Delores: [to Sister Mary Robert] I noticed that you're movin' your mouth, but nothin's coming out. So I'd like to just hear you by yourself, if you don't mind. Sister Alma, can you give me an A, please?
[Sister Alma does not answer]
Delores: ALMA! [stomps her foot; Sister Alma reacts] Check your battery! Give me an A, please.
[Sister Alma gives an A; Mary Robert sings that note in a whisper]
Delores: Okay. Try this. Close your eyes. Visualize yourself in room full of people, lots of silverware, people dropping stuff, talking loud, drunks, women with trays goin' "Whattaya gonna have?!". Your voice has to carry over the din. You have to get up over all of that to be heard in the back of the room where I'm sitting, listening, straining to hear you. Okay? Keep that in your mind when we do this.
