[barking]

[Jacqueline]
When one watched Sister Bertrille playing tag

with the clouds
high above San Juan,

it was difficult to believe
her past contained nothing more exotic

than a Chicago suburb
and a nice,

ordinary,
middle-class upbringing.

But it was all true.

She was really very much
like the typical girl next door

who had learned how to fly.

It turned out she was
even someone's kid sister.

[Reverend Mother]
Good news, Sister Bertrille?

Oh, yes, great news.
It's from my sister. Uh, listen.

"Dear Elsie."
That's my old name.

Elsie ethrington.

[giggling]
Now you wonder why I'm so crazy

about the name
Sister Bertrille.

I mean, anything would be
an improvement, right?

Well, what did
your sister say? Oh, yes.

"Dear Elsie,
just a short note to tell you I'll be arriving in San Juan

"on the 24th
and staying for a few days before leaving for Brazil.

Looking forward
to seeing you, Jennifer."

[Bertrille]
Isn't that great? Yes, indeed.

Uh, what city in Brazil
is she going to?

Oh, no, she won't be working
in a city, Reverend Mother.

She's going to
some of the small villages. You see, she's a doctor,

[bertrille]
And she just volunteered

to serve with
the peace corps for 2 years.

[Reverend Mother]
How wonderful.

[Sixto]
A lady doctor?

She must have some head
between her shoulders.

Yes.
Well, it runs in the family.

You see, my father's
a doctor, and my mother's a surgical nurse,

and my brother's
in his 2nd year of medical school.

I'm the only one
in the family

that didn't go into
the business, so to speak.

I guess that makes you
the black ship of the family.

Sheep, sister.

And I--I--I do not think that
that is a very apt description of someone

who chooses to, uh,
enter the convent.

I just hope
she doesn't get bored.

Uh, why should she
get bored?

Sister Jacqueline, uh,
the nightlife at the convent

leaves something
to be desired.

[Jacqueline clears throat]

I--I mean,
if you're not a nun.

I mean, I like it.

[Jacqueline]
Sister Bertrille needn't have worried.

Jennifer was to experience
many emotions

during her visit to San Juan,

but boredom
was not one of them.

Well, you haven't given me
an answer yet, Jennifer.

Will you see me
tonight?

I'd love to,
Carlos,

but I have to visit
the convent San Tanco.

The convent? Why?

What are you
doing there?

Personal business.

Hmm.

Hey,
you are not becoming a nun?

[giggling]
No.

No, I'm going to visit
my sister Elsie.

[chuckles]
Oh, she works there?

She's a novice
at the convent. Mmm-hmm.

Sister Elsie?

Funny,
I never met her.

We'll be landing
in San Juan in a few minutes.

Fasten your seat belts,
please. Oh, thank you.

What do you do
for a living, Jennifer?

I'm a doctor.

A doctor?
But you are so pretty.

Thank you,
but regular features haven't saved a patient yet.

Oh, but I bet
it sure helps.

Anyway,
if I ever need a doctor, I'm going to call on you.

I sincerely hope
you'll never need my services, Carlos.

Why?
I'm an obstetrician.

[laughing]

All right, kids,
pass the papers down. Come on.

Pass them down.

I haven't got all year,
you know.

Oh, Jenny!

Oh, honey!

Oh, it's so good
to see you.

Oh, you, too.

Let me look at you.

Oh, I can't get over it.
My kid sister finally grew up.

Sometimes we didn't think
you'd make it.

Oh, come here.
Come here.

Oh. Class,
I want you to meet my sister Jennifer.

Hi.

[speaking Spanish]

W-What did he say?

He said he didn't think
nuns were allowed to have sisters.

[laughing]

Uh, class, in honor
of my sister's visit today, we'll have an early recess.

[Bertrille]
Everybody out.

[kids cheering]

Anyway, we got to talking,

and he turned out to be
charming as well as handsome.

And he had
this whole evening planned.

First, dinner
at his place,

and then
a personally-guided tour of San Juan

ending with
a midnight swim.

Oh, wow, it sounds exciting.
What time is he picking you up?

Well, he's not.
He's phoning later,

but I'm going to tell him
I want to spend the evening here with you.

Jen,
the only kind of excitement we could offer you

is a snappy game
of Checkers.

But I wanted
to visit with you.

Well, there's
plenty of time to see me.

Look, maybe I can
take you along,

and we can all
have dinner together.

Oh, well,
that's a fabulous idea.

I can see his face now
when you say,

"oh, by the way,
I brought my kid sister along, the nun."

That'll get
the evening off to a rousing start.

[chattering]

[chattering]

[crickets chirping]

It's Carlos.
It was Carlos she was talking about!

What's
the matter?

Jen's going out
with Carlos.

Why are you in such a flip?
Isn't he a friend of yours?

Sure, he is.

But would you want
your sister to date him?

[car engine starting]

He must have taken
the phone off the hook.

Why would he
do that?

Sister, you've got
a lot to learn about men.

I'll buy that.

I've got to warn her.

You're really worried
about Jennifer.

Yes, I am.

Well, I wouldn't be
if she were with anyone else.

But Carlos is so Latin.

♪[music playing]
Do you like champagne, Jennifer?

Yes,
on special occasions.

Well, that's up to us,
don't you think?

Us?
Mmm-hmm.

To try our best
to make this...

A night to remember.

Sometimes you can try
too hard, Carlos.

Too hard?

What do you mean?

Aren't you having
a good time?

Oh, so far,
I've had a wonderful time.

The food and wine
are marvelous.

You're an attractive,
charming man, but...

[sighing]
Come on, go on.

Well...

Frankly, right now
I feel

as if I'm in the middle
of a Doris Day movie.

What?
Well, you know, the seduction scene

in Rock Hudson's
apartment.

Seduction?

Whatever made you think
of that?

The subdued lighting,
the romantic music,

the telephone off
the hook.

[replacing telephone]

It's all a bit obvious,
don't you think?

Ok, I admit it.

Tonight I was
a little bit obvious.

I'm sorry, Carlos.
I just don't believe in instant passion.

Well, neither do I.

But how about
if we rehearse?

I have
a better idea.

How about
that midnight swim you promised me?

Well,
I never welch on a promise.

I tell you what,
we can change here,

and then we drive
down to the beach.

We can have a nightcap
on my boat.

Here, take your pick.

You're prepared
for any emergency, aren't you?

Here,
they belong to my sisters.

You're a terrible liar,
Carlos.

Oh, that's not true.

I'm an excellent liar.

[Carlos]
Go away, we are busy.

Oh, it should take you
about 3 minutes

to change out
of your clothes.

[Jennifer]
Give me 4. It'll take me longer than you.

[Carlos]
I just do not believe it!

What are you
doing here?

I was just about
to ask you that.

Well,
before you came barging in

I was just about to
get changed into a swimsuit.

Swimsuit?

You're-- you're
going swimming?

Yes.
What's going on here?

What business is it of yours
what Jennifer is doing?

Carlos, I didn't come here
to talk to you. I came to talk to my sister.

I don't care who you--

your sister?

That's right.

Is she your sister?

You didn't tell him?

I didn't think
you knew him.

Oh, yes.

Carlos and I are
great friends, aren't we, Carlos?

You never told me
you had a sister.

You never asked.

You mean, if you'd known
Sister Bertrille was my sister,

you wouldn't
have asked me out?

Well,
I--I'll be honest with you.

I would have thought
about it a lot more.

All right, Elsie,
now you're here.

What do you
want to see me about?

Well, could I talk to you
over here a minute?

All right, sister.
I know why you came here.

She came
to warn you about me.

She was going to tell you
that I'm a gambler, and--and a playboy,

and I have
absolutely no scruples about women.

[Carlos]
Am I right, sister?

Well, you paraphrased
a little bit, but that's about the size of it.

Look, you're my sister,
not my mother.

But, Jen,
you don't know Carlos.

And you do?

Oh, she makes
an appearance on practically every date I have.

Well, I don't
do it on purpose.

It just happens
that way.

Ok, Elsie,
I'm sure you meant well.

Now don't you
have something to do at the convent?

Oh.

This is
just like old times.

You remember
when you used to send me up to my room?

[Jennifer]
Not quite.

In those days,
I had to bribe you with a lollipop.

Oh.

Yeah.

Good night, Jen.

Good night.

Good night, Carlos.

Good night.

The next time,
I promise I'll knock.

Fine.

Uh, see you
at the convent. Good night.

Good night.

Uh, Sister Jacqueline
said you wanted to see me, Reverend Mother.

Uh, y-yes, Sister Bertrille.
I was at the hospital tonight,

and while I was there,
I--I--I'm afraid

that I may have spoken
rather hastily.

You, Reverend Mother?

Uh, yes, Sister Bertrille.
You see, the hospital received word

from a small village
in the interior

that one of the residents
had been bitten by a dog that was probably rabid.

And when the hospital

told me that they couldn't
spare a doctor until tomorrow, I, uh--

well, I mentioned
your sister to them.

And they want Jen
to go out and take a look, huh?

Yes.

I know that it is
a tremendous imposition.

Oh, no.
I'm sure she'll be glad to.

Can you reach her
by phone?

No, but I know
where I can find her.

Good. While you're gone,
I--I will try to arrange for some transportation.

[Reverend Mother]
She will need a plane to fly her in.

Oh, well, Reverend Mother,
I think I can handle that, too.

Uh, Señor Ramirez
has a plane.

Well, yes, but,

do you think
that Señor Ramirez

would be wiling
to fly your sister into the interior?

When you go out
with a doctor, you've got to expect

to make an occasional
house call.

Right.

[crickets chirping]

So, before going
into private practice,

I decided to join
the peace corps.

And they assigned me
to Brazil.

Now you know
everything about me.

Not quite.
I--I would like to know

if you'll come and visit
my mother tomorrow.

It will make her
very happy.

Why?

Well, my mother
always wanted me to marry a doctor.

You should
be careful.

That could very easily
be taken as a proposal.

It is a proposal.

Will you marry me?

You want to marry me
after knowing me for one evening?

Well, I know myself.
And I know how I feel about you.

Oh, look, Carlos,
I'm very flattered.

Uh,

I mean, I like you.

But it wouldn't be fair
to let you think

I'm even remotely
interested in marriage in the near future.

[chuckles]
Every girl is interested in marriage.

Why not you?

Well, for one thing,
I'm committed to 2 years in South America.

So? I'll go with you.

Oh, Carlos, I'm not
going to be staying in a luxury hotel.

Somehow I just can't
imagine you being happy in a jungle village.

Jennifer, I can be happy
with you anywhere.

Now, will you
think about it?

[laughs]

You know,
this is crazy.

But I'm tempted.

I realize
it's ridiculous even to talk about--

[window opening]

Hi, there.

You know, it used to be
a lot simpler when I'd give you 50 cents

and send you
to the movies.

She has the worst sense
of timing in the world.

What did I
interrupt now?

If you must know,
I was in the middle of...

Proposing
to your sister.

Proposing?

You want
to marry her?

Hard to believe,
but true.

Well, uh,
what did you tell him?

Look, let's not turn this
into a group discussion.

[Jennifer]
What did you want to see me about this time?

Well, it's an emergency,

and it involves you
and Carlos.

What are you
talking about, sister?

Carlos, how would you like
to spend some time with Jennifer alone?

Of course,
she didn't tell us that the nearest landing field

was 5 miles away
from the village.

[panting]
Oh, well. Hey, I--I spotted the village

over there someplace.
Isn't that great?

Well, it wasn't my idea
to come along.

The Reverend Mother
insisted.

[birds chirping]

Carlos, would you like
to stop and rest for a while?

[panting]
What makes you think I need a rest?

Well, you look
sort of rumpled and sweaty.

That's because
I wasn't trained to be a pack mule.

How much further,
Elsie?

Not far.

According to the map,
the village should be

just on the other side
of this swamp.

Oh, great.

The scenic route.

Would you like us
to help you carry the medical supplies, Carlos?

Oh, no,
thank you, Jennifer.

I may not
be a Tarzan,

but I'm not exactly
a weakling.

Come on.

Let's go.
Ok.

No, Carlos,
not that way!

[exclaiming]

How are you
coming along there, Carlos?

I feel stupid.

Well, you look
charming.

I'll get Elsie to hang
your trousers out to dry.

How is he?

Well, the bite itself
isn't too bad.

It all depends on
whether that dog was rabid.

Oh, what a snappy-looking
outfit.

Who asked you?

What did you
find out?

Well, they don't seem
to be able to find the dog.

They think maybe
he crawled off someplace and died.

I feel like
joining him.

Well,
that settles it.

I think I better give him
the first injection now.

You know,
I'm going to need some more light.

You want to bring
that lamp over here, please?

And Carlos,
I'm going to need your help, too.

Finally,
I'm going to be of some use.

What do you mean?

Well, so far,
I haven't covered myself with glory, have I?

Don't be silly.

I think
you've borne up very well.

Now I want you to translate
what I'm going to say to the patient.

I'll hang up
his pants. Fine.

Tell him
he's going to get 14 injections,

1 each day
for 2 weeks.

[speaking Spanish]

I'm going to give him
the first one now. [Carlos speaking Spanish]

[Jennifer]
And then we'll fly him back

to the hospital
in San Juan for the rest.

[speaking Spanish]

[exclaiming]

What's the matter?

Are you going to stick
that big needle in him?

Yes.

Oh.

Look, it's not pleasant,
but it's not as bad as it looks.

Anyway, there's
no alternative.

Are you all right,
Carlos?

Such a big needle.

[Bertrille]
You want any help?

Uh, yes,
just hold the patient's hand and look sympathetic.

Well, that's easy.
I am sympathetic.

Carlos?
Carlos?

Huh?

Would you hold the light
over my shoulder so I can see, please?

Are you
up to that?

Oh, of course
I'm up to that.

All right.
Here goes.

[lamp crashing]

What happened?

Carlos.
He fainted.

Ok, Carlos.
Take it easy. It's all right.

[coughing]

What happened?

You fainted.

That's impossible.

No it's not. It's true.
When Jen put the needle in you went,

[imitating crashing]

Out like a light.

Well, you don't have to
sound so cheerful about it.

Oh, I'm not cheerful.
I'm just telling it like it is.

Ok, Elsie.

We're going to need
a stretcher to get Pedro to the plane.

Maybe you can
rustle one up, huh?

Ok. And don't feel
too bad, Carlos.

After all, you're a gambler,
not a nurse. Here, fan yourself.

Elsie's right, Carlos.
Don't feel too badly about it.

I fainted 4 times
my first year at med school.

Yeah,
but you're a girl.

Poor Carlos.

You have had
a rough time of it, haven't you?

Mmm.

That makes up
for everything.

And I still want
to marry you.

Of course,
I realize

that you probably think
that I couldn't adapt myself

to living in Brazil.

But I could learn.
I could--

you find
my proposal funny?

No, no, Carlos,
just your costume.

Oh.

I look ridiculous,
huh?

No,
as a matter of fact,

I think you look
rather appealing.

Enough to marry me?

Carlos, I don't think
we should talk about that now.

Where do you want me
to put this? Oh!

Oh, my goodness!
Carlos, are you hurt?

I think I sat on
something sharp.

How do you feel,
Carlos?

I don't want
to discuss it.

But I--
I don't want to discuss anything.

I just wanted
to tell you

that you didn't have
to be embarrassed.

I mean, Jen's a doctor,
and don't worry about me.

I've had a year
of nurses' training.

And who are
these kids? Interns?

What are
these children doing here?

[speaking Spanish]

What did he say?

He said
in this village

they don't have
any television.

Why don't you tell them
to go out and sell tickets?

[speaking Spanish]

Scram.
Hit the road, Jack. Come on.

[children speaking Spanish]

Show's over.
Go on out.

Now hold still, Carlos.
I've got about 3 more stitches,

and then I'll have you
almost as good as new.

Don't worry
about a thing, Carlos.

Jen is fantastic
with a needle.

A real neat stitcher.

Elsie, why don't you leave
bad enough alone?

Well, I just thought
Carlos would feel better

if he knew
his wounds wouldn't show.

I'm not interested
in your opinions about my wounds.

[Jennifer]
There, now. I'm all finished.

Now don't move!

Do you think
if we get you carried to the plane,

you'll be able to fly?

Oh, sure.
Carlos isn't one of those pilots

who flies
by the seat of his pants.

[laughing]

That's not funny,
Elsie.

Sorry, Jen.
I was just trying to lighten the situation.

Well, I better go out
and try and recruit some stretcher-bearers.

[sighing]
Ok.

I--I guess
you're pretty sore, huh?

I--I mean, I mean,
I guess you're mad.

I mean, I guess sore
isn't the right word to use at this moment, huh?

[Carlos]
No, it isn't the right word.

Destroyed, shattered,
humiliated. Those are the right words.

Carlos, there's no reason
to feel like that.

Uh, no?

I ask a girl out,
and what happens?

I end up in the wilds
of the jungle with a--a nun

and a farmer
who has rabies.

Then I fall
into a swamp,

lose my trousers,
and faint.

Then, to top it off,
I get hit by a stretcher, fall on some bottles,

and I am...
Subjected to having my--

to being stitched up
by the woman I love.

Now how should I feel?
You tell me, how should I feel?

Unlucky?

Don't you realize
that I can't face her again?

[Bertrille]
But why?

Because,
the sort of experience we've been through together

tends to kill romance.

But I don't see why.

It was our first date.

Oh, Carlos,
I'm so sorry.

No, you are not!

Don't be hypocritical
about it.

What do you mean
by that?

You planned
the whole thing.

[exclaiming]
What?

You didn't want me
to marry your sister.

Don't you deny it.

You wanted Jennifer
to fall out of love with me,

so you deliberately took me
into the jungle.

You wanted me
out of the city.

Now why would I want
to do that?

Because, you know
that in--in the city I am...

Rather appealing.

You know
that in the jungle I fall apart.

Well, it worked.

I hope
you're satisfied.

Carlos, do you really think
I'd do that to you?

Yes.

But you're my friend.

And she is
your sister.

And blood is thicker
than water.

That's not true.

[Carlos]
Oh, no? We'll see.

Jennifer?
Yes.

Answer me yes or no.
Will you marry me?

Carlos, I--

yes or no?

No, I--
you see?

But, Carlos,
that has got nothing to do with your accident.

I refuse to talk
about it any further.

But I--

in fact,
I refuse to talk to anybody ever again.

And he didn't.

[Jacqueline]
Not to anyone?

Well,
not to Jennifer or myself.

He wouldn't even answer
the telephone to us.

Oh, cheer up, sister.
It's not as bad as all that.

Oh, yes,
it is.

There's nothing worse
than losing a friend.

I've said goodbye to everyone
but Sister Sixto. I couldn't find her.

Oh, she's helping out
at the hospital today.

I'll say goodbye
to her for you.

Oh, thank you,
sister.

No sign
of Carlos?

Afraid not.

[Sixto]
Jennifer!

Oh, I didn't want you
to leave

before I had a chance
to say goodbye. Goodbye.

I'd have been here sooner
except I was busy as a wasp.

Oh, it was
very sweet of you to come.

Oh, by the way,
I--I saw your friend Carlos.

[Bertrille]
At the hospital?

He's having his stitches
taken out.

I guess that means
he's back to normal, huh?

Well,
let's hope so.

Elsie,
I'm afraid we have to go.

Yes. We do
have to go

but not to the airport.

We're going
to go see Carlos.

Jennifer, it's part
of our job to comfort the sick and wounded.

You almost through,
doctor?

Almost.

You have some visitors,
Señor Ramirez.

Hi.

Oh, no.

What are you
doing here?

Jennifer wanted to talk
to you, Carlos.

Is this allowed?

I mean, can just anyone
walk in here and watch a private operation?

Of course not.

Sister Bertrille,
please, come with me.

Wait a minute!
What about her?

Doesn't she
have to leave, too?

Of course not.

Dr. Ethrington
is not only a physician,

but is very familiar
with your case.

Carlos,

we have
a lot to talk about.

[laughing]

Oh, thank you,
Carlos, for driving us to the airport.

Well, I owed you
something.

I was wrong
about you, sister.

I'm sorry.

What exactly
did Jen say to you, or would that be prying?

It would be prying,
but I'll tell you anyway.

She told me
that her refusing to marry me

had nothing to do with you
or our trip to the jungle.

You were really hung up
on old Jen, weren't you?

Yeah. Well,
I'll get over it.

My, you certainly
are taking it all nicely.

Well, that's because,
uh, she reminded me of something

that made her rejection
a little easier to take.

What's that?

That if, uh,
I married her,

it would make you
my sister-in-law.

And I'm not sure
I'm ready for that yet.
