1:28:00
You're thanking me?
1:28:04
After all your objections to my ideas...
1:28:10
and after questioning
my fitness to be a nun?
1:28:15
I only voiced
your doubts and your thoughts, Sister.
1:28:19
And if I spoke to you in anger...
1:28:21
it was because
I was also questioning myself.
1:28:28
Self-examination is always painful...
1:28:32
and disturbing.
1:28:38
I know now the cloister isn't always a place.
1:28:41
It can be a state of mind.
1:28:45
And if I can't get out of that cloister...
1:28:49
it's time I got out of St. Francis
and let someone else take over...
1:28:52
who can equip our children
for the kind of life they have to live.
1:28:58
- Mother, you can't mean that.
- Now, Sister...
1:29:02
if you were planning
to be charitable to me, don't.
1:29:07
It would be out of character.
1:29:12
I just think...
1:29:15
that it took more courage
for you to say what you just said...
1:29:19
than it would take for me
to march in 100 picket lines.
1:29:24
If you leave St. Francis,
it'll be over my dead body.
1:29:29
I know you, and what you are...
1:29:33
and if you leave,
Lord knows who'll take your place.
1:29:37
I just couldn't go through all this again.
1:29:42
Damn, I can't find my handkerchief.
1:29:46
Sister...
1:29:49
- please watch your language.
- Yes, Mother. Thank you.
1:29:56
Mother...
