• [first lines] 

  Sister George : [carrying a sign, returning from a protest]  Not a single arrest today, Mother!

  Mother Superior : [sarcastically]  Don't get discouraged, I'm sure you'll do better next time.

• Sister George : Mother, did sister Clarissa tell you about the bus?

  Mother Superior : What about the bus?

  Sister George : The springs are shot, the radiator leaks, the clutch slips, the block's cracked, and we need new tires. The bus will never make it 'cross country.

  Sister Clarissa : It certainly will! Chuck down at the service station says there's still plenty of life in the old girl.

  Sister George : Chuck at the service station doesn't know his - gasket - from a casket! The only thing holding that old jalopy together is prayer!

  Sister Clarissa : What's wrong with prayer?

  Sister George : Well, nothing, Sister. Every time I get into that old heap I pray to God - for a new bus!

• Father Chase : Sister's a real firebrand, isn't she, Mother?

  Mother Superior : Let's hope she doesn't intend to burn down the Church.

  Sister George : No, just... warm it up a bit.

• Sister George : Right now, Reverend Mother wouldn't give either one of you a free pass to a disaster.

• Mother Superior : When our girls leave here, Sister, they are educated.

  Sister George : They're literate, not educated. There is a difference, Mother.

• Sister George : My lecture was intended to alert the class to the dangers in ordinary household chemicals. I certainly never expected the girls to use that information to make a bomb. Who would?

  Mother Superior : I would. But then I've had 20 years in which to familiarize myself with the Machiavellian workings of the adolescent mind.

• Mother Superior : Our building is antiquated.

  Sister George : Oh! Not half as antiquated as some of the Sisters.

• Sister George : How about if, just this once, we blow tradition? Why don't you borrow some of Rosabelle's records and get an idea of, uh, how the kids are swinging?

• Sister George : I want to make a meaningful contribution. And I want to make it with joy! If I conduct myself like a 20th Century woman, I don't want to be patronized by people who say: "Oh, look at that darling little nun. She's just like a real person." I am a real person. Flesh, blood, feelings and convictions.

  Father Chase : That's for sure!

• Sister George : Wherever we go, our faith goes with us. And we hold it up for all to see. Faith, like - like love - should be shared, not hoarded.

• Sister George : You certainly run a swinging school, Father.

  Father Chase : We try.

  Sister George : We should have a dance like this at the end of each term. I know our Bishop would approve. He's really responsible for our being here. Isn't that right, Mother?

  Mother Superior : Yes. Bless him.

• Sister George : There's a new wind blowing through the church, and I...

  Mother Superior : A new wind is fine, but we can do without a typhoon.
