Father Lamont I've flown this route before. It was on the wings of a demon.

Father Lamont Father Lankester Merrin died in Georgetown, near Washington, D.C., while attempting to exorcise a 12-year-old child, Regan MacNeil. The name of the spirit that possessed her was Pazuzu, an Assyrian demon traditionally known as the king of the evil spirits of the air. Father Merrin had first encountered this demon in Ethiopia forty years earlier, when it possessed a young African boy. Father Merrin believed the human spirit was on the threshold of a great leap forward—either into goodness or evil. His teachings inspired many disciples, of which I was one, and his death dispirited us deeply. So it was that four years later, I climbed a hill in South America with a heavy heart, for it had fallen to me to carry on Father Merrin's struggle.

Pazuzu No! Once the wings have brushed you, you're mine forever!

Older Kokumo If Pazuzu comes for you, I will spit a leopard.

The Cardinal You're in dire need of prayer. I suggest you make a retreat.

Father Lamont A retreat? Why not an advance?
