" No." "There has to be another way." "You know this voodoo stuff." "Can't you, Iike, demiIk him with a ritual or something?" "That's real mambo work." "I only know the little things, Iike dolls and spells and..." "I can't." "(Eric) He's gone again." "He didn't go far." " I can make a doll." " A doll?" "What would that do?" "The evil is inside Ray's body." "I can't stop that." "But maybe I can stop his body long enough for us to get out of here." " It's worth a try." " Are you talking about a voodoo doll?" "If I had something of Ray's, Iike some hair or some clothing, some actual part of him, I couId make a doll..." "So who's gonna go outside and pull a lock of hair?" " will blood work?"
