Evil
Sundays 10:00 PM on CBSEvil Season 2 Quotes
Kristen: Why are you becoming a priest?
David: Now, there's a segue. [long pause] My mom had me baptized. My dad thought it was idiotic. His life was art and sex. Her life was prayer and mass. I was drawn more to my dad's life. I followed up until, I guess, five years ago?
Kristen: Julia?
David: That's when I knew science didn't really explain life to me. It was like having an instruction manual about how to put together a bike, but when the bike was put together, it didn't explain the bike. Science is best used as science, not as philosophy or religion. That's when I was drawn back to my mom. She seemed to understand.
Kristen: What? Understand what?
David: People do bad. People are bad. They try not to reveal it because Americans are obsessed with purity. They can't even let on that something is wrong, and there's only one solution.
Kristen: Jesus?
David: No. Forgiveness. People apologizing.
David: Does the Vatican believe in alien life?
Father Katagas: The Vatican believes in what exists, and if it does exist, does it change the question of original sin?
Ben: How so?
Father Katagas: If there other beings, could they be free of original sin? Would they not even be aware of what it was? Or are we missionaries, asked to share the gospel as we did with indigenous people in the new world.
Kristen: Look at how well that turned out.
Father Katagas: Yes, it's an easy perch to occupy with your ability to buy what you want, eat what you want. Please, give your property back to the indigenous people. It's an easy thing to do, give your deed to someone who lived here originally. Look into landback.
I was wearing your stupid rosary around my neck as a joke, and then, when I went to bed, it attacked me.
Leland
David: Are you sure you want to go through with this, Ben?
Ben: Are you kidding me? A chance to see God and Keith Moon? Come on. How could I pass that up, right?
Sister Andrea: We need to work harder on your meditations.
David: Why?
Sister Andrea: Our enemy has become more aggressive. We need to prepare.
Kristen: What did you see, David.
David: You.
Kristen: Me? Doing what?
David: Killing LaRoux.
Kristen: [chuckles] Was that heaven or hell?
David: You took an ax, you went to his house, and you killed him.
Well, that's appropriate. We get visions, the visionary gets nothin'.
Ben
David: Monks like Thomas have been watching it since the '30s to keep the cabinet closed.
Ben: Why? What's in it?
David: A demon that wants to destroy the world. That's why the silence. The legend goes that if even one word is spoken within the monastery walls, the demon will be out. And if he's out, he can never be recaptured.
David: Don't take this the wrong way, but I wish there were some things you can't explain.
Ben: There are! I can't explain these people.
Oh my God! This place is so fucking anti-woman!
Kristen
David: They put gags in their mouths when they sleep.
Ben: You're kidding.
David: No, and they want us to do the same tonight.
Kristen: Do you remember that guy, that killer who came here to threaten you?
Lexis: LaRoux.
Kristen: Right. So they want to know if I was here, too.
Lexis: Oh. That's easy. You were.
Kristen: Right. And I know that I sent you to be and later, I came upstairs to tuck you in.
Lexis: Is that what you WANT me to say?
Kristen: No, I'm just making sure that that's what happened.
Lexis: I guess that's what could have happened.
Kristen: You don't remember me coming upstairs, tucking you in about 30 minutes later?
Lexis: No, I do. [hesitant] I guess that makes sense to me.
Kristen: OK. Good. Thanks, Lex.
Lexis: Here's the thing, mom. Ben had put in that alarm system, and you couldn't have left because it would have set off the alarm, right?
