What are you doing in here?

If you're scouting a place
to crash, this isn't it.

Do you hear me?

I hear ya.

This is a church.

Is that a fact?

Who are you?

I'm the man who
built this place.

Homer Smith?

Uh-huh.

And who are you, question lady?

I'm Janet Owens.

Uh huh.

Don't Mother Maria and her
sisters run this place anymore?

Oh yes, they're still here,
I'm a --

[people speaking German
in the background]

What's all those
children doing here?

No one's exactly sure.

[speaking German]

[in German]
Homer Smith?

Hi!

[cries of joy]

[continue speaking in German]

[laughs]
Sister Gertrude!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Is it you for really?

Yes, it's me, Sister
Agnes. For really.

I'm Sister Albertine.
She is Sister Agnes.

[chuckling]

I'm sorry, it's been awhile.

Everyone knows you cannot
tell one of us from the other.

[laughter]

We talk of you so often.

Mother tells us
you will come back!

Hey, the family's grown!

Ya, ya, ya ya.
The kinder.

First there's one, then two,
then another and another.

All sizes, shapes, and colors.

Children, this is Homer
Smith, an old friend.

[Agnes]
An old friend and
a good friend.

Homer Smith?

Homer Smith, hi.

Hello, hi.

-Hi.
-Hello, hello, hi.

They aren't happy,
they got shot.

- Shot?
- Yeah, in the arm from Doctor.

You over there, Mister?

No, no, I'm just
passing through, through.

[Gertrude]
But Mother Maria
is expecting you.

She has plans of a building.

Now hold on now.
Just hold on a minute now.

That old Mother.
She ain't suckering me

into doing no more building.

I just came by to see you,
and to see the chapel,

and I'm on my way, that away.

Finish, period, adios,
auf wiedersehen.

Ahh...

[Homer]
Wait a minute now.
Come on, you guys.

Ow!

You're very, very brave, Jenny.

I'm very brave.

Oh, oh, oh, that's very bad
for the teeth, the candy.

This is for medicinal purposes.

Oh, well, then it's...

Well that's it.

Felicia, you make
a very good nurse.

Gracias, Doctor.

Okay, Doctor.

Mother Maria, about Felicia.

Her time is getting very near

and she should
have special care.

No, no, no, no.
She must not be

with strangers when
her time comes. No, no.

There, but you see,
you have no facilities.

You have no telephone, you--

I guess maybe I should
start praying too, right?

Oh, Doctor Mike,
I want you to meet

Homer Smith.
This is Doctor Mike.

[speaking in German]

-The chapel builder?
-Yeah, right.

The local legend.

Well your ears gotta
be burning all the time

the way these people talk
about you around here.

[Homer]
Well nice to meet
you, Doctor Mike.

[Mike]
It's my pleasure,
my pleasure.

Hey, what does Mother Maria have
in mind for you this time?

- Nothing.
- Mr. Smith is passing through.

-Through.
- Oh, oh.

Mother Maria will be so
happy to see you again!

- Again, a pleasure.
- Okay, it's good to see you.

[Gertrude]
Mother Maria.
Mother Maria.

Look who has come back!

Who?

Homer Smith!

Homer Smith?

Yeah, I'm the fella who done

builded you the chapel
out there, remember?

Oh, many hands helped,
but He built the chapel.

Yeah, well He ain't so hot as

a maintenance man.
He's letting it run down.

Oh, the chapel is not finished.

[Homer]
Says who?

No chapel is finished
without the bells.

Oh, yes, I remember you now.

You are Homer Smith.

Yeah, that's me, Homer Smith!

So you have come
back with the bells.

No, no bells!

So what you do here?

I was just passing through and

I thought I'd stop by
to say hello.

I'm heading East, I have
six week's work in El Paso.

That's nice.
A man should work.

No, no, no...

[Speaking German]

You stay for dinner.

No, no, no.
No thank you, Mother.

I'm gonna bed down
near Santa Fe tonight.

[Maria]
Oh, no, you stay.

The children don't see
enough of a man here.

They should hear a man talk,

so you go and talk to
them. Now. You go. Go!

Uh, okay.

I like kids. Don't get a chance
to see them often enough.

But come sun-up, I'll
be miles down the road.

[Maria]
Good.

[farm sounds]

But Mother Maria,
the kindergarten

you wish to build.
Homer could--

Homer will.

But let us not let
him know it yet.

[knocking]

Come in!

Oh, Ms. Owens. Why do
you come here again?

It's my job.

I found foster homes for Jane
Doe and two other children.

The children all stay here.

[whispering]
Tell Sister Agnes
to get two chickens

from the hen house,
we must feed Smith good.

Mother Maria. This
refuge, kindergarten,

whatever you choose to call it,

has got to close
by December 15th.

[Ms. Owens]
Please cooperate. Let's try
to relocate the children

to good foster homes

before they're forced
to go to orphanages.

They do not leave!

The Department of Juvenile
Welfare has a court order.

The conditions under which
these children live here

are not acceptable.

The sleeping quarters
are primitive!

Temporary.

We do not close.

You are in violation
of state law.

God has brought these children

from many places. He
wishes them in our care.

They do not leave. They
will not be separated.

Goodbye, Ms. Owens.

Listen, uh... You
weren't expecting me.

Split mine with the kids, I can
drive on the top of my supper.

Sit down, Smith. Eat.

Yeah, but...

You heard the lady!

Okay.

Of course, we could all
go into town with you.

Haven't had filet mignon
since I left Saigon.

[laughs]
Vietnamese gourmet, huh?

Nah, he's one of
those boat people!

How did you ever collect
such a mixed bunch?

They found us.

We found them.

Each for a different
reason needed a home.

Trang, Josh, Felicia.

They're pretty big
for kindergarten.

Well you see, in my language,
kinder is children.

And garten is like your garden.

So what we really
have here is a garden

for children of all ages.

[laughs]
Well, how do you all you kinder

like living in a garten?

[laughing]

Let's see now, Trang,
Pokey, Josh, um...

I'm Jenny!

Of course, and Felicia.

Ah, I understood that, Felicia.
You like living here.

I'm Petey!

I'm glad to meet ya,
Petey. And you?

I'm Petey!

Huh?

We call them "Petey one"
and "Petey two".

Oh, well I never
was good at names.

And you, young lady?

Jane Doe.

Check, and I suppose
you're John Doe.

-I'm Homer!
-[laughing]

No kidding. Well,
nice to know ya!

I never met another
guy named Homer.

What kind of garten
were you raised in, Homer?

Well, me, I was always
a weed, a tumbleweed.

How'd you grow so big?

Plenty of fertilizer.
[laughing]

Hey, Homer. You
like to play ball?

Yeah!

Maybe we can get up a game!

- [Homer] Yeah!
- All right!

Smith has more
important things to do.

Tomorrow early he
goes to El Paso.

It's like living in a zoo.

We also have gila monsters,
tarantulas, scorpions.

You gonna sleep in

No, no, no. I got me my own
bed at my camper, Homer.

[Josh]
Homer.

Huh?

[Homer whispering]
Yeah, what, what, what?

That isn't that kid's
name. He's got no name.

Then why not get
him his own name?

Name's cheap.

Mother Maria had him
baptized after Saint Aloysius.

Well if you like it,
that's good enough for me.

Good night.

Night. Good night Homer.
Night. Good Night.

Mama, this barn is no
place for a kindergarten.

This is for animals,
not children--

- They're warm!
- Warm?

They're dry.

Yeah, as long as it doesn't
rain, That place is a pigsty!

Oh, no, the pigsty's
behind the barn.

Oh, you know what I mean.

So what would you do?

Well...

Well, they oughta have
a separate building

with separate bedrooms,

for maybe two apiece,
bathrooms, a place to study.

Yes, yes.

Oh, no, no, no.
No, you don't.

No, no. I'm on my
way to El Paso.

So Smith, it has been nice
to see you again. Goodbye.

Oh boy...

[strumming guitar]

What's wrong?

She has bad dreams.

She cries in her sleep.

There's nothing to
be afraid of, Pokey.

Josh is here. I'm here.

Happens lots.

She's cold.

Come here, sweetheart.
Come here.

There.

You look sick.

She always does that.

I figure she must get leg
cramps when she dreams.

Whatever it is she dreams.

Where you from?

Texas, Galveston.

How'd you end up here?

Ran off.

My mama had a lot of us.

I was somewhere in the middle.

Nobody paid me no mind.

Well, you're a good
ways from Galveston.

I was dragging my butt when
I got this far, and hungry.

I was in town and I saw
Sister Agnes put all those kids

in that old truck. I just
climbed on with them.

I'm still here.

Oh.

Well that's better.

You know, sometimes when
you're feeling down,

you just need to look up and
see all those stars up there.

I see the Big Dipper!

[Homer]
And there's the North Star.

Did you know that looking
up there at night is

like standing in the
middle of a big clock?

Keep a fix on the North Star

and it's like you can always
tell what time it is.

Yeah?

What time is it?

About ten o'clock.

At midnight, the Big Dipper
will be over there.

[Homer]
And before sun-up,
it's way around there.

That's good to know!
You study the stars a lot?

[Homer]
It costs nothing.

They becomes friends and
they don't change on you.

Good to know there's
something you can count on.

Mm-hmm. Better get
her back to bed.

I'd sure like to
learn more, Homer.

Social worker. Department

You worship the government

There are at least eight points

that do not conform
to the minimum

requirements for foster
care institutions.

That's my tomorrow
problem. Monday.

Today, I'm having a
birthday party for Jane Doe.

She deserves a farewell party.

The children are being placed
in various foster homes.

You gonna bust up this place?

I'm concerned
with their welfare.

And there's nothing
that Mother Maria,

or you, or anyone can do to keep

this place from closing
by December 15th.

So you can take off.
You can go to El Paso.

Baby, nobody tells Homer
Smith what he can do.

Excuse me, Doctor Mike. Can
I talk to you for a moment?

Yeah.

The children are
wonderful, Mother Maria.

Your children's' choir
is simply enchanting.

Such purity of tone,

We must have them!

Yes, you will.
You definitely will.

It's shocking.

It's dreadful that these people

aren't educated more

She's only a child,
and I suppose

she and her husband
are on welfare too.

It's scandalous.

How are you?

No, no, no. There's
nothing medically wrong

with Pokey's legs.

At night, the pain is
so bad she can't sleep.

Well do you know Pokey's story?

Mmm-mmm.

Her mother was a Pima Indian.

Father was a drunk.

Her mother was on drugs.
She overdosed.

See, little Pokey
couldn't wake Mama up.

So she wandered off
into the desert.

Nobody knows how
long she was running

when they finally
found her half dead.

Is it why she never speaks?

[Dr. Mike]
Or laughs or cries. See,
this is traumatic shock.

For which there is no medicine.

What about the kindergarten?

The government's
gonna close it.

But this place is
home to these kids.

Are you gonna fight City Hall?

-I'll see ya.
-Yeah...

Smith, we are in the
middle of Bible reading

and Sunday meditation.

[Homer]
Well I'm sorry,
but I'm taking off.

The chapel's all fixed up.

It's not finished.

What else?

The bells!

Yeah, well maybe you can
jing-a-ling them through prayer.

Mama, I'm going. You
don't have to pay me.

No.

Goodbye, Herr Smith.

Little Jenny's got the
makings of a bad cold.

It will be built.
Goodbye, Herr Smith.

Okay, Pokey, wish

Ready, pull!

Hey, you won!

[Brian]
If one of these children
get sick, really sick,

Doctor Mike wouldn't have
medicine enough for all of them.

[Janet]
Building a proper kindergarten

is Mother Maria's
impossible dream.

It has a hollow ring to it,
like the chapel without bells.

Towers without bells have always
been the fashion around here.

Look at the Mission
Santa Teresa.

The old Spanish Mission?

Stood for almost 200 years
with an empty bell tower.

Don't tell me it was built by
a Baptist on his way to El Paso.

Brian:
No, it was built by
the Jesuits and the Indians.

Special bells were
cast in Spain,

shipped to Mexico,
sent North by wagon.

But somewhere between
here and Hermosillo
the wagon disappeared.

All this will disappear soon.

The wind will blow
the adobe away.

The rain will come
and wash it all.

Why are you so set on
closing this kindergarten down?

Give the nuns a break!

Mr. Smith, you're meddling
in a matter which you know
nothing about.

I've been here for three days.

I've watched, I've
listened. These kids...

they got something good
here. Something they need.

Something good?

Sleeping in that barn that
wouldn't pass as a chicken coop?

They're happy here!

They're getting something from
the nuns, from one another.

Good intentions instead
of good dental care.

Don't shut the place down.

Time is all they need.

Mr. Smith, what
these children need

is to be placed
in good homes with

responsible foster parents,
and the sooner the better.

So young and already
you've got all the answers.

Ain't you lucky.

No, you are Joseph.

What's the deal?

It's to build a charity

Oh Mr. Smith. I want

You intend to let her stay on?

Yes, I do.

Oh, Felicia is the innocent one.

Sister, I'm gonna save everybody

That's very kind

You're welcome.

Now the normal
procedure would be

for me to supply you with
a stack of application forms

which you would fill out,
four copies of each,

and then submit to this
office for processing.

[speaking German]

I'm sorry, what is processing?

Oh...

Well, the process is to make
20 or 30 copies of your copies,

then distribute it to all
employees above a certain grade.

Then when enough
time has passed,

the director, me,
if I'm still here,

will stamp his copies

Now if the director
wants to pass

the buck to his successor, then
he'll stamp his copy deferred.

But the kindergarten must be
finished December five-teen.

Hmm?

December five-teen, Herr Pruitt.

Sister, compared to
bureaucratic processing,

the Chinese water
t*rture is a joy.

That's not very funny.

I'm gonna be kind and tell you

right here and now,
your request is refused.

Why?

I asked you why!

Well, Sister, there
are many reasons.

Here... Well, here. Right here.

The location that
you have chosen is--

It's isolated.
It's impractical.

What is wrong with my location?

Well, now the staff. The staff.

Yourself and four other nuns.
You have no experience,

- no training.
- We have five nuns

for nine children. That
really should be enough!

Ultimately, Sister,
your kindergarten

would be an expensive,

unnecessary duplication
of existing facilities!

But the children have
nowhere else to go.

Now, Sister, that is not true.

I have been assured
that all of these

children will be placed
in excellent foster homes.

But this separates them.

They should be
together as a family!

Impossible.

Nothing is impossible,
Herr Pruitt!

Nothing!

Sister, as far as this
