1
00:01:18,662 --> 00:01:24,085
"And now, ladies and gentlemen, the Stars Desert Inn Hotel, Las Vegas,

2
00:01:24,251 --> 00:01:27,546
presents the final performance

3
00:01:27,713 --> 00:01:31,717
of the incomparable
singing sensation,

4
00:01:31,884 --> 00:01:33,719
Miss Deloris Van Cartier."

5
00:02:41,078 --> 00:02:44,790
But my mama told me,
you better shop around!

6
00:02:45,374 --> 00:02:48,002
So that's what I did. I shopped.

7
00:02:48,252 --> 00:02:50,337
I shopped and I shopped.

8
00:02:50,629 --> 00:02:53,007
And I found something special.

9
00:02:53,883 --> 00:02:56,427
I got myself a brand-new hustle.

10
00:03:24,663 --> 00:03:28,584
See how they treat me?
He got my cousin, he got my coat.

11
00:03:28,751 --> 00:03:31,003
When I tried to get it back,
he whipped out this...

12
00:03:56,153 --> 00:03:57,780
Magic!

13
00:04:00,032 --> 00:04:02,493
You know this song. Let's sing.

14
00:04:10,751 --> 00:04:12,419
She's coming!

15
00:04:22,429 --> 00:04:25,182
These are my friends.
Ladies, sing this for me.

16
00:04:27,017 --> 00:04:31,146
Come up and join us. Come on, come on.
And hurry up. Ladies!

17
00:04:43,534 --> 00:04:44,535
Look out!

18
00:04:56,463 --> 00:04:57,548
What you doing?

19
00:05:25,034 --> 00:05:27,119
Thank you!

20
00:05:27,536 --> 00:05:29,621
You were fantastic!

21
00:05:30,289 --> 00:05:31,915
Oh, my! Nice outfit.

22
00:05:32,082 --> 00:05:34,001
Glad I didn't wear mine.

23
00:05:34,168 --> 00:05:36,503
That last bit was great.

24
00:05:36,670 --> 00:05:39,631
I'm a big fan. I got your album.

25
00:05:39,798 --> 00:05:42,134
This is my manager, Joey.

26
00:05:43,761 --> 00:05:46,805
- What do you want?
- Are you represented?

27
00:05:46,972 --> 00:05:50,059
They're nuns. God represents them.

28
00:05:50,434 --> 00:05:53,896
Can God get you your own
dressing room? You were great.

29
00:05:54,063 --> 00:05:55,105
She taught me to sing.

30
00:05:55,272 --> 00:05:59,526
I am so glad to see you guys.
What are you doing here?

31
00:05:59,693 --> 00:06:01,570
We came to see you.

32
00:06:02,196 --> 00:06:03,530
Staying a long time?

33
00:06:03,697 --> 00:06:07,368
We'll be back on the road tonight.
We don't have any time to chat.

34
00:06:07,534 --> 00:06:12,289
Maybe a little chat. But we do have
to get back. We're teachers now.

35
00:06:13,499 --> 00:06:17,836
It's all because of you. You inspired
us to go out into the community

36
00:06:18,003 --> 00:06:21,298
and do some good in the hood.
Oh, my!

37
00:06:22,257 --> 00:06:25,427
Can I get you guys something?
Sit down.

38
00:06:26,970 --> 00:06:30,182
Can they even hear you in the back
of the room when you're teaching?

39
00:06:30,349 --> 00:06:32,101
I'm getting better.

40
00:06:32,267 --> 00:06:36,146
We're teaching at St Francis Academy
in San Francisco.

41
00:06:37,106 --> 00:06:41,151
I went to that school. It was...
They need good teachers.

42
00:06:41,318 --> 00:06:43,278
We're having a barrel of laughs.

43
00:06:43,445 --> 00:06:48,992
Though the kids get a little unruly.
Actually, they're out of control.

44
00:06:49,159 --> 00:06:52,621
It was so bad, last week, Sister Mary
Patrick frowned - twice!

45
00:06:55,624 --> 00:06:57,751
- Let's get down to business.
- Excuse me.

46
00:06:57,918 --> 00:07:00,462
- Business goes through me.
- No, excuse me.

47
00:07:00,629 --> 00:07:04,091
These are my friends.
I'm talking to them.

48
00:07:04,258 --> 00:07:06,677
- I'm talking to my friends.
- I'm your manager.

49
00:07:06,844 --> 00:07:09,596
- Forgive us. Excuse me.
- Go ahead.

50
00:07:09,763 --> 00:07:11,014
Thank you.

51
00:07:11,181 --> 00:07:14,226
You come up here,
you come to see me. What's going on?

52
00:07:14,393 --> 00:07:16,145
Does Mother Superior
know you're here?

53
00:07:16,311 --> 00:07:18,647
She sent us on this mission to...

54
00:07:18,814 --> 00:07:21,275
We're not to come back without you.

55
00:07:21,442 --> 00:07:22,693
What does she want?

56
00:07:22,860 --> 00:07:23,902
We're not certain.

57
00:07:24,069 --> 00:07:27,614
But she needs you
and wants us to bring you back.

58
00:07:27,781 --> 00:07:29,741
Is she OK healthwise?

59
00:07:29,908 --> 00:07:32,870
She's fine. She's a little desperate.

60
00:07:33,036 --> 00:07:35,038
She's desperate?!

61
00:08:02,274 --> 00:08:04,359
<i>I'll get it! I'll get it!</i>

62
00:08:13,494 --> 00:08:16,121
- I'll take it.
- What?

63
00:08:16,580 --> 00:08:19,082
Sit, sit!

64
00:08:39,102 --> 00:08:40,521
Welcome.

65
00:08:46,777 --> 00:08:50,405
It's good to see you.

66
00:08:50,572 --> 00:08:55,369
Sister Mary Claren...
Oh, I do apologise. Deloris.

67
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,081
It's so good to see you too.

68
00:08:59,248 --> 00:09:03,168
I'm sorry I couldn't
join the sisters in Las Vegas.

69
00:09:03,335 --> 00:09:06,296
I've heard you are truly a spectacle.

70
00:09:06,463 --> 00:09:08,840
Well, I work at it.

71
00:09:09,007 --> 00:09:12,844
You're probably wondering
why I asked the sisters to bring you.

72
00:09:13,011 --> 00:09:15,639
I am curious. What's all the mystery?

73
00:09:16,306 --> 00:09:21,061
Well, you see, Deloris,
we need your help here...

74
00:09:23,230 --> 00:09:25,190
at St Francis.

75
00:09:25,357 --> 00:09:29,278
We seem to have got in
slightly over our heads.

76
00:09:30,904 --> 00:09:33,073
What... do you want?

77
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,410
Help us by becoming a teacher.

78
00:09:37,703 --> 00:09:43,584
A teacher? Me? Oh, no!
I'm not cut out to be a teacher.

79
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:45,669
Who would I teach?
What would I teach?

80
00:09:45,836 --> 00:09:48,839
Teach the children. Teach music.

81
00:09:49,006 --> 00:09:53,510
You weren't cut out to be a nun
either, but at St Katherine's

82
00:09:53,677 --> 00:09:57,055
you brought a new spirit
into the convent and the community.

83
00:09:57,222 --> 00:10:01,560
You were... infectious.
You could be as infectious here.

84
00:10:01,727 --> 00:10:04,521
You're making me
sound like a disease.

85
00:10:04,688 --> 00:10:10,652
We are struggling with a community
that is tired, worn and despairing.

86
00:10:10,819 --> 00:10:14,656
We saw this school
as some sort of renewal.

87
00:10:14,823 --> 00:10:18,243
But it's becoming
a hopeless situation.

88
00:10:19,620 --> 00:10:23,999
We have nowhere else to turn.
We are desperate women, Deloris.

89
00:10:25,208 --> 00:10:28,879
- We need you.
- I'm...

90
00:10:29,046 --> 00:10:31,089
Think of the children.

91
00:10:31,965 --> 00:10:37,346
We must invest in their future.
And who better to help us than you?

92
00:10:38,221 --> 00:10:39,514
I'm a lounge singer.

93
00:10:39,848 --> 00:10:41,433
You are the perfect example

94
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:46,772
of how a sow's ear
can be turned into a silk purse.

95
00:10:50,025 --> 00:10:53,528
Well, I probably wouldn't
have put it quite like that.

96
00:10:53,695 --> 00:10:56,907
I mean, my career's
started to take off.

97
00:10:57,074 --> 00:10:59,409
I want to get into my success.

98
00:10:59,576 --> 00:11:02,412
A success you might not have had

99
00:11:02,579 --> 00:11:08,168
without the help of supportive
friends who shall remain nameless.

100
00:11:09,211 --> 00:11:11,588
So you're gonna be like that
with the guilt?

101
00:11:11,755 --> 00:11:16,551
Guilt? I would never use guilt.
I'm a nun.

102
00:11:17,386 --> 00:11:19,805
All right, I'll do it for you.

103
00:11:19,971 --> 00:11:23,475
Thank you.
I knew we could count on you.

104
00:11:23,642 --> 00:11:25,185
You're talking about a week?

105
00:11:25,352 --> 00:11:30,440
I don't think we should restrict
ourselves to a time frame.

106
00:11:30,607 --> 00:11:32,651
Sisters!

107
00:11:35,779 --> 00:11:38,949
Deloris has agreed
to join our teaching staff.

108
00:11:39,950 --> 00:11:41,827
Could you take her
to the changing room?

109
00:11:41,993 --> 00:11:44,496
Sure. Absolutely.

110
00:11:46,039 --> 00:11:48,083
Tell me why I'm
dressed like this again.

111
00:11:48,250 --> 00:11:50,585
The fathers here are very strict.

112
00:11:50,752 --> 00:11:55,132
If they found out you weren't a nun
or a teacher, they might...

113
00:11:55,298 --> 00:11:57,467
- Ask me to leave?
- In a New York minute.

114
00:11:57,634 --> 00:11:59,636
Now I'm undercover again.

115
00:11:59,803 --> 00:12:02,180
- It could be fun.
- Convent living's grim.

116
00:12:02,347 --> 00:12:04,641
All I need's a bed
and a place to kneel.

117
00:12:04,808 --> 00:12:07,310
Wait till you see
what we have in the room for you!

118
00:12:07,477 --> 00:12:11,398
You didn't do something silly!
What did you put in it, a bidet?

119
00:12:11,565 --> 00:12:13,859
- A bi-what?
- Never mind. What is it?

120
00:12:14,025 --> 00:12:15,819
A watched pot never boils. Wait.

121
00:12:15,986 --> 00:12:19,322
- Don't tell her. It's a surprise.
- Oh, come on.

122
00:12:19,489 --> 00:12:22,367
One, two, three.

123
00:12:30,333 --> 00:12:32,419
Curtains!

124
00:12:35,505 --> 00:12:38,717
Sometimes it resembles
a battleground at recess.

125
00:12:38,884 --> 00:12:41,928
Mostly, the kids are well behaved.

126
00:12:45,390 --> 00:12:46,850
A new nun.

127
00:12:47,017 --> 00:12:51,938
Sister Mary something or other.
I'm terrible with names.

128
00:12:52,105 --> 00:12:54,649
- Who was that?
- The older one is our principal.

129
00:12:54,816 --> 00:12:58,987
Father Maurice.
The other is Mr Crisp.

130
00:12:59,154 --> 00:13:01,072
He's only been here a few months.

131
00:13:01,239 --> 00:13:03,909
I think I've seen her
somewhere before.

132
00:13:04,075 --> 00:13:05,786
Just long enough to hate us.

133
00:13:05,952 --> 00:13:10,457
The kids call him the devil.
He's just got the grumps.

134
00:13:10,624 --> 00:13:13,543
I don't care who he is. I just want
to put the top up on my car.

135
00:13:13,710 --> 00:13:15,629
If there's a car left.

136
00:13:15,796 --> 00:13:18,173
What did she mean? Is that a joke?

137
00:13:18,507 --> 00:13:22,677
I'd like you to join me
in welcoming the new addition

138
00:13:22,844 --> 00:13:26,223
to the teaching staff,
Sister Mary...

139
00:13:26,389 --> 00:13:28,433
Clarence.

140
00:13:30,852 --> 00:13:33,021
Who will be teaching our...

141
00:13:33,188 --> 00:13:36,733
- Music.
- Is there still a music class?

142
00:13:36,900 --> 00:13:40,904
- In a manner of speaking.
- Why is he asking that?

143
00:13:41,071 --> 00:13:45,826
Sister Mary Clarence
will be teaching our music class.

144
00:13:49,830 --> 00:13:53,750
Now, I think each of you
should introduce yourselves.

145
00:13:53,917 --> 00:13:55,460
I'll start.

146
00:13:55,627 --> 00:13:58,129
I'm Father Ignatius. I teach math.

147
00:13:59,714 --> 00:14:03,009
<i>I'm Thomas. Ave, magistra nova.</i>

148
00:14:04,135 --> 00:14:06,179
- Latin teacher.
- Oh, good.

149
00:14:06,346 --> 00:14:07,347
Excuse me.

150
00:14:07,514 --> 00:14:12,102
This is Mr Crisp.
This is Sister Mary Clarence.

151
00:14:12,269 --> 00:14:14,312
Oh, yes, the new nun.

152
00:14:15,939 --> 00:14:18,775
Sister Mary Clemens.

153
00:14:19,985 --> 00:14:25,657
Clarence. Like in Thomas.
I'm the music teacher.

154
00:14:25,824 --> 00:14:27,909
The music teacher. Music?

155
00:14:28,076 --> 00:14:29,995
You're gripping me-

156
00:14:30,161 --> 00:14:32,080
Oh, yes. Sorry.

157
00:14:32,247 --> 00:14:35,417
Yes, I just stopped by

158
00:14:35,584 --> 00:14:39,546
to remind you
of our meeting this afternoon.

159
00:14:40,463 --> 00:14:44,551
Well, pardon the intrusion,
and bon appétit.

160
00:14:46,094 --> 00:14:48,054
<i>Gruss Gott.</i>

161
00:14:48,221 --> 00:14:49,598
This is Father Wolfgang.

162
00:14:49,764 --> 00:14:56,563
Who cooks so diligently
to minister to our dietary needs.

163
00:14:56,730 --> 00:14:59,900
For luncheon,
Bratwurst a la Provence.

164
00:15:00,859 --> 00:15:04,613
He only knows how to cook one thing.
German sausage.

165
00:15:04,779 --> 00:15:07,490
Liverwurst, Bratwurst, Bierwurst.

166
00:15:07,657 --> 00:15:09,117
It's the worst!

167
00:15:10,619 --> 00:15:11,786
Oh, no, no!

168
00:15:12,787 --> 00:15:15,457
Jenny Craig. I just couldn't.
Thank you.

169
00:15:26,051 --> 00:15:28,595
This... needs a prayer.

170
00:15:41,608 --> 00:15:46,738
Sister Clarence, I wonder if I could
have a word with you in private.

171
00:15:46,905 --> 00:15:48,990
No, I need to...

172
00:15:49,157 --> 00:15:50,283
No, please.

173
00:15:52,410 --> 00:15:54,496
Sure.

174
00:15:57,082 --> 00:15:59,167
Thank you.

175
00:16:04,339 --> 00:16:06,424
Won't you sit down?

176
00:16:06,675 --> 00:16:10,095
The sisters tell me your last posting

177
00:16:10,261 --> 00:16:15,183
was at a women's prison facility
in the Louisiana bayou.

178
00:16:15,350 --> 00:16:17,686
- What?
- It wasn't?

179
00:16:17,852 --> 00:16:21,022
No, no, it was, it was.
Yes, of course.

180
00:16:21,189 --> 00:16:24,859
The prison was really rough on me.

181
00:16:25,026 --> 00:16:31,157
I'm trying to wipe this experience
from my mind. It was so traumatic.

182
00:16:31,324 --> 00:16:33,451
- Really?
- Yes.

183
00:16:33,618 --> 00:16:36,746
They led me to believe
that you enjoyed it.

184
00:16:36,913 --> 00:16:41,126
Well, yes, I did. It was a traumatic
enjoyment of an experience

185
00:16:41,292 --> 00:16:46,423
that I should not have had
and appreciated because I'm a nun.

186
00:16:46,589 --> 00:16:49,384
Nuns are not meant to have
enjoyable experiences

187
00:16:49,551 --> 00:16:52,887
because they lead to
all kinds of situations,

188
00:16:53,054 --> 00:16:57,350
which is why I'm here.
I know you understand that.

189
00:16:57,517 --> 00:16:59,978
Well, I do see what you mean.

190
00:17:00,145 --> 00:17:01,896
I knew you would.

191
00:17:02,063 --> 00:17:04,941
As I do with all my new teachers,

192
00:17:05,108 --> 00:17:09,362
I'd like to share
my theories about education,

193
00:17:09,529 --> 00:17:14,242
gleaned from my years
of experience as the principal.

194
00:17:14,409 --> 00:17:16,453
I am an open book.

195
00:17:16,828 --> 00:17:18,913
Discipline.

196
00:17:24,127 --> 00:17:27,005
Anything else to go with that?
That's it? Discipline?

197
00:17:27,172 --> 00:17:32,260
Unfortunately, that's all
we can expect here. Any questions?

198
00:17:34,512 --> 00:17:38,892
No, I feel as though
I have absorbed all I can from you.

199
00:17:39,100 --> 00:17:41,186
Well, then.

200
00:17:41,728 --> 00:17:44,314
I wish you good day...

201
00:17:44,481 --> 00:17:46,399
and good luck.

202
00:17:46,566 --> 00:17:50,320
Thank you, Your Eminenceship.

203
00:17:57,077 --> 00:17:58,620
OK.

204
00:17:58,787 --> 00:18:01,331
Your Royal Pappyness.

205
00:18:04,542 --> 00:18:06,377
- Piece of work, isn't he?
- A prison?

206
00:18:06,544 --> 00:18:09,756
You lied to me
and you're gonna go to hell!

207
00:18:14,928 --> 00:18:19,224
Vocant.
They call, are calling, do call.

208
00:18:19,390 --> 00:18:20,475
<i>Voco.</i>

209
00:18:20,642 --> 00:18:22,644
I call, am calling, do call.

210
00:18:22,811 --> 00:18:25,814
Vocas. You call, are calling,

211
00:18:25,980 --> 00:18:28,024
do call. Voco...

212
00:18:31,486 --> 00:18:35,448
Class? Eyes up, pencils down,
mouths closed.

213
00:18:35,865 --> 00:18:39,994
We'll learn a lesson
and have fun doing it. The topic:

214
00:18:40,328 --> 00:18:44,207
promiscuity.
Who can tell me what that means?

215
00:18:44,541 --> 00:18:46,084
Sandra!

216
00:18:46,251 --> 00:18:48,253
In your dreams.

217
00:18:48,586 --> 00:18:51,172
Sandra, I know you have a question.

218
00:18:51,339 --> 00:18:54,551
You can't answer questions
about sex.

219
00:18:54,717 --> 00:18:59,556
You don't have to bite the doughnut
to know it's sweet.

220
00:18:59,722 --> 00:19:01,641
Plus, we have the Bible.

221
00:19:04,144 --> 00:19:06,146
Sister Mary Clarence? You look lost.

222
00:19:06,312 --> 00:19:07,564
Yes.

223
00:19:07,730 --> 00:19:09,649
VVho isn't?
Can't find the music room?

224
00:19:09,816 --> 00:19:10,859
No.

225
00:19:11,025 --> 00:19:14,904
It's downstairs.
Take a left, right, right, left...

226
00:19:15,071 --> 00:19:17,907
I'm sorry. It's tricky.
I'll help you find it.

227
00:19:18,074 --> 00:19:21,452
Just follow me.
I'll show you where it is.

228
00:19:21,619 --> 00:19:25,707
I know exactly what you mean.
One hall looks like another.

229
00:19:25,874 --> 00:19:31,754
Sometimes I just stop in my tracks
and say, "Lord, come to my rescue."

230
00:19:33,256 --> 00:19:35,341
Watch your step.

231
00:19:35,758 --> 00:19:40,388
Here we are. It's the... music

232
00:19:40,555 --> 00:19:42,640
class!

233
00:19:44,100 --> 00:19:46,060
Well... thank you.

234
00:19:46,227 --> 00:19:51,691
Oh... remember - nothing ever
is as bad as it seems at first.

235
00:19:53,151 --> 00:19:55,111
Fight the good fight.

236
00:19:55,278 --> 00:19:57,572
<i>OK. Sursum corda.</i>

237
00:19:57,739 --> 00:19:59,240
What was that?

238
00:19:59,407 --> 00:20:02,619
It's Latin.
It means lift up your heart.

239
00:20:02,785 --> 00:20:06,456
I thought you said,
"Insert some quarters."

240
00:20:06,623 --> 00:20:08,082
I'm not cut out for this.

241
00:20:08,249 --> 00:20:09,584
You're joking me.

242
00:20:09,751 --> 00:20:13,046
- The children are waiting.
- Yeah! Ain't they?!

243
00:20:22,472 --> 00:20:26,726
That's why your mama DJs
for the ice-cream float.

244
00:20:27,727 --> 00:20:29,812
Oh, it's you!

245
00:20:31,814 --> 00:20:33,983
Thank heaven you're here.

246
00:20:34,150 --> 00:20:38,321
Class, this is your new teacher.
Sister Mary Clarence.

247
00:20:38,488 --> 00:20:43,117
Your mama is so fat, she sat on
a rainbow and skittles popped out.

248
00:20:44,744 --> 00:20:50,166
Congratulations. You're the
new mayor of Sodom and Gomorrah.

249
00:20:52,210 --> 00:20:55,088
That's why your mother's so fat.

250
00:21:00,093 --> 00:21:02,095
Keep the faith, sister.

251
00:21:02,262 --> 00:21:06,057
Remember, Our Lord said,
"Be ye strong of will."

252
00:21:06,224 --> 00:21:08,393
Ye better be tough as nails too.

253
00:21:09,352 --> 00:21:11,437
Yeah!

254
00:21:28,871 --> 00:21:34,711
Morning. I'd like to introduce
myself. Put your seats back in order.

255
00:21:43,761 --> 00:21:48,057
I don't like a lot of noise,
so maybe you could do it quietly?

256
00:21:48,224 --> 00:21:50,268
Thank you so much.

257
00:21:50,727 --> 00:21:53,855
My name is Sister Mary Clarence,
and I'm...

258
00:21:54,022 --> 00:21:55,023
Your mama?

259
00:21:55,189 --> 00:22:00,069
Let's talk about your mama, who's
so dumb she got hit by a parked car.

260
00:22:01,863 --> 00:22:04,324
Let's try attendance.

261
00:22:04,490 --> 00:22:06,909
I'd like to introduce myself.

262
00:22:07,076 --> 00:22:11,247
I'm Tyler Chase,
and on behalf of the music class...

263
00:22:11,414 --> 00:22:13,041
You got something on your nose.

264
00:22:13,207 --> 00:22:15,251
A big brown thing here.

265
00:22:16,836 --> 00:22:18,921
Thank you, Mr Chase.

266
00:22:20,506 --> 00:22:22,592
Richard Pincham.

267
00:22:22,925 --> 00:22:24,719
Wake up, fool!

268
00:22:24,886 --> 00:22:26,763
Paper or plastic?

269
00:22:26,929 --> 00:22:29,265
Pardon'? Are you Richard?

270
00:22:29,557 --> 00:22:31,601
Yeah.

271
00:22:32,226 --> 00:22:33,311
Did you do these?

272
00:22:33,478 --> 00:22:34,854
Yeah. Sorry.

273
00:22:35,021 --> 00:22:36,022
Let me see.

274
00:22:36,189 --> 00:22:39,317
They call me Sketch. I do sketches.

275
00:22:39,484 --> 00:22:41,611
These are real good.

276
00:22:41,778 --> 00:22:44,822
Try to stay awake in my class,
though.

277
00:22:44,989 --> 00:22:46,908
Wesley James.

278
00:22:47,075 --> 00:22:49,452
Wesley Glen James.

279
00:22:49,619 --> 00:22:55,249
Respectfully, James is the slave
name forced upon my ancestors.

280
00:22:55,416 --> 00:23:00,713
Wesley is some name my
assimilationist parents came up with.

281
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:05,593
Today, in honour of those
who died in the struggle,

282
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,972
I wish to use my true name -
Ahmal M'jomo Jamaael.

283
00:23:10,139 --> 00:23:12,934
Which means "He who is spirited".

284
00:23:13,101 --> 00:23:14,894
And long-winded.

285
00:23:15,061 --> 00:23:16,562
A simple "present"
would have done it.

286
00:23:16,729 --> 00:23:18,231
And who are you?

287
00:23:18,398 --> 00:23:20,149
Frankay.

288
00:23:22,402 --> 00:23:26,114
Hello there, miss,
let me kick an introduction

289
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,616
Flute, violin, bass guitar...

290
00:23:28,783 --> 00:23:31,619
Can't you come up
with your own thing?

291
00:23:31,786 --> 00:23:34,914
You continually steal
my people's expressions.

292
00:23:35,081 --> 00:23:38,251
Jazz, rock'n'roll, now rap...
What you gonna take next?

293
00:23:38,418 --> 00:23:41,212
- Your girl!
- Keep talking there, boy.

294
00:23:41,379 --> 00:23:46,467
Let's leave this display of manhood
outside. Thank you.

295
00:23:46,634 --> 00:23:49,095
Hurry up. We've got things to do.

296
00:23:49,262 --> 00:23:50,888
Know what I'm saying?

297
00:23:51,055 --> 00:23:52,974
Are you Rita Watson?

298
00:23:53,141 --> 00:23:57,854
That's me. Sorry, I don't
have any antidotes to tell you.

299
00:23:58,020 --> 00:24:01,399
- Anecdotes.
- Shut up! Mind your business!

300
00:24:01,566 --> 00:24:03,776
How about we call you
Rita Diva-With-A'tude?

301
00:24:03,943 --> 00:24:05,236
Maybe I could help.

302
00:24:05,403 --> 00:24:07,488
- Are we all here?
- Yeah.

303
00:24:07,655 --> 00:24:08,781
We're here.

304
00:24:08,948 --> 00:24:12,368
Thank you!
All right, what have you been doing?

305
00:24:12,535 --> 00:24:14,454
Is she jokin'?

306
00:24:14,620 --> 00:24:18,791
Let me give you an easier question.
Where are the music books?

307
00:24:19,417 --> 00:24:21,711
Up there.

308
00:24:21,878 --> 00:24:26,924
I should explain something.
This is what we call a bird course.

309
00:24:27,091 --> 00:24:31,888
We call it a bird course
because we fly right through it.

310
00:24:33,848 --> 00:24:37,894
All you gotta do to pass
in this class is show up.

311
00:24:39,395 --> 00:24:43,983
So you come to class,
you do nothing, and you pass?

312
00:24:44,150 --> 00:24:48,988
No, we don't exactly do nothing.
We have a good time too.

313
00:24:49,655 --> 00:24:51,574
Yo, Frankie!

314
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,886
Money? You're asking for money?

315
00:25:12,053 --> 00:25:16,599
Yes. The green stuff that has
pictures of dead presidents on it.

316
00:25:16,766 --> 00:25:20,853
You use it to buy things -
instruments or song books.

317
00:25:21,020 --> 00:25:23,064
Sister Mary Clemens...

318
00:25:23,814 --> 00:25:29,320
Mr Crisp, my name is Mary Clarence.

319
00:25:29,487 --> 00:25:35,952
Clarence. You're confusing St Francis
with the University of Notre Dame.

320
00:25:36,118 --> 00:25:38,037
There is no money here.

321
00:25:38,204 --> 00:25:40,873
They manage to pay you, Crispy.

322
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:45,211
Mr Crisp is right.
We're lucky to be open at all.

323
00:25:45,378 --> 00:25:51,133
Then I wish you'd tell me what I'm
supposed to do with these children.

324
00:25:59,725 --> 00:26:02,687
Teach them to play... soccer.

325
00:26:03,688 --> 00:26:06,482
We don't have the balls for that.

326
00:27:02,705 --> 00:27:05,666
Now! Thank you.

327
00:27:08,878 --> 00:27:11,172
The question is,
how do we get this nun

328
00:27:11,339 --> 00:27:14,342
to extricate herself from us?

329
00:27:14,508 --> 00:27:16,177
Let's get this nun to run.

330
00:27:16,344 --> 00:27:20,431
I'm not sure. That's like
messing with a higher power.

331
00:27:20,598 --> 00:27:23,934
This sister is like a sister sister.

332
00:27:24,101 --> 00:27:25,686
She ain't no sister of yours.

333
00:27:25,853 --> 00:27:27,688
Chill,OK?

334
00:27:27,855 --> 00:27:29,523
I heard that.

335
00:27:29,690 --> 00:27:32,068
We gotta agree. Are we in or out?

336
00:27:32,234 --> 00:27:35,196
Young man! Picasso!

337
00:27:35,363 --> 00:27:37,573
You want to keep this job,
get back in here.

338
00:27:37,740 --> 00:27:39,659
I know what that means.

339
00:27:39,825 --> 00:27:43,621
I stick with the majority on this.
Check you all later.

340
00:27:43,788 --> 00:27:45,665
Peace.

341
00:27:48,042 --> 00:27:50,252
Rita Louise Watson?

342
00:27:51,379 --> 00:27:53,339
Get your behind in this house now.

343
00:27:53,506 --> 00:27:55,716
You got homework to do.

344
00:27:55,883 --> 00:27:58,010
Ma, we're just chillin'.

345
00:27:58,177 --> 00:28:00,721
Don't make me come after you.

346
00:28:00,888 --> 00:28:03,766
Listen, call me tonight
so we can figure out a plan.

347
00:28:03,933 --> 00:28:05,184
Rita!

348
00:28:05,351 --> 00:28:08,896
On second thought,
call me in the morning.

349
00:28:09,271 --> 00:28:11,232
See you later, Rita.

350
00:28:14,944 --> 00:28:16,946
Here she comes.

351
00:28:41,429 --> 00:28:44,098
Well, you look like my class.

352
00:28:44,265 --> 00:28:46,517
Is something going on?

353
00:28:46,684 --> 00:28:49,437
No, Sister Mary Clarence.

354
00:28:49,603 --> 00:28:52,857
I saw a scene like this once
in a horror movie.

355
00:28:53,023 --> 00:28:57,653
They subdued an entire community
by putting a drug in the water.

356
00:28:57,820 --> 00:28:59,488
Is that what's going on?

357
00:29:01,449 --> 00:29:03,117
All right.

358
00:29:03,284 --> 00:29:06,912
Today, I'd like to talk about music
cos that's what I am.

359
00:29:07,079 --> 00:29:10,541
I am the music teacher
and it's what I love.

360
00:29:10,708 --> 00:29:14,253
When you think about various people
and what they like -

361
00:29:15,171 --> 00:29:17,506
you think this one
likes this or that -

362
00:29:17,673 --> 00:29:19,592
me, I'm what you call eclectic.

363
00:29:19,759 --> 00:29:21,093
Eclectic?

364
00:29:21,260 --> 00:29:22,303
What's that?

365
00:29:22,470 --> 00:29:26,182
You plug your box into the wall,
it gives you power, stupid!

366
00:29:26,348 --> 00:29:28,601
Not electric. Eclectic, stupid!

367
00:29:28,768 --> 00:29:32,646
Let me simplify it for you.
When I say eclectic,

368
00:29:32,813 --> 00:29:36,066
I mean
I like different types of music.

369
00:29:36,233 --> 00:29:39,487
Opera, rock'n'roll, rap...
I like it all.

370
00:29:39,653 --> 00:29:43,449
But my absolute all-time favourite

371
00:29:43,616 --> 00:29:46,035
are the girl groups
from the '50s and '60s.

372
00:29:47,036 --> 00:29:50,122
Like who?

373
00:29:52,041 --> 00:29:53,793
Tyler, shut up!

374
00:29:53,959 --> 00:29:58,047
Let us not badger this man
who wants this information.

375
00:29:59,381 --> 00:30:03,761
I like Patti LaBelle and the
Bluebelles and I like the Supremes.

376
00:30:04,887 --> 00:30:06,680
Who are the Supremes?

377
00:30:08,891 --> 00:30:10,559
Don't get physical with him.

378
00:30:11,894 --> 00:30:13,312
You're gonna get jumped

379
00:30:13,479 --> 00:30:17,274
A shocking question.
"Who are the Supremes"!

380
00:30:17,441 --> 00:30:19,652
You never heard of Diana Ross?

381
00:30:19,819 --> 00:30:23,072
- Oh, Diana Ross!
- Let me tell you.

382
00:30:23,697 --> 00:30:26,367
They were the premier group.

383
00:30:26,534 --> 00:30:30,913
Your comrades say "yes"
because they were incredible.

384
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,542
What I love,
when I think about music,

385
00:30:34,708 --> 00:30:39,421
is how different types of music
can be fused together.

386
00:30:39,588 --> 00:30:41,382
Fusion.

387
00:30:42,466 --> 00:30:47,555
Yeah, fusion.
I'm really glad you're into this.

388
00:30:47,721 --> 00:30:49,390
The best example I can give...

389
00:30:56,105 --> 00:30:57,815
You got busted!

390
00:31:03,445 --> 00:31:05,531
Fusion! Fusion!

391
00:31:16,375 --> 00:31:18,460
Goddammit!

392
00:31:23,799 --> 00:31:25,885
Oh, man!

393
00:31:29,889 --> 00:31:31,974
Yeah.

394
00:31:36,562 --> 00:31:39,899
We want you to know
that we understand.

395
00:31:40,065 --> 00:31:42,943
You're quite free to leave
whenever you please.

396
00:31:44,361 --> 00:31:46,322
You'd be better off
in show business.

397
00:31:46,488 --> 00:31:49,241
Goodness knows the money is better.

398
00:31:49,408 --> 00:31:53,787
Bright lights and sequins
are prettier than anything here.

399
00:31:53,954 --> 00:31:57,333
Know what I hate most
about this place?

400
00:31:57,499 --> 00:32:00,544
There's nothing to pick up and throw.

401
00:32:00,711 --> 00:32:03,464
We understand.

402
00:32:03,631 --> 00:32:05,674
Yeah.

403
00:32:07,134 --> 00:32:09,428
Would you like a cup of tea?

404
00:32:19,772 --> 00:32:23,317
It would be criminal
if this happened.

405
00:32:23,484 --> 00:32:28,948
St Francis has been a beacon of hope
to people here for many years.

406
00:32:29,114 --> 00:32:33,410
To close the school like that
would be a disaster.

407
00:32:33,577 --> 00:32:35,621
You're sure there's
nothing to be done?

408
00:32:35,788 --> 00:32:37,706
We're afraid not.

409
00:32:37,873 --> 00:32:41,210
I hoped we could keep it open
until the end of the school year.

410
00:32:41,377 --> 00:32:43,921
- We know it's unfortunate.
- We don't like it either.

411
00:32:44,088 --> 00:32:48,968
The archdiocese says St Francis must
close at the end of the semester.

412
00:32:49,134 --> 00:32:51,595
- Why so quickly?
- You're in the red.

413
00:32:51,762 --> 00:32:54,014
There's little hope of recovery.

414
00:32:54,181 --> 00:32:59,103
You must realise that community
contributions have been nil.

415
00:32:59,269 --> 00:33:01,981
The school has no
outstanding academic records.

416
00:33:02,147 --> 00:33:05,651
I've been exploring
other uses for the property.

417
00:33:05,818 --> 00:33:07,778
- Parking?
- Yes.

418
00:33:07,945 --> 00:33:11,365
It's more valuable as a parking lot
than a school. I'm sorry.

419
00:33:11,532 --> 00:33:13,409
The recommendation is to close.

420
00:33:13,575 --> 00:33:17,121
Well, there's nothing more
to be said.

421
00:33:31,051 --> 00:33:33,053
You should be commended

422
00:33:33,220 --> 00:33:35,472
for your excellent analysis
of the situation.

423
00:33:35,639 --> 00:33:37,558
Thank you very much.

424
00:33:37,725 --> 00:33:43,063
But I do wish you'd consider
my application for early retirement.

425
00:33:43,230 --> 00:33:48,610
I've worked for the archdiocese for
almost 30 years. I'd like my due.

426
00:33:48,777 --> 00:33:51,613
- Absolutely.
- Thank you.

427
00:33:51,780 --> 00:33:55,701
Let's go out
and have some lunch now, shall we?

428
00:34:05,502 --> 00:34:07,546
- What?
- When?

429
00:34:07,713 --> 00:34:10,382
- The end of the semester.
- Where did you hear that?

430
00:34:10,549 --> 00:34:14,344
I happened to be eavesdropping
in Father Maurice's office.

431
00:34:14,511 --> 00:34:19,266
We were afraid this might happen.
I've been expecting it for some time.

432
00:34:19,433 --> 00:34:22,811
- Well, what do we do?
- We'll probably be reassigned.

433
00:34:22,978 --> 00:34:27,483
The children will be bussed to
another school in another district.

434
00:34:27,649 --> 00:34:32,071
That's stupid. This is the only
school in this community.

435
00:34:32,237 --> 00:34:36,575
We've gotta do something,
or we'll lose our students.

436
00:34:36,742 --> 00:34:39,870
Then I guess
we are going to do something.

437
00:34:40,037 --> 00:34:41,747
You do mean we? We?

438
00:34:41,914 --> 00:34:44,416
Yes, yes - we.

439
00:34:44,583 --> 00:34:46,293
You're not leaving?

440
00:34:46,460 --> 00:34:49,254
I said I was gonna come and help.

441
00:34:49,421 --> 00:34:51,590
Thank you, Deloris.

442
00:34:51,757 --> 00:34:54,093
Just call me Mary Clarence.

443
00:34:56,762 --> 00:34:58,639
- Reverend Mother.
- Father Maurice.

444
00:34:58,806 --> 00:35:00,724
I'd like to speak to you.

445
00:35:00,891 --> 00:35:04,353
My mind is consumed
with trying to deal with...

446
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,438
Sister Mary Clarence?

447
00:35:06,605 --> 00:35:10,442
- Yes, as a matter of fact.
- I'm familiar with the dilemma.

448
00:35:10,609 --> 00:35:16,365
She presided over the ecclesiastical
equivalent of a pep rally last night.

449
00:35:16,532 --> 00:35:18,283
I am aware of this.

450
00:35:18,450 --> 00:35:19,827
How did you know?

451
00:35:19,993 --> 00:35:22,621
When one deals with
Sister Mary Clarence,

452
00:35:22,788 --> 00:35:26,875
one is smothered with more
information than one wishes.

453
00:35:27,042 --> 00:35:28,836
She's become quite disruptive.

454
00:35:29,002 --> 00:35:33,298
Disruption is the way
Mary Clarence communicates.

455
00:35:33,465 --> 00:35:37,177
I worry about raising false hopes
among the children.

456
00:35:37,344 --> 00:35:41,765
Tell me about your experiences
with Mary Clarence.

457
00:35:41,932 --> 00:35:44,726
I wouldn't want to frighten you.

458
00:35:44,893 --> 00:35:48,021
In my experience it's easier,

459
00:35:48,188 --> 00:35:54,987
and ultimately quite effective,
to give Mary Clarence a free hand.

460
00:35:55,154 --> 00:35:57,739
Aren't her ideas extremely radical?

461
00:35:57,906 --> 00:36:03,871
If I'm correct, the term "radical"
was applied to us in our day.

462
00:36:04,037 --> 00:36:07,791
Have you forgotten the trouble
we caused Bishop O'Malley?

463
00:36:07,958 --> 00:36:10,210
Oh, yes. Bishop O'Malley.

464
00:36:11,879 --> 00:36:14,298
Give Mary Clarence a chance.

465
00:36:16,175 --> 00:36:19,094
If the school is
on the road to closure,

466
00:36:19,261 --> 00:36:22,181
at least she'll make it
an interesting ride.

467
00:36:25,350 --> 00:36:30,063
Good morning. Please take
your seats quickly and quietly.

468
00:36:30,230 --> 00:36:33,317
Welcome to the first day
of your new scholastic lives.

469
00:36:33,483 --> 00:36:36,278
This is no longer a bird course.

470
00:36:36,445 --> 00:36:41,116
The bird has flown. If you want to
pass, you have to earn it.

471
00:36:41,283 --> 00:36:44,661
I have no problems failing
each and every one of you.

472
00:36:44,828 --> 00:36:46,830
I never thought
this was a bird course.

473
00:36:46,997 --> 00:36:49,833
I'm glad for you. Very, very glad.

474
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,921
This is a new day. Things are gonna
be a little different around here.

475
00:36:54,087 --> 00:36:56,632
Oh, yeah? Like how?

476
00:36:56,798 --> 00:37:00,177
Like when I talk, Frankay, you don't.

477
00:37:00,344 --> 00:37:03,805
Is this something
you wanna share with the class?

478
00:37:03,972 --> 00:37:05,599
No. I'm kicking it with my girl.

479
00:37:05,766 --> 00:37:11,104
You kick it with me or I'll kick
you out. What do you think of that?

480
00:37:11,271 --> 00:37:13,857
Put 'em away.

481
00:37:14,024 --> 00:37:17,736
You! This is not
Elizabeth Arden, Miss Thing.

482
00:37:17,903 --> 00:37:22,658
You wanna beat your mug, do it
at home before you come to class.

483
00:37:22,824 --> 00:37:24,243
Put it away.

484
00:37:24,409 --> 00:37:28,580
Sketch, don't be catching Zs
in my class.

485
00:37:28,747 --> 00:37:30,749
I be tired. I got a job.

486
00:37:30,916 --> 00:37:36,380
Save it for Oprah. This is a
brand-new day, ladies and gentlemen.

487
00:37:36,546 --> 00:37:38,674
We'll start with respect.

488
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:42,886
You're gonna respect me
and I'm gonna respect you.

489
00:37:43,053 --> 00:37:48,183
The first thing you're gonna do,
gentlemen, is take off those hats.

490
00:37:48,350 --> 00:37:51,645
This is a brand-new day.

491
00:37:54,481 --> 00:37:58,568
I guess that means you'll comb your
hair before you come to class.

492
00:37:58,735 --> 00:38:01,613
You're laughing over there.
You think this is very funny.

493
00:38:01,780 --> 00:38:04,324
There is no sun in this room.
You will not get a tan.

494
00:38:04,491 --> 00:38:07,536
Take off those sunglasses. You too.

495
00:38:07,703 --> 00:38:11,373
If they're not prescription, I don't
want to see 'em. I want to see you.

496
00:38:11,540 --> 00:38:15,460
I want to look into your eyes.
I want you to look into mine.

497
00:38:15,627 --> 00:38:17,921
Yes, Miss Watson?

498
00:38:18,088 --> 00:38:22,301
We don't want no new way.
The old way was fine for us. Right?

499
00:38:22,467 --> 00:38:24,177
Right.

500
00:38:24,344 --> 00:38:29,057
If you're gonna fail us, go ahead.
Cos... I ain't doing nothin'.

501
00:38:29,224 --> 00:38:34,271
Fine. There's the door. Don't let it
hit you in the butts on the way out.

502
00:38:34,438 --> 00:38:37,566
Yo, sis.
I can't afford to fail this class.

503
00:38:37,733 --> 00:38:39,985
Tell your friends that.

504
00:38:40,152 --> 00:38:41,903
My parents wouldn't be pleased.

505
00:38:42,279 --> 00:38:45,407
We ain't gotta take this from her.
Come on.

506
00:38:46,033 --> 00:38:47,993
Sketch, come on, man!

507
00:38:50,454 --> 00:38:52,205
Frankay?

508
00:38:52,372 --> 00:38:57,127
I'm usually down for this,
but I'm gonna take care of business.

509
00:38:59,046 --> 00:39:03,008
A little lonely out on that limb
by yourself, Miss Watson?

510
00:39:09,473 --> 00:39:11,558
So much for friendship.

511
00:39:24,029 --> 00:39:28,575
Let's get down to business.
You wanna go somewhere, be somebody,

512
00:39:28,742 --> 00:39:31,995
you better wake up
and pay attention.

513
00:39:32,162 --> 00:39:36,583
The real world doesn't care
how hip you think you are

514
00:39:36,750 --> 00:39:39,628
or who you kick it with.
It don't matter.

515
00:39:39,795 --> 00:39:42,672
If you don't have an education,
you don't have anything.

516
00:39:42,839 --> 00:39:44,007
That's the truth.

517
00:39:57,562 --> 00:40:00,982
But we cannot do it by ourselves.
We need help.

518
00:40:01,149 --> 00:40:04,820
We're here for the children.
If not for them, for who?

519
00:40:04,986 --> 00:40:06,738
Look.

520
00:40:06,905 --> 00:40:09,324
Let's start with the curriculum.

521
00:40:09,491 --> 00:40:11,701
Let's talk about boring!

522
00:40:11,868 --> 00:40:13,870
I can barely stay awake.

523
00:40:14,037 --> 00:40:19,960
I can goose up sex ed. What do we do
about the graffiti? It's awful!

524
00:40:20,127 --> 00:40:21,753
I'd love to teach new math.

525
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,296
Yes!

526
00:40:23,463 --> 00:40:25,882
Face facts. We're closing down.

527
00:40:26,049 --> 00:40:30,971
Yes, we may be closing,
but we're not closed yet.

528
00:40:31,138 --> 00:40:34,599
So why don't we go out
with a little class?

529
00:40:34,766 --> 00:40:36,184
Let's hear it again.

530
00:40:36,351 --> 00:40:40,689
If you wanna be somebody,
if you wanna go somewhere,

531
00:40:40,856 --> 00:40:43,150
you better wake up
and pay attention.

532
00:40:43,316 --> 00:40:45,235
Make me believe what you're saying.

533
00:40:45,402 --> 00:40:46,862
Can we waken this up a little?

534
00:40:47,028 --> 00:40:50,824
- Yeah, if you think you can.
- OK.

535
00:41:11,052 --> 00:41:13,430
Wait a minute!

536
00:41:13,597 --> 00:41:17,851
Talk about a wake-up call!
Where did this come from?

537
00:41:18,018 --> 00:41:19,769
This is a music class, isn't it?

538
00:41:19,936 --> 00:41:24,483
Yes, it is. Are you telling me
you guys can sing?

539
00:41:26,401 --> 00:41:28,361
That was great!

540
00:41:28,528 --> 00:41:34,367
I've just figured out how I'm gonna
get you through this music class.

541
00:41:34,534 --> 00:41:35,702
Really?

542
00:41:35,869 --> 00:41:40,040
Yes. I'm gonna turn you guys
into a choir.

543
00:41:44,169 --> 00:41:49,591
<i>Most choirs just sing
wack songs nobody cares about.</i>

544
00:41:49,758 --> 00:41:52,302
<i>Maybe not.</i>

545
00:41:52,594 --> 00:41:54,971
Sit down. Let's go.

546
00:41:55,138 --> 00:41:58,725
Quit chewing that gum.
You look like Mr Ed.

547
00:42:04,940 --> 00:42:07,442
Come right in. Watch your footing.

548
00:42:24,626 --> 00:42:27,254
You ready, Alma? Hello?

549
00:42:30,131 --> 00:42:32,300
You ready, Alma?

550
00:42:32,467 --> 00:42:35,887
Alma, turn the pack on.

551
00:42:38,056 --> 00:42:39,891
You ready?

552
00:42:40,058 --> 00:42:42,102
Yes.

553
00:42:43,144 --> 00:42:45,772
- Ready, ladies?
- Yes!

554
00:42:47,941 --> 00:42:51,069
Five, six. Five, six, seven, eight.

555
00:44:18,323 --> 00:44:20,784
Play it, Alma! Go ahead, girl!

556
00:44:33,129 --> 00:44:34,464
That was brilliant.

557
00:44:34,631 --> 00:44:37,050
So, what did you guys think?

558
00:44:37,217 --> 00:44:40,178
- Well, it was OK.
- What do you mean, OK?

559
00:44:40,345 --> 00:44:41,429
What about you?

560
00:44:41,596 --> 00:44:44,307
It was cool for what it was,
but it wasn't all that.

561
00:44:44,474 --> 00:44:45,558
Look who was singing.

562
00:44:45,725 --> 00:44:49,145
A bunch of nuns
singing to old biddies?

563
00:44:49,312 --> 00:44:51,523
Two guys in row four
didn't even applaud.

564
00:44:51,690 --> 00:44:53,692
They was deaf, stupid.

565
00:44:53,858 --> 00:44:59,322
We should 86 this choir thing.
Some of us got reps to think about.

566
00:44:59,489 --> 00:45:05,370
If we wear robes and sing hymns,
my homeboys will think we're punks.

567
00:45:05,537 --> 00:45:11,167
In Nigeria, singers wear ceremonial
robes as a mark of honour.

568
00:45:11,334 --> 00:45:12,794
<i>Spare us Roots.</i>

569
00:45:12,961 --> 00:45:16,089
Can't we sing something that won't
get the crap kicked out of us?

570
00:45:16,256 --> 00:45:20,719
I understand you gotta think about
your image. Image is important.

571
00:45:20,885 --> 00:45:24,514
Your friends will dictate
your actions through your life.

572
00:45:24,681 --> 00:45:30,478
So I wouldn't want you to be an
individual - that would be too much.

573
00:45:30,645 --> 00:45:35,233
But I will say this - when these
ladies get on the bus,

574
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,736
do not disrespect them.

575
00:45:37,902 --> 00:45:43,074
It ain't easy to get up and sing
in front of people like yourselves.

576
00:45:44,033 --> 00:45:46,119
Nice job, ladies.

577
00:45:47,328 --> 00:45:49,205
Brilliant.

578
00:46:06,264 --> 00:46:09,100
I smell trouble. Check it out.

579
00:46:10,101 --> 00:46:11,728
What's happening?

580
00:46:11,895 --> 00:46:15,440
What's happening is, I've been sent
to give you a message

581
00:46:15,607 --> 00:46:19,736
like I'm working for Western Union
instead of the church.

582
00:46:19,903 --> 00:46:21,988
Don't say you have to sing it.

583
00:46:22,155 --> 00:46:28,119
Very funny! You won't be as humorous
after you've seen to Father Maurice,

584
00:46:28,286 --> 00:46:30,622
who wants to see you right now.

585
00:46:30,789 --> 00:46:35,376
During school hours we are
responsible for the children.

586
00:46:35,543 --> 00:46:38,087
They can't go on a trip
without parental consent.

587
00:46:38,254 --> 00:46:43,968
OK, I made a mistake. I'm sorry.
It will never happen again.

588
00:46:44,135 --> 00:46:46,054
Indeed it won't.

589
00:46:46,221 --> 00:46:50,850
From now, authorised
or unauthorised trips are cancelled.

590
00:46:51,017 --> 00:46:53,269
Well, Why?!

591
00:46:53,436 --> 00:46:57,899
In a very short time,
St Francis will close for good.

592
00:46:58,066 --> 00:47:00,860
I'd like that time
to be safe and pleasant

593
00:47:01,027 --> 00:47:04,697
for everyone concerned.
Do I make myself clear?

594
00:47:04,864 --> 00:47:08,159
Yes... abundantly.

595
00:47:08,326 --> 00:47:09,911
Thank you.

596
00:47:13,122 --> 00:47:14,749
You heard him say that?

597
00:47:15,041 --> 00:47:17,043
Just a second ago.

598
00:47:17,210 --> 00:47:20,255
St Francis can't be closed. My family
dropped out of high school.

599
00:47:20,421 --> 00:47:22,590
I refuse to go out like that.

600
00:47:22,757 --> 00:47:27,887
We could take 'em higher
with the choir. It could be dope.

601
00:47:28,054 --> 00:47:30,598
We need to exhibit
some pride in ourselves.

602
00:47:30,765 --> 00:47:34,352
Like Paul Laurence Dunbar did.

603
00:47:34,519 --> 00:47:37,438
OK! That's what I'm talking about.

604
00:47:37,605 --> 00:47:42,318
That's what's wrong with kids today.
Y'all don't wanna listen.

605
00:47:42,485 --> 00:47:44,404
Go ahead and walk away.

606
00:47:44,571 --> 00:47:47,949
Don't y'all realise
what they took from us?

607
00:47:48,116 --> 00:47:50,743
You know what I'm talking about.

608
00:47:50,910 --> 00:47:54,330
They stole our land
and our name and our mother.

609
00:47:54,497 --> 00:47:57,417
- You know what I'm saying, right?
- Get your butt a job.

610
00:47:57,584 --> 00:48:02,463
Brother try to walk the walk
and can't understand the talk.

611
00:48:02,630 --> 00:48:04,757
I know y'all understand me.

612
00:48:06,885 --> 00:48:09,137
This used to be the old music room.

613
00:48:09,304 --> 00:48:12,807
The acoustics are incredible.
You can't buy them.

614
00:48:17,270 --> 00:48:19,939
Looks like <i>Tales From The Crypt.</i>

615
00:48:20,106 --> 00:48:22,317
This is wack.

616
00:48:23,610 --> 00:48:28,448
I'd hate those spiders to get into
the weaves some of you are wearing.

617
00:48:35,288 --> 00:48:37,540
Now, does anybody play an instrument?

618
00:48:37,916 --> 00:48:39,626
I can play. Piano.

619
00:48:39,792 --> 00:48:41,836
Come here.

620
00:48:44,714 --> 00:48:48,009
It still has some sound in it.
Give me an A. See if it works.

621
00:48:50,970 --> 00:48:53,014
Very nice.

622
00:48:53,765 --> 00:48:54,974
OK, let's see.

623
00:48:55,516 --> 00:48:58,394
Sketch. "Mary Had A Little Lamb".

624
00:49:00,104 --> 00:49:01,856
I don't sing. I rap.

625
00:49:02,023 --> 00:49:05,652
I rap too. But you wouldn't know
anything about that.

626
00:49:05,818 --> 00:49:12,533
Excuse me, Frankay, hey ho.
I happen to be a big fan of Run DNA.

627
00:49:12,700 --> 00:49:14,661
Run DMC, my sister.

628
00:49:14,827 --> 00:49:17,664
He got it. It was a joke! Lighten up.

629
00:49:17,830 --> 00:49:21,626
I like Big Daddy Kane.
Will you rap for me, please?

630
00:49:21,793 --> 00:49:24,504
You wanna hear
"Mary Had A Little Lamb"?

631
00:49:27,465 --> 00:49:28,883
Fleece!

632
00:49:35,723 --> 00:49:37,433
Not bad.

633
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:39,435
Ahmal, sing for me.

634
00:49:48,695 --> 00:49:52,031
A little tentative,
but we can work on that. Very nice.

635
00:49:52,198 --> 00:49:54,909
Shaka Zulu
said word sounds had powers.

636
00:49:55,076 --> 00:49:58,579
Chaka Khan said "it's my thing."
So what?

637
00:49:58,746 --> 00:50:00,957
Tanya - "Mary Had A Little Lamb".

638
00:50:06,713 --> 00:50:08,673
That was beautiful.

639
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:13,261
Go ahead. You just saved that
lamb's life. No lamb chops tonight.

640
00:50:13,428 --> 00:50:15,346
Very nice.

641
00:50:15,513 --> 00:50:19,517
What do you say we try it,
just for fun, as a group?

642
00:50:19,684 --> 00:50:21,728
You up for that?

643
00:50:23,104 --> 00:50:25,189
On three. Give me an A.

644
00:50:26,065 --> 00:50:28,943
He's so multi-talented, isn't he?

645
00:50:29,110 --> 00:50:32,030
That's very nice,
the way you did that.

646
00:50:32,196 --> 00:50:35,158
All right, on three. One, two, three.

647
00:50:39,579 --> 00:50:43,624
OK, OK, OK. Maybe I went
a little too fast for you.

648
00:50:43,791 --> 00:50:46,961
We'll go back
and take it nice and slow.

649
00:50:47,128 --> 00:50:50,506
Maria, let me hear
"Mary Had A Little Lamb".

650
00:50:52,300 --> 00:50:53,885
What's the matter?

651
00:50:54,052 --> 00:50:55,553
Come on, Maria.

652
00:50:55,720 --> 00:50:58,097
- She's shy.
- What?

653
00:50:58,264 --> 00:51:01,934
I don't know
"Mary Had A Little Lamb".

654
00:51:06,647 --> 00:51:09,150
Excuse me!

655
00:51:09,317 --> 00:51:15,114
It is not Maria's fault if she
does not know that Mary had a lamb.

656
00:51:15,281 --> 00:51:20,369
It is not - and I say this to you -
it is not Maria's fault,

657
00:51:20,536 --> 00:51:25,583
because maybe where
Maria came from, Mary had a dog.

658
00:51:25,750 --> 00:51:27,668
Or a little kitty cat.

659
00:51:27,835 --> 00:51:31,506
Or a little bald-headed brother
named Bart.

660
00:51:31,672 --> 00:51:34,509
It is not her fault
that she doesn't know it.

661
00:51:34,675 --> 00:51:37,762
We're not going to
hold it against her, are we?

662
00:51:37,929 --> 00:51:42,850
You sing whatever it is
that is in you to sing. All right.

663
00:51:43,017 --> 00:51:45,061
Thank you.

664
00:51:56,322 --> 00:52:02,620
OK, stop. "The Love Boat" - all
right. That's nice. Mary Lazarus,

665
00:52:02,787 --> 00:52:03,913
this is your soul mate.

666
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:08,251
Do you know the theme song from
"Gilligan's island"? My favourite.

667
00:52:08,417 --> 00:52:12,088
This isn't about
whether you can sing or not.

668
00:52:12,255 --> 00:52:15,174
We know you can.
We've heard you do it.

669
00:52:15,341 --> 00:52:19,512
This is about singing together

670
00:52:19,679 --> 00:52:21,722
as a group. Hit it.

671
00:52:22,974 --> 00:52:26,853
All right. On three. One, two...

672
00:53:08,352 --> 00:53:10,438
I mess up that part every time!

673
00:53:19,071 --> 00:53:21,115
What's the matter, Rita?

674
00:53:21,282 --> 00:53:22,617
That was beautiful.

675
00:53:22,783 --> 00:53:25,411
Don't even try. You can blow too.

676
00:53:25,578 --> 00:53:28,998
But you got the type of voice.
You could really make it.

677
00:53:30,708 --> 00:53:32,793
This is for church.

678
00:53:34,921 --> 00:53:37,673
What's wrong with you, girl?

679
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:40,885
I've just been thinking about things.

680
00:53:41,052 --> 00:53:44,263
My mother thinks
singing is dead-end.

681
00:53:44,430 --> 00:53:46,974
- No security.
- And that's cool, Rita.

682
00:53:47,141 --> 00:53:49,018
But what do you think?

683
00:53:52,313 --> 00:53:54,273
I don't know.

684
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:56,859
Let's do the song I was doing.

685
00:53:57,026 --> 00:53:59,028
But this time let's do it together.

686
00:53:59,195 --> 00:54:03,574
- I can't sing with you.
- Come on! I know you with it.

687
00:54:06,577 --> 00:54:10,206
You take the top
and I'll take the bottom.

688
00:54:11,582 --> 00:54:13,668
Just try it.

689
00:54:48,953 --> 00:54:51,414
Please don't stop.

690
00:54:51,580 --> 00:54:53,708
I'll see you later, Rita.

691
00:54:56,961 --> 00:54:59,338
You have a beautiful voice.

692
00:55:01,841 --> 00:55:03,926
So what?

693
00:55:05,761 --> 00:55:07,638
So...

694
00:55:09,015 --> 00:55:11,475
So why aren't you in the choir?

695
00:55:11,642 --> 00:55:13,561
I know you wanna be.

696
00:55:13,728 --> 00:55:18,024
There's a lot of things I wanna do,
but I ain't gonna get to do 'em.

697
00:55:18,190 --> 00:55:19,400
Yeah, I know.

698
00:55:19,567 --> 00:55:21,736
I used to feel that way too.

699
00:55:23,988 --> 00:55:27,074
You should talk to Sister Mary
Clarence. She helped me so...

700
00:55:29,869 --> 00:55:33,122
You're just barely 17.

701
00:55:33,289 --> 00:55:37,835
How do you know what
you're gonna get to do and not do?

702
00:55:38,002 --> 00:55:41,672
Have you walked
around this neighbourhood?

703
00:55:41,839 --> 00:55:44,592
Not exactly the land of opportunity.

704
00:55:44,759 --> 00:55:49,805
I might wanna sing, but it ain't
gonna happen, so what's the point?

705
00:55:49,972 --> 00:55:52,641
Welcome to the real world, sister.

706
00:55:58,230 --> 00:56:00,316
What's the matter?

707
00:56:00,775 --> 00:56:03,444
This chick's got a lotta attitude.

708
00:56:03,611 --> 00:56:07,281
No, I think it's deeper than that.

709
00:56:07,448 --> 00:56:09,867
Deloris... Sister Mary Clarence.

710
00:56:10,034 --> 00:56:12,620
I think that she needs help.

711
00:56:12,787 --> 00:56:14,872
Why are you looking at me?

712
00:56:15,039 --> 00:56:19,668
I thought you could help her,
kind of the way you helped me.

713
00:56:19,835 --> 00:56:23,422
No, no. You were different.

714
00:56:23,589 --> 00:56:26,801
She really, really wants to sing.

715
00:56:27,676 --> 00:56:29,762
Is she any good?

716
00:56:31,222 --> 00:56:33,307
Yes!

717
00:56:37,853 --> 00:56:43,317
- God bless you, Sister Clarence.
- Chapel time. Get in there.

718
00:56:51,033 --> 00:56:52,993
What?!

719
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:57,039
You have a little bit more attitude
than I like,

720
00:56:57,206 --> 00:57:01,085
but I've decided to dog you,
no matter what. OK?

721
00:57:01,252 --> 00:57:02,795
I'm listening to you.

722
00:57:02,962 --> 00:57:05,047
I know you want to sing.

723
00:57:05,214 --> 00:57:08,050
I love to sing.
Nothing makes me happier.

724
00:57:08,217 --> 00:57:11,220
I either wanted to be a singer
or the head of the Ice Capades.

725
00:57:11,387 --> 00:57:15,558
You know the Ice Capades?
Don't roll your eyes! They were cool.

726
00:57:15,724 --> 00:57:17,977
My mother gave me this book.

727
00:57:18,144 --> 00:57:22,481
<i>Letters To A Young Poet
by Rainer Maria Rilke.</i>

728
00:57:22,648 --> 00:57:26,569
A fabulous writer.
A fella wrote to him saying

729
00:57:26,735 --> 00:57:29,905
"I wanna be a writer. Read my stuff."

730
00:57:30,072 --> 00:57:34,076
Rilke says "Don't ask me
about being a writer."

731
00:57:34,243 --> 00:57:39,832
"if you can think of nothing
but writing, then you're a writer."

732
00:57:39,999 --> 00:57:42,835
I'm gonna say the same thing to you.

733
00:57:43,002 --> 00:57:47,798
If you wake up and you can't think
of anything but singing,

734
00:57:47,965 --> 00:57:50,426
then you're supposed to be
a singer.

735
00:57:53,137 --> 00:57:56,432
What's the point of your story,
sister?

736
00:57:56,599 --> 00:57:58,642
Read the book.

737
00:58:02,897 --> 00:58:06,025
And don't roll your eyes
about the Ice Capades.

738
00:58:06,192 --> 00:58:10,404
It was a good living.
I just want to point that out.

739
00:58:35,846 --> 00:58:37,848
That's good.

740
00:58:40,684 --> 00:58:43,062
Let's try some energy, hey!

741
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:46,565
And as a group.

742
00:58:49,235 --> 00:58:51,320
From the diaphragm.

743
00:58:52,947 --> 00:58:55,032
Welcome back!

744
00:58:57,159 --> 00:58:59,245
Let's do Frankay!

745
00:59:14,969 --> 00:59:17,888
We're going right down the scale.

746
00:59:20,891 --> 00:59:22,977
Yes, go on, go on.

747
01:00:05,603 --> 01:00:07,980
OK, got it? This is so funny.

748
01:00:18,741 --> 01:00:23,662
Do you think Shaka Zulu
could repel a bunch of troops

749
01:00:23,829 --> 01:00:26,790
with the tiny voice you're using?

750
01:00:26,957 --> 01:00:29,084
Give me "O Happy Day" in C.

751
01:00:30,669 --> 01:00:34,715
You listen to what I'm gonna do, OK?

752
01:00:35,007 --> 01:00:36,967
This is you.

753
01:00:39,219 --> 01:00:41,764
That ain't gonna scare nobody.

754
01:00:43,682 --> 01:00:45,934
That's what I want you to do.

755
01:00:46,101 --> 01:00:48,437
Take it up half a step for me.

756
01:00:49,688 --> 01:00:51,774
All right, repel me.

757
01:00:57,154 --> 01:00:59,782
That ain't gonna scare nobody.

758
01:01:01,950 --> 01:01:03,619
Now you got it.

759
01:01:27,309 --> 01:01:29,395
OK, you guys, relax.

760
01:01:29,603 --> 01:01:31,689
Take a deep breath.

761
01:01:32,773 --> 01:01:35,401
Be fine. Don't worry.

762
01:01:36,610 --> 01:01:38,404
You ready?

763
01:01:43,909 --> 01:01:46,161
Come here. Stand over here.

764
01:02:01,593 --> 01:02:04,096
You have to do better than this.

765
01:02:08,726 --> 01:02:10,728
Take your cue from me.

766
01:02:18,777 --> 01:02:20,863
You.

767
01:02:26,201 --> 01:02:27,619
Sing.

768
01:02:57,316 --> 01:02:58,317
Let's party-

769
01:04:21,525 --> 01:04:22,860
Take your bow.

770
01:04:23,026 --> 01:04:26,697
Go on. Take your bow.

771
01:04:27,030 --> 01:04:28,740
All right!

772
01:04:38,333 --> 01:04:40,419
Ladies and gentlemen,

773
01:04:40,586 --> 01:04:43,755
I believe we are now a choir.

774
01:04:50,637 --> 01:04:53,015
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

775
01:04:53,181 --> 01:04:56,059
Show me the man
that a woman can trust.

776
01:04:56,226 --> 01:04:59,855
Where does it say
on the eighth day he dusted?

777
01:05:00,022 --> 01:05:08,071
Look at these trophies. All-State
Music Competition, 1971, 1969.

778
01:05:08,238 --> 01:05:11,241
This school's been winning
competitions for a long time.

779
01:05:11,408 --> 01:05:13,869
Think they still have these contests?

780
01:05:21,376 --> 01:05:22,961
Focus.

781
01:05:23,128 --> 01:05:27,090
What if I told you
that we have entered you all

782
01:05:27,257 --> 01:05:29,468
in the All-State
Music Competition?

783
01:05:29,635 --> 01:05:32,346
Six weeks from Saturday in Hollywood!

784
01:05:32,512 --> 01:05:34,765
What?!

785
01:05:34,932 --> 01:05:37,935
- They be doing some crazy stuff!
- That is so cool!

786
01:05:38,101 --> 01:05:42,856
You put this choir together.
We took our cue from you.

787
01:05:43,023 --> 01:05:48,612
This school's won competitions.
Don't you have faith in yourselves?

788
01:05:48,779 --> 01:05:53,033
Are we good enough
to compete against other choirs?

789
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:58,205
You could be if you rehearse before
class and after school. How about it?

790
01:05:58,372 --> 01:05:59,998
Wait, sisters.

791
01:06:00,165 --> 01:06:04,127
We need to discuss this.
Y'all ready for an All-State thing?

792
01:06:04,294 --> 01:06:06,213
No! Absolutely not.

793
01:06:07,297 --> 01:06:09,299
Come on, y'all!

794
01:06:09,466 --> 01:06:13,637
Nobody has ever cared
what we was good at,

795
01:06:13,804 --> 01:06:17,057
except Sister Mary Clarence
and her homegirls.

796
01:06:17,224 --> 01:06:23,063
They were hooking us up. Plus,
we can go to Hollywood. Hollywood!

797
01:06:23,230 --> 01:06:24,648
What are we gonna wear?

798
01:06:24,815 --> 01:06:26,191
Airhead!

799
01:06:26,358 --> 01:06:27,401
Clothes!

800
01:06:27,609 --> 01:06:31,905
Guys, come on. We owe this
to ourselves. We should do it.

801
01:06:32,072 --> 01:06:34,533
What about our boyfriends?

802
01:06:34,700 --> 01:06:37,953
There may be some all-boy choirs
at this competition.

803
01:06:38,120 --> 01:06:39,454
We're in.

804
01:06:39,621 --> 01:06:42,708
If we win the archdiocese
is going to be pleased as punch.

805
01:06:42,874 --> 01:06:45,502
Maybe we'll have a prayer
to keep this school open.

806
01:06:45,669 --> 01:06:47,713
Right.

807
01:06:49,131 --> 01:06:53,051
Does this mean we're going
to the All-State Competition?

808
01:06:53,218 --> 01:06:55,262
Yes!

809
01:06:59,266 --> 01:07:03,729
Let's turn this mother out
and rock the house! Dope!

810
01:07:04,479 --> 01:07:07,441
They wouldn't bring drugs in here,
would they?

811
01:07:07,607 --> 01:07:08,900
No.

812
01:07:09,067 --> 01:07:10,777
No! Absolutely not!

813
01:07:10,944 --> 01:07:13,071
How can you keep saying no?

814
01:07:13,238 --> 01:07:16,450
They're good.
They are so ready for this.

815
01:07:16,616 --> 01:07:21,038
You made a promise to the students
that you can't keep.

816
01:07:21,204 --> 01:07:23,540
Field trips are out of the question.

817
01:07:23,707 --> 01:07:26,752
This is not a field trip.
It could save the school.

818
01:07:26,918 --> 01:07:29,212
- You have my answer.
- It's the wrong one!

819
01:07:29,379 --> 01:07:33,592
Sister Mary Clarence!
You're being insubordinate!

820
01:07:33,759 --> 01:07:38,096
I know. And surely
you can understand why.

821
01:07:38,263 --> 01:07:42,976
The kids have worked hard for this.
They're really good.

822
01:07:43,143 --> 01:07:48,899
They could win. This school used
to win that competition every year.

823
01:07:49,066 --> 01:07:54,112
If they're gonna close this school,
let's go outwith a bang!

824
01:07:54,279 --> 01:07:56,114
Yes, let her!

825
01:07:57,074 --> 01:07:59,159
Very awesome.

826
01:07:59,993 --> 01:08:05,791
Well... Very well, then. You seem
to have the support of everyone.

827
01:08:05,957 --> 01:08:08,251
So I'll give my permission.

828
01:08:12,380 --> 01:08:16,885
You've got to raise the money
and get parental consent.

829
01:08:17,052 --> 01:08:19,679
That is not a problem. Thank you.

830
01:08:19,846 --> 01:08:21,473
Thank you, my brothers.

831
01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:23,683
Come on.

832
01:08:38,615 --> 01:08:40,700
Again.

833
01:09:15,652 --> 01:09:17,320
<i>Everything</i>

834
01:09:17,487 --> 01:09:19,531
<i>Joyful, joyful</i>

835
01:09:25,328 --> 01:09:27,831
<i>Fill us with the light of day</i>

836
01:09:35,547 --> 01:09:36,882
Rita?

837
01:09:37,048 --> 01:09:39,050
<i>Come and join the chorus</i>

838
01:09:39,217 --> 01:09:41,678
<i>Mighty, mighty chorus</i>

839
01:09:50,061 --> 01:09:52,480
Mama!
What are you doing home so early?

840
01:09:52,647 --> 01:09:56,943
Mrs Gibbs needs me to do her hair.
What are you doing?

841
01:09:57,110 --> 01:09:58,945
Just fooling with some stuff.

842
01:09:59,112 --> 01:10:01,323
Give me that, please.

843
01:10:01,489 --> 01:10:03,533
Give me that.

844
01:10:04,242 --> 01:10:06,536
And the tape recorder too.

845
01:10:08,622 --> 01:10:11,124
What is this?

846
01:10:11,374 --> 01:10:14,169
It's just some music, ma.

847
01:10:14,336 --> 01:10:18,965
Sister Mary Clarence wants us
to learn it. For the choir.

848
01:10:19,132 --> 01:10:23,053
When were you gonna tell me
that you're in a choir?

849
01:10:23,220 --> 01:10:27,974
Rita, how many times
do we have to go through this?

850
01:10:28,141 --> 01:10:31,311
Singing does not put food
on the table.

851
01:10:31,478 --> 01:10:34,147
Singing does not pay the bills.

852
01:10:34,314 --> 01:10:38,735
Singing is no guarantee to a future,
even if you have talent.

853
01:10:38,902 --> 01:10:40,528
Did you know I can sing?

854
01:10:40,695 --> 01:10:43,323
Your daddy died trying to make it.

855
01:10:43,490 --> 01:10:47,285
What does that have to do with me?
We're a good choir.

856
01:10:47,452 --> 01:10:51,414
We could win
the All-State Music Competition.

857
01:10:51,581 --> 01:10:55,502
Keep your nose in them books
and out of the clouds.

858
01:10:55,669 --> 01:10:57,254
If you'd listen to me...

859
01:10:57,420 --> 01:11:02,717
I know how you feel. But there are a
lot of talented people on the street

860
01:11:02,884 --> 01:11:05,553
singing shoulda coulda wouldas.
Is that how you wanna end up?

861
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:08,932
- You know I don't.
- Good, cos you've got to study.

862
01:11:09,224 --> 01:11:10,684
We have a chance.

863
01:11:10,850 --> 01:11:13,561
The choir and competition are out.

864
01:11:13,728 --> 01:11:14,729
But, mama...

865
01:11:14,896 --> 01:11:17,774
If you "But, mama" me
one more time...

866
01:11:17,941 --> 01:11:23,071
Now, the choir and the competition
is out. You understand?

867
01:11:25,615 --> 01:11:27,701
Yes, ma'am.

868
01:11:52,267 --> 01:11:56,730
With food, lodging, costumes,
transport and gas,

869
01:11:56,896 --> 01:12:00,984
this'll cost about $2,000.
Which is a lot of money.

870
01:12:01,151 --> 01:12:04,362
Don't look at me.
I took a vow of poverty.

871
01:12:04,529 --> 01:12:09,075
The only person that
made money as a nun - Sally Field.

872
01:12:09,242 --> 01:12:12,078
$2,000?!
It might as well be a million.

873
01:12:12,245 --> 01:12:14,372
It's absolutely doable.

874
01:12:14,539 --> 01:12:19,878
The community should be involved -
time they took care of the school.

875
01:12:20,045 --> 01:12:22,088
It's the only way.

876
01:12:22,797 --> 01:12:25,050
Rita, I'm glad you're here.

877
01:12:25,216 --> 01:12:28,762
Make sure
your mom signs this consent form.

878
01:12:28,928 --> 01:12:31,681
If we can raise the buckaroos.

879
01:12:31,848 --> 01:12:36,728
I have to quit the choir for
reasons I can't explain. I'm sorry.

880
01:12:37,062 --> 01:12:39,105
But I gotta leave the choir.

881
01:12:39,272 --> 01:12:41,191
Give us back our consent form.

882
01:12:41,358 --> 01:12:43,401
Stop that!

883
01:12:54,871 --> 01:12:56,956
Just a minute, please.

884
01:13:02,629 --> 01:13:05,465
Hi! I'm Sister Mary Clarence.

885
01:13:05,632 --> 01:13:09,135
I know who you are.
What can I do for you?

886
01:13:10,220 --> 01:13:12,389
Well, Rita left the choir.

887
01:13:12,555 --> 01:13:17,060
I was kinda hoping
you could talk her into coming back.

888
01:13:17,227 --> 01:13:19,479
I don't think I can do that.

889
01:13:19,646 --> 01:13:21,815
Know something, sister?

890
01:13:21,981 --> 01:13:26,444
I don't want to discuss this.
I've got work to do.

891
01:13:26,611 --> 01:13:30,323
If you'll excuse me...
Good day to you.

892
01:13:43,002 --> 01:13:46,506
We're here to collect
some money from you.

893
01:13:46,673 --> 01:13:51,302
That means we need your help.
Put that basket out there.

894
01:13:51,469 --> 01:13:54,722
Give that money.
Give that money, baby.

895
01:13:54,889 --> 01:13:58,685
Give that money.
Come on, girls, do what I do.

896
01:14:21,916 --> 01:14:23,293
Sing it if you know it.

897
01:15:22,936 --> 01:15:24,354
Oh, my!

898
01:15:26,523 --> 01:15:27,690
Are you OK?

899
01:15:27,857 --> 01:15:28,900
All right.

900
01:15:39,827 --> 01:15:40,995
I'm going.

901
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:57,470
I'm going!

902
01:16:04,936 --> 01:16:11,401
And the grand total is, minus
expenses - drum roll, please...

903
01:16:11,568 --> 01:16:14,237
$1,920.17.

904
01:16:14,404 --> 01:16:17,490
Wow! That oughta get us
down there and back.

905
01:16:17,657 --> 01:16:20,451
You're not driving again, are you?

906
01:16:20,618 --> 01:16:23,496
I can drive anything on wheels.
You have a problem with that?

907
01:16:23,663 --> 01:16:24,706
Uh-uh.

908
01:16:24,872 --> 01:16:26,541
It's been a long day.

909
01:16:26,708 --> 01:16:29,335
We've got a lot to do in a few days.

910
01:16:29,502 --> 01:16:33,923
Don't forget to get
the consent forms from the kids.

911
01:16:40,805 --> 01:16:42,890
All right.

912
01:16:43,850 --> 01:16:47,061
- What?
- Nothing. No, it's something.

913
01:16:47,228 --> 01:16:51,482
I just can't believe
you came here and did it again.

914
01:16:51,649 --> 01:16:53,651
You made all this happen.

915
01:16:53,818 --> 01:16:57,196
Everything's gonna be fine now.

916
01:16:58,823 --> 01:17:00,950
You think so?

917
01:17:01,117 --> 01:17:04,329
I really think so.

918
01:17:06,956 --> 01:17:09,208
Thanks. You want some help?

919
01:17:09,375 --> 01:17:12,670
Please.
Look - we have another helper.

920
01:17:13,546 --> 01:17:17,717
I don't know about you sometimes.
You're scary.

921
01:17:27,143 --> 01:17:29,228
Yo, Rita!

922
01:17:29,979 --> 01:17:32,065
Come here!

923
01:17:32,565 --> 01:17:34,651
What's up, Rita?

924
01:17:36,903 --> 01:17:39,155
Mary Clarence
said you quit the choir.

925
01:17:39,322 --> 01:17:41,240
Yeah, I did. So?

926
01:17:41,407 --> 01:17:44,827
So enquiring minds want to know.

927
01:17:44,994 --> 01:17:48,039
If I wanna quit the choir,
it's my business.

928
01:17:48,206 --> 01:17:50,750
It's like the choir's a big joke.

929
01:17:50,917 --> 01:17:55,880
I'm sure we'll have a plethora
of other opportunities!

930
01:17:58,883 --> 01:18:01,344
Rita, look, we got a real shot.

931
01:18:01,511 --> 01:18:07,475
If we're gonna do anything worth
something, we gotta stick together.

932
01:18:07,642 --> 01:18:12,522
Don't you understand?
This is all we got.

933
01:18:12,689 --> 01:18:18,903
This is all right here.
You have to be down. I want you to.

934
01:19:00,278 --> 01:19:02,238
What a mess!

935
01:19:02,405 --> 01:19:03,406
Is that everybody?

936
01:19:03,573 --> 01:19:05,199
Wait for me!

937
01:19:11,497 --> 01:19:13,249
Thank you, Sister.

938
01:19:13,416 --> 01:19:15,168
Nice to see you.

939
01:19:17,378 --> 01:19:19,422
Excuse me. Consent form.

940
01:19:19,589 --> 01:19:22,717
A must. Thank you.

941
01:19:22,884 --> 01:19:24,927
Come on, come on.

942
01:19:32,101 --> 01:19:34,896
Look what I found in the library.

943
01:19:35,730 --> 01:19:39,442
Deloris Van Cartier.
A lounge singer?!

944
01:19:39,609 --> 01:19:42,653
I knew I'd seen her
somewhere before.

945
01:19:42,820 --> 01:19:48,117
"Girlfriend of a vicious mobster."
Oh, dear! A gun moll!

946
01:19:48,284 --> 01:19:53,414
Sister Mary Christine... Clift-...
Sister Mary Fake!

947
01:19:53,581 --> 01:19:57,376
I'll have to call the officials
and remove us from the competition.

948
01:19:57,543 --> 01:20:01,297
No, I don't think
that's such a good idea.

949
01:20:01,464 --> 01:20:03,090
What would you suggest?

950
01:20:03,257 --> 01:20:08,721
She's our responsibility.
We should handle it... personally.

951
01:20:13,226 --> 01:20:17,188
You don't usually drive. Perhaps
one of us with a driver's license...

952
01:20:17,355 --> 01:20:19,774
Nonsense!

953
01:20:21,192 --> 01:20:26,072
Thomas, I know you're busy,
but see that stick on the left?

954
01:20:26,239 --> 01:20:28,574
That's your turning signal.

955
01:20:28,741 --> 01:20:33,454
The other drivers wouldn't be so
hostile if you'd use it.

956
01:20:33,621 --> 01:20:35,540
I've had enough of this.

957
01:20:35,706 --> 01:20:40,336
Where in the Sam Hill
did you people learn how to drive?

958
01:20:44,632 --> 01:20:45,716
Jackass!

959
01:20:45,883 --> 01:20:48,719
Thomas! Jesus Christ!

960
01:20:50,346 --> 01:20:52,431
Rita? I'm home.

961
01:21:13,411 --> 01:21:18,291
"Dear mama - I went to
the All-State Music Competition."

962
01:21:20,209 --> 01:21:24,881
"I never meant to hurt you,
but I had to follow my heart."

963
01:21:25,047 --> 01:21:28,342
"Please forgive me.
I love you. Rita."

964
01:21:32,054 --> 01:21:34,473
<i>Welcome, ladies and gentlemen,</i>

965
01:21:34,640 --> 01:21:38,436
<i>to the 30th
All-State Music Competition.</i>

966
01:21:38,603 --> 01:21:44,650
<i>A gathering of the most talented
young musicians in California.</i>

967
01:21:46,068 --> 01:21:49,906
Let's go, Margaret.
It is Margaret, isn't it?

968
01:21:50,072 --> 01:21:52,408
I can't tell under all that paint.

969
01:21:52,575 --> 01:21:56,579
I hate this thing.
It does nothing for my figure.

970
01:21:56,746 --> 01:21:58,664
Can't I wear something tighter?

971
01:21:58,831 --> 01:22:03,711
You're here to impress the judges
with your voice, not your heinie.

972
01:22:03,878 --> 01:22:09,050
<i>He sent his men unto her grave</i>

973
01:22:09,216 --> 01:22:14,388
<i>To tell where she was buried</i>

974
01:22:14,555 --> 01:22:16,933
<i>And all she said...</i>

975
01:22:18,851 --> 01:22:20,853
- Look what you did!
- I'm sorry.

976
01:22:21,020 --> 01:22:24,482
Put one on the other side.
Start a fashion trend.

977
01:22:24,649 --> 01:22:28,736
Mangbatu women paint their cheeks
as signs of fertility.

978
01:22:28,903 --> 01:22:31,572
On second thought, take it off.

979
01:22:32,615 --> 01:22:34,909
- Dang, man!
- What?

980
01:22:35,076 --> 01:22:37,286
This thing ripped!
What am I supposed to do?

981
01:22:37,453 --> 01:22:40,498
Don't fret. My mother used to say,

982
01:22:40,665 --> 01:22:46,462
"Nothing is impossible if you have
faith and a roll of electrical tape"

983
01:22:46,629 --> 01:22:49,131
Look at my hair! You like my hair?

984
01:22:49,298 --> 01:22:53,094
It looks like a bowl of lard
and you look wack.

985
01:22:54,261 --> 01:22:57,556
I'm so nervous,
I don't think I can go on.

986
01:22:57,723 --> 01:23:00,351
Never mind how you feel.

987
01:23:00,518 --> 01:23:05,272
Think how great you'll make
the audience feel when you sing.

988
01:23:05,439 --> 01:23:08,109
Take a deep breath, and yawn.

989
01:23:09,026 --> 01:23:11,237
See how that relaxes you?

990
01:23:11,404 --> 01:23:18,786
Now, from San Diego, the Oceanview
High School Gospel Choir.

991
01:23:58,701 --> 01:24:02,288
They're good. They're really good.

992
01:24:12,590 --> 01:24:14,550
We have to go backstage.

993
01:24:14,717 --> 01:24:17,094
But how are we going to find them?

994
01:24:17,261 --> 01:24:20,681
Shouldn't be hard.
We look for the choir

995
01:24:20,848 --> 01:24:24,143
that looks like
it just robbed a convenience store.

996
01:24:25,561 --> 01:24:27,521
Great Caesar's ghost!

997
01:24:27,688 --> 01:24:28,814
Passes!

998
01:24:31,567 --> 01:24:35,905
Three times state champions,
the Chapman Choir

999
01:24:36,072 --> 01:24:39,492
from Orange County's
Grant High School.

1000
01:24:52,004 --> 01:24:55,966
<i>Joyful, joyful, we adore thee</i>

1001
01:24:56,133 --> 01:25:00,221
<i>God of glory, Lord of love</i>

1002
01:25:00,387 --> 01:25:04,600
<i>Hearts unfold like flowers before thee</i>

1003
01:25:04,767 --> 01:25:07,603
<i>Opening to the sun above</i>

1004
01:25:07,770 --> 01:25:09,480
They're singing our song!

1005
01:25:09,647 --> 01:25:11,190
They're like an army!

1006
01:25:11,357 --> 01:25:15,194
<i>Drive the dark of doubt away</i>

1007
01:25:15,361 --> 01:25:18,781
<i>Giver of immortal...</i>

1008
01:25:19,115 --> 01:25:21,158
Doughnuts!

1009
01:25:25,287 --> 01:25:26,705
Hello?

1010
01:25:26,872 --> 01:25:28,833
Father Thomas! It's us!

1011
01:25:28,999 --> 01:25:30,918
Colour me surprised.

1012
01:25:31,085 --> 01:25:36,132
The kids will burst when they find
you've come to support them.

1013
01:25:36,298 --> 01:25:39,885
We didn't come
to support the children.

1014
01:25:40,052 --> 01:25:44,807
Father Maurice and Mr Crisp will pull
them out of the competition.

1015
01:25:44,974 --> 01:25:47,226
Why would they wanna do that?

1016
01:25:47,393 --> 01:25:48,936
Because

1017
01:25:49,103 --> 01:25:52,356
Sister Mary Clarence isn't a sister.

1018
01:25:52,523 --> 01:25:54,608
She's a Las Vegas showgirl.

1019
01:25:54,775 --> 01:25:59,655
Who'd have thunk!
She has so many nun-like qualities.

1020
01:25:59,822 --> 01:26:01,699
Not to mention the outfit.

1021
01:26:01,866 --> 01:26:07,204
Yes. Father Maurice and Mr Crisp
are looking for them right now.

1022
01:26:07,371 --> 01:26:12,168
That's a good idea. I think
we should go look for her too.

1023
01:26:12,334 --> 01:26:14,670
Good idea. I agree. Bye-bye.

1024
01:26:14,837 --> 01:26:16,881
See you.

1025
01:26:19,675 --> 01:26:23,262
<i>Ever singing, march we onward</i>

1026
01:26:23,429 --> 01:26:24,471
They got it going.

1027
01:26:24,638 --> 01:26:28,267
Look at those robes.
We'll look like suckers.

1028
01:26:28,434 --> 01:26:31,145
All of a sudden,
I don't feel good.

1029
01:26:31,312 --> 01:26:38,277
<i>In the triumph song of life</i>

1030
01:26:44,617 --> 01:26:46,702
Very good.

1031
01:27:13,395 --> 01:27:15,814
- Why aren't you ready?
- You saw that other choir?

1032
01:27:15,981 --> 01:27:19,777
- We can't win against them.
- We'll be laughed off the stage.

1033
01:27:19,944 --> 01:27:21,654
I didn't come to be embarrassed.

1034
01:27:21,820 --> 01:27:23,656
They sang our song, much better!

1035
01:27:23,822 --> 01:27:25,282
We're going home.

1036
01:27:25,449 --> 01:27:29,954
You're all ready to leave
cos you got scared?

1037
01:27:33,040 --> 01:27:38,837
It's your MO. It's how you operate.
"Something new - better run away."

1038
01:27:39,004 --> 01:27:43,217
Forget the people who busted
their butt to get you here.

1039
01:27:43,384 --> 01:27:47,179
I'm gonna remind you - if you wanna
go somewhere, be somebody,

1040
01:27:47,346 --> 01:27:50,599
you better wake up
and pay attention.

1041
01:27:50,766 --> 01:27:54,979
If every time something scary
comes up, you run,

1042
01:27:55,145 --> 01:27:59,149
you'll be runnin'
for the rest of your lives.

1043
01:28:03,821 --> 01:28:06,240
You guys, she is right.

1044
01:28:06,407 --> 01:28:08,659
If we do this, we gotta be slammin'.

1045
01:28:19,503 --> 01:28:22,214
St Francis Academy? Get ready.

1046
01:28:28,762 --> 01:28:33,642
I'm terribly sorry.
What a sea of humanity. Sorry.

1047
01:28:33,809 --> 01:28:37,813
Father Maurice!
We thought you wasn't coming.

1048
01:28:41,233 --> 01:28:42,651
Hello. Yes.

1049
01:28:42,818 --> 01:28:45,029
- Glad you're here.
- Thank you.

1050
01:28:45,195 --> 01:28:47,072
We'll win with you here.

1051
01:28:47,239 --> 01:28:50,409
I'm glad to be here
to support the choir.

1052
01:28:50,576 --> 01:28:56,081
But something has been brought
to my attention. Something...

1053
01:28:56,248 --> 01:28:58,834
I don't know how to say this.

1054
01:28:59,001 --> 01:29:01,587
But I just have to say that...

1055
01:29:01,754 --> 01:29:04,089
you children are amazing!

1056
01:29:04,256 --> 01:29:09,136
I almost didn't recognise you.
There's such a glow in you.

1057
01:29:09,303 --> 01:29:12,556
Remarkable. You all look like angels.

1058
01:29:12,723 --> 01:29:15,225
Wait till you hear 'em sing.

1059
01:29:15,392 --> 01:29:17,353
You guys, places. Let's go.

1060
01:29:28,030 --> 01:29:30,324
Father Maurice, what are you doing?

1061
01:29:30,491 --> 01:29:32,785
I decided to let them sing.

1062
01:29:34,828 --> 01:29:37,539
- Do you know what you've done?
- What did I do?

1063
01:29:37,706 --> 01:29:41,126
Didn't you call the archdiocese
people about Sister Mary Fake?

1064
01:29:41,293 --> 01:29:42,961
I thought I'd tell them
when I saw them.

1065
01:29:43,128 --> 01:29:46,340
- Are they here?
- I think they're here.

1066
01:29:46,507 --> 01:29:48,175
- But you haven't told them?
- Not yet.

1067
01:29:48,342 --> 01:29:52,971
Well, I'll tell them. I'll make sure
they know. Where are they?

1068
01:29:53,138 --> 01:29:56,850
Mr Crisp, we'll help you find them.
Won't we, guys?

1069
01:29:57,017 --> 01:29:59,853
A few minutes ago,
they went that way.

1070
01:30:00,020 --> 01:30:01,522
Are you sure?

1071
01:30:01,688 --> 01:30:03,690
- I saw too.
- I saw with him.

1072
01:30:03,857 --> 01:30:05,901
Let's go!

1073
01:30:06,777 --> 01:30:08,112
We just came down here!

1074
01:30:08,278 --> 01:30:10,823
They went down the hall here.

1075
01:30:10,989 --> 01:30:15,911
They were saying something
about the ventilation system.

1076
01:30:16,078 --> 01:30:19,164
Have you been drinking
the sacramental wine?

1077
01:30:19,331 --> 01:30:20,332
Mr Crisp!

1078
01:30:20,499 --> 01:30:23,252
They're in here. I can hear voices.

1079
01:30:23,419 --> 01:30:25,546
Sure you can hear voices!

1080
01:30:25,712 --> 01:30:28,340
- There they are. After you.
- What are you talking about?

1081
01:30:28,507 --> 01:30:30,843
- Excuse me.
- Wait a minute!

1082
01:30:31,009 --> 01:30:34,054
Get something
to hold this door with.

1083
01:30:34,221 --> 01:30:36,849
Not this! This is dessert!

1084
01:30:37,015 --> 01:30:39,059
Give me that thing!

1085
01:30:40,102 --> 01:30:43,147
Open the door! It's dark in here!

1086
01:30:43,313 --> 01:30:47,317
Father, forgive us.
We know exactly what we do!

1087
01:30:56,702 --> 01:30:59,413
That last choir was rather good.

1088
01:31:02,207 --> 01:31:05,669
What she's done with the children
is amazing.

1089
01:31:05,836 --> 01:31:09,965
Well, Sister Mary Clarence
is no ordinary nun.

1090
01:31:10,132 --> 01:31:12,551
You don't have to tell me that.

1091
01:31:12,718 --> 01:31:16,263
You're not angry with me
for misleading you?

1092
01:31:16,430 --> 01:31:18,307
Not at all.

1093
01:31:18,474 --> 01:31:21,685
You're free to fool me
any time you want.

1094
01:31:22,019 --> 01:31:24,688
Now, ladies and gentlemen,

1095
01:31:24,855 --> 01:31:29,568
from San Francisco,
the choir of St Francis High School,

1096
01:31:29,735 --> 01:31:33,113
under the direction of
Sister Mary Clarence,

1097
01:31:33,280 --> 01:31:36,867
also singing "Joyful, Joyful".

1098
01:32:25,749 --> 01:32:32,506
<i>Joyful, joyful, Lord, we adore thee</i>

1099
01:32:33,924 --> 01:32:38,428
<i>God of glory, Lord of love</i>

1100
01:32:40,973 --> 01:32:46,937
<i>Hearts unfold like flowers before thee</i>

1101
01:32:47,104 --> 01:32:50,274
Your teacher says
take off your robes.

1102
01:32:50,440 --> 01:32:54,069
Do it quickly. I don't know.
Just take them off.

1103
01:32:54,236 --> 01:32:58,031
Put on anything you want. We're gonna
go out there comfortable.

1104
01:32:58,198 --> 01:33:00,242
Some of us.

1105
01:33:00,659 --> 01:33:07,749
<i>Drive the dark of doubt away</i>

1106
01:33:10,377 --> 01:33:18,427
<i>Giver of immortal gladness</i>

1107
01:33:18,594 --> 01:33:22,723
<i>Fill us With the light</i>

1108
01:33:32,524 --> 01:33:35,611
<i>Of day</i>

1109
01:33:46,496 --> 01:33:50,125
<i>Joyful, joyful, Lord, we adore thee</i>

1110
01:33:50,417 --> 01:33:53,754
<i>God of glory, Lord of love</i>

1111
01:33:55,547 --> 01:33:59,092
<i>Hearts unfold like flowers before thee</i>

1112
01:33:59,301 --> 01:34:02,512
<i>Hail thee as the sun above</i>

1113
01:34:03,347 --> 01:34:07,809
<i>Melt the clouds of sin
Sin and sadness</i>

1114
01:34:07,976 --> 01:34:11,313
<i>Drive the dark of doubt away</i>

1115
01:34:11,605 --> 01:34:16,360
<i>Drive it away
Giver of immortal gladness</i>

1116
01:34:16,652 --> 01:34:21,156
<i>Fill us
Fill us with the light of day</i>

1117
01:34:23,325 --> 01:34:24,409
<i>Check the rhyme!</i>

1118
01:34:24,576 --> 01:34:25,827
<i>Joyful, joyful</i>

1119
01:34:25,994 --> 01:34:27,120
<i>Lord, we adore thee</i>

1120
01:34:27,287 --> 01:34:29,081
<i>And in my life
I put none before thee</i>

1121
01:34:29,331 --> 01:34:32,918
<i>Since I was young, I came to know
You was the only way to go</i>

1122
01:34:33,085 --> 01:34:35,796
So <i>I have come to an understanding</i>

1123
01:34:35,962 --> 01:34:38,006
<i>That I'm down with the King
So now I'm demanding</i>

1124
01:34:38,173 --> 01:34:39,966
<i>That you tell me who you're down with</i>

1125
01:34:40,133 --> 01:34:41,593
<i>Cos I'm down with G-O-D!</i>

1126
01:34:41,760 --> 01:34:44,096
<i>- You down with G-O-D?
- Yeah, you know me</i>

1127
01:34:48,642 --> 01:34:51,311
<i>- Who's down with G-O-D?
- Everybody!</i>

1128
01:34:51,478 --> 01:34:53,021
<i>Come and join the chorus</i>

1129
01:34:53,188 --> 01:34:55,232
<i>The mighty, mighty chorus</i>

1130
01:34:55,399 --> 01:34:59,236
<i>Which the morning stars began</i>

1131
01:34:59,528 --> 01:35:03,615
<i>The Father of love is rising over us</i>

1132
01:35:03,782 --> 01:35:04,950
<i>By the Way</i>

1133
01:35:05,117 --> 01:35:07,619
<i>What have you done for him lately?</i>

1134
01:35:12,416 --> 01:35:16,461
<i>What have you done for him lately?</i>

1135
01:35:17,504 --> 01:35:20,590
<i>He watches over everything</i>

1136
01:35:20,757 --> 01:35:22,926
<i>So we sing</i>

1137
01:35:23,260 --> 01:35:24,886
<i>Joyful, joyful</i>

1138
01:35:25,303 --> 01:35:28,515
<i>Lord, we adore thee</i>

1139
01:35:28,682 --> 01:35:31,893
<i>God of glory, Lord of love</i>

1140
01:35:33,395 --> 01:35:35,814
<i>Hearts unfold like flowers before thee</i>

1141
01:35:35,981 --> 01:35:40,068
<i>Hail thee as the sun above</i>

1142
01:35:40,235 --> 01:35:44,364
<i>Melt the clouds of sin
Sin and sadness</i>

1143
01:35:44,614 --> 01:35:49,161
<i>Drive the dark of doubt away</i>

1144
01:35:49,327 --> 01:35:53,540
<i>Drive it all away
Giver of immortal gladness</i>

1145
01:35:53,707 --> 01:35:55,751
<i>Fill us</i>

1146
01:35:56,168 --> 01:35:57,836
<i>Fill us with the light of day</i>

1147
01:36:00,172 --> 01:36:02,883
<i>Oh, we need you, yes we do</i>

1148
01:36:06,887 --> 01:36:08,930
<i>Fill us</i>

1149
01:36:09,097 --> 01:36:11,975
<i>With the light of day, Lord</i>

1150
01:36:12,976 --> 01:36:16,146
<i>Hear us as we pray, Lord</i>

1151
01:36:30,911 --> 01:36:32,913
<i>Fill us with the light of day</i>

1152
01:36:33,914 --> 01:36:36,082
<i>Light of day</i>

1153
01:37:00,941 --> 01:37:05,445
And now, the moment
we've all been waiting for.

1154
01:37:05,612 --> 01:37:10,575
But first, let's give
all the contestants a nice big hand.

1155
01:37:16,915 --> 01:37:18,416
Thank you.

1156
01:37:18,583 --> 01:37:21,044
The third runner-up,

1157
01:37:21,211 --> 01:37:25,632
Pinewood High School

1158
01:37:29,219 --> 01:37:32,514
The second runner-up,
Oceanview High School,

1159
01:37:32,681 --> 01:37:35,350
San Diego Gospel Choir.

1160
01:37:43,775 --> 01:37:46,528
First runner-up,

1161
01:37:46,695 --> 01:37:50,740
Grant High School Orange County
Chapman Choir.

1162
01:37:58,957 --> 01:38:01,459
The grand prize winner,

1163
01:38:01,626 --> 01:38:04,296
St Francis High School,

1164
01:38:04,462 --> 01:38:06,506
San Francisco!

1165
01:38:45,211 --> 01:38:46,838
Simply outstanding.

1166
01:38:47,005 --> 01:38:48,548
What a performance!

1167
01:38:48,715 --> 01:38:50,383
Good evening.

1168
01:38:50,550 --> 01:38:53,929
What a surprise to see you. You're
aware that the school that just won

1169
01:38:54,095 --> 01:38:57,015
is the school you are about to close?

1170
01:38:57,182 --> 01:38:59,851
You must be kidding!
With a choir like that?

1171
01:39:00,018 --> 01:39:05,023
- Get ready for next year!
- I'm so pleased you feel that way.

1172
01:39:05,190 --> 01:39:06,232
Mr Crisp!

1173
01:39:06,399 --> 01:39:10,403
Just the people I want to see!
You have been deceived.

1174
01:39:10,570 --> 01:39:13,031
What's he talking about?

1175
01:39:13,198 --> 01:39:17,535
- This Sister Mary Clarence!
- You have been deceived.

1176
01:39:17,702 --> 01:39:19,454
Actually, it was Mr Crisp...

1177
01:39:19,621 --> 01:39:21,373
It was Mr Crisp's idea?

1178
01:39:21,539 --> 01:39:25,043
He did it to keep St Francis
from closing. And it worked.

1179
01:39:25,210 --> 01:39:26,962
St Francis isn't closing?

1180
01:39:27,128 --> 01:39:29,422
No, St Francis isn't closing.

1181
01:39:29,589 --> 01:39:34,219
We knew you wanted early retirement.
We didn't know you were being modest.

1182
01:39:34,386 --> 01:39:36,054
Oh, I...

1183
01:39:36,221 --> 01:39:38,807
They can't put a prize bull like you
out to pasture.

1184
01:39:38,974 --> 01:39:41,685
There must be
a real trouble spot somewhere

1185
01:39:41,851 --> 01:39:46,064
that could use Mr Crisp's
extraordinary talents.

1186
01:39:46,231 --> 01:39:49,693
That woman! That woman!

1187
01:39:49,859 --> 01:39:51,945
Go with God, Crispy!

1188
01:39:52,946 --> 01:39:58,326
How does Sister Mary Clarence
perform night after night in Vegas?

1189
01:39:58,493 --> 01:40:01,371
She's used to all this.
We're the nervous wrecks

1190
01:40:01,538 --> 01:40:03,581
All these people!

1191
01:40:04,416 --> 01:40:06,501
Vegas?!

1192
01:40:19,597 --> 01:40:21,766
Mama, it was just this one time.

1193
01:40:21,933 --> 01:40:23,977
I'm sorry.
I'll never disobey you again.

1194
01:40:24,144 --> 01:40:26,146
Please don't be mad at me.

1195
01:40:26,312 --> 01:40:28,231
Just stop.

1196
01:40:29,816 --> 01:40:31,901
You're incredible.

1197
01:40:33,153 --> 01:40:35,238
And I'm proud of you.

1198
01:40:36,865 --> 01:40:38,950
I'm very proud of you.

1199
01:40:47,751 --> 01:40:51,212
Congratulations! All of you!

1200
01:40:51,379 --> 01:40:53,965
Sister Mary Clarence,
you've done it again.

1201
01:40:54,132 --> 01:40:57,177
And because of your success,

1202
01:40:57,343 --> 01:41:02,182
the archdiocese have decided
to keep St Francis open!

1203
01:41:02,974 --> 01:41:05,393
You owe me.

1204
01:41:05,560 --> 01:41:07,479
I feel so happy, I'm gonna cry.

1205
01:41:07,645 --> 01:41:11,232
I'm a sucker
for happy endings myself.

1206
01:41:11,399 --> 01:41:14,277
You two! Oh, what the hell!

1207
01:41:17,655 --> 01:41:19,199
You ain't really a nun.

1208
01:41:19,365 --> 01:41:22,118
You don't talk like a nun.
And you don't act like one.

1209
01:41:22,285 --> 01:41:25,371
Rumour has it
you're a Las Vegas showgirl.

1210
01:41:25,538 --> 01:41:29,667
Let me point out one thing,
my dear Ahmal.

1211
01:41:30,210 --> 01:41:35,090
I am not now, nor have I ever been,
a Las Vegas showgirl.

1212
01:41:37,092 --> 01:41:40,220
I am a headliner.

1213
01:41:42,180 --> 01:41:45,350
Now wait a minute!

1214
01:41:45,517 --> 01:41:48,686
And one, two, one, two.

1215
01:43:19,861 --> 01:43:21,738
Just as fast as I can!
