01x06 - Final Vow

[bunniefuu]

oh good evening i'm taking up a new hobby

tattooing it's a rather neglected art form a

shame really for it has many advantages over more

conventional forms tattooing adds a dimension most

paintings do not have motion and it sometimes adds

the element of sound when i stick the needle in

too far actually i am only an apprentice i'm

practicing on this piece of raw beef steak

my assignment is to use varying shades of brown

to make the steak look medium rare in this way

if the aspiring artist can't sell

his canvases he can always eat them

i think tattooing will revolutionize the cosmetic

field if your lips aren't red enough or you want

the roses put in your cheeks allow me or

if you wish to avoid military service i'm

quite good at varicose veins but enough about body

murals we are almost ready for tonight's narrative

first however an item that is

certain to get under your skin

oh i'm so sorry all right sister perfectly

all right no please please excuse me

oh sister not tears again you've

cried a whole river these past weeks

sorry slipped again i have only myself to blame

you're not thinking of what we spoke of the

other day i haven't been thinking of anything

sister i've tried not to think and have you

prayed i prayed sister i prayed for humility

and obedience but there was no answer in my

heart sister gem only silence god if i'm wrong

sister if i truly belong to you wouldn't i know

wouldn't i feel it inside you must give yourself

time my child these things can't be harrowed

i don't feel worthy of renewing my first vows

you mustn't talk like that

dear reverend mother wants to see you

she's with sister lily in the infirmary is sister

lydia worse no it's about something else go on

hurry

good morning reverend mother good morning sister

pamela sister lydia wants to talk to you yes

i'm so glad you're here sister please sit down

i know how troubled you are sister i know

the signs i was a novice myself at your age

i remember all my tears and all my unanswered

questions then something happened i was teaching

in the parochial school and there was a boy his

name was william michael downing a wild unruly boy

he became a criminal sister i'm sorry for

you sister for 30 years i wrote to him

hoping that the change would take

place he never answered until now

he wants me to come and see him in his fine home

i'm happy for you sister of course i can't go now

but i want you to go for me i want you

to see what faith and prayer will do

will you do it for me sister i'll

we'll have to find a bus that goes

past mr downey's house oh dear i

do hope it won't be a long ride i i'm exhausted

it's so warm it's a long trip well i don't

mind i certainly sleep like a log tonight

even in the strange bed at a hotel

come in sisters

let the donny be right with you please

make yourselves comfortable thank you

so nice and cool in here sister

jim did you notice this painting

sister

how do you do sister i'm sister pamela this

is sister jem i'm afraid the trip has

tired her out no no don't wake her up

i'd much rather have a little private talk

with you i'd feel much better if you sit down

of course

how's sister lydia not well but

very happy to hear from you at last

she's told me all about you yes very dear lady

she never lost faith in me in spite of everything

for 30 years she kept up with me in prison and out

carded christmas a letter on my birthdays and i've

got to hunt he still mentions me in her prayers

i'm sure of it you should be very glad glad sister

i suppose you think her prayers have helped me

yes i do of all your prayers been successful too

your home is lovely mr downey you must be a great

art collector funny isn't it an old heathen like

me you still haven't answered my question system

prayers aren't business deals mr donny they can't

be judged as successes or failures sounds like

your prayers haven't been working out so good then

you're new at the game you look very young sister

i suppose you haven't been at the convent long

no it was a lot better than facing

a cold cruel world wasn't it

why did you say that because

there's something about you that

look sister i've been through it all myself the

world's a noisy messy place full of problems so

wise for trouble if you can avoid it run from it

find a quiet hiding place retreat please i'm not

blaming you sister that's not what i got you

here for yes sir bring it in arnold that's it

our business won't take long sister but i

hope you and your friend will stay for dinner

we had planned to eat at the hotel mr downey

sister jim is very tired whatever you say

i wanted to give sister lydia this it's beautiful

should look nice in the chapel don't you

think this is very kind of you mr downey

i would have preferred handing it to cecilia

myself but i went to parochial school there

and that was enough and i'll be blessed if i

set foot in that gloomy old place again yes

must be very old about five centuries

comes from the medici palace

it's a couple of donatella donatello

it's priceless trying to tell us some

beautiful work in bronze but this is one of

his masterpieces it's magnificent sister jen

sister gem look oh my goodness

did i fall asleep look sister

saint francis for the moment i thought i

was still dreaming it's a donatello sister

a priceless art treasure and mr downey is

giving it to sister lydia and the holy name

how do you do sister i don't know

what to say mr downey eclipt thank you

now perhaps you'll change your mind stay for

dinner i don't know oh sister lily will be so

happy to see this i think we better go back to the

convent tonight it would be better than medicine

for her yes there is one more train if we hurry

thank you mr downey i'll have my man get your cab

tell sister lydia i'm sorry i never answered

her letters i hope this will make it up to her

don't pour it on too thick

lieutenant do you think

a gramercy appliance company over on 9th street

i'm in a shipping department there but i won't be

for long if you guys keep picking me up like this

not uh snatching any more suitcases i never

snatched suitcases that last time was a bum

rap and that as*ault charge you served time for

was that a bum wrap too what do you think sister

it's the voice the voice more than anything

you uh ever go to church preston ah what

who me sorry what are you trying to convert me he

could be the one he could be the one oh no sister

he was much taller don't you remember and much

younger you were hanging around the union terminal

friday night weren't you was that friday night

yeah say around uh 6 30. no no i was out with my

girl friday night sergeant uh you don't believe me

yes her i was there from five to uh midnight yeah

midnight man what's the name of your girl uh her

name's bess mackin she lives at 200 rice avenue

i uh never left her joint for a minute you see

how could he be we can't accuse an innocent man

he's so much like him now don't

let his alibi fool you sisters

his witness is his girlfriend and you know what

that's worth we can't be sure it happened so fast

but uh what do you say sarge

i'm just not sure lieutenant all

right sergeant step back person

i wish to leave the order reverend mother you

can't know what you're saying i know reverend

mother but you're not a child sister pamela

you mustn't respond to trouble like a child

i thought about it reverend mother i've thought

and i've prayed when a child is naughty it wants

to run away from home but your home is with god

you cannot run away from him i'm not running

away from god i wish to leave the order reverend

mother i'm not suited i've known it for some time

mr downey was right about me mr downey why

should anything that mr donnie says affect you

because he knew the truth some people retreat

to god not advance towards him and that's what

i've done i've hidden myself away from the

world for what i know to be selfish reasons

but is that so bad sister i haven't been honest

not with myself not with you and not with god

what happened in that terminal was like a sign

from heaven telling me i couldn't be trusted i

failed my responsibility nonsense poor sister

lydia what shall i give her my sincere regrets

that statue would have meant so much to her

it was more than a gift of the holy name

it was a reward for a lifetime of

work we will pray for its return

now take hold of yourself i've got to

leave very well sister pamela but think

pray and if ever you want to come back i've got

to leave reverend mother there's no other way

of course it looks a lot better

when the sun comes out and um

you can see the river and a good day i think

it'll be nice and comfy here it'll be fine thanks

anything else you need you just call me thank you

what do you think about girls who come to

work for us eight out of ten of them will

end up getting married and having babies that's

nice for them i suppose but it's awfully tough

on the personnel department i see you're

not married engaged no well that's a relief

have an opening in the billing department

information you'll need you might as well take

that's my livelihood it's a cheap copy

of something that wasn't any good in

the first place there's a million of

them floating around the country

yeah but the nun was yeah the nun

that's what you get for being so stupid

brenson she doesn't understand about money

they'll knock themselves out for a scrap

of junk just because it's been blessed

and you better be careful this one's liable to

say a prayer and send you both to the devil not

that you don't deserve it what we do now do

you let her go of course what else oh wait

you're not hiding from anything thank you

don't forget to say hello to sister lydia

for me come on let's get out of here

i've graduated from tattooing raw beef

steak to working with a live model i'm quite

excited some localities busy bodies are

destroying the natural beauty of the landscape

by removing billboards we hope to circumvent

this by tattooing advertisements on the size

of the animals that graze along the

highway thus art nature and commerce

are fused in a beautiful tribute to

man's ingenuity and speaking of commerce

so

you
