George Dabernon: When does a man die? Who knows what happens in the moment of death? The soul doesn't die, simply leaves the body. But what if it didn't? If it went on living in a dead body? A prisoner, in a body decaying around it. Is it possible? What is possible?
Anna Robinson: Hugh was not dead.
George Dabernon: If it weren't for you, this would never have happened. He's possessed, isn't he? Possessed by you. You're a witch, trafficking with the Devil. You have conjured an evil spirit into his dead body.
Anna Robinson: My love for him has given him life.
George Dabernon: It's revolting. His flesh is cold. Dead. There is no pulse. No heartbeat. Hugh's body is rotting. It is disintegrating, hour by hour. And something must be done. Now!
Anna Robinson: Why don't you just go away, leave us alone?
George Dabernon: I'll prove it to you.
[he sets fire to Hugh's hand]
George Dabernon: He fears nothing. He feels nothing.
Anna Robinson: [On seeing Hugh's hand burning sensibly] Oh, God!
George Dabernon: [George extinguishes the flame] I tell you, he's dead.
George Dabernon: [Hugh approaches George] Anna!
Anna Robinson: Hugh! Sit down. Please. Just sit down.
George Dabernon: Unbelievable. Unbelievable. At the trumpet sound, the graves shall be opened, and the dead shall rise again. I know what we must do. We must take him to a priest.
Anna Robinson: A priest?
George Dabernon: Exorcism. Exorcism. This spirit must be exorcised.
Anna Robinson: And then?
George Dabernon: And then he can rest. He can be at peace.
Anna Robinson: He will die.
George Dabernon: Yes.
Anna Robinson: And then it will be over. Everything.
Hugh Dabernon: [overdub] It will be alright, Anna. Don't stop him.
[Hugh walks towards the door]
George Dabernon: You see? He wants it too. He wants to be free. We must go, Anna.
Anna Robinson: I can't go with you.
George Dabernon: Believe me, it's the best thing for all concerned. He died; up there on that beach in Scotland. He died.
