[narrator]
This is the Convent San Tanco.

Not exactly a setting
for a mystery.

But our Reverend Mother
had been away

on a very mysterious mission

and returned
with a very curious box.

Well, it wasn't really the box
that was curious. It was us.

I think I am going to need
some assistance here.

Will we like it,
Reverend Mother?

That depends.

We'll hate it?

It's not lumpy enough
to be a sight of beef.

That's a side.

No, a sight.

Something we haven't seen
in a long time.

[narrator]
The mystery was solved.

And to borrow a phrase from the
vocabulary of Sister Bertrille,

we were all
about to kick the old habit.

Maybe we wouldn't exactly
have made semi-finalists

in the Miss America contest.

But then our world is even
larger than Miss Universe.

Do you like them?

Mother General does want us
to like them.

[sisters chattering excitedly]

A habit should be comfortable,
presentable,

and show us to the secular world
with restraint and dignity.

They're really super.
No, Sister Bertrille,

I-I do not think
that's exactly what I mean.

But you look lovely,
Reverend Mother.

[chuckles] Well...
That habit looks like

it was made for you,
Reverend Mother.

[chuckles]
Ahem.

Uh, well, um, it's getting late,
and there is work to do.

And I think that if we wish
to admire our new habits further

that we should do it
on our time, not his.

[narrator]
When we left the Reverend Mother's office,

we'd all had a lift
and our spirits were up.

But it wasn't long
before they all came down.

Right on top of, guess who?

[cat meows]

Oh, poor little kitty.

You just wait there kitty.

I'm not your mother,
but I'm the next best thing

and you better believe it. Oh!

Hang on, kitty, if you want
to get out of this in one piece.

I hope I can say the same
for my new habit. Hang on.

Stay right there.
Oh, I got you.

See, that wasn't so bad. No.

Whoa!

Sister Bertrille!

Oh. What--?

That was a terrific landing,
wasn't it?

At least my passenger is okay.

Well, but when you felt
the branch giving way,

why didn't you simply fly?

Well, it wasn't
as simple as that.

What do you mean?
The only altitude

I seem to get was down.

Must have been
the extra weight.

Ten ounces of pussycat?

Do you think
I've lost my touch?

Oh, I certainly hope not.

Well, I tell ya, you know,
when something goes wrong

with an airplane,
they check it out, right?

Well...
that's what I'll do.

Look, critty, here, kitty.

Easy.

Contact.

Oh, good heavens.

[groans]

Oh, my new habit...

[gasps]

[both] The new habit!

It's narrower
than the old one.

More streamlined.

Wouldn't displace as much air.
It may not have enough lift.

Ah, I can't believe it.
It's so cute.

Oh...

Oh, come on.

[groans]

♪♪

It doesn't go together.

When the Wright brothers
were trying to be airborne,

I don't think they worried

about the wings clashing
with the fuselage. Come on.

Maybe we should try this
tomorrow after breakfast?

Tonight after dinner?

After lunch?

Now?

Now.

♪♪

Well, I guess
without this old cornet,

I'll have to forget
all about the wide blue yonder.

Not true.

We'll just get
all the sisters together,

and we'll go
to the Reverend Mother--

What for?
It wouldn't do any good.

The new habits were an edict
from the Mother General,

and that means
this is it, kids.

But what if the Reverend Mother
talked to her?

Well, she might give you
a special dispensation.

Oh, I don't want to be treated
any differently

from everyone else.

When the rest
of the sisters find out...

I don't want them
to find out.

No. It would only
make them unhappy.

And... They have
a feeling of pride now

thinking they have
the only convent in the world

with a one sister air force.

I think you're being
very noble

and very silly.

And you are going to end up
miserable.

Well, maybe so, but you have to
promise me you won't tell them.

Oh--

[sighs]

All right, I promise.
Good.

But I'm playing the game
under protest.

Well...

flying is now
a thing of my past.

And believe me...

it won't bother me a bit.

♪♪

Sister Bertrille,
are you feeling all right?

Yes, of course.

This filing
that you have just done,

you have placed
this week's laundry list

under the heading,
local cleanup campaign.

Oh, well, I guess it's better
than dirty work afoot.

And here,
under sacred writings,

do you know that you have filed
a chocolate pie recipe.

Oh, sure.

That's because
it's a very old recipe

that's been in the convent
for years

and old is respected,
and respected is revered,

and revered is like sacred.

[sighs]

♪♪

[engine puttering]

Ugh, we're out of gas.

Oh, no.

Do you know
that I don't think

I've seen a gas station
for several miles?Oh...

Why doesn't Sister Bertrille
fly back there

and find one
and bring us back a gallon.

Oh, yes,
would you sister?

Oh, please.

Well...
Sister Bertrille?

Well, maybe the wind
isn't windy enough.

Oh, yes...

That's certainly never
bothered you before, has it?

Well, wait here.
I'll be back in a few minutes.

All right, thank you,
Sister Bertrille.

Here. Here...

Well, I think
there's higher ground

up there behind those trees,
more wind.

Uh, yeah...

♪♪

I haven't seen
Sister Bertrille take off.

I hope
she's all right.

Sister Bertrille, would you
care to explain yourself?

I wouldn't,
but I will.

Sister Bertrille,

I do not understand why
you tried to keep it a secret.

Well, I thought maybe the other
sisters would be unhappy,

and they'd want to do something
to help me.

There is nothing
that anyone can do, to help.

Yes, I realize that,
and I've accepted it.

I'll never fly again.

♪♪

Unfortunate, but realistic.

Yeah...

Well, I've got
a lot of work to do.

I've got to fly.

I mean,
I better get going.

Sister Bertrille.

It is true that from now on
things will be different.

You may dress
in your old habit...

and take one last flight.

Thank you, Reverend Mother.

[narrator]
In any small tightly knit group

a decision involving one person
affects everyone,

and the Sisters of San Tanco
were no exception.

When Sister Bertrille
got grounded,

it brought everyone down.

[Bertrille] A fine bunch of nuns we are.

Nuns are supposed to spread
optimism and hope.

We do look a little like
we're pushing cemetery plots.

For goodness sakes,
this is silly.

We have a used clothes drive
to worry about...

and I'm going to start right now
by going upstairs

and packing up
my old habit and cornet.

[sisters groan]

Oh, what's all the megillah
about flying?

If I were an eagle, then I'd
have something to worry about.

I remember the first time

I ever saw Sister Bertrille
in the sky.

The first time
I saw Sister Bertrille

I couldn't believe it.

She was making the bank.

No, no, no,
you mean she was banking.

That's when she tips her wing
and comes in for a landing.

But she was making a landing
on one foot shook,

so she could
make the bank before closed.

Now there's nothing
to cry about.

[all crying]

[Reverend Mother] Sisters.

I appreciate
your sentiments,

and I feel
as unhappy as you do.

But I am afraid that, uh...

as Sister Bertrille
would so uniquely say,

we must cool it.

As a matter of fact,
I have just received a letter

from the Mother General,
and she is arriving on Tuesday

for her inspection tour.

Which means that, uh...

not only will she be examining
our new habits,

but she will also be looking in
on our used clothing drive.

Now sisters, I know
that you don't feel it,

but when you speak
with the people in town,

please...attempt a smile.

♪♪

Just think
of the fringe benefits.

My private plane, my yacht,

my swimming pool
bathed in moonlight.

My stare and whisper
serenade to your loveliness.

You do offer
pleasant working conditions.

Yeah, I know.

[knocking]
Who is it?

Sister Bertrille.

Oh, sit there. There...

Come in.

What do you have on?

New habit.

Sister Bertrille,

this is a business associate
of mine.

Dolores.

Nice to meet you, sir.

Well, we were having a rather
important business conference.

Oh, well,
maybe I'd better leave then.

The last thing I want to do
is interrupt you.

Since when? It's one of
your favorite hobbies.

Okay, what do you want
this time?

Used clothes
for the used clothes drive.

You can take everything
on the left side of the closet.

Thank you.

♪♪

Nice to meet you, sir.

Sister Bertrille...
what's the matter?

Didn't I give you
enough clothes?

Oh, no, this is fine,
thank you.

Don't you like the style?
Oh, they're fine.

Would you like something
more conservative? Mm-mm.

Did I say something?

You said
take all the clothes

on the left hand side
of the closet.

I did...

Excuse me. Sister Bertrille.

I did something.
What did I do? Nothing.

Was it that silly joke about you
interrupting me all the time?

No, that was true.

Then what's wrong?

Well...

We all have to wear
these new habits

because the Mother General
issued an edict.

But I like it.

That's no reason to be upset,
it is charming.

That's what I mean.

Sister Bertrille,
what do you mean?

The Mother General
is coming tomorrow

to see how we like them.

Don't you like them?

We love them.
That's the problem.

Sister Bertrille,
what are you talking about?

If you love them,
that's no problem.

Well...

with the cornet built like this,
I can't fly in it.

♪♪

[tearfully]
I'll never be able to fly again.

Hi, Sister Bertrille.

Sister looks cute,
nice little outfit.

She'll never fly again.

She'll never again drop in
on me out of the blue.

No more interruptions
from the little sister.

Is that true?

That is wonderful.

Is it?

But she has been
the bane of your existence.

The fly in your ointment.

Why do you sound so unhappy?

Because I am unhappy.

Those interruptions
were the spice of my life.

I don't want that girl grounded.

I beg your pardon?

Never mind.

I know that Mother General.
She's tough.

When she issues an edict,
it is an edict.

Isn't that the way
it usually works?

Carlos, my pet.

Oh, yes, yes.

Yeah, where was I?

Just about here.
We were talking about money.

Yeah, money.

You have no way
to change some women's minds.

Oh, I wouldn't say that.

If you ask me, she was
beginning to come around.

She likes that sweet talk.

I don't know.
She's very determined.

Well, that's true.

But maybe a man like you
could make her reconsider.

That's exactly what I would like
to do but I don't know how.

It's all in the way
you handle it.

You were on the right track.

And I might just give in
a little.

After all, I do sew
all my own costumes

and that saves me money.

You make your own costumes?

I make all my own things,
but don't take advantage.

Darling, here.
Didn't I tell you?

I'll give you $2000.

And I have a costume in mind

that is going to have
the audience electrified.

Do you think you can make
a costume in 24 hours?

That's short notice but I--
Terrific.

You open on Saturday,

but we have
a dress rehearsal tomorrow.

Yes, I must say
you all look lovely.

At the risk
of sounding boastful,

I think the choice of colors
and material are excellent.

Well,
don't you agree?

Oh, there's no argument
with that whatsoever,

Mother General.

Oh, they're very becoming.
I've always liked...

Well, of course.
Any comments are most welcome.

Any way we can improve them.

♪♪

Honestly, Mother General,
I love it.

Only...

Only what?

I'm not quite used to
this short skirt,

and I think it's given me
a bad cold.

Nonsense, one doesn't catch cold
unless one's rundown.

You probably don't eat enough
leafy vegetables.

I love the new habit too,
Mother General.

Except...

Except what?

Oh, the new cloche
doesn't stick out in front

and my nose gets sunburn.

Don't be afraid
of the sun's rays, child,

it's pure vitamin D.

[knocking]

Yes, come in.

Oh, Señor Ramirez.
Hello.

For the used clothing drive.

Sister Bertrille
missed a few things.

Mother General, I would like you
to meet Señor Ramirez,

a very good friend
of the convent.

How do you do?

Very nice meeting you.

Señor Ramirez, your continued
generosity is overwhelming.

Oh, this is nothing.
I brought much more.

Would you please bring
the rest of the things?

♪♪

Oh!

Good heavens. That dress!

There is a similarity,
isn't there?

What an amazing
coincidence.

Do you like it?

Yes... No, I...

[sighs]
Yes, for a dress.

I think it's adorable.
Don't you, Sister Bertrille?

I'm not voting.

[Carlos] Didn't you say
it was the latest thing?

Oh, I said it would be.
It's a Dolores original,

and you know
how those things catch on.

She's right.
In a month,

every shop girl
in the world

will be wearing
a 12.95 copy.

Well, I just dropped in
to deliver these things.

I hope I didn't
disturb you, hmm?

♪♪

Now, getting back
to that dress...

Uh, habit. Where were we?

You were asking
for helpful criticisms.

Oh, yes. Well, as a matter
of fact I have one.

You know, each order

is supposed to have
its own distinctive uniforms.

Well, now I'm not certain that
ours will be very distinctive.

Oh, and at 12.95 apiece,
Mother General,

I'm sure you're right.

Yes, but I think
we should be fair about this,

and I think
we should take a vote

to see that everyone agrees.

Everyone agreeing
with a disagreement, say ay.

Ay.
Ay.

I-I thought it was an edict?

On the contrary,
it was just a suggestion.

Tomorrow morning,
back to the old habits.

That is an edict.

Oh dear, I have
a terrible headache.

I must lie down.
Oh...

Sister Bertrille...

I had nothing to do with it.

It was all Carlos's idea.

I-I swear.

Somebody get me a bible.

Is there a bible
in the house?

You mean that you had
nothing to do with that?

Señor Ramirez thought of it
all by himself?

That is very strange.

It has all the symptoms
of something you would think of.

Maybe I'm catching?

♪♪

Sister Bertrille...

It has come to my attention

that you are going to town
on church business.

Are you sure
that it is business

and not just
Sister Bertrille business?

Oh, no, Reverend Mother,
it's "business" business.

Besides that,
we can use the bread.

Bread?
She means the kind you count

to buy the kind you eat.

What are you doing
with the new habits?

Oh, well, it was bad enough
the sisters had to give them up,

but when I thought of all
the money we were losing...

So I came up
with a terrific idea.

You have me worried already,
but proceed.

Well, I talked
to Maria Cortinez,

you know she owns
the dress shop in town.

And she's willing to buy the
whole stock of our new habits.

[Reverend Mother] Sister Bertrille,

you know we can't possibly
sell our habits to the public.

I know. But you see,
when the women in town

got a look at Dolores's dress,
well, they flipped.

You know, they really dug it.

So I figured a couple of snips
here and a few tucks there,

and all of these dresses will
look exactly like Dolores's.

So it's okay?

Very well.

So, uh...

we'll be right back,

unless this sale at the Yard
Good Store is still on.

I was thinking,

don't you think
a navy blue belt

with our old habit
would look nice?

[clears throat]
Brown belt?

Chartreuse?

No belt at all.

Well, maybe we'll just
do some window shopping.

[sighs]

I am certain that deep down,
she's really on our side.
