Pam Ferris: Sister Evangelina

Quotes 

• [Sister Evangelina is trying to break the ice with a difficult patient who hit her when she tried take a blood sample] 

  Sister Evangelina : [writing in her notebook]  "Patient demonstrated strong right hook". Right, you awkward old biddy. See what you make of this...

  [Sister Evangelina farts loudly] 

  Sister Evangelina : And if that doesn't impress you, I can do it again in a different key.

  [Sister Evangelina farts again, this time producing a lower note] 

  Sister Evangelina : Catch it, Nurse Lee. It's heading for the door.

  Mrs. Jenkins : Cat's got it now. It's underneath the chair.

  Sister Evangelina : "Where'er you be, Let your wind go free".

  Mrs. Jenkins : "In church and chapel, Let it rattle".

  Sister Evangelina : Good thing there's no naked flames about.

  [they both chuckle] 

• Sister Monica Joan : The past remains the past. The present unamended.

  Sister Evangelina : Sister Monica Joan is right. It's what happens in the here and now that counts. Will it matter one day where baby Raymond was found, blue with cold and wrapped in a pillowcase? No, because that will be his past. And his present will be safe and filled with love.
