Actually, you don't need any of the paraphanalia - as far as I know, that applies even in the case of the full Roman Rite major exorcism. (I can't find a reliable text of the rite online; it is restricted to those authorised by the bishop, which is probably sensible). The bigger obstacle is that Ransom isn't a priest.
"Minor" exorcisms are actually just fairly emphatically worded prayer for healing, blessing, protection and deliverance, and don't need any special kit at all, or indeed require the officiant to be ordained, though for obvious reasons, DIY exorcisms are generally discouraged.
Oddly enough, there's actually an exorcism prayer in the baptismal liturgy, though it's quite tactfully phrased, and for obvious reasons I don't call it that when talking parents through the service. But it is, nonetheless, an exorcism.
