Plot – A night clubs’ singer called Deloris accidentally witnesses a murder accomplished by his ex-lover’s boss and reports him to the police. She hides in a convent dressed as a nun to protect herself. At the beginning, she is a bit confused by all the rituals, but then she transforms the crumbling choir of nuns in an extraordinary vocal ensemble that draws believers to the church again.

- Mary Patrick: Now that should have tipped us...”“- Deloris: We could pack this joint.
- Mother Superior: Through blasphemy? You have corrupted the entire choir!
- Deloris: How can you say that? I worked my butt off with these women! They've given up their free time to do this, and they're good! I mean, sister, we could, we could rock this place!
- Mother Superior: Out of the question!”“- Eddie Souther: Mrs. Van Cartier? You're Vince LaRocca's girlfriend, right?

- Larry Merrick: Yeah, I went to law school, Vince.
- Vince LaRocca: Did you graduate?

- Joey: Oh, my God. She's prayin'.
- Deloris: Lord, I want you to forgive Willy and Joey, because they know not what they do. They're only doin' what Vince told 'em to do, because Vince is too chicken to do it himself! So he's called upon these two men to take care of his business! So I want you to forgive them, Lord.”“- Mother Superior: Girl groups? Boogie-woogie on the piano? What were you thinking?
- Deloris: I was thinkin' more like Vegas, y'know, get some butts in the seats.

- Eddie Souther: I want you to stay here for a while.
- Deloris: Where?
- Eddie Souther: In the convent. It's the safest place in the world. You think Vince is gonna look for you in a convent?”“- Joey: Vince, we can't waste a nun.
- Vince LaRocca: What are you two nuts talking about? It's Deloris, in a costume.
- Willy: How do you know she didn't sign up and become one of them when she was there? Things like this happen.
- Vince LaRocca: Because I know this woman. In the biblical sense and she ain't no nun.”“- Biker #2: Wanna dance, sister?
- Deloris: Why? You don't have any rhythm.”“- Vince LaRocca: She's a broad. Y'got it? Just a broad!
- Mother Superior: I guarantee you she is no broad! She is Sister Mary Clarence of St. Katherine's Convent. She's a model of generosity, virtue, and love! You have my word for it, gentlemen, she is a nun!
- Willy: Ya hear that? Now, aren't you glad we didn't shoot her?”“- Deloris:There's gotta be something around here I can do that's not gonna chip my nails or annoy anybody.
- Mother Superior: You're right, Mary Clarence. To err is human, to forgive divine. You may stay. But I shall restrict your activities to a single task.
- Deloris: What's that?
- Mother Superior: Singing. You will join the choir.”
