L'Exorciste (1973)

Partager la citation sur facebook There's not a day in my life that I don't feel like a fraud. Other priests, doctors, lawyers - I talk to them all. I don't know anyone who hasn't felt that.

Partager la citation sur facebook My bed was shaking. I can't get to sleep.

Partager la citation sur facebook You're going to die up there.

Partager la citation sur facebook [as she is being thrown about on her bed] OH PLEASE MOTHER, MAKE IT STOP!!! IT'S HURTING!!!!! [possessed voice, after a doctor tried to hold her] Keep away! The sow is mine! Fuck me! Fuck me! Fuck me!

Partager la citation sur facebook [possessed voice, as she masturbates with a crucifix] LET JESUS FUCK YOU! LET JESUS FUCK YOU! LET HIM FUCK YOU!!! [pressing Chris's face into her groin] LICK ME! LICK ME! [spins her head 180 degrees] You know what she did?! Your cunting daughter?!

Partager la citation sur facebook [possessed voice, to Father Merrin] Stick your cock up her ass, you motherfucking worthless cocksucker!

Partager la citation sur facebook [possessed voice] Your mother sucks cocks in hell, Karras, you faithless swine.

Partager la citation sur facebook Karras: It's my mother, Tom. She's alone. I never should have left her. At least in New York, I'd be near, I'd be closer.
Tom: Could see about a transfer, Damien.
Karras: I need re-assignment, Tom. I want out of this job. It's wrong. It's no good.
Tom: You're the best we've got.
Karras: Yeah, not really. It's more than psychiatry, and you know that Tom. Some of their problems come down to faith, their vocation and meaning of their lives, and I can't cut it anymore. I need out. I'm unfit. I think I've lost my faith, Tom.

Partager la citation sur facebook Chris: What made you say that, Regan? Do you know, sweetheart?
Regan: Mother? What's wrong with me?
Chris: It's just like the doctor said. It's nerves, and that's all. OK? You just take your pills and you'll be fine, really. OK?

Partager la citation sur facebook Chris: Well give me an example, like what specifically did she say?
Dr. Klein: Specifically Mrs. MacNeil she advised me to keep my fingers away from her goddamned cunt.

Partager la citation sur facebook Psychiatrist: When I touch your forehead, open your eyes. How old are you?
Regan: Twelve.
Psychiatrist: Is there someone inside you?
Regan: Sometimes.
Psychiatrist: Who is it?
Regan: I don't know.
Psychiatrist: Is it Captain Howdy?
Regan: I don't know.
Psychiatrist: If I ask him to tell me, will you let him answer?
Regan: No!
Psychiatrist: Why not?
Regan: I'm afraid.
Psychiatrist: If he talks to me, I think he'll leave you. Do you want him to leave you?
Regan: Yes.
Psychiatrist: I'm speaking to the person inside of Regan now. If you are there, you too are hypnotized and must answer all my questions. Come forward and answer me now.
[Regan growls and contorts on the bed]
Psychiatrist: Are you the person inside of Regan? Who are you?
[Regan slams her fist into the Psychiatrist's groin]

Partager la citation sur facebook Kinderman: Well, this desecration in the church. Do you think this has anything to do with witchcraft?
Karras: Maybe. Some rituals use the Black Mass. Maybe.
Kinderman: And now, Dennings, you read how he died?
Karras: In a fall.
Kinderman: Let me tell ya 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.
Karras: It didn't happen in the fall?
Kinderman: It's possible. Possible, however -
Karras: ...unlikely.
Kinderman: 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.
Karras: You think the killer and the desecrator are the same?
Kinderman: Maybe somebody crazy. Somebody with a spite against the church. Some unconscious rebellion.
Karras: A sick priest - is that it?
Kinderman: Look, Father, this is hard for you. Please, I understand, but for priests on the campus here, you're the psychiatrist. You know who was sick at the time, who wasn't. I mean, this kind of sickness. You'd know that.
Karras: I don't know anyone who fits that description.
Kinderman: Ah! Doctor's ethics! If you knew, you wouldn't tell, huh?
Karras: No, I probably wouldn't.
Kinderman: 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.
Karras: Is that a threat?
Kinderman: No, I mention it only in passing.
Karras: Incidentally, I mention it only in passing. I could always tell the judge it was a matter of confession.

Partager la citation sur facebook Kinderman: [about Burke] 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. Nope, 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...
Chris: Judas Priest. Just a second.

Partager la citation sur facebook Chris: How do you go about getting an exorcism?
Karras: I beg your pardon? Well, the first thing - I'd have to get into a time machine and get back to the 16th century...Well, it just doesn't happen any more, Mrs. MacNeil...since we learned about mental illness, paranoia, schizophrenia...Since the day I joined the Jesuits, I've never met one priest who has performed an exorcism. Not one.
Chris: Someone very close to me is probably possessed and needs an exorcism. Father Karras, it's my little girl.
Karras: The Catholic Church insists on proof that the devil is really in a person. Then that's all the more reason to forget about exorcism...To begin with, it could make things worse. Secondly, the church before it approves an exorcism conducts an investigation to see if it's warranted. That takes time...I need church approval and that's rarely given. I will see her as a psychiatrist.
Chris: Oh, not a psychiatrist. She needs a priest. She's already seen every fucking psychiatrist in the world and they sent me to you. Now you're gonna send me back to them? Jesus Christ! Won't somebody help me?...Can't you help her, just help her?

Partager la citation sur facebook Karras: Hello, Regan. I'm a friend of your mother's. I'd like to help you.
Regan: [possessed voice] You might loosen these straps then.
Karras: I'm afraid you might hurt yourself, Regan.
Regan: I'm not Regan.
Karras: I see. Well then, let's introduce ourselves. I'm Damien Karras.
Regan: And I'm the devil. Now kindly undo these straps!
Karras: If you're the devil, why not make the straps disappear?
Regan: That's much too vulgar a display of power, Karras.
Karras: Where's Regan?
Regan: In here. With us.
Karras: Show me Regan and I'll loosen one of the straps.
Regan: [in the voice of a bum he saw on the subway] Can you help an old altar boy, Father?... [possessed voice] Your mother's in here with us, Karras. Would you like to leave a message? I'll see that she gets it.
Karras: If that's true, then you must know my mother's maiden name. What is it? What is it?
[Regan vomits onto Karras]

Partager la citation sur facebook Karras: Look, I'm only against the possibility of doing your daughter more harm than good...I can't do it. I need evidence that the church would accept as signs of possession...like her speaking in a language she's never known or studied...Look, your daughter doesn't say she's a demon. She says she's the devil himself. Now if you've seen as many psychotics as I have, you 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.
Chris: 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. Now I want you to tell me that you know for a fact that there's nothing wrong with my daughter except in her mind. YOU TELL ME YOU KNOW FOR A FACT THAT AN EXORCISM WOULDN'T DO ANY GOOD! YOU TELL ME THAT!

Partager la citation sur facebook Regan: [possessed voice] What an excellent day for an exorcism.
Karras: You'd like that?
Regan: Intensely.
Karras: But wouldn't that drive you out of Regan?
Regan: It would bring us together.
Karras: You and Regan?
Regan: You and us.
[Karras sits down; a bedside drawer opens near him]
Karras: Did you do that? [Regan murmurs; Karras pushes the drawer closed] Do it again.
Regan: In time.
Karras: No, now.
Regan: In time. Mirabile dictu (Wonderful to relate), don't you agree?
Karras: You speak Latin? [starts recording their words on tape]
Regan: Ego te absolvo. (I absolve you.)
Karras: Quod nomen mihi est? (What is my name?)
Regan: [in French] Bonjour. (Hello.)
Karras: Quod nomen mihi est? (What is my name?)
Regan: La plume de ma tante. (The pen of my aunt.) [croaks out a laugh]
Karras: How long are you planning to stay in Regan?
Regan: Until she rots and lies stinking in the earth. [Father Karras pulls a vial from his pocket] What's that?
Karras: Holy water.
Regan: Keep it away... [Karras sprinkles the holy water onto Regan, who starts screaming] it burns, it burns!

Partager la citation sur facebook Karras: I think 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. She's convinced...
Merrin: There is only one.

Partager la citation sur facebook Merrin: I cast you out, unclean spirit!
Regan: [possessed voice] Shove it up your ass, you faggot!
Merrin: In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! It is he who commands you! He who flung you from the heights of heaven to the depths of hell!
Regan: Fuck him!
Merrin: Be gone...
Regan: Fuck him, Karras! Fuck him!
Merrin: ...from this creature of God!
[Regan collapses, moaning]
Merrin: Be gone! In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit!

Partager la citation sur facebook Chris: Would you like some bourbon in that, father?
Merrin: Well, my doctor says I shouldn't but thank God my will is weak.

Partager la citation sur facebook Karras: Why her? Why this girl?
Merrin: I think the point is to make us despair. To see ourselves as... animal and ugly. To make us reject the possibility that God could love us.

Partager la citation sur facebook Regan: [in Karras' mother's voice] Dimmy, why did you do this to me? Please Dimmy, I'm afraid.
Karras: You're not my mother!
Merrin: Don't listen...Get out!

Partager la citation sur facebook Chris: She doesn't remember any of it.
Father Dyer: That's good.
