Father Lucas Trevant
- Father Lucas Trevant: You be careful, Michael.
- Michael Kovak: Why?
- Father Lucas Trevant: Choosing not to believe in the devil won't protect you from him.
- Father Lucas Trevant: The interesting thing about skeptics, atheists, is that, uh, we're always looking for proof, certainty. The question is what on Earth would we do if we found it?
- Michael Kovak: "We?"
- Father Lucas Trevant: Oh, yes. There are times when I experience a total loss of faith - days, months when I don't know what the hell I believe in - God or the devil, Santa Claus or Tinker Bell - but, uh... you know, I'm just a man. I'm a weak man. I have... no power, yet there's something that keeps digging and scraping away inside me. Feel's like God's fingernail - and, uh, finally I can take no more of the pain, and I get... shoved out from the darkness back into the light. Something like that.
- Father Lucas Trevant: Faith becomes you. Stay with it. Keep fighting the good fight with all thy might.
- Michael Kovak: Cool.
- Father Lucas Trevant: Get out of here.
- Father Lucas Trevant: Tell me... does a thief or a burglar turn on the lights while he's robbing your house? No. He prefers you to believe that, uh... he's not there. Uh, like the devil, he prefers you to believe that he doesn't exist.
- Michael Kovak: Gets complicated when no proof of the devil is somehow proof of the devil.
- Father Lucas Trevant: Yeah.
- Father Lucas Trevant: [heading toward an exorcism] You do not speak to it. It's the devil. You leave that to me. Do you understand?
- Father Lucas Trevant: Cool.
- Father Lucas Trevant: D'you understand?
- Michael Kovak: Yeah, I get it.
- Father Lucas Trevant: Well,, just SAY so. Bow your head, keep praying, and good luck.
- Father Lucas Trevant: The terror is real, Michael. It's real, but you'll only defeat it when you believe. So... so go now, lock me up. Go now! Lock me up!
