Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit Page #4

I got the flo'

You all gotta go

So go get your bags

so we can go, ho-ho

Aaah, aah, oh, oh, now

Thank you! Thank you!

- She's back.

- She's back

The question at hand is.

how do we get this nun...

to extricate herself from us

quickly and expeditiously?

In other words.

let's get this nun to run.

Yeah. But I'm not sure

I'm down for this. Man.

- That's like messin' with higher power.

- Yeah. Word up.

Plus. This Sister is like

a sister Sister. Know what I'm sayin'?

- She ain't no sister of yours.

- Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey!

Chill. Okay?

- I heard that.

- Listen. You all. We all

gotta agree on this.

- Are we in or are we out?

- Young man! Picasso!

Keep this job. Get your

butt back in here. Boy.

I guess you know

what that means.

l-I'll stick with the majority

on this one. But I gotta go.

so I'll check y'all later.

- All right. Home.

- All right.

- Peace.

- Adieu.

- Peace.

- See you. Man.

- There's no dialogue. Man.

Come on. What's wrong?

- Rita Louise Watson!

You better get your behind in

this house now. You got homework to do!

Ma! Ma. We're just chillin'!

Rita. Don't make me come

down there after you.

- Listen. Y'all call me tonight

so we can figure out a plan.

- All right.

- Rita!

- See ya.

On second thought. Call me

in the mornin'. Peace. Y'all.

- All right.

- We'll. See ya later. Rita.

Hey. Here she comes.

Well. You look

like my class.

Is. Uh. Something goin' on?

No. Sister Mary Clarence.

I saw a scene like this

once in a horror movie.

They subdued an entire

community by putting some kind

of weird drug in the water.

Is that what's

going on here?

All right. Uh. Today...

I'd like to talk about music.

'cause that's what I am.

I am the music teacher.

and it's what I love.

Now. When you think about

various people and what they like...

you think. Well. This one likes this.

this one likes that.

Me. I'm what you

call eclectic.

- Eclectic?

- What's that?

You plug your box into the wall

and it gives you power. Stupid.

Not electric.

Eclectic. Stupid.

Let me simplify it for you.

When I say eclectic...

what I mean is. I like lots

of different types of music.

Opera. Rock and roll. Rap.

I like it all.

But my favourite.

my absolute all-time favourite...

are the girl groups

from the '50s and '60s.

- Like who?

- Tyler! Shut up. Man!

- What an idiot. Man.

- Ladies and gentleman...

- Tyler. Shut up!

- Let us not badger this man

who wants this information.

- Hi. Are we dumb?

I like Patti LaBelle and the Bluebells.

and I like the Supremes.

- Who are the Supremes?

- Oh. Tyler. Shut up!

You don't need to get

physical with him.

- Oh. You're gonna get

jumped after school. Tyler.

- Yes. It is a shocking question:

"Who are the Supremes?"

- You never heard of Diana Ross?

- Oh. Diana Ross.

- Well. Let me tell you.

They were the premier group.

- Yes!

- Yes!

- As you hear.

your comrades-in-arms say. "Yes!"

Because they

were incredible.

- And what I love

when I think about music...

- About time.

is how you can take

this type of music...

and that type of music

and fuse it together.

- Mmm!

- Fusion.

Yeah. Fusion. I'm really

glad you're into this.

The best example

I can give you. Now...

You got busted!

Fusion! Fusion! Fusion!

Fusion! Fusion! Fusion!

Fusion! Fusion! Fusion!

Goddam it.

Stu...

Oh. Man!

Yeah?

Now. We want you to know

that we understand...

and that you're quite free

to leave whenever you please.

I'm sure you'll be much

better off in show business.

Goodness knows.

the money is better.

I'm sure bright lights and

sequins are far prettier to look

at than anything we have here.

Do you know what I hate

most about this place?

There's nothing to

pick up and throw.

- We understand.

- Yeah.

- Bye-bye.

- Would you like a cup of tea?

Oh. This mustn't happen.

It can't happen.

It would be criminal.

absolutely criminal. If this happened.

St Francis' school and church

have been a beacon of hope...

to the people of this community

for many. Many years.

lf. If they close down

the school. I bet... l...

It would be an absolute

and total disaster.

You're absolutely sure that

there's nothing can be done?

- I'm afraid not. Father.

- I was hoping that maybe...

we could keep it open until

the end of the school year.

- We know it's unfortunate.

- We don't like it either.

The Archdiocese has decided

that St Francis should close...

at the end

of the current semester.

- Why does it have to happen so quickly?

- You're totally in the red...

with very little hope

of recovery.

You must realize.

Father Maurice...

the community contributions

have been nil.

The school has no outstanding

academic or achievement records.

I've been exploring the possibility

of other uses for the property.

- What?

- Yes. And the bottom line

is it's more valuable...

as a parking lot than it is

as a school. I'm sorry.

The recommendation

is to close.

Well. I suppose there's

nothing more to be said.

Well. Thank you.

Mr Crisp. You should be

commended for your work...

and your excellent analysis

of the situation.

Oh. Well. Thank you very much.

But I do wish you'd consider

my application for early retirement.

After all. I have been working

for the Archdiocese doing this work...

for almost 30 years now.

and I would just like my due.

- Why. Absolutely.

- Thank you. Thank you.

- Now let's go out and have

some lunch now. Shall we?

- Excellent idea.

- What?

- What?

- When?

- The end of the semester.

- Where did you hear that?

I happened to be eavesdropping

in s... Father Maurice's office.

and I heard him talking...

- To a bunch of people.

- Oh. We were afraid this might happen.

I've been expecting it

for some time.

- Well. What do we do now?

- Well. We'll probably be reassigned...

and the children will be bused

to a public school in another district.

What a stupid thing to do! This is

the only school left in this community.

Well. We've gotta do

something. Otherwise we're

gonna lose our students...

and we're not gonna

get them back.

Well. Then I guess we are

going to do something.

- Now. You do mean "we." don't you? We!

- Yes. Yes. We!

You mean. You're not leaving?

Listen. I said I was gonna

come and help. Here I am.

- Thank you. Deloris.

- Oh. Just call me M-Mary Clarence.

- Oh. Reverend Mother.

- Oh. Father Maurice.

I'd like to speak to you for

a moment. My mind is consumed

with trying to deal with...

- Oh. Sister Mary Clarence.

- Well. Yes. As a matter of fact.

Mmm. I am familiar

with the dilemma.

I'm told that she presided

at the ecclesiastical equivalent...

of a pep rally

last night.

- Mm. Yes. I am aware of this.

- You are? Well. How did you know?

Oh. You'll find that when one

deals with Sister Mary Clarence...

one is smothered with more information

than one wishes to possess.

Uh. I'm afraid she's

becoming quite disruptive.

Well. Disruption is the way
