The Exorcist (1973) - 10 quotes

Regan MacNeil: You're going to die up there.

Father Damien Karras: There are no experts. You probably know as much about possession than most priests. Look, your daughter doesn't say she's a demon. She says she's the devil himself. And if you've seen as many psychotics as I have, you'd know it's like saying you're Napoleon Bonaparte.

Chris MacNeil: Would you like some bourbon in that, father?

Father Merrin: Well, my doctor says I shouldn't but thank God my will is weak.

Dr. Klein: Do you keep any drugs in your house?

Chris MacNeil: No, of course not, nothing like that.

Dr. Klein: Are you sure?

Chris MacNeil: Well, of course I'm sure. I'd tell you. Christ, I don't even smoke grass.

Father Damien 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...

Father Merrin: There is only one.

Demon: I'm not Regan.

Demon: And I'm the Devil. Now kindly undo these straps.

Father Damien Karras: If you're the Devil, why not make the straps disappear?

Demon: That's much too vulgar a display of power, Karras.
