A scene from The Exorcist 1973
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 **** 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?
