Can you hold? Can you try?
She's a nun, Vince.
I love you, Chris. I always will. I gave you so much. My time. My affection. A bigtime career. And how do you repay me? What's the thanks I get? Where's the loyalty, huh? Where's the love?
And who are you to talk? You were nothing. You couldn't even sing. I must have been out of my mind.
She's acting weird, Vince. Ever since we picked her up.
She's... she's a nun.
Are you nuts? She's not a nun. It's Christy. She's a babe!
We both missed.
Okay, so the problem is still the nun outfit, right?
Where?
Find 'em!
Absolutely not. I am very sorry, but no.
We can save this young woman's life, and imprison a parasite all in one gesture.
But she's been exposed to the underside of life. She is the underside of life.
And therefore an ideal prospect for rehabilitation.
We're a small convent, Bishop. Surely there are... more appropriate shelters.
Your small convent is in danger of closing, Reverend Mother. The Las Vegas Police Department has offered to make a generous financial donation.
But, Bishop...
St. Katherine's is a Benedictine Order. You have taken a Vow of Hospitality. To all in need.
I lied.
I know.
But, Bishop, surely you realize this is a most dangerous neighborhood.
And you'll face that danger headon. As if I could stop you. And you have my complete support in this matter. Anything you can do to revitalize this neighborhood would be a blessing.
I don't understand. Where is she?
Her whereabouts are unknown, and we must proceed without her. Pull yourselves together.
Calm down. Think clearly. Mary Robert, do you have any idea who those men were?
She said they were from her old convent.
But... she was a showgirl. She didn't have an old convent.
Las Vegas she's here somewhere.
But where?
Reverend Mother?
Yes?
Since Mary Clarence came to St. Katherine's, I've been shot at, kidnapped by Mafia hit men, and I've tasted beer. Is that enough experience yet? For final vows?
Is this like your old convent?
Which convent was that, Sister?
Mary Clarence has a background in music. That's what Reverend Mother said.
Really, Mary Clarence? Were you a choirmistress?
We did it! We actually sang a chord!
That was exciting!
He's not like other guys.
He's decent.
He's kind.
I'd rather sing than do anything!
It's better than ice cream.
It's better than springtime.
But, Reverend Mother everyone loves our new style.
It's brought people back to the church.
Ice cream!
Mary Clarence you shouldn't have. Where did you get this?
Mary Clarence, don't be silly. You're an example to us all. You've taught us so much. We're singing for the Cardinals, and then who knows? Maybe the choir can travel to schools, and nursing homes.
Maybe we can get some of the local kids to sing with us.
Mary Clarence! Sister!
It's no use. She just isn't here.
We can't sing without her! What should we do?
We'll pray and she'll be there.
You mean they kidnapped her?
Yes two men and they had guns.
An... entertainer?
She wasn't a nun?
Well, I don't care who she is. We can't sing without her!
She's our inspiration!
It's so beautiful...
And what a lovely name. Las Vegas...
The Little Sisters of the Moonlight!
But how do we get there?
Excuse me has anyone seen a nun?
A Benedictine.
Mary Clarence you're alive!
Christy.
Not a note.
Impossible.
Yes, Mary Patrick?
Reverend Mother, on behalf of the sisters, I'd like to welcome Mary Clarence to St. Katherine's.
Sister Mary Patrick?
Yes?
I need to see you, at once. Girls, please excuse Sister Mary Patrick for a few moments. Mary Clarence?
Mary Clarence how is your weaving progressing?
Oh, she's doing just fine, Reverend Mother
Bless her! There are so many problems in this neighborhood that we could help solve. That's why many of us became nuns. It's marvelous, Reverend Mother.
Really...
She shouldn't have come back. She knew she was in danger.
But why would anyone kidnap a nun?
She told us about one. The Little Sisters of the Moonlight. In Las Vegas.
All right. It's a beginning. Las Vegas, Nevada.
Peace on Earth.
However, we can also pray for other things.
Measles.
Are you going to shoot us all, tough guy?
Is it worth it? A lot of witnesses here.
It should be here any minute.
Dress rehearsal at four, performance at 8:30. Sharp.
We sound terrible We need Mary Clarence.
We're losing it.
Look what she did with the choir. She made us sing beautifully.
That should have tipped us.
We've got to save her!
We can't leave it up to the Feds!
So that guy in the bar was right? She's like... some kind of nun?
Yeah, right when I see it.
She's gettin' away!
