Jonathon Macoon JONATHON [HOWLING] HAROLD What the hell. It's worth a shot. I'll try anything at this point. MARGORIE I'll go call the parish office.

HAROLD Thank you for meeting with us Father. We're hoping you can help us. MARGORIE I'm so sorry I was so emotional on the phone the other day, Father. We're just at our wit's end. Poor Jonathon! FATHER O'DONNELL Not to worry, Mrs. Maccon. There's no doubt in my mind you're having a difficult time of it. I must say, I was a bit...eh, taken aback when you described your son's condition. Quite unusual. I'm not entirely sure what you think I can do for you. MARGORIE Well surely, we could start with an exorcism? Are there any Catholic rituals for dealing with this sort of thing?

We'll convert! We'll pay a tithe! We'll [gulp] go to church every Sunday!
