Quotes6

  • [talking about the Anti-God]
  • Father Loomis: It's your disbelief that powers him. Your stubborn faith in, in...
  • [grasping for words]
  • Father Loomis: *common sense*. It allows his deception. He lives in the smallest parts of it. In the atoms... smaller... invisible... he lives in all of it. In the sum of its parts. We must translate this book. You must prove it scientifically... to convince the outside world.
  • Professor Edward Birack: The outside world doesn't want to hear this kind of bullshit. Just keep it locked away. You've already managed that for two thousand years.
  • Father Loomis: No prison can hold him now.
  • Father Loomis: Why weren't we told the truth?
  • Professor Edward Birack: Without the technology to confirm? It would have been another legend.
  • Father Loomis: But he was OUR prisoner, not yours!
  • Father Loomis: It just get colder in here. Suddenly, as if... , as if something... moved through the room.
  • [as possessed Kelly is reaching into the mirror]
  • Father Loomis: [uncovers an axe] I could...
  • [picks the axe up]
  • Father Loomis: I could.
  • Father Loomis: [hiding in a room, reciting verses from the Bible]
  • [wipes tears from his eyes and looks up]
  • Father Loomis: Where are you...? Christ?
  • Professor Edward Birack: [awakens abruptly] What time is it?
  • Father Loomis: What were you dreaming?
  • Professor Edward Birack: [grumpily] Your kingdom, Father, does not include my unconscious. It's mine. I may abuse any way I wish, without having to confess what's in it.
  • Father Loomis: Something I haven't told you. The Brotherhood of Sleep. Anyone in close proximity... has the same dream, the one just had... Our guardian priest had the dream for years.
  • Professor Edward Birack: What does it mean?
  • Father Loomis: A premonition. The dream evolves. Unfolds. We'll start to have it every time we sleep, as if it's pushing everything else out, making room for itself...
