Quotes 

• [Corinne is worried about her possessed baby] 

  Corinne : He's here because of me.

  Jessica : Don't be silly, Corinne, the devil doesn't even know you.

  Corinne : It's all my fault. He's here because of me, because I slept with everyone in town.

  Mary : Oh Corinne, please. First of all, you did not sleep with everyone in town.

  Corinne : Yes, I did.

  Jessica : Oh, please. Did you sleep with the mayor?

  Mary : Yeah.

  Jessica , Mary : You slept with the mayor?

  Jessica : [disgusted]  Oh my goodness, the mayor. I voted for him.

  Mary : I told you not to vote for him. I told you to vote for Swanson.

  Corinne : I slept with him, too.

  Mary : You did?

  Corinne : Believe me, the best man won.

• Corinne : The only reason I slept around so much is because I was frustrated.

  Jessica : [under her breath]  I'll just bet.

  Corinne : Not like that. I slept with so many men because all I ever wanted was Tim, and I couldn't have him.

• The Devil : Accept me now! Do not resist any longer because you cannot succeed. Your soul is mine for eternity. I have won! Give up and come to me.

  Jessica : We will never give up. Never! There is not a man or spirit in this world or any other that will break my family. We've lived through too much in our lives already to give it up to you! We've lived through sorrow and separation and death and destruction and we're still together because we love each other and love is what holds us together. So, if you intend to stay, we will fight you to the end and let me tell you, we will fight! And with God's help, you will never have us and you will never have this baby! Never! You have come to the wrong house!

  [the devil is driven out, leaving behind a perfectly normal baby]
