Sister Act Page #2

Vince sits on the bed. He takes Christy's hand, and

kisses it.

VINCE:

I want us to be together. Like people.

Honest, decent people. In the eyes of

God. Babe, today... I went to

confession.

CHRISTY:

You did what?

Page 4.

VINCE:

For the first time in I don't know how

long. I wanted everything done right.

Open and above board. I told Father

Antonelli I was in love. I told him it

was a special love, for all the ages.

CHRISTY:

(starting to fall for

it)

You said that? And what did he say?

Did he say you could leave her? Did he

say we'd be happy?

VINCE:

(looking deep into her

eyes)

He said that if I got a divorce I'd burn

in Hell. For all eternity.

Vince kisses Christy's hands again and drops turns away

and starts putting on his shoes.

CHRISTY:

What?

(outraged)

VINCE:

You want me to go against a priest? Get

excommunicated? You think I'm nuts?

CHRISTY:

You bastard!

VINCE:

(trying to calm her)

We can still see each other. Just like

always. It's a different kind of sin.

Smaller.

CHRISTY:

You pig!

Vince backs off, and starts searching for his jacket.

VINCE:

Babe, it's not me! I love you! It's

God!

CHRISTY:

You lying sleazeball! The best years of

my life! What am I, garbage? Am I lint?

Vince ducks as Christy throws an ashtray at him, and it

smashes against the wall.

VINCE:

You're upset. I understand. I should

go. I hate to.

A CLOCK-RADIO hits the wall beside Vince's head.

CHRISTY:

Get out of here! And never come back!

A LAMP hits the wall, as Vince dodges it. He makes a

phone gesture with his hand.
