Stigmata Movie Quotes
[Frankie is possessed by Father Alameida]
Frankie
Jesus said... the Kingdom of God is inside you, and all around you, not in mansions of wood and stone. Split a piece of wood... and I am there, lift a stone... and you will find me.
Father Andrew Kiernan
Brother Alameida, I call upon you to release this woman. Give her grace and let her not come into the ways of harm. For through Jesus Christ we have all been saved and let us not fear any ill. For Jesus is with us, and the Unity of the Holy Spirit will remain forever, and ever. God bless your soul, Brother Alameida. And go in peace.

Hey, you know what's scarier than not believing in God? Believing in him. I mean, really believing in him. It's a fucking terrifying thought.

Frankie
Hi.
Father Andrew Kiernan
Hello
Frankie
You have an appointment, or...
Father Andrew Kiernan
No, I don't.
Frankie
Well, would you like a haircut, a manicure, or maybe you'd like to have your nipples pierced?
Father Andrew Kiernan
[chuckles]
Well, maybe if we start with a trim, we could go from there. Thank you.
Frankie
Come on. Have a seat. All right, here we go.
[puts barber cape on Andrew]
Frankie
I'm gonna put this cape on so you don't get your scratchy neck.
Father Andrew Kiernan
Oh, thank you.
Frankie
So, where are you from.
Father Andrew Kiernan
I live in Rome, actually.
Frankie
Oh, cool.
Father Andrew Kiernan
And you?
Frankie
I'm from Naples.
Father Andrew Kiernan
Ah! Naples.
Frankie
Mmm-hmm
Frankie
Naples, Florida.
Frankie
I moved here to go to school.
Father Andrew Kiernan
Which school?
Father Andrew Kiernan
Oh, Cool.
Frankie
What do I call you? I feel kind of weird calling a guy I could date "Father." Uhh, I mean, I couldn't date you, but... You know.
Father Andrew Kiernan
Oh, no, no, no, you just made my day. Thank you. You can call me Andrew. Andrew Kiernan, that's my name.
Frankie
[after long pause; mouths Donna's name]
I know this is gonna sound kind of strange, but I've sort of been expecting you.

Jennifer Kelliho
[talking about her date]
So uh.. he seemed pretty cool. Divorced, but no kids. But he left the table in the middle of dinner to call his mother in Oregon. Yeah you know, I.. I thought I'd give him a shot. But you won't believe what he did. Every single time he took a bite of his steak, he growled!

Well, I started your first client, and you're booked solid until 7:00.

Cheryl
Hey Frankie
Frankie Paige
[after a long pause,takes off her parka jacket]
Hey I feel like I should do a monologue or something. Hey, Cheryl come on over here and have a seat I'll just be a second.
Cheryl
Um, you know what I think I'm just going to wait for Donna.
Frankie Paige
Ok.
Donna Chadway
She wants to get a second opinion, I think she might have epilepsy.
Jennifer Kelliho
Epilepsy? She doesn't look too good. Why is she even at work?
Frankie Paige
Hey would you guys stop whispering, like this was a goddamn church!

Frankie
So you live in Rome?
Father Andrew Kiernan
Yes, but I travel a great deal, so I'm rarely there.
[Waitress pours him coffee]
Father Andrew Kiernan
thank you.
Father Andrew Kiernan
Well, Father Durning asked us to come and speak to you, Miss Paige.
Frankie
"Us"? Who's "Us"? I thought you were a priest.
Father Andrew Kiernan
Well I am a priest but I'm also an investigator. I work for a division in the Vatican, called the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints.
[Sets down tape recorder]
Father Andrew Kiernan
do you mind if I switch this on?
Frankie
No, go ahead.
Father Andrew Kiernan
Thank you. What is your full name?
Frankie
Frankie Paige.
Father Andrew Kiernan
And your age?
Frankie
Twenty-three.
Father Andrew Kiernan
And which church do you attend?
Frankie
I don't attend church.
Father Andrew Kiernan
But you are catholic?
Frankie
No, I don't go to church 'cause I don't believe in God.
Father Andrew Kiernan
Well, that's really it for me. That's all I need to know Miss Paige.
Frankie
That's it?
Father Andrew Kiernan
Yes. You see stigmatics are deeply religious people.
Frankie
And there's no exceptions?
Frankie
Well, why do they get stigmata?
Father Andrew Kiernan
When Christ died on the cross, he died with five wounds. His back was scourged by whips. There were gashes on his forehead from a crown of thorns. There were nails driven through his hands and feet, and finally a spear driven through his side. Throughout history only deeply devout people have been afflicted with these wounds.
Frankie
Well, why?
Father Andrew Kiernan
There really is no satisfactory scientific explanation. All stigmatics are haunted by such intense spiritual pain, in some ways it affects them physically. They're assaulted by their own visions of evil. And they manifest this battle in their bodies. The church on the other hand regards it as a gift. A gift from God.
Frankie
A gift? Can I give it back? Listen father can I show you these and you could tell me what you think?
Father Andrew Kiernan
Yes. Yes of course.
[Frankie shows him the wounds on her wrists]
Frankie
Well, what do you think?
Father Andrew Kiernan
It doesn't really matter what I think, Miss Paige.
Frankie
What does that mean?
[She pulls out a cigarette to smoke]
Father Andrew Kiernan
It means officially this is not a case for the church. To say that a self-confessed atheist exhibits the wounds of Christ is a contradiction in terms.
Frankie
Look, you know what? Here.
[Pulls out a piece of paper she wrote on something]
Frankie
read that I found that on my kitchen table the other morning. Now I don't know what that says, but that handwriting is mine.
Father Andrew Kiernan
Well, it's Italian. It says, "Split a piece of wood and I'm there. Lift a stone and you will find me" it's quite beautiful, actually.
Frankie
This isn't beautiful. This is a warning! It means no matter what I do... No matter where I go I can't escape it.
Father Andrew Kiernan
Miss Paige. Miss Paige. Miss Paige. I would really like to help you but I..
Frankie
You know what? you know what?
[Puts on her jacket to leave]
Frankie
this is not going anywhere. You don't know what this is. You can't give me any kind of answer. Coffee's on me. Here.
[Pays for coffee and leaves]
