     SISTER ACT



     FADE IN:



     INT. ST. ANNE'S ACADEMY - AKRON, OHIO - CLASSROOM

     We are in a parochial school classroom, in the late

Sixties.  The children all wear uniforms and sit at little

desks.  SISTER IMMACULATA stands at the front of the room;

she is a middle-aged nun, very severe.  The children are

all terrified of her.


                               SISTER IMMACULATA

               Who can name all the Apostles?  Yes?


     ANGLE ON CHRISTINE CARTER



A thirteen-year-old girl sitting at a desk.  She raises

her hand.


                               SISTER IMMACULATA

               Christine?


                               CHRISTINE

               Sister, may I be excused?


                               SISTER IMMACULATA

               Christine...


                               CHRISTINE
