He's stuck, that's what it is. He's in between worlds. You know it happens sometimes that the spirit gets yanked out so fast that the essence still feels it has work to do here.

I don't think I'm rambling, I'm just answering the question. He's got a' attitude now.
Sam Wheat:
I don't have an attitude.
Oda Mae Brown:
Yes, you do have an attitude. If you didn't have an attitude, you would not have raised your voice at me now would you?

God dammit...
Oda Mae Brown:
Don't you "God dammit" me. Don't you take the Lord's name in vain with me. I don't take that!

Sister Act (1992)
Character name:
Deloris Van Cartier
Character Quote(s):
Eddie: Nice church, huh?
Delores: Yes, very nice. Look, what am I gonna be? Quasimodo in the belfry? What is this?
Delores: You must be out of your... You know what? I'm gonna go back and work this out with Vince. You're a lunatic! I'm not gonna be in no damn convent with these people. These people don't even have sex!
Delores: [after putting on the habit] Oh, no! No, no, no! I can't do this. I'm sorry. This is fine for covering a little bulge, but now I've got holster hips!
Reverend Mother: People wish to kill you. Anyone who's met you I imagine. A disguise is necessary to protect us all. While you are here, you will conduct yourself as a nun. Only I will know who and what you truly are. You will draw no attention to yourself whatsoever.
Delores: But look at me! I'm a nun! I'm a-- I'm a penguin!
Reverend Mother: As from now and until you leave, you are Sister Mary Clarence.
Delores: Mary Clarence? Like Clarence Williams III from The Mod Squad?
Reverend Mother: Mary is in deference to our Holy Mother. The Clarence is in honor of Saint Clarence of Concordia. There are 3 vows every nun must accept: The vow of poverty.
Delores: Mmm.
Reverend Mother: The vow of obedience.
Delores: Mm-Hmm.
Reverend Mother: And the vow of chastity.
Delores: I am outta here with that.
Delores: [prays] Bless us, oh Lord, for these Thy gifts which we are about to recieve. And yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of no food, I will fear no hunger. We want you to give us this day, our daily bread. And to the republic for which it stands, and by the power invested in me, I pronounce us ready to eat. Amen.
Dolores: There's nothing wrong with my life. You know, before I came here, I had a career, I had friends, I had clothing that fit. Before I came here, I was okay.
Delores: What are you gonna do? Stick me in a bag and bury me? Forget it!
Reverend Mother: Girl groups? Boogie woogie on the piano? What were you thinking?
Delores: I was thinkin' more like Vegas, y'know, get some butts in the seats.
Reverend Mother: And what next? Popcorn? Curtain calls? This is not a theater or a casino.
Delores: Yeah, but that's the problem. See, people like going to theaters, and they like going to casinos, but they don't like coming to church. Why? Because it's a drag. But we could change all that, see? We could pack this joint.
Reverend Mother: Through blasphemy? You have corrupted the entire choir!
Delores: How can you say that? I worked my butt of with these women! They've given up their free time to do this, and they're GOOD! I mean, sister, we could, we could ROCK this place!
Eddie: Can I call you Dolores?
Dolores: You can call me anything you want as long as you keep me alive.
Delores: What am I gonna do here? I'm gonna go crazy! There's nothing but a lot of white women dressed as nuns! What am I gonna do here?
Eddie: Pray.
Delores: Pray?
Delores: I can't Go! I'm singing for the Pope tomorrow!
Eddie: You gonna be singing for St. Peter if you don't get your buns out of here!

Character name:
Sister Mary Clarence
Character Quote(s):
Sister Mary Clarence: [about her leading the choir] I was thinking "Vegas", you know, "Get some butts in the seats."
Sister Mary Patrick: We did it! We actually sang a chord!
Sister Mary Clarence: Yeah. You sang a chord for two seconds. The next thing you have to do is listen to each other. That's a big key. Big key, you must listen to each other if you're going to be a group.
Sister Mary Lazarus: I knew that.
Sister Mary Clarence: Mary Lazarus, as soon as I walked through that door I knew that you knew that. Let me ask you something, you're someone in favor of hard work and discipline, right?
Sister Mary Lazarus: Of course, I'm a nun! Four popes now.
Sister Mary Clarence: Four? Wow. Let me ask you, how often do they rehearse?
Sister Mary Lazarus: Twice a week, couple hours.
Sister Mary Clarence: Not enough. I mean listen to them, they really need a lot of work.
Sister Mary Lazarus: Do you really think they could get better?
Sister Mary Clarence: I don't know, they're pretty raw.
Sister Mary Lazarus: Wet behind the ears.
Sister Mary Patrick: Oh please let us try.
Sister Mary Clarence: This is gonna be hell.
Sister Mary Lazarus: Tell me about it.
Sister Mary Clarence: I can't leave, they need me.
Eddie: A bunch of nuns? What for? Relationship guidance? Make up tips?
Sister Mary Clarence: You listen to me. We are talking about the pope. This means a great deal to them and they have worked very hard for this and they deserve it. |
