Sister Act

Who can name all the apostles?

Yes, Deloris?

John, Paul, George,

and Ringo.

Deloris Wilson, you are the most unruly, disobedient girl in this school.

Now, I want you to march right up to that blackboard

and write the names of all the apostles alphabetically.

This is enough!

You are hopeless and I wash my hands of you.

Mark my words, Deloris.

If you continue on this disruptive track, it will lead straight to the devil.

Have you any idea what girls like you become?

All right, wrap this up, okay? Wrap it up.

Go!

Goodnight, ladies and gentlemen.

You don't give a shit! Let's get the hell out of here.

So I guess eating is out of the question, huh?

Your next show is in 20 minutes.

You still haven't told me what she said.

What who said?

"What who said." The one with the moustache. The one you're married to.

- You are so damn hot. - And you are so full of it.

You didn't tell her, did you? I knew it. I knew you weren't gonna tell her. I knew it.

I want us to be together, babe.

I want us to be an honest and decent couple.

I do.

I went to confession today.

You went to confession? Like "confession" confession?

You know, where you kneel in the box, you tell the priest your deepest secrets.

I did that today for us, babe.

I told Father Antonelli I was in love and that it was a special love.

A love for all the ages and that I want to be with her.

And what did he say?

He said that f I got divorced, I'd burn in hell for all eternity.

- Hand me my loafers, darling. - No, you can get your own damn shoes.

So, what does this mean? Is this no? Does this mean no?

- What does it mean? - No, not no. Just not now!

Just get out, okay? Just go.

You want me to go against a priest?

Get excommunicated?

Okay.

I'll eat the thing you made.

- Is that what this is about? - No, that's not what it's about.

It's about you leaving. Good night. Good night.

I'll call.

You're quitting just because he won't leave his wife?

No, not just because he won't leave his wife.

I'm quitting for a lot of reasons. It's something I have to do.

- What's gonna happen to the act? - What do you mean?

You're gonna get somebody else. It's not a big loss.

You put everything together.

You pick all the music, you tell us where to stand and everything.

Yeah, yeah, I'm a real genius. That's why we're packing them in.

And don't you pack any more of my makeup in that bag.

Don't think I don't know what you're doing.

What do you want?

And don't you ever knock?

Hey, girl, you ain't got nothing that I haven't seen before, all right?

Yeah, well, stop trying to memorise it.

- Hey, Michelle. - Oh, please.

Hey, Deloris, here, This is from Vince.

Hope it's his dead body.

- With love. - Oh, really?

- Yeah. - Then why didn't he bring it to me himself?

Oh, he wanted to, but he's got a big meeting upstairs.

- Hey, Tina. - Hi.

Could you say goodnight to these clowns, please?

I'm getting a headache. I don't want them in here. Get out.

- Let's go. - All right, I'm going.

Take it easy.

Well, at least you got something out of all this.

- Come on, Deloris, open this up. - Yes.

Why should I open this? I don't give a damn what's in that box. I don't care.

- See what he bought. - I wanna see.

- Why? Why? - I wanna see.

Fine, okay? Let's look and see what it is, then.

- Oh, look at this. It's mink. - Oh, check it out.

It's purple mink, Deloris.

Oh, that's beautiful. Look. Feel.

Well, obviously, Mr. LaRocca feels he can win me back

by sending me this absolutely fabulous coat.

- Put it on! - It's beautiful.

See, some girls would fall for that, but not me.

I think I'm gonna make him wait a little while before I just let him know that I...

What?

Connie LaRocca.

It's his wife's coat.

The man gave me his wife's coat.

Oh, I don't believe this.

Put it back on. It's yours now. You deserve it.

No, I don't deserve it. I haven't earned it.

You don't earn other people's wives' fur coats, okay?

I think it's time to just go upstairs and give it back to him

and get the hell out of this dump.

How long you been with me, Ernie?

Three years, Mr. LaRocca.

Two as a croupier, one as your personal limo driver.

Ernie, you know what's important to me? What counts?

Loyalty, my man. Loyalty is what counts to me.

- I've been very loyal, Mr. LaRocca. - Gee, Ernie, that's not what I hear.

I hear you went down to the police station last night

and talked with Lieutenant Souther.

I hear you were there for over three hours.

I went.

I went, but I didn't tell him anything.

Again not what I heard.

Goodbye, Vince. I'm leaving and don't try to stop me.

I'm going to L.A. where it's nice and warm.

People don't need fur coats from their boyfriends' wives' closet.

Goodbye, Vince. I'm going to Miami where the sun shines.

I know they're trying to get something on me, Ernie,

but so far they've come up with bubkas.

They called Willy and Joey in there, but they were out in 20 minutes.

What were you doing there for three hours, Ernie?

I know you don't think I have any talent, Vince, but I do.

And I'm gonna leave you and I'm going to Chicago.

Tell me what you told Souther.

I won't be able to sleep tonight if I don't know.

I've always wanted to go to New York.

I know if I went to New York, I could get some things together, Vince.

I could. I could.

I could.

That's all I told them, I swear it.

Thanks, Ernie. Now I can sleep.

Say goodnight, Ernie.

No, no, no, that's...

Babe.

Deloris. Deloris. Is there a problem?

With the coat?

With the...? No, not with the coat. The coat's fine.

It's fine. It's fine, thank you.

Is that why you came here tonight? To thank me?

Yeah. Thank you.

And to say you're sorry.

About tonight and the things you said.

Forgotten. Completely. You understand me?

Forgotten.

Of course. Of course, it's forgotten.

That's my girl. My girl in mink.

- Will you be home soon? - Yeah, yeah.

- Go ahead. - Okay.

Hey, Vince, is she okay?

I don't know, Vince. She seemed kind of upset.

- She did? - Yeah.

Bring her back now for a talk.

And if she runs, then what?

Take care of it.

Deloris!

Deloris, Vinny wants to talk!

- Which way? - That way.

Hey, hey, taxi!

Hey, hey, hey. Let's go, let's go, let's go. Go, go, go!

And then Vince looks at Ernie and says, "Say good night."

And then Vince looks at Joey and Joey shot him.

I mean, he just shot him in the chair. Just boom! He blew this guy away.

Sorry I'm late. I'm Lieutenant Souther. Eddie Souther.

How do you do? I'm Deloris Van Cartier.

Listen, this guy was a simple limo driver. Right? He was a limo driver.

So maybe he made a couple wrong turns in his life. That's no reason to kill him.

I've never seen anybody killed before.

Sometimes you pass on the freeway, you see a couple of people dead...

Ms. Van Cartier, you're Vince LaRocca's girlfriend, right?

Well, you could sort of... Maybe. It depends how you look at it.

The guy just tried to kill me, so I don't think that cements our relationship.

Well, you realise he's a major underworld figure, don't you?

He's into drug-dealing, money-laundering.

We've been investigating Mr. LaRocca for the last 18 months.

We've got video tapes, we've got surveillance photos.

Am I in any of those videos?

No, no, no. Criminal activity. The tapes aren't enough to convict him.

Apparently there's a lot you don't know about Vince.

I mean, the last two people that saw him in action kind of disappeared.

What do you mean, "kind of disappeared"?

Well, we found a piece here and a piece there.

But don't you worry. Here, have a cup of coffee.

You're safe now and we're gonna see that you stay that way. That's our job.

If you help us, we can help you.

If you testify against Vince about what you saw,

we can put him away for the rest of his life.

Are you crazy? You're telling me this guy's a mad criminal and you want me to testify?

Do you know what's gonna happen?

- He'll track me down and kill me. - Can I call you Deloris?

Call me anything as long as you keep me alive.

We wouldn't put you at risk if we couldn't protect you.

- Right. - It'll only take a couple of months

to get a court date.

Just a couple of months? Only a couple...?

Why not a year? How about a couple of decades?

Two months. We hide you out, then you testify.

No, no, no.

It's just for a little while. Then you can come back.

Really? What are you gonna do?

Are you gonna stick me in a bag and bury me? Forget it!

If you testify,

I'm gonna put you in the last place on earth that Vince would ever look for you.

- Nice church, huh? - Yeah, it's very nice.

Look, what am I gonna be, Quasimodo in the bat belfry? What is this?

- I want you to stay here for a while. - Where?

In the convent. It's the safest place in the world.

You think Vince is gonna look for you in a convent?
