- Is this the green room?

- I guess it is. Yeah.

- Wow!

Yoo-hoo. Hello!

- Father Thomas! It's us.

- Hi!

Oh. My goodness!

You're here!

Well. Colour me surprised!

We weren't expecting you.

The kids are gonna burst

when they find out you've come

to support them. Come on.

I'm here with the other Fathers. But we

didn't come to support the children.

Father Maurice and Mr Crisp...

are going to pull them

out of the competition.

- Well. Why?

- Why... Why would they want to do that?

Because it turns out Sister Mary

Clarence isn't a sister at all.

She's a Las Vegas showgirl.

- A showgirl! Well!

- Can you believe it?

Who'd have thunk? Ha... She has

so many nunlike qualities.

Not to mention

the whole outfit. Ha.

- Yeah!

- Yeah. She d...

Father Maurice and Mr Crisp

are looking for them right now.

Oh. My! Really.

Well. That's. Uh. That's interesting.

I think that's a very good idea.

and I think that we should

go look for her. Too.

- Good idea. I do. Too. Oh. I agree.

- You two coming? Yeah.

- Okay. Bye-bye.

- See ya.

Ever singing

march we onward

- Yo. They got it goin' on.

- And look at those robes. Man.

We gonna look like suckers. Man.

You know what? All of a sudden

I don't feel so good.

In the triumph

Song of life

Yes. Very good. Yes.

Please welcome

the Captain High School...

Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey.

Why aren't you guys ready?

- Well. You saw that other choir.

- We can't win against them.

Mary Clarence.

Yo. He's right. If we go out there.

we'll be laughed off the stage.

And I didn't come this far

to be embarrassed.

And they sang our number.

and they sang it much better.

We're not goin' on.

We're goin' home.

So because you think

they sang it better...

y'all are ready to leave

'cause you got scared.

Oh. Yeah. No. That's your M.O.

See. That's how y'all operate.

"Ooh. Somethin' new.

Better run away."

Forget about all the people

who busted their butt...

to get you here

'cause they believed in you.

Let me remind you

of somethin'. Okay?

If you wanna go somewhere

and you wanna be somebody...

you better wake up

and pay attention.

Because if every time something scary

comes up you decide to run...

y'all are gonna be runnin'

for the rest of your lives.

Damn.

You guys. She is right.

Yeah. And if we gonna do this. We gotta

be slammin'. You know what I'm saying?

In the still of the night

has just been brought to my attention.

Something that I'm afraid... Well.

But I just have to say that...

Well. You...

I. L... I almost

didn't recognize you.

saying something about. Uh.

sacramental wine again. Father?

Uh. Uh. Mr Crisp.
