have any time to chat.

- Well. Maybe a little chat.

We do have to get back. Though.

We're teachers now. It's a school night.

Teachers.

And really it's all because of you.

I mean. You inspired us to...

to go out into the community and.

and do some good in the hood.

Oh. My.

- Wow!

- Can I get you guys

something? Sit down.

- No. Mighty 91.

- No.

Can they even hear you in the back

of the room when you're teachin'?

Oh. I'm getting better at it.

Oh. We're teaching...

at St Francis Academy

in San Francisco.

I went to that school.

Oh! It was... Oh! Ooh!

They need good teachers.

trust me.

Well. We're having

a barrel of laughs.

- Although the kids sometimes

get a little unruly.

- Just a little.

Actually. They're

out of control.

It was so bad last week

Sister Mary Patrick frowned twice.

Ooh. Goodness!

- Oh. Now let's get down to business.

- Oh. Excuse me.

- Any matters of business

have to go through me. See...

- No. Excuse me. Excuse me.

- These are my friends.

I'm talking to them.

- L-l-I would like...

- I'm talking to my friends.

- Well. I just want to talk about the...

- I'm talking to my friends now.

- I am your manager.

- Forgive us. Excuse me.

- Go ahead. No.

Thank you. Now. Come on. You guys.

You come up here. You come to see me.

What's going on? Does Mother Superior

really know you're here?

She sent us on

this mi-mission to...

The Reverend Mother said we're

not to come back without you.

Well. What does

she want? What's...

Well. We're not entirely certain.

But we know that she needs you...

and she wants us to come

and bring you back.

Well. Is she okay.

I mean. Health-wise?

- Is she in danger? What?

- Oh. No. She's fine.

- No. She...

- Well. She's a little desperate.

- She's desperate?

I'll get it! I'll get it.

I'll get it. It's all right.

What. What?

What. What?

Oh. Sit. Sit. Sit.

sit. Sit. Sit.

Welcome.

Oh. Welcome.

Welcome.

It's good to see you.

Good to see you.

Oh. Sister Mary Clar...

Oh. I do apologize.

Deloris.

- Uh-huh.

- It's so good to see you. Too.

But I'm sorry I couldn't join

the Sisters in Las Vegas.

I've heard you are

truly a spectacle.

Well. Yeah. You know.

I work at it.

You're probably wondering why I asked

the Sisters to bring you here.

I am a little curious.

What's all the mystery?

Well. You see. Deloris...

we need your help here...

at St Francis.

We seem to have got in

slightly over our heads.

What do you want?

Help us by

becoming a teacher.

A teacher? Me?

Oh. No!

Listen. I'm not cut out

to be a teacher.

Who would I teach?

What would I teach?

Teach the children.

Teach music.

You weren't cut out to be a nun

either. But look what you

accomplished at St Katherine's.

You brought a new spirit

into the convent and into the community.

You were infectious.

You could be just

as infectious here.
