The Bells of St. Mary's

Patricia 'Patsy' Gallagher:
[stands up in class to present a report] The Six Senses.

Sister Mary Benedict:
Oh, the subject I gave you was the five senses.

Patricia 'Patsy' Gallagher:
Well, I chose for my subject six senses.

Sister Mary Benedict:
[baffled and confused] Well, go on, Patricia. Go on.

Patricia 'Patsy' Gallagher:
The Six Senses: To see, to hear, to taste, to smell, to feel... to be.

Mrs. Breen:
I can see you don't know what it means to be up to your neck in nuns.

Sister Mary Benedict:
If we don't fail sometimes, our successes won't mean anything. You must have courage. Don't give up.

Father Chuck O'Malley:
And if you ever need anything, no matter what it is or wherever you happen to be...

Sister Mary Benedict:
Yes, I know. I just dial O for O'Malley.

Sister Mary Benedict:
Did anyone ever tell you that you have a dishonest face? For a priest, I mean.

Patricia 'Patsy' Gallagher:
To put it in my own words, "To be or not to be, that is the question."

Father Chuck O'Malley:
There's another sense, you know, Sister.

Sister Mary Benedict:
Oh, don't tell me.

Father Chuck O'Malley:
Yes, sense enough to know when to leave.

Bobby - Boy Playing Joseph:
This is Mary and I'm Joseph and we're going to Bethlehem to see if we can have someplace... find someplace to stay, and that's all you have to know, really.

Father Chuck O'Malley:
[having just seen the first-graders' Christmas play] Oh, their simplicity is beautiful. I wouldn't change a word of it.

Sister Mary Benedict:
Oh, but THEY will.

Father Chuck O'Malley:
Does she know about this.

Dr. McKay:
Oh, not yet. It's very important that she doesn't know it. She has a wonderful vitality, a natural optimism, and that's the best medicine anyone can have. If that spirit is dampened, it would... it would have a depressing effect and delay her recovery.

Father Chuck O'Malley:
She'll have to know about it. We... we can't just send her away without...

Dr. McKay:
Don't you people, uh, more or less, uh, go where you're told without question?

Sister Mary Benedict:
There's one thing I do know - something is troubling you.

Patricia 'Patsy' Gallagher:
No. No, I just want to be a nun.

Sister Mary Benedict:
You don't become a nun to run away from life, Patsy. It's not because you've lost something. It's because you've found something.

Father Chuck O'Malley:
[Sister Mary Benedict calls a boy named Luther to recite material] Luther? How'd he get in here?

Sister Mary Benedict:
We never knew.

Father O'Malley:
What is all the excitement? Notre Dame win another one?
