    I think I saw this in the new version. No idea why such an important line would be cut?

    It was either Blatty or Friedkin saying something to the effect that it broke the pace and explained too much. I have a totally different view on it and think there is probably no better way to describe such atrocities in this world.

    Howdy,

    Perfect line! I remember it too and I wish that it hadn’t been cut from the original. Father Merrin should have a little liquor in his coffee for what he’s about to take place in! 🙂 It looks like we are all zoning in on the TE:TVYNS, but I understand that WB wanted to cut the movie to two hours, so we were a little confused and gypped when the original came out I guess.

    I’m so hardcore into this movie, that I can’t single one out. Let’s see–probably: “(Karras) Do you want to hear the background of the case first, Father? (Merrin) “Why?”

    I also like “It wants no straps.” The most unnoticed, underrated line in The Exorcist. Brilliant.

    I actually say this one a lot to friends and family:
    “I love to talk film; to… critique…”

    Also, the way Kinderman says “Oh I know, I realise…” to Chris in her kitchen before going on about the fungus and penicillin.

    Cap, that’s great! HAHA. 😛

    Incidentally, I’m reminded of my old band-names-inspired-by-the-film thread. 😛

    “The response, please, Damien!” -Merrin

    “88 doctors…!” -Chris

    “I lied.” -Kinderman
