The Quiet Ones

Professor Joseph Coupland:
What is the supernatural? Hm? Anyone?

Female Student:
Like ghosts or spirits or devils?

Professor Joseph Coupland:
Those examples.

Female Student:
Actions or events which we can not explain through science.

Professor Joseph Coupland:
Good. Before the discovery of a pathogenic theory of medicine, people believed that sickness was caused by evil spirits. Show of hands - if you get sick, who here would rather see a priest before a doctor.

[students laugh]

Professor Joseph Coupland:
Who here believes in God? Heaven? Hell? The apocalypse? Ghosts? Really? No one here believes in ghosts? interesting.

Professor Joseph Coupland:
What if you could prove that the supernatural was merely a manifestation of what already exists in the mind, the subconscious?

Professor Joseph Coupland:
We cure one patient, we cure all mankind.

Professor Joseph Coupland:
Your job would be to document every step of the experiment. I hope you don't scare easily.

Krissi Dalton:
We can't have non-believers in this house, Brian. It's a destructive energy in a constructive space.

Professor Joseph Coupland:
Why do I get the impression this is about to get unpleasant?

Professor Joseph Coupland:
Take your hands out of his trousers now, please.

Krissi Dalton:
Joseph, I'm scared.

Professor Joseph Coupland:
It means you're alive.

Phillip:
You know, killing a young woman is a wonderful way to create a ghost.
