Rachel Devery : Couldn't we have uniforms, too, Reverend Mother?
Mother Superior : Most certainly not. The band will perform in their gym suits.
Rachel Devery : Our gym suits?
Mother Superior : Yes.
Mary Clancy : But, they're awful! I mean, it's not as if they were like Sacred Heart's. At Sacred Heart they wear short-shorts for gym.
Mother Superior : They're French.

Mary Clancy : Hi, Marvel-Ann!
