We beseech thee, so to venerate the sacred mysteries of thy body and blood,

as always to be conscious of the fruit of thy redemption,

for thine who livest forever and ever.

Thanks, Jojo. No problem.

Hey.

Here we go.

Trevor.

Hey. Look.

What's that?

It's from the food bank program.

Excuse me.

Well, open it. No, you.

It's just great.

Hey, man.

I was screwing with the nuns.

We weren't. We were just celebrating.

Hey, you know, I can hug you, too, if you want.

No, it's okay.

Jojo, do me a favor. Take care of the food, all right?

Sure thing.

Didn't expect to get so much.

They could still cancel the funding.

Yeah, but this way, at least we know we have a chance.

You absolutely destroyed that guy at City Hall.

You were there, too.

I was just thinking back up.

So, we look at these documents tonight?

I can't.

What? This is important.

I know.

The Reverend Mother is coming over tonight.

I'm going to take my final vows.

Wow.

That's great.

Yeah.

Yeah, you've been waiting for this for a long time.

Seven years.

It's the last step.

Yeah, the big one.

Well, congratulations.

As always, depend on your sickness and the body.

It'll be this Sunday.

We'll have a celebration after.

We'll have a bigger cake.

I've been waiting to take my vow since I was 15 years old.

Welcome.

It was lovely of you to bring this.

Oh, um, excuse me.

Trevor, come on, come on in, have a piece of cake.

Reverend Mother, this is Trevor, my co -worker.

Nice to meet you.

Trevor.

Yes, just come to the community center around 6 .30, 7, meeting starts at 7.

Should I bring anything?

No, just the normal stuff. Oh, bring donuts. My sisters love donuts.

Hey, Marie.

I need some coffee.

Come

on.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Just leave that floating patch.

It needs to be fixed.

You okay? Fine.

Sorry.

I'm a little stressed.

Yeah, well, what you're doing, it's a big step.

Yeah. It shakes you up.

So when's the big day? Sunday.

Not soon.

Mm -hmm.

Is it private? Because, you know, I can bring you flowers. The thing is, I'm not

supposed to take my vows until I've been totally honest with myself about

anything that might come in the way of my life with God.

Marie, when I see you, I see the most committed nun that I know.

Trevor, sometimes when I'm with you, I wish I wasn't a nun.

I've always wished that.

I wasn't going to say that.

No, no, that's good.

Clears the air.

You know, having these feelings just means that we're human.

Um, no.

Actually, you're more than human.

No, I'm not.

Look.

I know what you're saying.

You do?

Yeah.

It's a test.

You're testing yourself.

I gotta go.

See you later.

See ya.

Thy belly is as bright ivory.

Thy legs are as pillars set upon sockets of fine gold.

Thy mouth is most sweet.

Honey and milk are under thy tongue.

Thou shalt lie all night between my breasts.

Sorry, I just need a signature.

I would like to... Thelma Solomon.

It's one of my favorites.

Yeah, in grade eight, we used to pass it around like pornography.

Breath like grapes.

Lips like a thread of scarlet.

It's about spiritual passion, Trevor.

Yeah, that's what the nuns used to try and tell us, too.

Well, that's the way I felt about God.

Bad electricity.

You mean turned on.

Well...

In a manner of speaking, yes.

Physically?

Well, not... It's not... No, I went out with boys I knew about.

The Song of Solomon was not about any of the boys that I knew.

Yeah, well, maybe you didn't know the right boys.

You were 15.

I guess I just found that I...

got way more out of putting that energy into God.

Hey.

It's, uh, nice, huh?

When did they make all this mess?

What is that?

I don't know. It's either corn syrup or some diabolical form of glue.

Excuse me.

Sorry. Do you think God's going to zap you for brushing against my arm?

Oh, well, you do have a rather close relationship with me.

Nuns are permitted to have human contact, you know.

Really? Mm -hmm.

Gestures of help or consolation, for example.

You wouldn't happen to have a rule book, would you? I'm a little confused.

It's the purity of the motive.

Trevor, I was thinking about last night and... Yeah, me too.

Look, I'm crazy about you.

But I absolutely respect your calling.

No, that's not what I was going to say. Look, you have a higher purpose.

No, Trevor, I'm an ordinary person.

No, the nuns at school were ordinary.

You're closer to God than anyone I've ever met.

No, listen... Look, let me just finish.

I understand that after seven years you may want to test your vocation, but just

don't make me the other man.

Do you want to know what I was thinking last night?

Seven years of chastity.

Keeping that vow for the rest of my life.

I could do it.

But there's you.

Think it was a bad idea?

No.

The order's been my whole life. They've given me my job, my friends, my

apartment, my... you.

I need to be by myself for a little while.

Please give me a sign.

You're still here?

Yeah, just... Just wanted to make sure you were okay.

Look, uh... We can forget this ever happened.

Is that what you want?

Isn't that what you want?

Well, I'm pretty sure everybody that counts already knows about it, so... I

should never have asked to take my final vows.

Hey, what about God?

Electricity. Oh.

Turns out they're separate.

Different, but the same.

You were right about the boys.

I was 15.

I had all these feelings, and they scared me. I didn't know where to put

There was God.

I put them there.

I'm not going to be around for a while.

I'm going to have to take a retreat and figure out what I need to do.

Trevor, it could take a while.

I'll wait.

the orders in my whole life. I don't know which way it's going to go.

Hey, maybe I'll go back to prayer.

God forbid.
