All language subtitles for The Flying Nun s01e22 Sister Lucky.eng

[Jacqueline] Charity is an everyday thing
at Convent San Tanco.

But I shall never forget
one particular day

when Sister Bertrille,

with her characteristic
enthusiasm,

set out to solicit funds
for the poor.

Get with it.

All right, he goes,
goes, gentlemen.

[man] All go.

[inaudible]
Police?

Hi.
Will you mind, Sister?

Oh, not at all.
Go right ahead.

Uh, look, I was just
collecting money

for the poor and I-
Uh, some other time. Please.

Five bucks
still open out there.

I'll take three.
Who wants the other two?

Me.

Sister,
with all due respect,

will you get lost?

Oh, no.
Please forgive Juan, Sister.

He got a big losing streak,
you know?

Well, I don't need
a house to fall on me.

Anyone else for charity?

All right. Here, roll 'em,
roll 'em. Come on.

Thank you very much.
Goodbye, Sister.

[men clamoring]

Come on, snake eyes.

[all shouting]

Seven!

Hey, Sister.

[exclaiming]

All right.

[laughing]
Thank you.

Come on, you roll.

[all chattering]

Come on, snake eyes.

Come on four!

[exclaiming]
Again!

Sister Lucky!

Where you been
all my life?

I got,
still got five bucks...

♪♪

[Juan] One for the rich, me.
One for the poor.

One for the rich.
One for the poor.

Oh, that's a lot of money.

Sister, you earned it.
I earned it?

Sure. Listen,
before you came along,

I couldn't roll a seven
with loaded dice.

I have a feeling it's going
to be very different now.

How can I ever thank you?

Oh, don't thank me.

Just keep coming down
to the docks.

We're a winning combination,
you and me.

Now, listen,
we have a game here

every day
about noon time.

You come around
any time you want.

Tomorrow, huh?

Uh, listen,
I have to go back to work.

You know, you're better
than a rabbit's foot.

Oh, wait until
Reverend Mother sees this.

[laughing]

Sister Lucky?

Well, it's just a nickname,
Reverend Mother.

But after he made
four the hard way

and then threw
seven natural passes

in a row.
He threw what?

He won.
And this is our split.

I mean, uh,
his contribution to the poor.

Sister Bertrille,
you will return this money,

every last penny.

And further,
you will disabuse

this man of the notion

that a Sister of San Tanco

is in any way
a gambler's good luck charm.

Reverend Mother,
Juan didn't mean any harm.

No. I am sure
that he did not.

But you, Sister Bertrille,
have the responsibility

of presenting a certain image
to the outside world

and it is not that
of a-a-a-

Rabbit's foot?

Anything is an improvement
on Sister Lucky.

Yes, Reverend Mother.

Uh, incidentally,
you may have heard

that Bishop Parnell
will be visiting

from the mainland today.

I would appreciate
your making his stay

as uneventful as possible.

Yes, Reverend Mother.

Hey, Sister Lucky.

I'm not Sister Lucky.

I'm Sister Bertrille.
Bertrille.

And I've come
to give your money back.

What's the matter?
you run out of poor?

No. But I got this money
under false pretenses.

I'm not your lucky charm.

Well, Sister,
you know what they say.

[straining]
A rose by any other name

still smells pretty good.

But, Juan,
now listen to me.

I had nothing to do
with your winning

or losing any money.

You see, it's a matter
of mathematical odds

and the law of probability.
Is that a fact?

Yes. You see,

it's a-
it's a scientific fact.

In-in-in college
we put on this experiment,

where they sky-flip
this coin for two days,

you know what it proved?
Yeah.

It proved that kid's old man
was wasting a lot of money

sending him to college.
No.

It proved that
within a given period of time,

the same number of heads
and tails will always come up.

Let me...
Yeah. But, Sister,

that little kid
didn't have you with him.

Oh, Juan, this is
absolutely nonsense.

Now here, take
your money back, please.

What? And ruin a good thing?
No chance.

Ok. Well, I'll just leave it
right here.

Sister, wait a minute.

Listen to me please.

I've been gambling
a long time.

I had cold streaks,
I had hot streaks.

Mostly cold streaks.

Lately frozen streaks.

Now just when things
beginning to warm up,

you're gonna queer it
for me?

You mean to tell me
you really believe that?

Oh, absolutely.

Well,
it's completely illogical.

Sister, who ever told you
gamblers were logical people?

Well, you shouldn't be
gambling in the first place.

That's another story.

Please, Sister,
take the money.

Ok.

[grunting]
Just let it sit there.

Oh, Juan, you're the most
stubborn man I've ever met.

Ok. Ok.

I'm gonna have to get
this "Sister Lucky" nonsense

out of your head
once and for all.

Have you got those dice?

I just happen to have them.

Ok. Roll it.

Roll what?
Where's the game?

Right here.

Me bet against you?

You're not betting
against anyone.

This is
a little experiment.

Sister, listen to me.

You got your religion,
I got mine.

I don't shoot no craps

unless I got
a little something going.

And under no conditions

am I going
to tangle with you.

Goodbye, Sister.

Wait a minute,
of all the impossible...

Uh, señor, uh,
could you help us out here?

Uh, we here are performing
this little experiment

and we, uh, kind
of need a middleman.

Here you go.

Roll it.

[Juan] 45. Just the number
I had in mind.

Five straight passes,
I'm not even warm yet.

You want to continue?

Of course
he wishes to continue.

After all,
this is just an experiment.

[Juan blowing dice]

Be natural, dice.
Comin' out.

Hello, five. 23.

23. 23. 23.

Hello, five.

[Juan exclaiming]

[men chattering]

17 straight passes.

Sister, you still believe
there's no luck?

Absolutely. Eventually
the law of probability

will prove itself.

Whatever happened
to snake eyes?

Comin' out. Comin' out.

Ten. A difficult point
to make.

Wrong.

An easy point to make

when you have Sister Lucky
on your team.

[Juan speaking Spanish]

This is the one,
five and five.

[men exclaiming]
Ten back again.

I give up.

Oh, well, I don't.
This can't go on forever.

[policeman whistling]

Sister, you said it.

[Juan] Run.
What?

I swear...

Sister.

Oh, hello, off-officer,

Listen, this isn't
what it looks like.

I was just trying
to show that, uh...

Well, that-that man

that sooner or later
my luck would run out.

You know what, Sister?
What?

It just did.
It just did.

Ah-hah.

Father Gonzaga
looks very well.

Uh, yes. Indeed.

I want to thank you
for making this extra stop

to drop off my bags.

Our pleasure,
Your Grace.

I'm looking forward
to seeing San Tanco again.

It's been a long time
since my last visit.

I suppose it's all changed.

Changed?

No, I think
it's much the same.

We try to do
our very best, Your Grace,

just to keep things
from changing,

uh, for the worse.

A not too unusual problem,
Sister,

in our world today.

Yes, indeed.

Oh, Reverend Mother,

did I remember to mention
in my letter

that I wished
to meet Sister Bertrille?

Sister Bertrille?

Do you know her,
Your Grace?

No.

But her aunt and uncle

asked me
to bring their regards.

To see how
she's progressing.

She is still with you?

[police siren wailing]
Oh, yes. Yes, indeed.

Sister Bertrille
is one of our most, uh,

most active novices.

Dedicated and active
in all areas of her vocation?

Sister Bertrille
seems to, uh, go into areas

that we have never thought
of entering before.

Some Sister Lucky.
Look where it got us.

Oh, don't feel
so bad, Sister.

Look at it this way.

The food is not so bad,
the price is right.

I still feel lucky.

Besides, you're free
to go any time you want.

Even Captain Lopez
has enough sense

to know
you weren't gambling.

And neither were you.

Well, that he's not
so sure about.

[Carlos] What do you mean Captain Lopez
will not allow visitors?

If your brother-in-law
wasn't a commissioner,

you'd still
be stuffing enchiladas.

Señor, please.

[Bertrille] Carlos.

I see it,
but I do not believe it.

How did you know
I was here?

My dear Sister Bertrille,

when the police grab a nun
in a floating crap game,

somehow the word gets around.

And you came all the way
down here

because you were worried
about me?

Oh, Carlos,
it's so nice of you to care.

Of course I care.

After all, you're one
of my best friends.

And you,
lockin' up a nun.

You ought to be thrown
in your own jail.

Señor Ramirez, please.

The good Sister is
absolutely free to leave.

She is staying here
against my will.

I am not holding her.
I will show you.

Sister, eh?

Now, she insists
on staying in my jail.

Well, I've got
good reasons. Them.

Them?
Them.

Me.
You?

Why?
Well, it's a long story.

See, Juan gave me
a dollar for the poor,

since then he's been
on a winning streak.

This loser?

That's right, sport.

Ever since Sister Lucky
came into my life,

everything is changed.

What a pity
I can't accommodate you.

I won't be in here forever,
matador.

Well, my casino
is always at your disposal,

24 hours a day.

Oh, really?

No, no, no.

The whole idea is outrageous.

For once I'm forced
to agree with him.

But, Carlos, you said yourself
you couldn't lose.

You've got to help me
show Juan

that I'm not
his lucky charm.

Sister, I came here
just to get you out of jail,

not to get involved
in one of your crazy schemes.

But I can't leave
until I make Juan understand.

I promised
the Reverend Mother.

Sister, please.

I'll make you
a deal, Carlos.

You do this for me
and I'll leave.

Ok. I'll do it.

Oh, you cannot gamble
in my jail.

Because it is against
the-the-the-the law.

But this is different.

Carlos is
a professional gambler.

He has a license
to run a casino.

But this is not
a casino, Sister.

Yes, but, Captain,
you know the saying:

if Mohammed can't go
to the mountain-

No.

It is impossible.
Definitely no!

My brother-in-law
should only walk in now-

Oh, don't worry
about it, Captain.

Contrary to appearances,

you're actually doing
humanity a great service.

If he would look
at it that way, yes.

[Juan] Uh, incidentally,

uh, how much is the bank?

More than enough, my friend.

I wouldn't worry
if I were you.

Well, since
I'm going to break it,

I'd like to know
what I'm shooting for.

I will let you know

when the pain
becomes unbearable.

Soon, I hope.

Now, ahem,
shall we talk about

the color of your money?

[clearing throat]

Envelope, please.
Ah, yes.

Mmm-hmm.

Are you sure you want
to go through with this?

Deal.

Deal. Deal.

[sighs]

Hit me.

All right.

20.

[Juan] 21.

[whistling]

[exclaims]

Black Jack!

[Juan laughs]

I thought you said
you couldn't lose.

In the long run.

Well, I'm
in kind of a hurry.

And I, too.

Patience.

18. Dealer pays 19.

Ah, 19! You must have been
reading my mind.

[Juan laughs]

Patience. Patience.

After all,
in the long run...

Carlos, just how long
is this run gonna be?

I'm afraid we'll never know.

The game is over.
The bank is closed.

What?

You've won the limit.

So raise it, matador.

Not today, my friend.

Carlos-
No, Sister.

May I speak to you?
No, Sister.

No, Sister.

No, no, no, no.

But, Carlos,
if you quit now,

I'll never convince him, and
the Reverend Mother will find out.

You won't have helped,
you've made 'em worse.

I've made them worse?
Yes.

In the long run, and-
Well, I know. I know.

Why can't I lead a nice,
normal, uncomplicated life?

Before you came to San Juan,
my days were carefree,

Filled with romance
and beauty.

Now, gone.

For years I run a casino
with great success.

Now you come up
with some clown

who's about to put me
into bankruptcy.

But, Carlos, you said
you could beat him-

Ok, fine.
I'll go back to that cell.

But you know something?
What?

I may end up there
permanently.

For gambling?
No, for murder.

[telephone buzzing]

Uh, one moment, Sister.

Captain Lopez speaking.

Oh, Captain Lopez,
this is Sister Jacqueline.

Is Sister Bertrille with you,
by any chance?

Unfortunately, yes,
uh, Sister Jacqueline. Yes.

Uh, would it be possible
for me to speak with her?

Uh, yes.
Certainly, yes.

Please speak to her, please.

For me?

Hi. Everything all right?

Yes, of course.

Uh, we're just
a little concerned

about your long absence.

What exactly are you doing?

Trying to do what
the Reverend Mother told me.

Convince Juan
I'm not his lucky nun.

But that hasn't been easy.

I see.
[Reverend Mother] Sister Jacqueline,

is Sister Bertrille
free yet?

No, I'm afraid she's
still, uh, tied up.

When do you suppose
she'll be at liberty?

Sister, how-how soon
do you think you'll be through

with your assignment?

Bishop Parnell
is most anxious to see you.

Oh, boy,
I forgot all about him.

[chuckles]
I wouldn't.

Well, that's
kind of a problem

considering
I'm under arrest.

Or I am as long as Juan
and the others are.

I can't very well
just walk out,

and now Carlos
is in trouble.

Things have gone
from bad to worse.

I can't be in two places
at the same time.

[whispering]
Well, you've done it before.

I suggest you do it again.

Right.

[clearing throat]

Say, how about
some fresh air?

There is no one on duty

in the exercise yard
at this hour.

Oh.

Anyone for food?
The kitchen is closed.

Oh.

I don't suppose
anyone's thirsty?

Well, you know, Sister,

I could go for something
tall and cold.

Great. I'll get you
a soft drink.

Well, listen, please
don't be too long.

No.
You will find a machine

down the hall.
Right.

[footsteps pattering]

Boy!
Sister, am I in time?

His Grace awaits within.

Great. Oh, Sister,
could you please round up

a couple of soda pop
to take back?

Soda pop? To take back?
Yeah.

I thought you were paroled.
No, I busted out.

But if I don't get back,
things will be worse.

All right.

Sorry to keep you waiting,
Your Grace.

Sister Bertrille?

I'm so glad
you were able to get away.

Get away?
Yes.

Reverend Mother Placido
tells me

you are
her most active novice.

Oh.

I've been waiting so long

I'd almost
forgotten my mission.

Your aunt and uncle

asked me to look you up
on this trip,

and to give you this.

Oh, thank you,
Your Grace.

And thank them for me

and give them
my fondest regards.

If you'll excuse me.
But, Sister,

I'd like to be able
to take back

a little more than that
with me.

You must tell me
all about yourself.

Oh. Well,
there's not much to tell.

Now, now.

We mustn't be
too humble.

Sit down, please.

I-I know how pressed for time
you must be. I'll just-

I have all the time
in the world.

Please sit down, Sister.

Reverend Mother tells me

that you're very happy
in the work that you're doing.

That reminds me, I've got-

Sister, please,
sit down.

[chattering]

[Bertrille] ...despite our lack of funds,

the children
have been able to benefit

from the newest
teaching methods.

Señor Ramirez
has been so generous-

Sister Bertrille.

Uh, we must not take up
all the bishop's time.

No. You're right,
Reverend Mother. I was just-

I know that you have to go back
before they, uh...

I mean to finish
your assignment.

I'm sure that Bishop Parnell
will excuse you.

Well, I suppose I must.

[men chattering]

Here you are, Juan.
Something tall and cool.

Oh, Sister,
where have you been?

Getting you
something to drink.

Where did you go for it?
The convent?

Look at this.
[Bertrille] Wiped out, huh?

Clean.
Well, I'm sorry, Juan,

but maybe
it's for the best.

It proves
what I've been saying-

No, Sister.
Don't you see

it proves
what I've been saying?

You are my lucky charm.
Juan, that's not true.

Sister, you weren't here,
so I lost.

Don't you see now?

Wait a minute.

Why am I getting excited?

Now you're back,
I can't lose.

All right, matador.

Let's try it now
with Sister Lucky beside me.

With what, my friend?

I see no chips
in front of you.

Uh, uh,
take-take my marker.

No I.O.U.S

Are you afraid?
Me?

Afraid of you?

But you people never learn.

Well, I think you've already
taken enough of my time.

Oh, you-you see that, Sister.
He's running scared.

He knows he can't beat us.

Carlos...

Please?

Ok.

I'll take your marker.

A pencil
and a paper, please.

What will it be?

Well, since
you're in such a hurry,

let's make it
fast and easy for you.

Uh, high card.

High card it is then.

Once more.

Ok.

Wait, wait,
let me see yours.

Enough, my friend?

Juan, you don't
have to do it anymore.

Sister, just stay beside me.
Once more.

Uh, double or nothing.

Double or nothing.

[grunts]
Well,

I'm so glad
this is finally over with.

You can get this Sister Lucky
nonsense out of your head.

Sister, maybe you can get it
out of your head,

but, uh, I think
it's going to be a long time

before señor Ramirez
and I can forget about it.

What do you mean?

[Juan] What I mean is...

My marker is worthless.

Oh, no.

Carlos, I'm so sorry.
I honestly didn't-

Don't say anything.
Not a word.

Not-not-not a word.

[sighs]

I knew it.
I just knew it.

What is this?

Some new kind of charity
you want me to contribute to?

Oh, Carlos, I'm so sorry,
it's all my fault,

but if you
could just give us time-

Time?
Yeah.

600 dollars
worth of time?

What is this?
Is he asking to gamble

on Carlos Ramirez's
easy five-year lay-away plan?

No, Sister.
That's out of the question.

My lawyers
will take care of this.

Your lawyers?
Hmm.

Oh, what can they do?

Put him in jail?
He's already here.

Can they get you
your money? No.

And it'll probably end up
costing you a lot more.

Oh, Carlos, I know
what Juan did was wrong

and I guess
he knows that, too.

But you know something?

You could solve
two problems at once.

All right. Now,
how do you propose that?

Put Juan to work
in your casino.

[snickering]
In my casino?

Yes. That way he could work off
his zest for gambling

and pay off the debt
at the same time.

You know, Sister, I think
you have a point there.

Me, too.
That's the only way

I get the money he owes me.

Well, then it's set?
Let's shake on it.

[chuckles]

Maybe I'm lucky for you
after all, Juan.

Yes, Sister Lucky.
I'm very grateful to you,

but let's get
one thing straight.

There's no such thing
as luck.

It's all a question
of Mathematics.

Yeah, you can make book
on that.
