Quotes 

• Paul Kovalik : You don't need a priest, Mr. Farlee. You need a parachute.

• Paul Kovalik : I'm going to open a bottle of it right now. It might not make me happy. But it will amuse me to think of all of you back here worrying about your lives... as though they were of some importance.

• Manya : Paul, do you know what she's talking about?

  Paul Kovalik : The Droata, Mrs. Pinder?

  Mrs. Pinder : Of course. The Druids.

  Paul Kovalik : Believe it or not, here we are in the last half of the Twentieth Century, under these circumstances, and what are we worrying about? The grotesque practices of a primitive cult that was stamped out before the coming of Christ.

  Mrs. Pinder : Not entirely, Mr. Kovalik. There are still Druids.

  Paul Kovalik : Yes, of course there are. And there are still witches and Satanists, and those who believe the Jimson weed can make them immortal. There's never been any shortage of idiot things to believe in or idiots to take them up on it.

• Paul Kovalik : The defrocked priest, delight of the armchair analyst. 'Where did you lose your faith?' ' I didn't; it lost me.'

  Sheila O'Neill : I'm frightened. Can you help me?

  Paul Kovalik : I'm sorry. I'm fresh out.

  Sheila O'Neill : Aren't you afraid?

  Paul Kovalik : Of dying? I gave that up along with the rest of my illusions.

  Sheila O'Neill : I don't understand you. Those are only words.

  Paul Kovalik : Words, yes. We talk a lot of words in my Church. It keeps us from asking why we can't have one sign, one tiny, infinitesimal sign to sustain us in the darkness.
