1:06:01
-Oh?
-No, no, I-I've heard, you know.
1:06:03
Sisters, you're truly
an inspiration.
1:06:05
And I've asked you here because
I bear remarkable news.
1:06:08
Now try to remain calm.
1:06:10
What I'm about to say is
nothing short of a miracle.
1:06:13
Well, I didn't believe it
myself at filrst.
1:06:15
Monsignor, for goodness sake,
what is it?
1:06:17
Oh, I'm sorry, Sister. It's just
that it's so momentous, I'm
still adjusting to the shock.
1:06:22
The Pope--
the Pope himself--
1:06:24
has heard of our choir
here at St Katherine's.
1:06:26
And when he visits
San Francisco next weekend,
1:06:29
despite his inordinately
busy schedule,
1:06:31
he's requested a special concert
here on Sunday night.
1:06:34
No. No.
1:06:36
Oh, I'm dying. I'm dying.
1:06:38
Oh, Sisters. Oh, Sisters,
this is indeed glorious news.
1:06:43
Oh, Monsignor, we're-we're
both humbled and honoured.
1:06:46
And on such a supremely
solemn occasion,
1:06:49
I do feel a traditional
programme would be best.
1:06:52
You mean ''traditional''
like the old way?
1:06:54
We're speaking of His Holiness,
Mary Clarence,
1:06:57
not a neighbourhood block party.
1:06:59
The pontiff commands
the utmost respect and humility.
1:07:02
Your more secular entertainments
would be totally out of place.
1:07:06
But-But, Reverend Mother,
everyone loves our new style.
1:07:08
It's brought people
back to the church.
1:07:10
And that's why he's coming.
I mean, because we're doing
something new and different.
1:07:13
Well, I feel this can be
settled by a simple vote.
1:07:16
- A vote?
- Of course, Mary Clarence.
1:07:19
A convent
is not a police state.
1:07:21
I'm-- I'm sure the sisters
are more than capable...
1:07:23
of reaching a mature
and dignifiled consensus.
1:07:26
Right. Now, all those in favour
of performing a programme...
1:07:29
of time-honoured sacred music,
1:07:31
a truly spiritual repertoire,
1:07:34
raise your hands.
1:07:44
All those in favour
of allowing Mary Clarence...
1:07:46
to select a more worldly programme,
however inappropriate,
1:07:50
raise your hands.
