Father Delaney : I checked into the murders. And I checked into the twenty year old boy who killed his parents, and his four brothers and sisters. And when he was at trial, he testified that he heard voices in the house. He heard voices in the house and the voices told him to do it! Now, I was in the house and I heard the voices, too! And I also felt their presence in the house! I'm telling you, there was a presence in that house!
Father Ryan : Half the killers in this country say the same thing. The voices. The voices told me to do it.

Father Ryan : "The wheel locked". How about a mechanical defect? I'd blame Detroit a lot faster than the Devil. It seems like every month there's some kind of recall.

Father Ryan : Nothing to walk away from.

Father Delaney : I think it's bureaucratical bullshit! What do you think I am? I am not some pink-cheeked seminarian who doesn't know the difference between the supernatural and a bad clam! I am a trained psychotherapist! I went into that house, and what I saw there was real, what I felt there was real, and what I heard there was real! Now, gentleman, I have a family in my parish that's at great risk! They're facing real danger.

Father Bolen : What is it, father?
Father Delaney : I can't see! I'm blind!
