• [Kimble is being threatened by two motorcycle punks when Sister Veronica appears] 

  Sister Veronica : A nice little highway rumble, is that it, boys? Well, that is the language, isn't it? A rumble? Roll the squares? The expressions never change, only the faces. Two great big boys bullying their way through life. And with all the noise, as far as life is concerned, you haven't even made a ripple. All you really are is afraid. Yes, afraid of life and its people. You're so afraid that when you swallow, a person can hear the click in your throat. You two and your kind are just a great big boil on the side of humanity that needs a lance. And if you spent two weeks in my school, I'd be the one to give it to you! Now you get on those overgrown bicycles and get yourselves out of here!

  [intimidated, Clete and Lossie mount their motorcycles and ride away] 

  Sister Veronica : [to Kimble]  Mr. Walker, I'm sorry you had to witness that display. One of my greatest weaknesses has always been a sinful temper.

  Dr. Richard Kimble : You're a fraud, Sister. You said you were going to renounce your vows because you couldn't communicate with people, you couldn't get through to them. Those two sure got the message.

• Sister Veronica : I shall pray for you.
