- Cara Harding: Just because you're older, doesn't mean you're right. It could just mean that you've been wrong for longer.
- Cara Harding: I don't want you to be alarmed.
- Mrs. Bernburg: I've raised three boys and said prayers upon their graves. Not much alarms me.
- Cara Harding: Where you raised in any religion?
- David: Ma'am, I was raised in the mountains. God held our hand and the Devil waited for us to fall.
- Dr. Harding: That is a very compelling diagnosis.
- Cara Harding: Thank you very much.
- Dr. Harding: How are you going to prove it?
- Cara Harding: Oh, oh, dad, I'm not going to prove it. I'm gonna cure it.

- Cara Harding: Do you ever have emotions that you can't explain? Have you ever lost control of these emotions? Do these emotions have a name? These were the first three questions that Dr. Malison asked of Joesph Kinkirk, just six hours after his arrest. To which Kinkirk answered: yes, yes, and Henry.
- Cara Harding: Well, how long has he been a patient here?
- Dr. Harding: Couple of days. Since the weekend.
- Cara Harding: That's all?
- Dr. Harding: hmm-hmm
- Cara Harding: You usually like to treat them for a month before you let me pick them apart.
- Dr. Harding: Ah, but this one has a whole new kind of act.
- Cara Harding: Oh yeah?
- Dr. Harding: Enjoy.
- Mrs. Bernburg: Dr. Jessup, why are you here?
- [a long pause]
- Mrs. Bernburg: Your textbooks have failed you, isn't that right?
- Cara Harding: Yes.
- Mrs. Bernburg: So listen. That's why God gave us two ears but one mouth. There's the Devils magic in these hills, that some may try to tend an ailing child or take revenge for a terrible wrong doing. Remember this. Your books may have failed you, but your God has not.
