PROMPTS FROM THE EXORCIST
* assorted dialogue from the 1973 film, adjust as necessary
they've found something. small pieces.
i wish you didn't have to go.
there is something i must do.
it's okay. i got it, thanks.
why are they tearing the building down?
has there been enough killing?
i think i'll walk home tonight, [name].
take that, and drop it by my house.
you can't keep going up and down those stairs.
you are not happy. tell me. what is the matter?
hey. where'd this come from?
you've been playing with it?
why are you reading that?
what are we going to do on your birthday?
what would you like to do? got any ideas?
you're not going to marry him, are you?
where'd you ever get an idea like that?
i want out of this job. it's wrong.
you're the best we've got.
why do people have to die?
you should have called me the minute it happened.
do you have an appointment?
i think that's the answer.
wait a minute. what are you talking about?
i'd say her vocabulary's rather extensive.
the best explanation is always the simplest one.
listen, if you ever go up there again, will you take me along?
bastard! i will kill you!
what made you say that, [name]?
make it stop! what's wrong? i'm scared!
is there someone inside you?
if he talks to me, i think he'll leave you. do you want him to leave you?
yeah, it's true. you do look like a boxer.
it has worked, in fact, although not for the reason they think.
how do you go about getting an exorcism?
now kindly undo these straps.
nothing you could do would make it any worse.
i thought you were supposed to be an expert.
what an excellent day for an exorcism.
it would bring us together.
you're convinced that it's genuine.
i'll call you as soon as i know.
i cast you out! unclean spirit!
the power of christ compels you.
let's rest before we start again.
i think the point is to make us despair. to see ourselves as animal and ugly. to reject the possibility that god could love us.
will you excuse me, [name]?
somebody fell at the bottom of the steps here!
i hope to see you again soon.
