He must be all right." "He's still running around digging up tombs." "Mm." " Besides, he's had experience." " I didn't know that." "Ten, 12 years ago, I think, in Africa." "The exorcism supposedly lasted months." "I heard it damn near killed him." "Father?" " You're Mrs. MacNeil?" " Yes."

"But thank God  my will is weak." "MERRIN:" "Especially important is the warning to avoid conversations with the demon." "We may ask what is relevant, but anything beyond that is dangerous." "He's 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." "Remember that." "Do not listen." "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."
