"JEFF:" "So?" "Listen, they ran him out of Salem for being a witch." "He built his house exactly where you're living." "You're living on some sort of special ground." "Devil worship." "Death." "Sacrifice." "George, there's one simple rule." "Energy cannot be created or destroyed." "It can only change forms." "Carolyn, will you get a grip on yourself?" "You sound like some kind of psycho weirdo." "Come on, Jeffrey, don't be such a hard-core rationalist." "You know, everything in life cannot be explained by a slide rule." "Thank you very much for your cosmic views." "Now, do me a favor, shut up!" "Can I make a rational suggestion, please?" "Sure, man, anything." "Go home, get cleaned up, take Kathy out to dinner." "Carolyn and I will baby-sit the kids." "You've got to get away from it, George, even if it's for a couple of hours, and when you get back, we'll add it all up." "We'll talk this thing through." "Okay." "Let's go home." "Look, I'll go in and talk to Kathy." "You all come in, in a couple of minutes." "JEFF:" "Hey." "Hey." "Hey!" "He told us to wait out here." "Jeff, I've got to see it for myself." "I thought that place gave you the creeps." "What?" "[SIGHING]" "Are those vibes ever strong." "It really pulls on you." "I've got to see the basement." "That's where it's coming from." "I'm very sensitive about these things." "And I know about them." "Come on." "Knock it off, will you?" "What I saw was not a cat." "It could have climbed up the ivy." "It's all over the side of the damn house." "Look, Kathy, I don't have all the answers yet." "We've got to get some perspective on this thing." "Come on, let's take Jeff's offer." "Put yourself together." "Let's get the hell away from it for a couple of hours." "We'll get dressed." "I just gotta check the fire first." "[WHISPERING] Demons are smart." "They're not just monsters." "They..." "They think." "Just like you and I do, just in reverse." "You know?" "It's a closed system." "Now you're beginning to give me the creeps." "There was a tribe of Indians called the Shinnecocks, and they used this land as a sort of exposure pen." "[HARRY WHINING]" "They put all the crazy people here and left them here to die."

"Richard, I wish you'd make your point because I've got a lot of things to do." "My point is, Father, that I believe we create our own demons in our own minds." "I'm sorry, Father." "In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit." "Let us pray." "Father..." "By the power of Your spirit," "You have filled the hearts of Your faithful people" "with gifts of love for one another." "Hear the prayers that we offer for our relatives and friends."

"Excuse me, Father." "Can I have a word with you?" "Of course, Sergeant." "What can I do for you?" "Well, I don't really know, exactly." "You know, it may be just a wild goose chase, but I'm the curious type." "Like the man says, it goes with the territory." "Sergeant, I have a great deal of work to do." "Could you make your point, please?" "I'd like to know what's happening to Father Delaney." "You see, he's an old friend, and I can't get the story right." "Well, there is no story to get right."
