:26:00
That's a fact.
:26:02
And I'll tell him
that if I don't get out of here...
:26:06
I'm seriously contemplating an act of...
:26:10
- Desperation.
- Yeah.
:26:14
Desperation.
:26:17
The only desperation around here,
Mr. Petrie, is that of the sisters...
:26:21
who cope with that product
of progressive education...
:26:24
you have inflicted upon us,
namely, Rachel Devery.
:26:28
I hardly expect you...
:26:30
to completely accept New Trends'
creative concept of education.
:26:34
It's an abomination.
:26:35
- See here, Reverend Mother...
- You see here, young man.
:26:38
In the seven months
that child has been at St. Francis...
:26:40
there hasn't been a day
the sisters haven't had to struggle...
:26:43
with her colossal ignorance
in elementary matters...
:26:46
as reading, writing, and arithmetic.
:26:47
Not mathematics, mind you, arithmetic.
:26:50
As for the social graces, I'm convinced...
:26:52
that your school encourages barbarism...
:26:54
and concerns itself only with freethinking,
freewheeling, and finger painting.
:26:59
The finest educational minds in the country
happen to be on our side.
:27:04
God is on ours.
:27:17
Then what did she say to him?
:27:19
I keep telling you,
you don't have to whisper.
:27:22
Sister Puddy could sleep
through a blastoff. Watch.
:27:31
- It's incredible.
- I keep testing her. It passes the time.
:27:37
All right, then what did she say to him?
:27:39
Mother Superior told Mr. Petrie...
:27:41
that having met him,
she could understand me.
:27:44
Whatever that means.
:27:46
- And I've got to do the pots all week.
- Oh, heck.
:27:49
Mother Superior said that the detergent
might help to wash away my sins.
:27:56
- Listen.
- What?
