- [first lines]
- Sister George: [carrying a sign, returning from a protest] Not a single arrest today, Mother!
- Mother Superior: [sarcastically] Don't get discouraged, I'm sure you'll do better next time.
- Father Chase: Have a pleasant trip. I'll pray for you.
- Mother Superior: And I'll pray for you.
- [under her breath]
- Mother Superior: Somebody better.
- Sister Clarissa: Twelve dollars and forty cents! My old bus wouldn't use that much gas in a month!
- Mother Superior: It couldn't. It was usually in the shop, being repaired.
- Mother Superior: [after breaking up a dance party in the bathroom] As you're all such music lovers, I'm sure you'll be delighted to know that you're going to spend the next two weekends cleaning out the music room.
- [nods at a girl who fainted]
- Mother Superior: Get Devon off the floor.
- Mother Superior: [to Sister George] Ah, Sister. If you were planning to be charitable to me... don't. It would be out of character.
- Sister George: Mother, did sister Clarissa tell you about the bus?
- Mother Superior: What about the bus?
- Sister George: The springs are shot, the radiator leaks, the clutch slips, the block's cracked, and we need new tires. The bus will never make it 'cross country.
- Sister Clarissa: It certainly will! Chuck down at the service station says there's still plenty of life in the old girl.
- Sister George: Chuck at the service station doesn't know his - gasket - from a casket! The only thing holding that old jalopy together is prayer!
- Sister Clarissa: What's wrong with prayer?
- Sister George: Well, nothing, Sister. Every time I get into that old heap I pray to God - for a new bus!
- Rosabelle: Boy, it's getting harder and harder to make that dough around this place.
- Mother Superior: [surprising Rosabelle] And it's going to get even harder. As of now, St. Francis-A-Go-Go is out of business.
- Father Chase: Sister's a real firebrand, isn't she, Mother?
- Mother Superior: Let's hope she doesn't intend to burn down the Church.
- Sister George: No, just... warm it up a bit.
- Mother Superior: I think we should get started. Round up the girls, Sister.
- Sister Rose-Marie: Where are they, Mother?
- Mother Superior: Wherever Sister George is.
- Sister Celestine: Considering the amount of time the girls spend with us, I'm really not sure why we came along, Mother.
- Mother Superior: We were blackmailed.
- Marvel Ann Clancy: Here's the formula, now pay up!
- St Francis Schoolboy: Boy, you turn me off.
- Marvel Ann Clancy: So who wants you on?
- Mother Superior: I can't tell you how grateful we are for the new bus, Mr. Clancy. It's very generous of you.
- Mr. Clancy: It's my pleasure, Reverend Mother. Actually, I made a very good deal through one of our subsidiary companies, and, uh, after all, it is a tax deduction.
- Mother Superior: Yes. Yes, I know. Isn't it wonderful how our tax structure brings out the best in people?
- Mr. Clancy: That's very good. That's very good, Reverend Mother.
- Rosabelle: You mean we're supposed to wash the whole bus, Reverend Mother?
- Mother Superior: From bumper to bumper.
- Marvel Ann Clancy: But it's such a *big* bus, Reverend Mother.
- Mother Superior: Yes... isn't it!
- Sister George: Right now, Reverend Mother wouldn't give either one of you a free pass to a disaster.
- Mother Superior: When our girls leave here, Sister, they are educated.
- Sister George: They're literate, not educated. There is a difference, Mother.
- The Bishop: The 'In' Group: The Church wants our young people involved, Mother. There are great changes in the air. And Sister George is close to what's happening with our youth.
- Mother Superior: Do you mind if I'm not exactly crazy about what's happening with our youth?
- Sister George: My lecture was intended to alert the class to the dangers in ordinary household chemicals. I certainly never expected the girls to use that information to make a bomb. Who would?
- Mother Superior: I would. But then I've had 20 years in which to familiarize myself with the Machiavellian workings of the adolescent mind.
- The Bishop: The 'In' Group: You may not be able to cope with it.
- Mother Superior: Anyone who's coped with adolescent girls for 20 years and survived can cope with anything.
- Mother Superior: Our building is antiquated.
- Sister George: Oh! Not half as antiquated as some of the Sisters.
- Sister George: How about if, just this once, we blow tradition? Why don't you borrow some of Rosabelle's records and get an idea of, uh, how the kids are swinging?
- Patty: The qualifications are so elementary: "B" average, good social attitude, reasonable hygiene habits.
- Marvel Ann Clancy: Well, that takes care of me. I got a "D" average, Reverend Mother says my attitude stinks, and I'm a slob.
- Rosabelle: Nobody's perfect.
- Mother Superior: It'll be a new experience for us. The rally will be interfaith, interracial, and coeducational.
- Sister Rose-Marie: Coeducational? With boys?
- Rosabelle: Reverend Mother thinks I'm the devil's disciple with homicidal tendencies and overtones of psychotic neuroses.
- Marvel Ann Clancy: Nobody's perfect.
- Sister George: I want to make a meaningful contribution. And I want to make it with joy! If I conduct myself like a 20th Century woman, I don't want to be patronized by people who say: "Oh, look at that darling little nun. She's just like a real person." I am a real person. Flesh, blood, feelings and convictions.
- Father Chase: That's for sure!
- Sister George: Wherever we go, our faith goes with us. And we hold it up for all to see. Faith, like - like love - should be shared, not hoarded.
- Sister George: You certainly run a swinging school, Father.
- Father Chase: We try.
- Sister George: We should have a dance like this at the end of each term. I know our Bishop would approve. He's really responsible for our being here. Isn't that right, Mother?
- Mother Superior: Yes. Bless him.
- Tommy Boyce: [singing] I know each time she smiles at you, You think you found an angel's face, But don't give in, My friend, Where angels go, Trouble follows, And when she's in your arms you feel so heavenly, That you can't see the danger there, Take care, Where angels go, Trouble follows...
- Patty: If you don't stop bugging me, I'll go right to Reverend Mother and tell her you're having orgies in the bathroom.
- Marvel Ann Clancy: Fink.
- Sister George: There's a new wind blowing through the church, and I...
- Mother Superior: A new wind is fine, but we can do without a typhoon.
- Mother Superior: Sisters, Sisters, please. I'm going to talk to her - again. I know you find many of her Avant-Garde ideas more becoming to a coffeehouse than a convent. I do, too. However, we are committed to make this trip, so let's make the best of things. I realize it isn't easy for you. But the world is changing, And if we're going to be a part of it, rather than apart from it, we may have to make some changes, too. Even if we don't agree with everything, it's important that we keep an open mind. Don't you think so, sisters?
- Mother Superior: If I spoke to you in anger, it was because I was also questioning myself. Self-Examination is always painful - and disturbing.
- Rosabelle: Reverend Mother, do we know where we're going?
- Mother Superior: We do. But only if we've led good Christian lives.
- Rosabelle: I wasn't thinking that far ahead.
- Rosabelle: Adults always unite against the common enemy.
- Marvel Ann Clancy: What enemy?
- Rosabelle: Us!
