[Jacqueline] This is San Juan, Puerto, Rico.
And this is the Convent San Tanco,
high on a cliff in old San Juan overlooking the Caribbean.
Whoever called Chicago the 'Windy City'
just hadn't been to San Juan.
This is the Reverend Mother Placido.
Now, you may be wondering
why the wind doesn't blow in her office.
The answer is very simple.
The Reverend Mother just wouldn't allow it!
One day a few months ago, Sister Sixto and I
were instructed to meet a young novice
who was arriving that day by steamer from New York
to teach kindergarten. [car backfires]
Did you give the thingamejog a real bolt?
Thingamajig a real belt, Sister.
And I did.
Funny, it started yesterday.
Well, one out of two ain't bad. Right?
You've been studying your dictionary
of American Slang again, Sister?
Well, when I go teach in U.S.A., I really know my way around.
I got it made!
[engine burbles]
[engine clangs, shuts off]
I'm afraid not.
Hold on to your cordonnet, Sister Sixto.
We're going to have to walk.
♪♪
[Jacqueline] We didn't reach the dock in time
for Sister Bertrille's arrival.
She came bursting off the boat
in high spirits, and a high wind.
Now, the reason I keep mentioning the wind
is that it's as important to our story
as it was to the Wright Brothers.
You see, one of the many things
we didn't know about Sister Bertrille
was that she only weighed 90 pounds,
[wind whooshing]
Dripping wet.
Fortunately, through the grace of God,
and the Australian crawl, she managed to save herself.
Now, look, St. Thomas is only 45 minutes away.
We'll be there Friday and be back on Sunday night.
Your father will never know.
I don't know, Carlos.
It just doesn't seem right.
Now, do I seem the sort of man
who would take advantage of a girl?
Trust me, Consuelo.
Well, maybe I'll go if you promise not to--
What is it now?
There's a nun on the back of your boat.
There's a what?
Hi.
Who are you?
Oh, I'm Sister Bertrille.
I just arrived from the United States.
You swam all the way?
♪♪
Gin!
Hello there! Hello!
I fell off the dock.
Sorry to break up the game, girls,
but I have to get to the convent.
See you on Sunday at Mass. It's a deal, sister.
What, what, what, what about Sunday? What about St. Thomas?
The Sister blitzed us.
We agreed if we lost, we'd attend mass for three Sundays.
Oh, Pedro, will you take the Sister ashore?
Thank you for your hospitality, Señor Ramirez.
I'll say a prayer for you.
Oh, don't bother. I'm not a religious man.
Well, all the more reason I should say a prayer for you.
Thank you.
[sighs]
[all giggling]
Sister Bertrille. Yes.
Oh, I'm Sister Jacqueline.
Well, oh, you speak English.
Well, I'm from Boston. It goes with the territory.
This is Sister Sixto, is from Puerto Rico.
[Bertrille] How do you do, Sister?
Mucho gusto en conocer la Hermana Sixto
Oh, you are a little wet behind the ears!
Well, I'm just a novice.
Sister Sixto is studying the Dictionary of American Slang.
She means you're a little damp around the edges.
Oh! Yeah, and in the middle too.
Uh, where are your bags?
Over here. Oh.
Señor Ramirez was so nice to me.
Did you know all those girls work in his discotheque?
He puts them in cages. I don't doubt it.
His reputation is not exactly flawless.
You play cards often, Sister Bertrille?
No, I just learned about three weeks ago.
Helped pass the time while I was in jail.
Prison? Yeah, I was arrested
at a free speech protest rally.
[Jacqueline] It was at this point I had the feeling
the Convent San Tanco would never be the same again.
That turned out to be
the biggest understatement of the year.
♪♪
♪♪
Oh, it's just beautiful.
The plumbing, she's on the blank.
[Jacqueline] Blink, Sister.
So is everything else in the Convent, I'm afraid.
But it looks so well-preserved.
Someone willed a fund to keep up the actual building.
But unfortunately, that doesn't cover
the cost of new classrooms or modern plumbing.
I'll show you where to change.
What is it, Sister Bertrille?
Somehow, I have the feeling of coming home.
♪♪
Thank goodness the wind has died down.
It seems to blow in gusts.
Oh, look at the seagulls! Aren't they pretty?
When I was little, I often wished I were a bird.
They seem so free and graceful. And you weren't?
I was the klutz of the neighborhood.
Fell out of a tree house nine times
in the fourth grade alone. [laughs]
No wonder you wished you were a bird.
And you almost got your wish.
Some people think our cordonnets make us look like birds.
I suppose that's true in a way.
Ah, ah, Sister!
[gasps] Good grief!
Oh, have-- Have faith, sister.
Don't panic, have faith!
[stammering] I'll get you down somehow.
Oh, dear. Don't move.
I've almost got you.
Stretch out your foot.
No, not that one.
Try and get your other foot down.
[both scream]
Are you all right?
Sister Jacqueline,
while I-- While I was up there,
I had the strangest feeling.
If I really wanted to I--
I could have flown!
Where is our new little member of the family this morning?
I don't know.
She can't afford to miss breakfast.
Sister Bertrille is as thin as a rook.
Thin as a rake, Sister.
Good morning, Sister. Sorry I'm late.
I went to the library to try and figure out
why I became airborne last night.
Airborne?
Yes, I had some trouble with the wind.
The wind?
Sister Bertrille only weighs 90 pounds
and sometimes, and, the wind lifts her.
Lifts her, where?
Uh, up.
But it's okay. I figured it all out.
It all has to do with my cordonnet.
The cordonnet?
Yes, you see, when lift plus thrust
is greater than load plus drag, well, anything will fly.
You are very small, Sister Bertrille.
Perhaps it might help if you had more starch in your diet.
Or less in your cordonnet.
I'm anxious to meet the Reverend Mother.
When will she be back?
In a few days.
What's she like?
Uh, well, of course,
the Reverend Mother is older.
Oh.
Uh, Sister Bertrille, you must understand
that when the Reverend Mother entered the order,
perfection was reached by discipline.
Discipline which destroyed all traces of self-will
or rebelliousness.
At least, that was the idea.
I suppose what I'm trying to say is
that her ideas are rather... Traditional.
Oh, but Sister, times are changing so fast.
I know, and the Reverend Mother tries very hard to understand,
but for her sometimes it's-- It's difficult.
Well, thank you for your advice, Sister,
but you don't have to worry.
I'm sure the Reverend Mother and I
will get along just fine.
You think so?
Of course.
We young sisters may approach things differently,
but our aims are still the same.
Oh, this is Sister Ana.
She will take you to your kindergarten class.
Hi. Well, lead on, Sister Ana.
♪♪
Sister, when did you discover you had the-- Ability?
Ability?
To...
You know. Oh, oh, that.
Just yesterday, but it's nothing to get excited about.
It's all a question of aerodynamics. Sister?

Niños, les presento La Hermana Bertrille.

Ella es una persona muy especial.
Oh, hi, kids.

Oh, buenos días, niños.
Come here.
This is a classroom?
We have no space, Sister Bertrille.
Most of the convent is taken up
for the hospital wards for the old people.
Good grief. This looks like
something out of Charles Dickens.
And why are some of those kids wearing those awful clothes?
They are the orphans who live here at the convent.
That is the uniform.
Oh, but the poor dears look so hot

Is there no equipment?
No money.

Hi, you must be Reverend Mother Placido.
Guess what Reverend Mother, we've raised $62 so far!
Isn't that wonderful? Sister Bertrille!
What? Sister Bertrille!
In six days, you have managed
to totally disrupt the Convent San Tanco.
First, those ridiculous costumes you made.
Well, I know the colors are a bit spectacular,
but I had to make do with remnants.
It is unbecoming for girls to wear shorts.
Girls wear dresses, boys wear trousers.
Grey trousers, not dotted polkas!
And then, there was that undignified exhibition
at the town square.
Do you realize how much attention you attracted?
But that was the point.
Reverend Mother, something's got to be done.
Well, the classrooms are overcrowded,
there isn't any equipment.
Do you think I don't know that?
For 20 years I have been fighting a losing battle
against inadequate space, not enough books, bad plumbing
and not enough money, for 20 years, Sister.
And you-- You spend one week here and tell me what is needed.
Forgive me, Reverend Mother.
Sometimes, I speak first and think afterward.
Sister Bertrille, you are young, with young attitudes.
And I am trying to take all this into consideration.
Now, let me acquaint you with the realities of San Tanco.
First, there is the question of money.
Well, I have some ideas about that.
Yes, I have seen some of your ideas.
I am sorry, Sister Bertrille.
I know that your intentions are good,
but you see, even with the money,
we wouldn't have any land to build on.
Well, I saw this great lot in old San Juan.
It would be a perfect location.
I know the land you speak of.
It is owned by a man named Carlos Ramirez,
who absolutely refuses to sell.
Oh, I know Señor Ramirez!
Somehow, I'm not surprised.
Now, uh, Sister Bertrille, you are new here
so I am willing to overlook your breach of conduct,
but in the future, Sister, please remember,
dignity.
Right.
♪♪
Sister Jacqueline, what are you doing here?
Oh, I thought you might need some cheering up.
Well, thank you, but I'm fine.
I only have one problem. What's that?
How to get the land we need. [doorbell buzzes]
I think I'll go and see Señor Ramirez.
Did the Reverend Mother say you could?
Well, she didn't say I couldn't.
♪♪
[dance music playing]
I've a beautiful house in St. Thomas.
We leave Friday night
and spend a marvelous, relaxing weekend,
getting to know each other.
I didn't say I was going, Carlos.
Trust me, Maria.
You will come.
All right. But if you promise not--
Ahem. What is it?
There's a nun in back of you.
Hello. Sorry to cut in,
but could I talk to you for a second?
Yes. This way, please.
See you on Sunday at Mass.
Go ahead kids, dance.
You dance great.
I don't believe it!
How can you come here like this?
You mean, what's a nice girl like me
doing in a place like this?
There is dancing, drinking and gambling there.
Aren't you afraid of being contaminated?
Are all the young people out there contaminated?
But you are a sister!
All the more reason I should set an example.
At a discotheque?
To show that the Christian life
can flourish in the land of reality.
Boy, you are some nun, you know that?
When I was a child, the sisters never--
Excuse me, I wish you wouldn't talk about the sisters
as if we all turned out on an assembly line.
We're all different, with different personalities.
We're really like everybody else, Señor.
Well, what did you want to see me about, Sister?
About your vacant lot.
You see, Señor, we're in desperate need of space.
I'm going to build a house on that lot, sister.
Oh, when is that? When I settle down.
When I find the right girl.
Well, you're certainly looking hard enough.
Well, in any case, I'm not going to sell the land.
No, I didn't think you would.
I believed you might donate it.
Well, you certainly have some very strange beliefs, sister.
Well, I agree with St. Ireneaus.
St. Ireneaus? Yes.
That the Glory of God is man, fully alive.
And that whatever promotes life and growth is good.
It's all a matter of potential, really.
And what has that to do with me and my land?
Well, I thought you might donate your land because you have
A potential for good within you.
You should have been a lawyer. You missed your calling.
I don't think so, Señor.
You know, I like you. I really do.
But I am a businessman first, a friend second.
I'm sorry. Okay.
Thank you for your time, Señor.
Oh, Sister Bertrille, please, do me a favor
and don't come to my discotheque again.
Well, you give the place a bad name.
[Jacqueline] Sister Bertrille considered
Señor Ramirez' rejection of her appeal
a temporary setback.
There had to be a way.
And it was all of two days
before she came up with another idea.
There will be just the two us.
Julie and Carlos.
Well, let me think about it.
My house in St. Thomas is quiet and peaceful.
It will really give us a chance to get to know each other.
Don't you think we need a chaperone?
Oh, my house boy and his wife will be there.
Well, I guess it will be all right if--
What, Julie?
Tell Carlos.
Do nuns swim? What?
Right over there behind you.
I don't believe it. I don't believe it.
Hi, there!
I believe it.
Mind if I reel you in?
Don't spill your champagne.
Here comes.
Almost there.
Sorry to bother you.
I wanted to tell you the marvelous news.
I don't care. What news?
You know how you said you wouldn't donate your land
to the convent because you wanted to build a house there?
And that it was the only land with that view?
For three days, I've been searching
all over the island and I finally found it.
You found what?
Another piece of land with the same view,
and it's very reasonable, Señor Ramirez.
Listen, Sister-- Oh!
Are you okay?
Have you quite finished?
Well, almost.
I thought we could buy that land,
give it to you, then you could-- No.
But Señor Ramirez! No, no, no, and no.
I'm not going to give you my land.
Now, good afternoon, Sister Bertrille.
Good afternoon, Señor Ramirez.
Would anyone like a lift anywhere?
Thank you, Sister.
Sorry, I think I'd better go with the Sister.
The next girl I ask will be a Protestant.
[Jacqueline] Señor Ramirez's refusal didn't stop Sister Bertrille.
It just slowed her down a bit.
Her faith, and the wind, buoyed her spirits.
Señor Ramirez absolutely refused.
He's a very stubborn man.
Well, perhaps your timing might have been better.
Hey, I think I'm getting the hang of this.
Oh, be careful, Sister Bertrille.
Oh, don't worry, all I have to do
is lower my cordonnet
and voilà, I land.
Worthy of Charles Lindbergh.
Anyway, I'm not going to give up.
I just know Señor Ramirez will donate his land.
How can you be so sure?
Because basically he's a good man. I can tell.
Well, perhaps you're a very discerning person,
but you should know a few facts about Señor Ramirez.
You see, he's notorious for being
the biggest gambler and promoter on the island.
Of course, he's never actually been convicted of anything,
but he's not above cutting a few corners.
And his private life is not exactly beyond reproach either.
Apparently, his whole life is dedicated solely
to the pursuit of pleasure.
And the only reason I'm telling you this
is I think you should know-- Sister Jacqueline,
who are you talking to?
Oh, oh, why Sister Bert--
Well, she was here a moment ago.

The Mother Superior of the Convent San Tanco
verified that there is a Sister Bertrille in the order
who answers to the description of the prisoner.
You sound disappointed, Lieutenant.
That doesn't rule out the possibility of espionage, Major.
The Commies are infiltrating everywhere.

Any questions, captain?
One. Now, this may sound very silly, I know,
but I've got to ask.
Has anyone actually seen her...fly?
Sister Bertrille, did anyone ever actually see you fly?
Señor Ramirez. He saw me fly.
[laughs] How is that?
Well, he was in his plane, going to St. Thomas.
And I came by and looked in the window and waved.
Did he wave back? What am I saying?
[Bertrille] No, he didn't wave but he definitely recognized me.
How do you know? He turned green.
Well, one witness is better than none.
It's very convenient that he happens to be in St. Thomas.
He's not in St. Thomas. He's at the convent.
Get the chopper ready. It's all ready, sir.
Naturally.
First of all,
why did you come back to the convent tonight, Señor?
To donate my land to the convent.
Oh, that's wonderful.
Uh, please.
What made you want to do this, Señor Ramirez?
Well, I thought...
I had a religious experience.
[Lopez] Please, tell us about this.
I saw Sister Bertrille through the window of my plane,
flying.
You saw Sister Bertrille flying, unaided.
[Carlos] Well, I know it sounds silly, Major.
And now that I have time to think about it,
I realize, it might have been a trick of my mind.
Obviously, the sister cannot really fly.
Obviously.
Señor Ramirez,
I do not think it likely
that you have had a-- A vision.
Therefore, I understand your withdrawing your offer of land.
Oh, no, I'm not withdrawing my offer, Reverend Mother.
Well, a gambler cannot afford to welch on a deal.
But you know that you have not had a-- A religious experience.
Well, I'm not too sure about that.
I believe in always hedging my bets.
Thank you, Señor.
Good night, Reverend Mother.
Good night. Señor.
Are you going to St. Thomas?
No, Sister, I know when I am beaten.
Well, that satisfies me. But Major Overland--
I think we'd better leave now, Lieutenant!
Well, good night. Reverend Mother.
Sister Bertrille, if you ever go flying again,
I suggest you take a course in navigation.
Major, you can't take the word of the biggest con man
and gambler on the Island.
I have other evidence, Lieutenant.
You mean somebody else saw her fly?
Our radar man thought he saw a blip on the scope,
but it suddenly disappeared.
He assumed a pelican and somebody had taken a shot.
Sir, what kind of report are you gonna send Washington?
I'm not making a report on this, Lieutenant.
Why not? I wouldn't know how to word it!
Sister Bertrille, why are you looking so down in the teeth?
Mouth, Sister.
Oh, don't worry,
Captain Lopez is a very smart man.
He would not say anything,
because no one would believe him.
I'm not worried about Captain Lopez or the Army.
The Reverend Mother, I-- I haven't heard from her yet.
She said she wanted time to think things over.
I wouldn't blame her if she sent me back to the States.
[Sixto] Well, cheer up, little bird.
Just look for the silver lining.
Please, Sister, that's how I caused
all this trouble in the first place.
Yes?
We do not like to see you unhappy, hermana.
I can't help it, Carmelita.

[kids cheering]
Thanks, kids, I needed that.
I told you not to worry.
Oh, I'm not worried anymore, sister.
The Reverend Mother would like to see you, Sister Bertrille.
I have pondered the problem all night long
trying to arrive at a solution.
Sister Bertrille, do you want to keep on flying?
Oh yes, more than anything--
Only if you wish it, Reverend Mother.
I understand you believe in responsible freedom?
I also know that you do not wish
to bring undignified attention to the Convent San Tanco.
[sighs]
Therefore, I leave the problem of flying
to your conscience.
Oh, Reverend Mother, thank you.
Sister Bertrille?
You cannot go around
hanging on to heavy objects all the time.
Right, I'll try to work something out.
[Jacqueline] I have something for you.
Sew these in the hem of your habit.
Fishing weights?
Well, everybody knows a 105-pound nun can't fly.
[telephone buzzes]
[mother superior] Yes, Sister Emma?
There is a long-distance call for you,
from a Mr. Sullivan in New York.
Well, I don't know any Mr. Sullivan.
Sullivan? He's probably Catholic.
Oh, you'd better take it.
Hello?
Yes, this is Sister Bertrille.
Ed Sullivan?
Heavens, no, Mr. Sullivan,
I couldn't possibly appear.
Yes, I know it would help Sister Dominic's record sales,
but it's really out of the question for me.
I'm sorry...
No, even if I did have permission
it wouldn't work.
