Three nuns go undercover to work for Dr. Elvis as his nurses in an inner city neighborhood.

Out of 31 movies, Elvis last one is arguably the best at passing the Bechdel test, largely because the focus is more on the nuns than Elvis' character.

The nuns are called Michelle, Irene and Barbara and they have a few conversations about life in convent vs. life in the outside world, how they feel conflicted between the two and their decisions to live in one of those two worlds.

The three talk to a teen called Desiree about an upcoming party.

Michelle talks to Miss Parker about the latter's autistic daughter Amanda. Michelle talks to her Mother Superior about Amanda too.

Two nosy neighbors called Rose and Lily regularly badmouth the nuns.
