The Exorcist Page #4

KARRAS:

There's not a day in my life when I don't feel like a fraud. I

mean priests, doctor, lawyers I've talked to them all, I don't

know anyone who hasn't felt that.

She sees that's it's the young Jesuit who was at the campus

earlier, and that he is talking to another priest. We don't hear

the rest of the conversation because of a low flying aeroplane.

INTERIOR- MACNEIL HOUSE- DINNING ROOM- DUSK

We cut to the dinning room where Chris's house sitter and nanny,

Sharon is sitting at a type writer eating an apple.

CHRIS:

(calling from outside)

Hello?

SHARON:

In here!

Chris walks into the dinning room.

CHRIS:

Hi

SHARON:

Hi, how'd your day go?

CHRIS:

Oh not to bad, kinda like the Walt Disney version of the Ho Chi

Minh story, but other than that it was terrific.

Chris picks up her mail.

CHRIS:

What have we got here?

Sharon gives her a letter.

SHARON:

Here.

CHRIS:

Oh great, anything else?

SHARON:

And you got an invitation.

CHRIS:

What's this?

SHARON:

Dinner at the White House.

CHRIS:

Your kidding me. What is it a big party or something?

SHARON:

Just five or six people.

CHRIS:

No kidding.

Chris walks toward the cabinet and pours herself a drink. We hear

a small voice call from the hall.

REGAN:

Hi mom.

Regan runs in and hugs and kisses Chris.

CHRIS:

What did you do today?

REGAN:

Um........Stuff.

CHRIS:

What kind of stuff?

REGAN:

Well, me and Sharon played a game in the back yard, and we had a

picnic down by the river.

Chris sits down.

REGAN:

Oh mom, you should have seen this man came along on this

beautiful grey horse. (to Sharon)

Wasn't it pretty?

CHRIS:

Really, what kind was it a mair or guilding?

REGAN:

Think it was a guilding. It was grey. Oh it was so beautiful, the

guy let me ride it all around.

CHRIS:

Your kidding?

SHARON:

Yeah for about half an hour.

REGAN:

It was so nice, oh I loved it. Oh mom can't we get a horse?

CHRIS:

Well, not while we're in Washington.

REGAN:

Oh............

CHRIS:

We'll see when we get home okay.

REGAN:

When can I have one?

CHRIS:

We'll see Regan. (to Sharon)

Now about those party invitations.......

Regan opens the jar of candy for the trick or treaters and takes

some candy. Regan runs of and Chris chases her.

CHRIS:

Regan come back here.

Chris catches Regan and wrestle her to the floor. Regan is

giggling constantly.

CHRIS:

All right give it up, give it up, now! You'll be sorry.

INTERIOR- SUBWAY- DAY

We cut to a train screaming through a subway station. When the

train goes past we see the young Jesuit priest standing at the

platform. As things get quiet he hears and Irish voice behind

him.
