Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit Page #8

And we found out that in the past. This

school has won a lot of competitions.

What's the matter with you kids?

Don't you have any faith in yourselves?

- We have faith in you.

- Hollywood.

- W-W-Wait.

Are you sure we're good enough

to compete against other choirs?

I mean. Right now

I don't think so.

Y-You could be if you rehearse every day

before class and after school.

- So. How 'bout it?

- Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Sisters. Sisters!

We need to discuss this.

I mean. What's up. Y'all?

Y'all ready for

an all-state thing?

No. No!

Absolutely not!

- You guys. No. We shouldn't go.

- Oh. Yo! C'mon. Y'all.

Don't be a bunch of punks. Man.

Listen. Nobody has ever cared

what we was good at...

except for Sister Mary Clarence

and her homegirls up there.

you know what I'm sayin'?

- Oh. Fran-kay!

- Her and her sisters

were hookin' us up. Yo.

Plus. We can go to Hollywood.

You know what I'm sayin'? Hollywood!

Wait a minute!

What're we gonna wear?

- Airhead!

- Clothes. Margaret.

You guys. You guys. Come on.

You guys. We owe this to ourselves.

- I think we should do it.

- What about our boyfriends?

- Yeah. Oh. Please. Jessica.

- Well. Y'all.

there may be some all-boy choirs

at this competition.

- We're in.

- We're in.

And I say that if we win this

thing. Then the Archdiocese

is gonna be pleased as punch.

- And maybe we'll have a prayer

to keep this school open. Eh?

- Right.

So. Does this mean we're going

to the all-state competition?

- Yes!

- Yes!

Let's turn this mother out

and rock the house! Dope!

They wouldn't bring drugs

in here. Would they?

- No.

- No.

No. No.

Absolutely not!

How can you keep saying no?

Now. You've heard them.

They're good.

They are so ready for this.

Sister. Once again you've made a promise

to the students that you can't keep.

Now. I told you before. Field trips

are absolutely out of the question!

This is not a field trip. This is

something that can save the school.

- You have my answer.

- And it's the wrong one!

Sister Mary Clarence!

You're being insubordinate.

I know. And. Uh. Surely

you can understand why.

I mean. These kids

have worked so hard for this...

and they're good.

they're really good.

They could win! Y...

This school used to win that competition

every year. Every year they won.

Now. Come on. If they're gonna close

this school. Let's go out with a bang.

Yes. Let her.

Very awesome.

Well...

Very well. Then.

You seem to have

the support of everyone.

So I'll...

I'll give my permission.

You've got to raise

the money yourself.

And you've got to get

parental consent for each child.

I can do that. That is not

a problem. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. My brothers.

Come on.

Again.

Everything

Everything

Joyful, joyful

Joy...

J... Joy...

Fill us with

the light of day

Fill us with

the light of...

Fill us with

the light

- Rita?

- Come and join the chor...

Mighty chorus

Which the mornin'...

Father of love

is rising o'er...

- Ooh ooh ooh

- Rita?

Mama. What are you

doing home so early?

Mrs Gibbs needs me

to do her hair.

- What are you doin'?

- I was just foolin' around

with some stuff.

- Give me that. Please.

- Huh?

Give me that.

And the tape recorder. Too.

What is this?

It's just some music. Ma.

Sister Mary Clarence

wants us to learn it...

for the choir.

Now. Just when were you gonna

tell me that you're in a choir?

Rita. How many times

do we have to go through this?

Singing does not

put food on the table.

Singing does not

pay the bills.

Singing is no guarantee to a future.

even if you have got talent.

- Mama. Did you know I can sing?

- So could your daddy.

And he died

still tryin' to make it.

But what does that

have to do with me?

Mom. We're.

we're a good choir.

They want to take us to this all-state

music competition. We could win.

- We're good.

- Baby. If you want to win in life.

then keep your nose...

- In them books and out of the clouds.

- Mommy.

If you could just listen to me.

Let me explain.

Baby. I know how you feel.

Really. I do.

But there are a lot of talented people

right down there on the streets...

singin' their

"shoulda-coulda-woulda's."

- Now. Is that how you want to end up?

- No. That's not what I wa...

Good! Then you don't have time

for any choir 'cause you got to study.

Mommy. We have a chance

of winning.

The choir and

the competition are out.

- Mommy.

- If you "But. Mama" me one more time...

Now. I said the choir and

the competition is out. You understand?

Yes. Ma'am.

As far as I can tell. With

food and lodging and costumes

and transportation and gas...

- This is gonna cost us about $2.000...

- Oh. My!

which is a lot of money. Ah.

Don't look at me.

I took a vow of poverty.

The only person I can think of

that ever made money as a nun:

Sally Field.

God love her.

$2.000? Might as well

be a million!

I mean. It's absolutely doable.

I just think we have to get

the community involved.

It's about time this community

took care of the school.

- I mean. All the kids go here.

- Yeah. That's true.

- We could have a car wash...

- I think that's the only way.

- Or a bake sale.

- Sister Mary Clarence.

- Hey!

- Oh. Rita. I'm glad you're here.

Um. Would you take one of these

consent forms and make sure

that your mom signs it?

- If we can raise the buckaroos.

- Ha.

Look. I need to talk to you.

I have to quit the choir.

I got a lot of reasons

I can't explain. And I'm sorry;

but I gotta leave the choir.

Give us back our consent form.

- Stop that!

- Well.

Just a minute. Please.

Hi. I'm. Uh.

Sister Mary Clarence. L...

I know who you are.

What can I do for you. Sister?

Well. Uh.

Rita left the choir...

and I was kinda hopin' I could get you

to talk her into comin' back.

Oh. I don't think

I can do that.

You know something. Sister. I really

don't want to discuss this with you.

As you can see.

I've got some work to do.

And. Uh. If you'll excuse me.

good day to you.

Ow!

Hey. We're here to collect

some money from you.

That means we need your help.

We're not playing.

Put that basket out there!

Get that money.

Give that money. Baby.

Give that money.

C'mon. Girls. You do what I do.

- Hey!

- Ahh!

Get up off of that thing

and dance till you feel better

Get up off of that thing

Just try to release that pressure

Sing!

Get up off of that thing

- Go 'head. Girl.

- Dance till you feel better

- Hey!

Try to release

that pressure

Callin'out
