Two Mules for Sister Sara Page #4

The two escape to a nearby camp of Mexican revolutionaries, who have hired Hogan to help fight the invading French army. En route, Sara turns out to be surprisingly crude for a nun, drinking, smoking and using curse words. When she also proves to be handy with a gun, Hogan begins wondering if she is telling him the whole truth.

Yes, ma'am.

Two men are ridin' along side by side,

a bullet ricochets off a rock, kills one of them but not the other -

just an accident, no miracle.

Then you believe there are no miracles?

Well, um... Now, you take that fella this morning.

He could've picked up that stick of dynamite

and thrown it back at me before I shot him.

Now, that would have been a miracle.

(Laughing)

It's nice to hear you laugh, ma'am.

You think nuns don't laugh?

I don't know. I never spent the night with one before.

Good night, Mr Hogan.

Thank you again for everything.

Hey, wake up, Sister.

- Time to get movin'. - Couldn't I sleep a little longer?

Not if you want to travel with me, you don't.

(Groaning) I'm so stiff.

I'm not accustomed to riding like that.

Would you please help me up?

Thank you.

Oh, my every muscle is aching.

How can I possibly ride again today?

I ride from sunup to sundown.

You either keep up or you don't.

You'll feel better after a few hours on your mule.

You make very good coffee.

A man on his own has to take care of himself.

- So you're not married? - Nope.

- Ever been? - Nope.

- Want to be? - Nope.

- Don't you want a woman of your own? - What for?

Share your name, bear your children, be a companion?

To ask me to quit drinkin', quit gamblin', save my money

and to b*tch about her aches and pains? No, thanks.

- Must be a lonely life. - It's a great life.

Women when I want 'em and none with the name of Hogan.

How about you, ma'am? Haven't you ever wanted to be a whole woman?

Have a man make love to you? Have children?

I've chosen a different way of life.

What about those feelings your god gave every woman, including you?

- I've always wondered. - Well, we're human, of course.

When we get those feelings, we pray until they pass.

In your case, just how much praying does that take?

What about before you became a nun? Did you ever have a man?

No.

- Ever been kissed by one? - No.

Haven't you ever laid awake wondering what it would be like?
