I'm gonna put you in the last place on Earth that Vince would ever look for you.
I hate you. I totally hate you.
Safest place in the world. You think Vince would look for you here?
Nuns, Eddie. There are nuns here. Everywhere. It's crawling with 'em.
It's a convent. All you have to do is shut up, behave yourself, and get along.
With nuns? With rulers? No way. I'm gonna go back, work things out with Vince.
And one bullet. That's all it's gonna take.
But Vince has contacts all over the place! This is San Francisco! They'll be looking for me!
Everywhere but this little holeinthe wall convent. Nobody knows you're here but me. We're trying to get a quick court date. A month, maybe two, tops. I'll spring you as soon as I can.
I can't stay here! I'll crack up! Eddie, what am I gonna do?
Pray.
Eddie, you've got to get me out of here.
Not again. You can't keep calling. Somebody's going to catch on to where you are.
But I'm going insane! All these people do is pray and work, work and pray! I don't get it when's the weekend? They have gruel, Eddie, that's what they call food! Gruel it's like Alpo for nuns! I sleep in a cell, on a board, and I pray five times a days Do you know what I pray for, Eddie, do you have any idea? Check your crotch, Eddie anything fall off yet? Get me outta her!
Calm down. Look, I didn't want to tell you this, but we've had some problems with our protection program lately.
Like what?
Keeping our witnesses alive. We hide them, but there's a leak in the department, and they end up dead.
You sonofabitch!
I just need a few more weeks,
But it's a nightmare! Mother Superior is out to get me! She hates my guts! She keeps thinking up new kinds of torture!
Do you hear that? That choir? Eddie, in here, that's what they call music!
Don't call again. It's not safe. I'll be in touch.
What'd she say?
You blew it big time. She doesn't want you back.
Does she know people are trying to kill me out there?
She's counting on it. She's concerned for your safety, but she wants me to try and find another convent that will take you. Or a carnival.
So what am I supposed to do in the meantime?
Go in and talk to her. It can't hurt. Go.
Eddie! You scared the hell out of me!
What if I was Vince? You'd be dead right now. What are you doing giving interviews on TV?
It wasn't my fault! They just showed up. It's helping the convent.
You're supposed to be hiding out!
I really can't talk about it now. The place is packed. SRO. I've got a show to do.
Listen to yourself. This isn't a career opportunity.
I know that. This isn't about me. It's about the choir. You should hear them. They're good. Really good. And I taught them.
Jesus, look at you You're glowing.
I am?
Yeah. You look... great. I mean it..
Really? Lieutenant?
I've been worried about you.
You mean worried about my testimony?
No worried about you. Personally.
Well.. thanks. I've been thinking about you.. sometimes. I mean, there aren't a lot of guys around here. I mean, sometimes I feel like... a nun.
Me too.
You're not... seeing anybody?
No. Most of the time I'm thinking about you. And now... you've really changed.
I have?
You re sort of... radiant. your eyes are shining. You're rea1ly different...
I've got to go.
Just remember you're a target. Don't you think Vince has a T.V.?
I know, I know. I'll be careful. I'll try.
Vince knows you're here.
How?
Long story. His goons will be here any minute. We've got to get you out of here ' now!
I can't go with you.
What?
I've got a show at St. Matthew's Cathedral. We're singing for the Cardinals.
You're gonna be singing for St. Peter if you don't get your ass out of here!
Eddie I've got to go back. They won't sing without me. I'm deserting them.
I think they'd understand.
That's not the point! They need me!
They need you? A bunch of nuns? For what? Moral guidance? Makeup tips?
You don't get it! It's a big thing for them, it's like... Caesar's Palace. Primetime. They're singing for the Cardinals. It's like... "Star Search." If first prize was a trip to the Vatican. They've worked really hard, they deserve this.
Nuns?
What're you doing?
Even nuns have to pee.
Don't you have a concert to go to?
That depends. Sisters, you don't know this, but Reverend Mother's been making all sorts of noises about resigning. That's bad news. I don't know if we could sing, if we thought that was true.
Yeah, Eddie, thanks a whole bunch. Thanks for sticking me in a convent. So you think, after all this, maybe I really am a nun?
I don't know. There's only one way to be absolutely sure.
Yeah, like what?
A convent? They put me in a convent? What's the problem? Wasn't there any more room in Hell?
What is your full name? Your Christian name?
Mother Theresa. Gandhi. Don't you understand? This is all a mistake. I'm the good guy. I'm the witness. And I'm being punished!
Your name?
Christy. Christy Van Cartier.
Enough joking.
That's my real name! Currently I'm a singer. Sort of.
Very well.
Oh my God. This isn't happening, tell me this isn't happening. It's a nightmare, I'm back at St. Anne's!
St. Anne's?
Parochial school. Akron. St. Android's.
You were unhappy?
I was expelled! When I was fifteen?
The reason?
Beats me! What do you think? Smoking! Heavy petting, without a chaperone. Heavy petting, with the chaperone. And wearing a black bra, under my uniform. The demon bra.
I see.
You see? You see? I have to get out of here I have to make a phone call. Don't you get it? I'm in a convent! You're a nun!
Sit down.
What?
Miss Van Cartier.
What?
Your cigarette out.
It has come to pass.
What?
I joined this convent some thirty years ago. At that time, the world knew some measure of peace. And hope. Our order was a beacon of hospitality, to families, to children, to a neighborhood filled with promise. And, as the years have passed, I have watched that promise destroyed. Drugs. Gangs. Spandex. And. so I have made this convent an oasis, a retreat from horror. And now that horror has invaded these sacred walls.
Are you talking about me?
And all those like you.
You mean black people?
Absolutely not. I mean the wicked. The heedless. And their Las Vegas concubines.
