Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit Page #5

Mary Clarence communicates.

I worry about raising

false hopes among the children.

Advise me. Reverend Mother.

Eh. Tell me about your experiences

with Mary Clarence.

No. I wouldn't want

to frighten you.

Well. In my experience.

I found it easier...

and ultimately

quite effective...

to give Mary Clarence

a free hand.

Aren't her ideas

extremely radical?

If I remember correctly...

the term "radical"

was applied to us in our day.

Or have you forgotten the trouble

we caused Bishop O'Malley?

Oh. Yes. Bishop O'Malley.

Give Mary Clarence a chance.

If the school is on

the road to closure...

at least she'll make it

an interesting ride.

Good morning. Ladies and gentlemen.

Please take your seats.

Do it quickly and quietly.

Welcome to the first day

of your new scholastic lives.

This is no longer a bird course.

The bird has flown.

If you want to pass this course...

you gonna have to earn it.

'cause I have no problems...

not one. Failing

each and every one of you.

- Yo. I never thought

this was no bird course.

- I'm glad for you.

Very. Very glad.

'cause this is a new day.

- Things are going to be

a little different around here.

- Oh. Yeah?

- Uh-huh.

- Like how?

Like when I talk.

Fran-kay. You don't.

Is this somethin' you wanna share

with the rest of the class?

- No. I'm just kickin' it with my girl.

- Well. I'll tell you what.

You gonna kick it with me. Or I'm gonna

kick you out. What you think of that?

- Goddam.

- Cold.

- Put 'em away.

And you. This is not

Elizabeth Arden. Miss Thing.

You want to beat that mug

of yours. You do it at home

before you come to my class.

You understand me?

Put it away.

And you. Sketch. I like you

a lot. But I don't want you...

- Catchin' Z's in my class no more.

- I be tired. I got a job l...

Baby. Save it for Oprah.

This is a brand-new day.

ladies and gentlemen. A brand-new day.

We're gonna start with respect.

You're gonna respect me.

and I'm gonna respect you.

And the first thing you're gonna do.

gentlemen. Is take off those hats.

This is a brand-new day.

I guess that means you're

gonna be combin' your hair

before you come to my class.

And I know you laughin'

over there. So you think

this is very funny. Miss Thing?

There is no sun in this room.

You will not get a tan.

Take off those sunglasses.

That goes for you too. If they're

not prescription. I don't wanna see 'em.

I want to see you.

I want to look into your eyes.

I want you to be able

to look into mine.

Yes. Miss Watson?

We don't want no new way.

The old way was fine for us. Right?

- Right.

- That's right.

Okay. So if you're gonna fail us.

then you might as well go ahead...

'cause. Um.

I ain't doin' nothin'.

Fine. That's how you feel.

there's the door.

Don't let it hit you

in the butts on your way out.

Yo. Yo. Sis. I can't

afford to fail this class.

Hey. You better tell your friends

you can't afford to fail this class.

My parents

wouldn't be pleased.

Come on. Y'all. We. We ain't gotta

take this from her. Come on.

Shi... Sketch.

come on, man.

- Fran-kay?

- Yo. Rita. You know I'm usually

down for stuff like this...

but. Yo. I'm gonna take care

of business this time.

A little lonely out on that limb

by yourself. Miss Watson?

So much for friendship.

If you wanna be somebody

If you wanna

go somewhere

You better wake up

and pay attention

All right. Let's get down to business.

ladies and gentlemen.

You wanna go somewhere

and you wanna be somebody...

you better wake up

and pay attention. Honey.

'cause the real world is out there.

And they don't care

how hip you think you are...

or who you kick it with.

It don't matter.

If you don't have an education.

you don't have anything.

And that's the truth. Honey.

If you wanna be somebody

If you wanna

go somewhere

You better wake up

and pay attention

- Pay attention, wake up, baby

- You gotta wake up,

But we cannot do it by ourselves.

We need the help.

I mean. We're here for the children.

right? If not for them. For who?

Look. Let's start

with the curriculum. Okay?

Let's talk about boring.

I can barely stay awake

to teach it.

I have some good ideas

for goosing up sex ed.

And what are we gonna do

about the graffiti? It's awful.

I mean. Not that a bucket

of paint couldn't fix it.

- I'd love to see us teach new math.

- Yes!

No. No. You've got to face facts.

We're closing down.

Yes. We may be closing.

but we're not closed yet.

So why don't we go out

with a little class?

Come on. People.

let's hear it again.

If you wanna be somebody.

if you wanna go somewhere...

you better wake up

and pay attention.

- Come on. Make me believe

what you're sayin'.

- Can we waken this up a little?

- Well. Yeah. If you think you can.

- Okay. Dionna.

If you wanna be somebody

If you wanna

go somewhere

You better wake up

and pay attention

If you wanna be somebody

If you wanna

go somewhere

You better wake up

and pay attention

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute!

Talk about a wake-up call.

Where did this come from?

Well. This is

a music class. Isn't it?

Yes. This is a music class.

Are you tellin' me you guys can sing?

No. Really. That was great! My...

I just figured out how I'm gonna get you

through this music class.

Oh. No. Really?

Yes. Yes. I'm gonna

turn you guys into a choir.

Nope!

Come on. I mean. Most choirs

are just a bunch of people...

singing wack songs

that nobody care about.

Maybe not.

Maybe not.

Quickly. Sit down.

Let's go. Let's go.

Quit chewin' that gum.

You look like Mr Ed. Sit down.

Where'd these kids come from?

Ladies. Come right in. Come right in.

Watch your footing.

You know what to do.

Good to see you.

- You know all about these people.

- Oh. Yes.

You know where to go.

You ready. Alma? Hello!

You ready. Alma?

Alma! Turn the pack on.

- You ready?

- Yes.

- Ready. Ladies?

- Yes!

Five. Six...

Five. Six. Seven. Eight!

Because of the colour

of the skin

Run, run, run

But you sure can't hide

An eye for an eye

A tooth for a tooth

Vote for me
