month. They want $5,000. Won't the church pay? They would ifthey were interested in keeping the place. But they aren't. The archbishop wants to sell this building to the Board of Education. What will happen to you? I'll be sent to the missions-- Africa, Latin America... - Korea. - Forget it! Five grand? No problem. We'll have it foryou in the morning. Let's go. I will not take your fii lthy, stolen money! Well, then. I guess you're really up shit creek. I beg your pardon. What did you say? I offered to help you. You refused to take our money. Then I said, ''I guess you're really up shit creek.'' - Christ,Jake, take it easy, man. - Elwood! - Ow! Shit! -Jesus Christ! - Shit! -Jesus! - Shit! Goddam it! - Son ofa bitch! You fat penguin!

And don't come back... until you've redeemed yourselves. Boys, you gotta learn not to talk to nuns that way. Curtis! - You look fii ne! - Good to see you! Buy you boys a drink? Boys, things are bad. They gonna sell this place to the Board of Education... and I'll be out on the street. That money's got to be in the Cook County Assessor's Offiice within 1 1 days.

Those lost, anguished souls roaming unseen over the earth... seeking a divine light... they'll not fii nd because it's too late! Too late! Yeah! Too late for them to ever see again... the light they once chose not to follow! All right! Don't be lost when the time comes! For the day ofthe Lord cometh... as a thief in the night!
