Joey and Willy are very confident about this solution.

They strut off, pleased with themselves.

EXT. LAS VEGAS AIRPORT - NIGHT

Eddie strides out of the airport; he took a later flight

than the nuns. A squad car is waiting; Clarkson beckons

him.

CLARKSON:

Lieutenant!

Eddie jumps in the car. Clarkson turns on the red bubble

light and the SIREN, and the car zooms off.

INT. STORAGE ROOM - NIGHT

Joey and Willy return to the storage room, looking

confident of their mission this time. Christy glances up

at them as they enter, and Willy begins to untie her.

WILLY:

We got it all worked out.

He works the ropes free, and Christy rubs her wrists to

get circulation back again.

JOEY:

Okay, Christy -- strip.

CHRISTY:

What?

JOEY:

That... thing. That nun thing. Take it

off.

Christy suddenly drops to her knees and begins to pray.

WILLY:

What's she doing?

JOEY:

She's praying.

CHRISTY:

And God bless Joey and Willy, who are

only trying to do their jobs.

(faking Latin)

Pox fibula tibia vobiscum. Et marcus

domino's pizza. Have mercy. Amen.

(she looks up at the

guys)

I'm finished now. Help me up.

As Joey and Willy bend down to help her up, Christy

suddenly grabs their neckties in each hand. With a fierce

jerk, she pulls the neckties with all her might, smashing

Joey's head against Willy's.

Page 109.

Stunned, Joey and Willy stagger backward, holding their

heads. Christy scrambles out the door while the two men

groan in pain.

INT. CORRIDOR

Joey and Willy burst out of the room with guns drawn. At

the far end of the corridor, they spot a glimpse of black

clothing as Christy starts down the stairs.

JOEY:

There she goes! she's taking the stairs

I:

They run quickly after her.

INT. STAIRWAY

Christy runs down the stairs as a SHOT rings out. Christy

screams and runs even faster.

INT. CASINO

A door swings open into the casino, and Christy appears,

looking frantic. A MUFFLED SHOT is heard behind her, and

she sprints into the casino.

Seconds later, Joey and Willy appear.

JOEY:

Find Vince and tell him what happened.

I'll take this side of the room.

Willy hurries away to find Vince, and Joey starts

searching the crowd.

EXT. THE MOONLIGHT HOTEL AND CASINO

Three cabs ROAR up in front of the building and nuns

tumble out.

INT. CASINO ENTRANCE

The nuns enter the casino and stop dead in their tracks.

Before them is a large room filled with glitter and sin,

the SOUND of jackpots and crap tables.

MOTHER SUPERIOR:

Brace yourselves, Sisters.

In unison, the nuns all cross themselves.

MOTHER SUPERIOR:

Spread out and look for Mary Clarence.

Try to blend in.

The nuns spread to every part of the room, looking for

Christy.

INT. CASINO

A blackjack table; a game is in progress, with several

players. Mary Patrick rushes up to the table.

MARY PATRICK:

Excuse me -- has anyone seen a nun?

MARY ROBERT:

A Benedictine.

The CROUPIER and the players stare at the two nuns.

INT. CASINO

Christy is making her way past a roulette table.

Suddenly, she sees Joey coming toward her, making his way

through the crowd. Christy grabs the arm of a SALESMAN

playing roulette.

CROUPIER:

Place your bets.

CHRISTY:

(to the Salesman)

Red 21.

SALESMAN:

You sure? How do you know?

Christy looks up to heaven.

SALESMAN:

(to the Croupier)

Red 21.

Joey stands at the opposite side of the roulette table,

glaring at Christy. The crowd around the table watches

Christy for a moment, then they all put their chips down on

Red 21.

Joey starts working his way around the table toward

Christy as the Croupier spins the wheel. The ball falls

into a slot.

CROUPIER:

Black 14.

Everyone at the table turns toward Christy, outraged. She

gives them a reprimanding look.

CHRISTY:

Did you learn something?

Christy suddenly realizes that Joey is almost at her side.

She shoves the Salesman against him and runs away.

Page 111.

INT. CASINO

We see two long rows of slot machines, with gamblers

working every machine.

Willy appears at one end of the row, scanning the area for

Christy. He sees a nun crossing at the far end of the row,

and she moves out of sight. Willy heads in that direction.

Someone hits a JACKPOT behind him, and he turns toward the

sound. As he does. he sees another nun crossing at the

opposite end of the row of machines. Willy turns again --

now he sees three nuns crossing at the opposite end. He

looks confused, and doesn't know which way to turn.

EXT. PARKING LOT - NIGHT

Eddie drives up in the squad car and parks near the back

door.

EDDIE:

(to Clarkson)

Close off the block, but don't move in

till I tell you.

Eddie jumps out of the car and hurries inside.

INT. BLACKJACK AREA

As Christy moves past a blackjack game, she suddenly sees

Vince moving toward her. Turning quickly, she moves away

from Vince, but suddenly sees Joey coming toward her from

the opposite direction. Trapped for a moment, she has

panic in her eyes. Suddenly she is flanked by Mother

Superior and Mary Patrick.

CHRISTY:

What are you doing here?

MOTHER SUPERIOR:

Saving you. Move!

The nuns surround Christy and head through the crowd in a

cluster. Joey and Vince pursue them from different

directions. Just before they catch them, Mother Superior

barks an order.
