The Exorcist Page #6
Chris walks back to her.
CHRIS:
It's just like the doctor said, it's nerves and that's all. Okay,
you just take your pills and you'll be fine really. Okay?
Regan nods and Chris exits the room.
INTERIOR- MACNEIL HOUSE- HALLWAY- NIGHT
Chris walks to the stairs where we see Willie, down stairs,
cleaning up Regan's mess.
CHRIS:
Is it coming out Willie?
WILLIE:
Yes, I think so.
All of a sudden we here Regan screaming along with a constant
crashing sound. Chris rushes to Regan's room.
REGAN:
Mother! Mother! Mother!!!!! Mother help!
Chris opens the door and gasps in shock. We then see Regan on her
bed, but the bed is thumping and shaking ferociously.
CHRIS:
Oh my God!
REGAN:
Make it stop! What's wrong!! I'm scared!!!
Chris jumps on the bed to comfort Regan and they both sit
screaming as the bed continues to rapidly jump around.
INTERIOR- UNIVERSITY OF GEORGETOWN- HALLWAY- NIGHT
Father Dyer is walking down the long corridor to Damien's room.
He reaches the room, knocks ad then enters.
KARRAS:
Where'd you get the money for the Chivas Regal? The poor box?
FATHER DYER:
That's an insult, I got a vow of poverty.
KARRAS:
Where'd you get it then?
FATHER DYER:
I stole it.
KARRAS:
I believe you.
FATHER DYER:
College president shouldn't drink. Tends to set a bad example, I
figure I saved them from a big temptation.
KARRAS:
Oh Christ! I should of been there and I wasn't there, I should've
been there.
FATHER DYER:
There was nothing you could do. Lye down. C'mon.
Father Dyer helps Damien onto his bed, takes his cigarette and
takes his shoes off.
FATHER DYER:
Think you can sleep?
KARRAS:
Are you gonna steal my shoes now?
FATHER DYER:
No, I tell fortunes by reading the crease, now shut up and go to
sleep.
Damien grabs Father Dyer's arm but slowly let's go. Father Dyer
turns the light out and heads for the door.
FATHER DYER:
Goodnight Dims.
KARRAS:
Stealing is a sin.
Dyer exists. We slowly zoom in on Damien while he's asleep. He
starts to dream and we see the images that come into his head.
There is falling medallion, a swing pendulum in a clock and a
running dog. He then sees his mother ascending a subway tunnel to
the street, Karras is on the other side of the street and
although there is no sound, we can see that Damien is calling
"Momma" and Mrs. Karras is calling "Damien". A white demonic face
flashes a split second as Karras starts to run across the street
to his mother, but we see her once again descend to the subway.
We see the falling medallion again and as it hits the floor, the
silence is broken by Regan's screamng.
INTERIOR- HOSPITAL- DR. KLEIN'S OFFICE- DAY
REGAN:
I don't want it.
CHRIS:
Honey it's to help you.
We can see Dr. Klein preparing an injection.
REGAN:
I don't want it, I don't want it.
Dr. Klein injects the needle into Regan's arm. She spits at him.
REGAN:
You f***ing bastard!!
INTERIOR- UNIVERSITY OF GEORGETOWN- CHAPEL- DAY
Karras is doing a church service in the chapel.
KARRAS:
(whisper)
Remember O Lord, Thy servant, Mary Karras... who has gone before
us with the sign of faith, and sleeps the sleep of peace. (to the
attendants)
Lord I am not worthy to receive you, but only say the words and I
shall be healed. May the body of Christ bring me ever lasting
life.
INTERIOR- HOSPITAL- CORRIDOR- DAY
Chris is waiting outside Dr. Klein's office. Dr.Klein emerges
from his room.
DR. KLEIN
Well, It's a symptom of a type of desturbance in the chemico-
electrical activity of the brain. In the case of your daughter in
the temperal lobe, up here in the lateral part of the brain. It's
rare, but it does cause bizarre hallucinations and usually just
before a convulsion.
CHRIS:
Convulsion?
DR. KLEIN
The shaking of the bed, that's doubtless due to musuclar spasms.
CHRIS:
Oh no, that was no spasm. I got on the bed, the whole bed was
thumping and rising off the floor and shaking. The whole thing,
with me on it!
DR. KLEIN
Mrs. MacNeil the problem with your daughter is not her bed, it's
her brain.
They both walk into Klein's office.
INTERIOR- HOSPITAL- DR. KLEIN'S OFFICE- DAY
CHRIS:
So, what causes this?
DR. KLEIN
Lesion, Lesion in the temperal lobe. It's a kind of seizure
disorder.
CHRIS:
Look doc, I really don't understand how her whole personality
could change.
DR. KLEIN
The temperal lobe is very common. Could last for days, even
weeks. It isn't rare to find destructive or even criminal
behaviour.
CHRIS:
Hey do me a favour will ya'. Tell me something good.
DR. KLEIN
Don't be alarmed. If it's a lesion in a way she's fortunate. All
we have to do is remove the scar.
INTERIOR- HOSPITAL- OPERATING THEATRE- DAY
We see Regan being wheeled on a bed to the operating bench. The
place the bed next to the bench and pull the bars down.
MALE NURSE:
Regan, could you sit up and scoot over here?
Regan does so and she lays back onto the operating bench. The
male nurse pushes a button and the bench begins to move forward.
MALE NURSE:
Regan, I'm just gonna move you down to the table okay?
MALE NURSE:
Just for a short time.
Both nurses, male and female, loosen Regans gown around the neck
to prep her for the doctor. They place monitors on her arms.
MALE NURSE:
Very sticky.
The doctor approaches Regan with a pot of betadine and puts a
sponge into the pot.
DOCTOR:
Now Regan you're going to feel something, a little bit cold and
wet.
He dabs the sponge onto her neck making it a light brown colour.
The doctor then picks up a hypodermic needle and moves toward
her. We can see Chris and Dr. Klein in the viewing room.
DOCTOR:
Okay, now you're gonna feel a little stick here. Don't move.
The doctor injects the needle into Regan's neck.
DOCTOR:
Good.
He then picks up a a needle head without the syringe, and moves
toward her.
DOCTOR:
Okay, you're gonna feel some pressure here, now don't move.
The doctor places the needle into the hole he made with the
syringe. Regan is quietly yelping in pain, and Chris is in pain
watching her daughter suffer. The doctor takes the tiny cap from
the needle, Regan's clothing is squirted with blood and places a
tube into the needle's head. We see the blood rush from Regan's
neck through the tube. The male nurse then tapes Regan's chin
down to prevent her from moving. The nurses then move in a huge
machine, two pieces either side of Regan's head and a piece
above. The lights fade out in the theatre and all we can see is
Regan's face illuminated by this huge machince above her.
DOCTOR:
Hook up.
We see a finger flip a switch and the machine comes to life. A
guy in the view room pushes another button and the machine lets
off several loud bangs. In the theatre we can see Regan crying.
INTERIOR- HOSPITAL- X-RAY ROOM- DAY
We see an X-ray slide of Regan's skull appear on an illuminated
screen. Then several more appear one after the other. We see Dr.
Tanney is controlling the slides as he examines them, Dr. Klein
is with him.
