Quotes
-
Dr. Emerson : [Dr. Emerson steps into the garden room]
Molly Hartley : Oh, Dr. Emerson. You got my message.
Dr. Emerson : Message?
Dr. Emerson : I-I called you. I left you a message.
Dr. Emerson : No. No message.
Molly Hartley : Then... what are you... doing here?
Dr. Emerson : Well, it's your birthday party. Of course I here. Just a few more minutes now. So how does it feel?
Molly Hartley : How does 'what' feel?
[the whispers start]
Dr. Emerson : Your new life... We're all here for you, Molly. We've watched you grow. We've chosen 'you'.
Molly Hartley : No!
Dr. Emerson : No?
Molly Hartley : [turns to Joseph] You knew all along? You lied to me? You promised to help me!
Dr. Emerson : He is helping you. We're all helping you. You're the 'one', Molly. Don't you know how lucky you are?
Molly Hartley : [in disbelief] Lucky?
Dr. Emerson : You'll have power like no one before you.
Molly Hartley : I didn't choose 'this'!
Dr. Emerson : Your mother and father made that choice for you.
Molly Hartley : They did it to save my life. That is not a choice!
Dr. Emerson : Of course it is. But human weakness has it's consequences. It always has.
[Robert, Molly's father, badly beaten, is dragged into the room; Molly becomes horrified]
Molly Hartley : [gasps] D-Daddy!
Robert Hartley : I'm so sorry, Molly. I didn't-I didn't mean for any of this to happen.

Robert Hartley : I didn't believe.
Dr. Emerson : We gave you exactly what you wanted.
Robert Hartley : Then take me! It was my mistake. Take me!
Molly Hartley : [kneel down and prays for her sins] God, forgive me. I-I have sinned. I renounce Satan and all of his...
Dr. Emerson : [cuts Molly off] What can God offer you? We've given you everything, you very life. And now you have great power ahead of you.
Molly Hartley : I don't want it!
Dr. Emerson : You will.
Molly Hartley : God always gives us a choice.
Dr. Emerson : Is that what you think? God gives you a choice? Your parents determined your fate. They turned their back on God. They made a pact.
[Dr. Emerson sets the carving knife down in front of Molly]
Dr. Emerson : Maybe if you kill your father, the pact will be dissolved.
Molly Hartley : What?
Dr. Emerson : Of course, I can't offer that choice. But... maybe God can.
