The Novices (Les Novices)

THE NO VICES

- Who wants more chicken? - I do.

- I'll take the wing, Sister Angelica. - Thank you.

Do you want the other wing?

Where's Sister Agnes?

Sister Agnes!

- Pardon me. - Watch where you're going.

Sister Agnes!

Sister Agnes!

Hello there doggy.

Oh my, you're pretty.

Out for a walk?

You lost? Poor fellow.

Nice dog.

No, don't follow me.

Excuse me.

Go home.

Go on.

Go on.

Go away.

Go on.

You can't follow me.

Stop it! Go away.

What have I done to deserve him?

Fill her up.

Wrong pump, over here.

One franc forty.

Excuse me.

Pardon me, sir.

Would you please lend me one franc forty?

Bless you.

For you.

Your change.

One, two

three, four

five, six

seven, eight.

May the Blessed Father grant you peace and health.

You want a lift to Paradise?

Where to, angel?

Paris.

Me too.

Stash that heap and fly free, sugar.

We'll be in Paris by 2 o'clock.

Mother Superior told us of you.

Me?

You've got a lot to learn about piety.

She ran right into him.

Didn't you see me coming?

You alright?

Here's your purse.

Let me do that.

Let me do it.

She's walking away.

Wait a second. Come with me and talk to the cops.

If you ask me they could use more respect.

Hey Marty, an accident.

Wait 'till this hand is over.

Please be seated.

Come on, I haven't got all day.

Bad deal, huh?

Lost your beat, huh?

I'll get it back, just wait.

Got a weed?

A cig baby, you know?

I don't smoke.

Pardon me.

Me?

Got a match?

Take the pack.

For a non-smoker you're well equipped.

I just found the pack.

My luck.

When do you think we'll get out?

Hey.

Mona Lisa.

- Who? - Mona Lisa is my name, professionally.

Has to do with the smile.

In a picture done by someone.

Calm down.

Time to go home.

Miss Bicycle, come sign this.

Hey hold it.

Hey non-smoker, got a problem?

Where you going?

Come with me.

Hurry up.

I can drop you if it's not far.

I'll pay the fare.

Get in.

Thanks.

One good turn deserves another.

I really wanted that cigarette.

All those cops.

When I ask those guys...

how much a pack of cigarettes costs...

Oh about 4 minutes'.

So I told them, my time's valuable.

They gave me a hell of a slap.

The cops think a pro should do it for free.

They don't want us to earn a living.

I've never done anything to them.

Or anybody else for that matter.

Just the opposite.

Everytime a cop passes me, I get busted.

Like today, I wasn't even in uniform.

I was going to my lawyer and whammo.

The profession's going to the dogs.

Go on in.

Stoopy.

Bedroom.

He's right there.

I gotta hurry.

There's stuff to eat in the fridge.

Hurry up, sweetie.

I'll only be a minute.

Pleased to meet you.

Hurry up, sweetie.

- Hurry up, sweetie. - Stoopy.

Hey.

Nice pad.

Disgraceful.

Can't you find another place to sleep?

Excuse me.

This is a respectable house.

Bet I set a record.

I want you to meet my sister.

Hi there.

How nice.

Go back to bed.

Feel free.

Not much change in the weather, huh?

Nope.

May's the same as April.

That's right.

September's same as August.

Had to turn the heat back on.

Can you believe it?

Yes.

Summer's same as winter now.

And vice versa.

It's a shame. Hurry up, sweetie.

The pleasure's been mine, Miss.

Sleep well and don't worry.

I'll be right back.

But where?

Baby, it's rush hour. Time's a wastin'.

Another few tricks and I'm done.

After all, we're not work horses.

But...

Aren't you a prize.

Sit down, sweetie.

Broke it.

The man who invents unbreakable Melba toast

gets me for free.

Put two toasts together.

Butter it well.

That's smart. Who taught you that?

The Mother Superior.

What do you mean "Superior"?

My mother, who else.

Oh your mom.

Yes.

She's always been superior.

She's very intelligent.

Teaches school.

I bet she wants you to teach also.

Yes, and how.

Are you from the country?

Yes. It shows that much?

Except you're pretty pale and skinny

to be from the sticks.

It's just that...

I wasn't outside much.

Kind of cloistered.

Cloistered?

Sort of imprisoned.

You mean a home for young girls?

It's difficult to explain.

A collective community.

Sort of a Russian camp.

Exactly. A coeur cos.

- You communist? - No.

That is a bit.

And you?

I'm just a hooker.

I'm a hooker and admit to it.

What's wrong with that?

Let's say I was a nun...

I wouldn't try and hide it.

I'm the same way.

Tell me about that, uh, coeur cos.

It's a small coeur cos.

Called Saint Mary Magdalene.

Tell me something.

You think I'm that big a sucker?

Sorry ladies... position's filled.

Hurry up, has to be a quickie. I'm double parked.

Just a minute. I'm taking a bath.

I gotta go bad.
