1. 90 pounds
   120 pounds
2. 150 pounds

The Reverend Mother thinks Sister Bertrille is too spirited for San Tanco, and considers having her transferred to Rome.

1. water
   sea grape juice

To raise money for the convent, the sisters develop a concoction called the Nectar of San Tanco -- which is really juice made from sea grapes.

After she learns that the citizens of two villages have been feuding over which village is the real Santa Thomasina, Sister Bertrille threatens to split the statue of the matron saint in half if they can't settle their differences.

2. Sister Sixto

Sister Bertrille finds herself stranded on a desert island after crash landing in a storm. The bad news is that her cornette gets wet and torn, so she can't take off.

   Wally and the Wallflowers

When Sister Bertrille is terrified of the dentist, she gets hypnotized to ease her fears.

1. Sister Sixto

   she wants to get married
2. she wants to go to Chicago

1. she loved the part
   it paid really well

1. true
2. false

It's bad enough that producers had to deal with a pregnant nun -- much less one who could fly! Field got married in 1968 and found herself pregnant by season three of the show. Producers used clever disguises and long shots to hide her baby bump and film stunt doubles flying so Field could stay safely on the ground.
