And I am refusing. As of tomorrow, Mary Lazarus will resume her leadership of the choir.
And on such an occasion, I feel a completely traditional program will be best.
What do you mean?
The council of Cardinals is perhaps the most esteemed body in the entire Catholic church. They command the utmost respect. Your more... secular entertainment would be wholly out of place.
Isn't that why we were asked to sing for those Cardinals?
I believe this can be settled by a simple vote.
A vote?
Of course. Mary Clarence, a convent is not a totalitarian state. Most major decisions are made by the membership as a whole. A membership that, I am certain, will vote in a rational and pious manner. All those in favor of allowing Mary Clarence to select a program?
But... wait a minute...
The majority has spoken.
You sent for me?
You have a phone call.
Hey your prayers have been answered. I'm leaving. In just a couple of days.
Really. Well, that makes two of us.
What?
I have submitted my resignation to Bishop O'Hara. Privately. I have asked to be relocated as soon as possible.
But why?
I must go where I can be of use.
But there's so much more to do right here. And look, if it's about me, I mean, I'm gone.
Indeed. After how long? A few weeks? I have been here thirty years. And yet, it would seem, I know nothing.
But everything that's happening is good! You can be a part of it!
A part of what? Mary Clarence, it is one thing to rabble rouse, to sweep into town and declare a holiday. You have raised the Sisters' expectations, you have excited and confused them. They imagine this neighborhood to be some sort of delightful ongoing block party.
You and I know that life is not so simple. There will be disappointments. Rude shocks. And you will have vanished. How... fortunate.
Okay, so I just got things started. But you could build on that. You could keep it going.
I am sorry, Mary Clarence. I seem to have misplaced my tambourine. Good day, Mary Clarence.
But...
Good day.
What are you doing here?
Saving you. Move!
Reverend Mother Thankyou.
Oh?
You saved my life.
I'm a Christian.
Then I guess you're stuck. Life sentence. No parole.
Very well. I hold you responsible for all of this, For introducing a lounge act into my convent. For utterly disrupting our way of life. And for placing all of us in mortal danger. Thankyou.
I don't think so. What about skydiving? A crank call to Billy Graham?
You have evidenced great maturity, Mary Robert. We shall have a serious discussion.
What about me, Reverend Mother? I think you were right. I'm just a bad influence. Sister show biz.
Perhaps not. Perhaps we can all use... a little Spandex.
Really? And maybe shorter habits, and women priests, and sleeping late?
Don't push it.
Come on, we're late.
What? What time is it?
It's after five. We have to bathe.
Five a.m.?
What? What does she want now? I did the dishes. I oiled the pews. I dusted the hymnals. Two hundred hymnals. Why can't people share?
I... I...
What?
I... I brought you something.
A cigarette?
An extra heel of bread. Please take it, you need your strength. You've been working so hard.
Thanks. So which one are you? Sister Bruce? Sister Doug?
Mary Robert. I'm... Mary Robert.
Right. Okay. Bob. Nice to know you.
So, Bob, how long have you been in? St. K's?
Three years. Sister.
Three years. A rookie.
A novice.
Yeah, like a learner's permit, right? When do you hit the big time? You know, when do you take the final vows?
You have to help me
Right, sure, but what's the problem? Are they keeping you a prisoner here? Do they drug you? Did Reverend Mother like, kidnap your parents? We can call the Enquirer.
No, you don't understand I don't want to get out! I want to get in?
Excuse me?
Oh. Mary Clarence, I'm so unworthy. I want to take my final vows, I would do it tomorrow, but Reverend Mother won't let me!
She won't? Why not?
She says I should wait. She says that no one should become a nun as an escape from life. She says that I'm not experienced enough to make the decision yet. In a mature manner.
She said that? Reverend Mother?
Well, then there's only one thing to do.
What?
Reverend Mother says you need experience, right, in life. In order to make a responsible decision. This is going to be very painful for me. You know how much I love this little room. This whole convent. Wait.
We must do this sacred thing, Mary Robert.
Of course! We must do it! It's the will of God! What is it?
We must... get you some experience. We must... leave this place.
Are you sure?
Mary Clarence!
Now you.
We need experience.
It's part of St. Katherine's new community outreach program. How old are you? You shouldn't be smoking. Have you ever seen a diseased lung? Hand 'em over.
Bobs
Experience! Right?
Right.
I have to do this. So I can become a nun.
Initiation. You understand. Later on, we make her wear her underwear on her head.
Really?
Who are all these people?
This is your neighborhood. Your turf. You should get to know 'em.
I'm getting experience.
You watch yourself!
Those people are wonderful! Why don't we ever see them in church?
Good point. Especially that dude you were with. I'd like to see him down front.
Mary Clarence! You're so... different from the other sisters. Sometimes, well... sometimes you sound more like a layperson.
Honey.
I can't wait to tell Reverend Mother about all my experiences. I've learned so much.
Well, you know, you don't have to tell her everything. I mean, nothing really happened. We just... took a walk.
Mary Clarence!
Keep moving!
Goddamn it!
Mary Clarence!
Oh my Lord!
Experience!
