The Conjuring

Any questions?
 * [first lines; 1968 – The Annabelle Case – we hear the voice of a young woman talking to paranormal investigators Ed Warren]
 * Debbie: It scares us just thinking about it. When you hear it, you’re gonna think we’re insane.
 * Ed Warren: Try us. Please, from the start.
 * [we see a creepy old looking doll facing the screen]
 * Debbie: It started out small, like a hand or a leg was in a different position. And its head was looking up instead of down. And then one day it was in a completely different room. It was moving around by itself.
 * Debbie: Did you ever think that maybe somebody had a key to your apartment and was just playing a trick on you?
 * [we see two young women and a young man sitting on a couch]
 * Debbie: That’s exactly what we thought, but never once did we find any sign or evidence of intrusion.
 * Lorraine Warren: And these led you all to believe that the doll was possessed?
 * Debbie: Yes. Camilla got in touch with a medium. We learned from her that a seven year-old girl named Annabelle Higgins had died in this apartment. She was lonely and took a liking to my doll. All she wanted was to be friends.
 * Camilla: When we heard this, we felt really sorry for her. I mean we’re nurses, we help people. So…we gave her permission to move into the doll.
 * Ed Warren: Wait. You did what?
 * Camilla: She wanted to live with us by inhabiting the doll. We said yes.
 * Debbie: But then things got worse.
 * [we see flashback to one night when Debbie and Camilla are returning home from work, as they open the door they find a note on the floor which has the message “Miss me?” written on it in red crayon, the look up and see the doll placed on floor down the hall]
 * Camilla: God.
 * [they start walking towards the doll]
 * Debbie: When we came home, she was sitting in the hallway. But we had left her in the spare room.
 * [the girls notice red crayons in the doll’s hand, the girls enter the spare room and find the room trashed and the walls covered in red crayon with the word “Miss Me?”, Debbie picks up the doll and starts walking out of the apartment]
 * Camilla: Debbie! Debbie, wait!
 * [Debbie throws the doll and the note into the garbage dumpster; later that night the girls are woken by a loud banging on the front door, Debbie opens the door but finds no one there, only the note they had found earlier, then they hear a loud banging coming from the spare room, Camilla goes to open the door and has a horrified look on her face as she sees what’s inside]
 * Debbie: We were beyond terrified. We don’t know what’s going on or what to do. Can you help us?
 * Ed Warren: Yes, we can. But firstly, there’s no such thing as Annabelle. And there never was.
 * Lorraine Warren: Ghosts don’t possess such a power. I think what we have here is something extremely manipulative. It’s something inhuman.
 * Ed Warren: It was a big mistake acknowledging this doll. And through that the inhuman spirit tricked you. You gave it permission to infest your lives.
 * Camilla: What’s an inhuman spirit?
 * Ed Warren: It’s something that’s never walked the earth in human form. It’s something demonic.
 * Debbie: So the doll was never possessed?
 * Lorraine Warren: No, no. It was used as a conduit, it was moved around to give the impression of possession. Demonic spirits don’t possess things, they possess people. It wanted to get inside of you.
 * [the footage featuring the ‘Annabelle Higgins’ case ends]
 * Ed Warren: Alright, that’s good, Drew. You can shut it down now. Hit the lights.
 * [we see the Warrens standing before a class of students]
 * Ed Warren: So we get the church to send a priest over to perform a blessing on the house and the occupants. Whatever was oppressing that apartment was no longer with them.
 * [most of the students hands go up, Ed points to student]
 * Ed Warren: Yes.
 * Student #1: Where’s the doll now?
 * Lorraine Warren: Some place safe.
 * [more students put their hands up and Ed points to another student]
 * Ed Warren: Yep.
 * Student #2: So, what are you guys? I mean, what do people call you?
 * Ed Warren: Uh…well, we’ve been called demonologists, that’s one name for us. Ghost hunters, paranormal researchers…
 * Lorraine Warren: Kooks.
 * [the students laugh]
 * Ed Warren: Wackos.
 * Lorraine Warren: But we preferred to be known simply as Ed and Lorraine Warren.
 * [the screen pauses as text scrolls to explain that Ed and Lorraine Warren solved many cases since the 1960’s, Ed was the only non-clergyman recognized by the Vatican as a demonologist while Lorraine was a gifted clairvoyant. There is one case of theirs that has been too shocking to reveal until now]
 * [1971 – Harrisville, Rhode Island; the Perron family arrive at their new home]
 * Roger Perron: Here we are.
 * [Roger and Carolyn get out of the car]
 * Roger Perron: Wow. You hear that?
 * Carolyn Perron: I don’t hear anything.
 * Roger Perron: Exactly.
 * Carolyn Perron: Oh, okay!
 * [Carolyn laughs and turns to the girls sat in the back seat of the car]
 * Carolyn Perron: Okay. Guys!
 * [their oldest daughter, Andrea, gets out of the car looking less than thrilled]
 * Andrea: Oh, God. We’re in the middle of nowhere.
 * [the Perron family enter their new house, the girls rush inside, looking excited, apart from Andrea]
 * Andrea: So, do I get to pick my own room or do I have no choice in that either?
 * [Andrea stomps into the house]
 * Carolyn Perron: Well, first cute boy she’ll meet, she’ll forget about Jersey.
 * Roger Perron: Oh, great. Can’t wait.
 * [Carolyn chuckles and enters the house, Roger looks at their dog sitting on the porch]
 * Roger Perron: Come on, Sadie.
 * [the dog doesn’t move, but stares into the house]
 * Roger Perron: Sadie, let’s go.
 * [the dog is still reluctant to go inside]
 * Roger Perron: Hey, come. What’s the matter with you?
 * [Roger grabs hold of the dog’s collar and tries to drag inside, but the dog just whines and remains seated]
 * Roger Perron: Hey, come on, girl. Alright, suit yourself.
 * [Roger leaves the dog sitting on the porch and enters the house]
 * [later that day the Perrons are moving their boxes and furniture into the house]
 * Nancy: Coming through! Woh. Watch out, Dad.
 * Moving Man: Where do you want it?
 * Roger Perron: Uh…that goes into the living room.
 * Cindy: Hey, Andrea. Where’s my wind chimes?
 * Andrea: Uh…I think Nancy’s got it in the other room.
 * Cindy: Oh, thanks.
 * [Cindy runs into the living room]
 * Cindy: Hey, Nancy, have you seen my wind chimes?
 * Nancy: This?
 * Cindy: Yeah. Give it to me!
 * [Nancy holds the wind chime up and playfully holds it away from Cindy]
 * Cindy: Nancy, let go! Give it here!
 * [Nancy gives the chime to Cindy]
 * Cindy: You’re mean.
 * [Cindy enters the kitchen]
 * Cindy: Hey, Mom. Can I hang the wind chime?
 * Carolyn Perron: Of course! There is a line outside you can hang it on.
 * [as Cindy starts to go outside]
 * Carolyn Perron: Honey, have April come in, okay? It’s gonna be dark soon.
 * Cindy: Okay.
 * [Cindy goes out onto the back porch and hangs her chime, she notices April by the lake sitting under a large tree playing with a music box]
 * Cindy: Come on, April. Mom wants you inside!
 * April: Look what I found, Cindy!
 * [Cindy goes back into the house, we then see April open the music box, which plays a tune, April looks in music box mirror then thinking she sees a reflection looks behind, but there’s no one there, Cindy shrugs it off and runs back into the house]
 * [later that night the girls are playing a game where Christine is blindfolded and Nancy and Cindy are spinning her]
 * Nancy and Cindy: One, two, three…
 * [Nancy and Cindy run off as Christine continue spinning blindfolded]
 * Nancy: No peeking!
 * Cindy: Four.
 * [the girls run into Roger]
 * Roger Perron: Are you guys done with the pizza?
 * Cindy: Five!
 * Roger Perron: I don’t want it to go to waste.
 * [to Roger]
 * Nancy: Ssh! Let’s go.
 * Roger Perron: It’s expensive feeding you girls.
 * [Christine continues spinning blindfolded as the other two run off to hide]
 * Christine: Seven, eight, nine, ten. Ready or not, here I come! Okay, clap!
 * [Nancy and Cindy who have hidden around the house clap and Christine follows the sound blindfolded, suddenly she runs into a box]
 * Christine: Woh!
 * Carolyn Perron: Guys, you don’t know the house well enough. Someone’s gonna get hurt.
 * Christine: I’m okay, I’m okay!
 * [to Nancy and Cindy]
 * Christine: Second clap!
 * [Christine turns towards the sound, then Carolyn sees Cindy hiding right behind Christine and she doesn’t clap, she whispers to Cindy]
 * Carolyn Perron: That’s cheating.
