"Girlfriend of a vicious mobster."

Oh. Dear! A gun moll.

Sister Mary Christine...

Uh. Clift...

Uh. Sister...

Sister Mary Fake!

I'll have to call the officials

and remove St Francis

from competition at once!

Well. No. No. L-I don't think

that's such a good idea.

Well. What would you suggest?

Well. She's our responsibility.

I think we should

handle it personally.

Thomas. You don't usually drive.

Perhaps one of us who has

a driver's licence should take...

Nonsense!

Thomas. Uh. Thomas. I know...

I know you're busy.

but see that little stick

on the left there?

- That... That's your turning signal.

- Yeah!

Perhaps... Perhaps the other drivers

wouldn't be so hostile...

if you'd consider using it.

I've had enough of this.

Where in the Sam Hill

did you people learn how to drive?

No! Turn!

- Jackass!

- Thomas! Jesus Christ!

Rita! I'm home.

Rita?

Rita.

Rita?

I can't tell who it is

under all that paint. Hello?

Sister. I hate this thing. I mean. It

does absolutely nothing for my figure.

- Could I wear something tighter

- No. Dear. Listen to me.

You're here to impress those judges

with your beautiful voice...

Come on. Let's go.

you always carry with you...

a little bit of faith and

a big roll of electrical tape."

of lard and you look wack.

Man. I'm just gonna wash it out.

throw up. L-I don't think I can go on.

Just think of it this way:

Never mind how you feel.

Yeah. But there's so many here.

How we going to find them?

Oh. Well.

We just look for the choir

- They're like an army.

...sadness

Drive the dark of doubt away

Giver of immortal...

- Notice.
