Sister Act Page #3

VINCE:

I'll call.

Vince kisses two fingers, and blows the kiss to Christy.

He leaves.

Christy is left standing on the bed, holding a

particularly garish stuffed animal she was about to hurl.

With Vince gone she slumps to the bed, cradling the stuffed

animal. She is caught between tears and rage.

CUT TO:

EXT. LAS VEGAS - NIGHT

ANGLE on various neon Vegas landmarks -- the Golden

Nugget, Caesar's Palace, Bally's, etc. Scrunched in

between two larger hotels and casinos is the MOONLIGHT

HOTEL AND CASINO. The Moonlight isn't all that small, it's

just seen better days.

INT. LOUNGE - NIGHT

A spotlight hits a solitary figure on a small stage. The

man is caped and dramatic, but not especially talented; an

Elvis impersonator who's just a shade off in voice, looks

and style.

ELVIS:

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Are

you lonesome tonight? Welcome to the

Moonlight Hotel and Casino's incredible

Platinum Oldies Spectacular.

Backstage, there's still a look of resolve in Christy's

eye as she waits to go on with MICHELLE and TINA, her back-

up singers.

MICHELLE:

But you can't quit. What'll happen to

us?

(to Tina)

Tell her she can't quit.

TINA:

I told her. She stuck pantyhose in my

mouth.

Onstage, Elvis glances into the wings to be sure the

Ronelles are ready.

ELVIS:

Please welcome our own girl group

extraordinaire, our beehives of beauty --

the fabulous Ronelles!

Elvis disappears. The spotlight hits Christy, who wears a

high beehive wig and a sequinned, early Supremes-style

gown. Michelle and Tina wear matching gowns and wigs. The

band begins a doo-wop vamp.

CHRISTY:

Oh, girls.

RONELLES:

Yes, Betty?

CHRISTY:

This prom is a real drag.

RONELLES:

Oh-huh.

CHRISTY:

Oh my!

(gasping)

RONELLES:

What is it, Betty?
