Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit Page #6

Hallelujah

Play it. Alma!

Go ahead. Girl!

Great googa mooga

Can't ya hear me talkin'to ya

- Just a ball of confusion

- Oh, yeah

- That's what the world is today

- Oy, vey

- Ooh.

- That was boo!

- So. What did you guys think?

- Well. It was okay.

What do you mean. "it was okay"?

What about you?

- It was cool for what it was.

but it wasn't all that.

- I mean. Iook who was singin'.

Yo. Word up. And to who. Man? A bunch

of nuns singin' to old biddies. Yo.

There was two guys in the fourth row

that didn't even applaud. G.

- Hey. Save that seat for me

back there. Okay?

- They was dead. Stupid.

Look. Sis. I think we should

just 86 this choir thing.

I mean. Some of us actually

got reps to think about.

Hey. Yo. Word up. If we start wearin'

robes and singin' hymns and all that...

- My homeboys are gonna think

we're a bunch of punks. Right?

- Slim. That's not true. Man.

- And I ain't with that.

- That's not really true.

'Cause in Nigeria. Singin' and wearin'

ceremonial robes is a mark of honour.

- Oh. Man!

- In fact. It was...

- Spare us Roots, man!

All I'm sayin' is. Can't we sing

somethin' that ain't gonna get

the crap kicked out of us. Yo?

Now. I understand you gotta

think about your image...

'cause image is very important

to everybody.

Because. Of course. Your friends

are gonna dictate your actions...

through your life. So. Hey.

I wouldn't want you to step away

from them and be an individual.

That would almost

be too much.

But I will say this to you.

When these ladies get on the bus...

do not disrespect them.

do not embarrass me.

'Cause it ain't easy to get up and sing

in front of people like yourselves.

- Hey.

- Nice job. Ladies!

- Good job.

Very good.

He's funny. Uh-oh!

- I smell trouble.

- Think so?

Check it out.

- Hey. Father Thomas. What's happenin'?

- Well. What's happening is...

I've been sent to give you a message

like I'm working for Western Union...

instead of the

Roman Catholic Church.

Well. Don't tell me

you have to sing it.

Oh. That's very funny. I'm sure

you still won't be as humorous...

after you talk to Father Maurice

who wants to see you right now!

Sister. During school hours.

we are responsible for the children.

They can't go on a field trip

without parental consent.

Okay. I'll buy that.

I made a mistake. I'm sorry.

It will never happen again.

Indeed. It won't.

because from right now...

authorized or unauthorized

field trips are cancelled.

Bu... But why?

Sister. In a very. Very short time.

St Francis will close for good.

I'd like that time to be safe

and pleasant for everyone concerned.

Do I make myself clear?

- Yes. Abundantly.

- Thank you.

- You heard him say that?

- Just now?

- Yo. Just a second ago. You know.

- St Francis can't be closin'.

My family dropped out of high

school like suckers. Man. And

I refuse to go out like that.

You know what. We could

take 'em higher with the choir.

so to speak. It could be dope.

We. We need to exhibit

some pride in ourselves...

- Like Paul Lawrence Dunbar wrote. Right?

- Oh. Yeah.

- Yeah. It ain't all that.

- Oh. Oh. Okay.

Okay. Okay. See? See. That's

what I'm talkin' about.

That's what's wrong

with y'all young kids today.

Y'all don't wanna listen.

Okay. Okay. See?

See? Y'all go ahead and walk

away. Y'all supposed to be

my brothers and sisters. Man.

Don't y'all realize how much

they took from us?

Yo. Sketch. You know what

I'm talkin' about. Right. Man?

Come on. Man. They stole our land. Man.

and our name and our mother. Man.

- Yo. Mr Johnson. You know

what I'm sayin'. Right?

- Get your butt a job. Boy.

I don't believe this. Man.

Brother try to wear the clothes...

- Try to walk the walk...

- Get your little butt outta here.

and can't even understand

the talk. Man. I know y'all

understand me. Man. Come on.

This used to be

the old music room.

The acoustics in this room

are incredible.

You can't buy them.

- Oh. Iook.

- It's like a monster's crypt.

Oh. God. This is gross.

Oh. No. This is wack.

This is wack.

Come on. You guys.

I'd hate to see those spiders...

get into those weaves I know

some of you are wearing. I can tell.

Let's go.

Go. Go. Go.

C'mere. C'mere. Bugs.

Now. Does anybody

play an instrument?

I can play piano.

- C'mere.

- Yeah. Right.

- He can play that?

- Oh. He can. Wait.

l-It. It. It still has

some sound in it.

Gimme an "A" on this.

see if it works.

See? Very nice.

Very nice.

Okay. Let's see.

Sketch.

"Mary Had a Little Lamb."

- Go ahead. Sing it.

- Yo. I don't sing. I rap.

Yeah. That's right.

I rap. Too.

But you wouldn't know anything

about that. Now would you?

Oh. Well. Excuse me.

Fran-kay. Hey-ho.

I happen to be a big fan

of Run D.N.A.

Run D.M. C... my sister.

Run D.M.C.

He got it. It was a joke.

Will you lighten up? Look.

I like Big Daddy Kane. Okay?

Will you just rap

for me. Please?

Oh. You wanna hear

"Mary Had a Little Lamb." right?

- Yeah.

- Check it.

- Mary had a little lamb.

- Feet was white as snow.

- Her. Her. Her fleece. Yo.

- Oh. Okay.

- Okay. Mary had a little lamb.

- Her fleece was white as snow.

- And yo. And everywhere that Mary went.

- The lamb was sure to go.

- Boo. Yeah! Boo. Yeah.

- Boo. Yeah!

Not bad.

So. We'll go on.

Ahmal. Sing for me.

- Come on. Ahmal.

- Come on. Ahmal.

Mary had a little lamb

Lamb

Yeah!

A little tentative. But hey.

we can work on that. That was very nice.

Well. You know. Shaka Zula said

word sounds have power.

Yeah. Well Chaka Khan said.

"It's my thing." So what?

Tanya. Let's hear it.

"Mary had a little lamb."

Mary had a little lamb

That was beautiful!

Go ahead. Girl.

You just saved that lamb's life.

No lamb chops tonight. Huh?

Very nice.

What do you say we try it.

just for fun. As a group?

Huh? You up for that?

On three...

Give me an "A."

He's so multitalented.

isn't he?

- That was very nice

the way you did that.

- Well. Thank you.

Yes. All right. On three.

One. Two. Three.

Mary had a little lamb

Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay!

Maybe I went a little

too fast for you.

Okay? We'll. We'll go back

and take it nice and slow.

Uh. Maria. Let me hear

"Mary Had a Little Lamb."

Come on. Maria.

- What's the matter?

- C'mon. Maria. What's up?

- Come on. Maria.

- She's shy. She's just shy.

What?

l-I don't know

"Mary Had a Little Lamb."

- Oh.

- Oh. No!

Hey. Hey. Hey.

hey. Hey. Hey.

- Hey. Excuse me!

- It's not funny.

- It is not Maria's fault...

- No?

if she does not know

that Mary had a lamb.

It is not.

and I say this to you...

it is not Maria's fault...

because maybe. Maybe where

Maria came from. Mary had a dog.

- Yes!

- Or a little kitty cat.

Or a little baldheaded brother

named Bart.

It is not her fault

that she doesn't know it...

and we're not gonna hold that

against her. Are we?

- Nah!

- No. We are not.

You sing whatever it is
