Sister Act Page #30

CHRISTY:

You will be judged, Vincent. We all

will.

Vince stands; the charm hasn't worked. He's getting

angry.

VINCE:

What do you mean -- judged? I don't get

judged, baby.

VINCE (CONT'D)

And who are you to talk? You were

nothing. You couldn't even sing. I must

have been out of my mind.

WILLY:

She's acting weird, Vince. Ever since

we picked her up.

JOEY:

It's spooky. It's like she ain't even

afraid or nothing.

Vince grabs the front of Christy's habit and squeezes it

tightly around her throat.

VINCE:

She's afraid. Come on, tell the boys

you're afraid.

CHRISTY:

(calmly)

I feel sorry for you, Vincent. And I

forgive you.

This really throws Vince, and angers him further. He

glares at Christy, and then releases her. He turns to Joey

and Willy.

VINCE:

Who gives a damn? Waste her.

Joey and Willy look a little unsure as Vince storms out of

the room.

INT. PLANE

The nuns are mesmerized by the bright skyline with its

colorful flashes of neon.

MARY PATRICK:

It's so beautiful...

MARY ROBERT:

And what a lovely name. Las Vegas...

MOTHER SUPERIOR:

And Gommorah.

The plane sets down at the Vegas airport. Mother Superior

and the nuns climb out.

INT. BAR AREA

Joey and Willy find Vince near the bar.

Page 105.

VINCE:

It's done?

JOEY:

Not... totally.

VINCE:

(disturbed)

What's the problem?

WILLY:

She's... she's a nun.

VINCE:

Are you nuts? She's not a nun. It's

Christy. She's a babe!

JOEY:

But, Vince, how do you know she didn't

like, join up and become a nun when she

was in that convent?

VINCE:

It didn't happen.

WILLY:

She was real quiet and peaceful all the

way back in the car.

JOEY:

No smart-ass remarks or nothing.

VINCE:

I can't believe this. Okay, I want both

you guys to go back there, and both of

you shoot her at the same time.

JOEY:

Yeah...

WILLY:

Right. That way we'd never know which

bullet got to her brain and killed her

first. It could always be the other guy.

They all look happy with this solution as Joey and Willy

leave.

INT. STOREROOM

Christy still shows no signs of fear as Joey and Willy

take out their guns.

JOEY:

Okay, we got one-two-three, and on three

we both shoot. Got it?

Page 106.

WILLY:

Got it.

Joey points his gun at Christy's left temple, and Willy

points his gun at her right temple.

JOEY:

One... two...

Christy closes her eyes.

JOEY:

Three!

Neither man shoots. They look at each other with anger.

Christy opens her eyes.

JOEY:

You didn't shoot!

WILLY:

Neither did you!

JOEY:

I figured if you were gonna, then I

wouldn't have to.

WILLY:

That's what I figured, too.

EXT. LAS VEGAS HELIPORT

The nuns leave the terminal and stand on the sidewalk out

front.

MARY ROBERT:

Las Vegas -- she's here somewhere.

MOTHER SUPERIOR:

But where?

MARY PATRICK:

Look! There she is!

Mary Patrick is pointing to a group of billboards that

feature huge ads for the local hotels and casinos. The

center billboard has a splashy picture of a roulette wheel,

the Elvis impersonator, and Christy and the Ronelles. The

bottom part of the billboard shows the name of the

Moonlight Casino and Lounge.

MARY ROBERT:

The Little Sisters of the Moonlight!

MARY PATRICK:

But how do we get there?

Page 107.

MOTHER SUPERIOR:

Stand back.

(she strides into the

road)

Taxi!

INT. CASINO

Once again, Joey and Willy find Vince.

VINCE:

Well?

JOEY:

It didn't work, Vince.

VINCE:

You were both supposed to put your guns

to her head and shoot.

WILLY:

We both missed.

VINCE:

Okay, so the problem is still the nun

outfit, right?

JOEY:

Right.

VINCE:

So, take it off.

WILLY:

(shocked)

Strip down a nun? You want us to fry?

JOEY:

For like, twelve zillion eternities?

VINCE:

I'm telling you, she's not a nun! Get

her out of the nun outfit, and put her in

some clothes.

JOEY:

Maybe pants.

WILLY:

A sweater.

JOEY:

And then we can ice her. No nun, no

evil eye.
