Officer on rooftop: Give me your hand. Give me your hand.

Gavin Elster: Scottie, do you believe that someone out of the past - someone dead - can enter and take possession of a living being?

Madeleine: Here I was born, and there I died. It was only a moment for you; you took no notice.

Judy: If I let you change me, will that do it? If I do what you tell me, will you love me?
Scottie: Yes. Yes.
Judy: All right. All right then, I'll do it. I don't care anymore about me.

Gavin Elster: [to Scottie] There's no way for them to understand. You and I know who killed Madeleine.

Madeleine: There is something I must do, there is something I must do.
Scottie: There is nothing you must do. There is nothing you must do.

Scottie: [to Judy, after being taken to the scene of Madeline's death] No, no. I have to tell you about Madeleine now. Right there.
[Pointing]
Scottie: We stood there and I kissed her for the last time, and she said, 'If you lose me you'll know that I loved you and wanted to keep on loving you.' And I said, 'I won't lose you.' But I did.
[pause]
Scottie: And then she turned and ran into the church. I tried to follow, but it was too late.

Scottie: One final thing I have to do... and then I'll be free of the past.

Midge: You want to know something? I don't think Mozart's going to help at all.

Nun: God, have mercy.
