The Exorcist
Fridays 9:00 PM on FOXThe Exorcist Season 1 Quotes
Simon: With the greatest respect, I've spent six years planning this welcoming. The honor is mine and mine alone.
Regan: You see, if you really understood respect, you'd already be where you belong.
Why me? Because you were under my foot, you stupid bitch.
Salesman
Canada? Who the hell lives in Canada?
Kat
Bet she didn't tell you. She scraped the first one out worried it would come out like her, rotten, filthy, putrid.
Casey
Marcus: I can't emphasize enough the risk you're taking. Don't think a 40 year absence will protect you.
Angela: I know this thing better than anyone.
Marcus: If you feel it poking around at all, even a twinge, drop everything and run.
Mrs. MacNeil? You got old.
Casey
Mother Bernadette: Why do you think God allows his children to suffer?
Marcus: I don't know! So university freshman can have something to argue over in their dormitories!
Mother Bernadette: Sometimes suffering is just suffering. It serves no higher purpose, it simply is.
Marcus: God is not the source of Casey's suffering.
Mother Bernadette: Needlessly torturing a young woman whose body is rotting before our eyes who has zero hope of recovery. That is not compassion.
Marcus. What? And killing her is?!
Father Bennett: So perhaps you'd like to explain to me how a defunct landscaping company funnels nearly $3 million into a papal planning committee four years after going out of business, seeing as it's your job.
Father Simon: I'll tell you what. Why don't I do some digging. Get back to you on that.
Father Bennett: Would you like a shovel?
I'm sorry, Father...Simon, is it? I still don't understand what you're doing here.
Father Bennett
Mother Bernadette: And if it cannot complete the integration, it will kill the girl out of spite! You know this!
Marcus: So what are we supposed to do, then, just give it up? Sorry God, this one's too hard. Can you send us somethin' a bit easier? We stand in the doorway and we push back the darkness. Remember?
Mother Bernadette: If we fail here, we are unleashing an ancient violence into the world.
Marcus: Well let's *not* fail, then.
Father Tomas: I'll tell the family.
Marcus: No! This is not just a possession.
Father Tomas: But they have the right to know!
Marcus: This is a revenge. Can you not see that? Forty years ago, it had Regan's body and it lost it. That is a demon with a 40-year grudge. Now? It wants to torture her daughter in front of her. I'm not going to give it the satisfaction.
Father Tomas: You're asking me to lie!
Marcus: I was this close at the Rance house, I got it swimmin' laps in the lake, God is in me. Yeah! Lie!
