THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE [2005]

What Happened To Emily?

I choose to stay.

[Emily Rose]

Demons exist whether you believe in them or not.

[Father Moore]

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. 

My name is Ethan Thomas. 

I'm the assistant district attorney, and I represent the people. 

In the case before you, 

the evidence will show that the victim had a serious medical condition that demanded treatment. 

We will prove that the victim's condition rendered her physically and psychologically incapable of caring for herself. 

Her care was then wholly entrusted to that man, the defendant, Father Richard Moore. 

She became his responsibility, 

and he betrayed that responsibility by persuading her to abandon her medical treatment in favor of religious treatment:

a ritual exorcism, performed by the defendant allegedly to cure the victim by ridding her of demonic forces. 

We will demonstrate that this course of action directly resulted in the victim's death. 

I said a moment ago that I represent the people. 

We all know what that means, but it's a little abstract, isn't it? 

Miss Bruner, the attorney for the defense is seated right next to the man she represents. 

And I stand here to represent the people. 

That's not really why I stand here today. 

I'm here on behalf of someone who can't sit at a table and look at you every day and gain your sympathy someone who can't take the stand to testify and tell you what happened in her own words. 

A young girl that could've been your daughter. 

Could've been mine. 

A girl who trusted Father Richard Moore with her life. 

This is what she looked like,before the defendant began his religious treatment. 

This is a photograph taken of her on the day that she died. 

I stand here for Emily Rose who died horribly at age 19. 

You won't be able to see Emily sitting here day after day during this trial. 

But I hope you'll remember her as she was when she was alive and full of hopes and dreams, 

and as she was when the Father Richard Moore was finished with her... and left her to die. 

Thank you. 

[Ethan Thomas, to the courtroom]

[Father Moore, before the exorcism]: Do not ask it any questions or pay any attention to what it says.

[Jason]: It? 

[Father Moore]: We won't be dealing with Emily tonight. 

[Father Moore]: Emily, can you hear me? 

[Emily Rose, in Latin]: I am the one who dwells within.

[Father Moore]: And I am the one who comes in His name. 

[Emily Rose]: You think you can force me out, priest? 

Try. I dare you. 

[Father Moore]: Tell me you six names!

[Emily Rose]: We are the ones who dwell within.

I am the one who dwelt within CAIN! [in Hebrew]

I am the one who dwelt within NERO! [in Latin]

I once dwelt within JUDAS! [in Greek]

I was with Legion. [in German]

I am Belial [in Assyrian Neo-Aramaic]

and I am Lucifer, the devil in the flesh. 

[Father Moore]: Are you a Catholic?

[Erin Bruner]: No. I'm an Agnostic, I guess. I'm not really sure. 

[Father Moore]: If you're not sure, then you are one.

[Ethan Thomas]: So, the judge thinks we should offer your client a new plea agreement. 

Apparently she thinks the community would be better served without this trial.

[Erin Bruner]: How do you feel about it, personally? 

[Ethan Thomas]: My job is to represent the interest of the people, make an effort to be objective.

[Erin Bruner]: Hm, I ask because I know you're a churchgoer. 

Now you're sent to prosecute a man of God. 

[Ethan Thomas]: Your priest broke the law and a young girl is dead. 

If he's a man of God then personally I think he's even more subject to the laws of moral behavior and punishment. 

If it were up to me he'd get no deal at all.

[Erin Bruner]: What about forgiveness and compassion? 

Isn't that part of your creed or does that just get in the way of your work? 

[Ethan Thomas]: If you have compassion for your client, counselor, you'll persuade him to accept this: 

Charges reduced to reckless endangerment, 

12 months in a county jail, reducible to 6 plus probation if he can stay out of trouble. 

Somehow I expect he can manage that, but please understand me... 

if he refuses I will seek the maximum.

[Dr. Cartwright]: That girl was not scizophrenic, she was not epileptic, or any combination of the two. 

I've seen hundreds of people with those problems. 

They have terrible afflictions, of course, but they don't scare me. 

[Erin Bruner]: But what you saw in Emily that night? It scared you?

[Dr. Cartwright]: God, if i'd known, i never would have been there. 

I examined that girl before i drove back to the city. 

She was lucid and completely aware of the seperate entity inside her. 

When she wasn't in it's grasp, she was totally herself and completely normal, 

which conradicts the medical statement... 

[Erin Bruner]: Crazy people don't know they're crazy.

LOVE ACTUALLY [2003]

Love Actually Is All Around

Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport.
General options makes out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that.
Seems to me that love is everywhere.
Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy but it's always there.
Fathers and sons, mother and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends.
When the planes hit the Twin Towers,
none of the phone calls from people on board were messages of hate or revenge, 
they were all messages of love.
If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around.
~The Prime Minister

 Prime Minister: Hello, Natalie.
Natalie: Hello, David... I mean, sir...
Shit, I can't believe I've just said that.
And now I've gone and said 'shit'. Twice. I'm so sorry, sir.
Prime Minister: You could've said 'fuck' and we'd have been in real trouble.
Natalie: Thank you, sir.
I had a premonition I was gonna fuck up on my first day.
Oh, piss it! [embarassed]

I am Colin, God of Sex.
I'm just on the wrong continent, that's all.
~Colin

Billy: Christmas is a time for people with someone they love in their lives.
Michael: And that's not you?
Billy: That's not me, Michael.
When I was young and successful, I was greedy and foolish,
and now I'm left with no one, wrinkled and alone.

He said I was getting fat.
He said no one'd fancy a girl with thighs the size of 3 trunks.
Not a nice guy, actually, in the end.
~Natalie

Hiya, kids.
Here's an important message from your Uncle Bill... don't buy drugs.
Become a pop star and they give you them for free.
~Billy Mack

I love that word 'relationship'.
Covers all manner of sins, doesn't it?
I fear that this has become a bad relationship.
A relationship based on the President taking what he wants 
and casually ignoring all those things that really matter to... Britain.
We may be a small country but we're a great one, too.
The country of Shakespeare, Churchill, The Beatles, Sean Connery, Harry Potter.
David Beckham's right foot, David Beckham's left foot come to that.
And a friend who bullies us is no longer a friend.
And since bullies only respond to strength, from now onward, I will be prepared to be much stronger.
And the President should be prepared for that.
~The Prime Minister

[on the phone]
Prime Minister: I'm very busy and important, how can I help you?
Karen: Have you gone completely insane?
Prime Minister: You can't always be sensible.
Karen: 'You can if you're Prime Minister.'

The trouble with being The Prime Minister's sister is it puts your life into perspective.
What did my brother do today?
He stood up for his country.
What did I do?
I made a papier-mache-lobster head.
~Karen

Harry: What is this we're listening to?
Karen: Joni Mitchell.
Harry: I can't believe you still listen to Joni Mitchell.
Karen: I love her and true love lasts a lifetime.
Joni Mitchell is the woman who taught your cold English wife how to feel.
Harry: Did she?
Oh, well, that's good, I must write to her and say thanks.

Aurelia: Later you'll drive me home?
Jamie: Sure. It's my favorite time of day, driving you.
Aurelia: It's the saddest part of my day, leaving you.

[on the phone]
Harry: Are you gonna give me something?
Mia: I thought I made it clear last night.
When it comes to me, you can have everything.
Harry: So, what do you need?
Something along the stationery line? Are you short of staplers?
Mia: No, I don't want something I need.
I want something I want. Something pretty.

The thing about romance is people only get together right at the very end.
~Sam

Billy: I realized that Christmas is the time to be with the people you love.
And I realized that, as dire chance and fateful cockup would have it, here I am, 
mid-fifties, and without knowing it, I've spent most of my adult life with a chubby employee.
And much as it grieves me to say it, it might be that the people I love is, in fact, you.
Joe: This is a surprise.
Billy: I left Elton's and a hefty number of half-naked chicks with their mouths open
in order to hang out with you at Christmas.
It's a terrible, terrible mistake, chubs, 
but you turn out to be the fucking love of my life.
And to be honest, despite all my complaining, we have had a wonderful life.
Joe: Thank you, it's been an honor. I feel very proud.

Karen: Tell me, if you were in my position, what would you do?
Harry: What position is that?
Karen: Imagine your husband bought a gold necklace 
and, come Christmas, gave it to somebody else.
Harry: Oh, Karen...
Karen: Would you wait around to find out if it's just a necklace or if it's sex and a necklace,
or if, worst of all, it's a necklace and love?
Would you stay?
Knowing life would always be a little bit worse?
Or would you cut and run?
Harry: Oh, God.
I am so in the wrong. A classic fool.
Karen: Yes, but you've also made a fool out of me.
You've made the life I lead foolish, too.

 

Daniel: Tell her, then.
Sam: Tell her what?
Daniel: That you love her.
Sam: No way. Anyway, they fly tonight.
Daniel: Even better.
Sam, you've got nothing to lose and you'll always regret it if you don't.
I never told your mum enough.
I should have told her every day because she was perfect every day.
You've seen the films, kiddo. It ain't over till it's over.
Sam: Okay, dad, let's do it.
Let's go get the shit kicked out of us by love.
