"I don't know my children." "There's still time, captain." "They want so much to be close to you." "And you brought music back into the house." "I'd forgotten." "Fräulein." "I want you to stay." "I ask you to stay." "If I could be of any help." "You have already." "More than you know." "Marta." "Curtain!"

"Bravo!" "Very good!" "Wonderful!" "Can we keep the puppets, Uncle Max?" "Yes, can we?" "Of course you may, my darlings." "Why else did I tell Professor Kohner to send the bill to your father?" "Well done, fräulein." "I really am very much impressed." "They're your children, captain." "My dear, is there anything you can't do?" "Well, I'm not sure I'll make a good nun." "If you have any problems, I'd be happy to help you." "Attention, everyone!" "I have an announcement to make." "Surprise!" "Surprise!" "Today, after a long and desperate search I have found a most exciting entry for the Salzburg Folk Festival." "Congratulations, Max." "And who will you be exploiting this time?" "The Saint Ignatius Choir?" "Guess again." "Well, let me see now." "The Klopmann Choir?" "No, no, no, no." "No, no?" "Tell us." "A singing group all in one family." "You'll never guess, Georg." "What a charming idea!" "Whose family?" "Yours." "They'll be the talk of the festival." "Well, now, what's so funny?" "You are, Max." "You're expensive, but very funny." "They'll be a sensation!" "No, Max." "It's a wonderful idea." "Fresh, original." "Max!" "My children do not sing in public." "You can't blame me for trying." "Children, who shall we hear from next?" "Who?" "Yes." "The vote is unanimous." "You, captain." "Me?" "I don't understand." "Please." "No, no, no, no." "I'm told that you were quite good." "That was a very, very long time ago." "I remember, Father."

"It's high time I met all your friends and they met me." "Don't you agree?" "I see what you mean." "Oh, please!" "Children, it's bedtime." "Come now, say good night." "Good night, Father."

"Good evening, Herr Zeller." "Baroness." "How do you do?" "Good evening." "Did you notice the obvious display of the Austrian flag?" "The women look so beautiful." "I think they look ugly." "You're just scared of them." "Silly, only grown-up men fear women." "I think the men look beautiful." "How would you know?" "Liesl, who are you dancing with?" "Nobody." "Oh, yes, you are." "May I have this dance?" "I'd be delighted, young man." "Why didn't you tell me you could dance?" "We feared you'd make us all dance." "The von Trapp Family Dancers." "What are they playing?" "It's the Laendler." "An Austrian folk dance." "Show me." "I haven't danced since I was little." "You remember." "Please?" "Well...." "Please." "All right." "Come on over here." "Now you bow and I curtsy." "Like this?" "Fine." "Now we go for a little walk." "One, two, three." "One, two, three." "One, two, three, step together." "Now, step hop, step hop." "Now turn under." "Not quite." "This way." "Hop step, hop." "And under." "Kurt, we'll have to practice." "Do allow me, will you?" "I don't remember anymore." "Your face is all red." "Is it?" "I don't suppose I'm used to dancing." "Why, that was beautifully done." "What a lovely couple you make." "It's time the children said good night." "We'll be in the hall." "We have something special prepared." "Right!" "Yes, come on!" "All that needless worrying, Georg." "You thought you wouldn't find a friend at the party." "A bit chilly out tonight, isn't it?" "Oh, I don't know." "It seemed rather warm to me." "Ladies and gentlemen." "The children of Captain von Trapp wish to say good night to you."

"What they'd do at the festival." "Young lady, I must have a word with you." "Georg, you won't let this girl get away." "She must join the party." "No, really I" "Stop." "Stop it now." "Georg, please." "You can if you want to, fräulein." "I insist." "You will be my dinner partner." "This is business." "Franz set another place next to mine for Fräulein Maria." "Whatever you say." "It appears to be all arranged." "It does." "I'm not suitably dressed." "You can change." "We'll wait." "Captain, you must be very proud of your youngsters." "I am, thank you." "Is there a more beautiful expression of what is good in our country than the innocent voices of our children?" "Oh, come now, baron." "Would you have us believe that Austria holds a monopoly on virtue?" "Herr Zeller, some of us prefer Austrian voices raised in song to ugly German threats." "The ostrich buries his head in the sand and sometimes in the flag." "Perhaps those who would warn you that the Anschluss is coming, and it is would get further with you by setting their words to music." "If the Nazis take over Austria, you will be the entire trumpet section." "You flatter me." "Oh, how clumsy of me." "I meant to accuse you." "It's very kind of you to offer to help me, baroness." "I'm delighted, Maria." "I really don't think I have anything that would be appropriate." "Now where is that lovely little thing you were wearing the other evening?" "When the captain couldn't keep his eyes off you." "Couldn't keep his eyes off me?" "Come, my dear, we are women." "Let's not pretend we don't know when a man notices us." "Here we are." "The captain notices everybody." "There's no need to feel so defensive, Maria." "You are quite attractive, you know." "The captain would hardly be a man if he didn't notice you." "Baroness, I hope you're joking." "Not at all." "I've never done a thing to" "You don't have to, my dear." "Nothing's more irresistible to a man than a woman who's in love with him." "In love with him?" "Of course." "What makes it so nice is he thinks he's in love with you." "But that's not true." "Surely you've noticed the way he looks into your eyes." "And you know, you blushed in his arms when you were dancing just now." "Don't take it to heart." "He'll get over it soon enough, I think." "Men do, you know." "Then I should go." "I mustn't stay here." "Is there something I can do to help?" "No, nothing." "Yes." "Don't say a word to the captain." "No, I wouldn't dream of it." "Goodbye, Maria." "I'm sure you'll make a very fine nun." "Champagne, darling." "I feel like celebrating." "Cheers." "You know something." "Perhaps." "If you're so clever, tell me how to get fräulein to influence Georg." "I want those children in the festival." "Elsa, this is important to Austria." "Wouldn't do you any harm either." "I thought of that." "Well, if it's a matter of influence maybe the one you have to be talking to is me." "Two." "Three." "Four." "Five." "Six." "Seven." "Eight." "Four." "Two." "Seven." "Five." "Two." "Six." "Isn't this fun?" "Four." "I'm number five." "Oh, yes." "Eight." "Two." "Four." "Six." "Two." "Baroness Schraeder, do you mind if we stop now?" "We're tired." "Whatever you want, dear." "We'll do it again tomorrow." "The country's so restful, isn't it?" "Have some lemonade." "There must be an easier way." "I get a fiendish delight thinking of you as the mother of seven." "How do you plan to do it?" "Darling, haven't you ever heard of a delightful little thing called boarding school?" "Baroness Machiavelli." "Uncle Max, where's Father?" "I think he's in the house." "What's the matter with all you gloomy pussies?" "Nothing." "I know." "Let's have a rehearsal." "What for?" "Let's make believe we're on-stage at the festival." "I don't feel like singing." "Not without Fräulein Maria." "Liesl, get the guitar." "Come on, Marta." "Everybody into the group." "Get in your places." "Now be cheerful, right?" "Give us the key, Liesl." "Now, impress me." "Gretl, why don't you sing?" "I can't." "I've got a sore finger." "But you sang so beautifully the night of the party." "Come on, all of you." "Try something you know." "Enjoy it." "Be cheerful." "All right, Liesl." "The hills are alive" "With the sound of music" "With songs they have sung" "For a thousand years" "The hills fill my heart" "With the sound of music" "They wanted to sing for me, bless their hearts." "That's lovely, lovely." "Don't stop." "Something long and cool, Georg?" "No, thank you, darling." "Father?" "Yes, Brigitta?" "Is it true Fräulein Maria isn't coming back?" "Yes, I suppose it's true." "What have we got here?" "Pink lemonade." "Laced with lemonade." "I don't believe it, Father." "What?" "About Fräulein Maria." "Oh, Fräulein Maria!" "Didn't I tell you what her note said?" "I'm sure I did." "She said she missed her life at the abbey." "She had to leave us." "And that's all there is to it." "I think I'm brave enough to try some of that." "She didn't even say goodbye." "She did in her note." "That isn't the same thing." "Not too sweet, not too sour." "Just too pink." "Father, who is our new governess going to be?" "Well you're not going to have a governess anymore." "We're not?" "No." "You're going to have a new mother." "A new mother?" "We talked about it last night." "It's all settled." "And we're all going to be very happy." "Well, all right, all right." "Run off and play." "Yes, my children?" "My name is Liesl." "Yes, Liesl?" "We, my brothers and sisters, want to see Fräulein Maria." "Fräulein Maria?" "Oh, Maria." "Come in, please." "Wait here." "I'm Sister Margaretta." "I understand you inquired about Maria." "We have to see her." "Will you tell her we're here?" "I'm afraid I can't do that." "But you've got to!" "She's our governess." "We want her back." "She didn't even say goodbye." "All we want to do is talk to her." "I'm very sorry, but Maria is in seclusion." "She hasn't been seeing anyone." "She'll see us." "I want to show her my finger." "Some other time, dear." "I'll tell her you were here." "It was sweet of you to call." "We have to speak to her!" "Run along, children." "Run along home." "I'm sure she'd like to see us." "Sister Margaretta, please." "Goodbye, children." "Sister Margaretta, may we, please?" "What was that about, Sister?" "The von Trapp children, Reverend Mother." "They want to see Maria." "Has she spoken yet?" "Has she told you anything?" "She doesn't say a word, Reverend Mother, except in prayer." "Poor child." "It's strange." "She seems happy to be back here and yet she's unhappy too." "Perhaps I have been wrong in leaving her alone so long." "Bring her to me, even if she's not yet ready." "Yes, Reverend Mother." "Sister Augusta, take our new postulant to the robing room." "God bless you, my daughter." "Yes, bring her in." "You've been unhappy." "I'm sorry." "Reverend Mother." "Why did they send you back to us?" "They didn't send me back." "I left." "Sit down, Maria." "Tell me what happened." "I was frightened." "Frightened?" "Were they unkind to you." "Oh, no!" "No, I was confused." "I felt...." "I've never felt that way before." "I couldn't stay." "I knew that here I'd be away from it." "I'd be safe." "Maria, our abbey is not to be used as an escape." "What is it you can't face?" "I can't face him again." "Him?" "Thank you, Sister Margaretta." "Captain von Trapp?" "Are you in love with him?" "I don't know!" "I don't know." "I" "The baroness said I was." "She said that he was in love with me." "But I didn't want to believe it." "There were times we looked at each other." "I could hardly breathe." "Did you let him see your feelings?" "I don't know." "That's what's torturing me." "I was on God's errand." "To have asked for his love would have been wrong." "I just couldn't stay." "I'm ready at this moment to take my vows." "Please help me." "Maria." "The love of a man and a woman is holy." "You have a great capacity to love." "You must find out how God wants you to spend your love." "But I pledged my life to God." "I pledged my life to his service." "My daughter, if you love this man, it doesn't mean you love God less." "No." "You must find out." "You must go back." "You can't ask me to do that." "Please let me stay." "I beg" "Maria." "These walls were not built to shut out problems." "You have to face them." "You have to live the life you were born to live." "Climb every mountain" "Search high and low" "Follow every byway" "Every path you know" "Climb every mountain" "Ford every stream" "Follow every rainbow" "Till you find your dream" "A dream that will need" "All the love you can give" "Every day of your life" "For as long as you live" "Climb every mountain" "Ford every stream" "Follow every rainbow" "Till you find your dream" "A dream that will need" "All the love you can give" "Every day of your life" "For as long as you live" "Climb every mountain" "Ford every stream" "Follow every rainbow" "Till you find  your dream" "Now, it's not like my children to be secretive." "We're not being secretive, Father." "And it's not like my children to be late for dinner." "We lost track of the time." "I see." "Who's going to be the first one to tell me the truth?" "Friedrich." "Brigitta." "Liesl." "Where do you think we were, Father?" "If you don't believe us, you must have some idea of where you think we were." "Marta." "Yes, Father." "You tell me." "Friedrich told you, Father." "We were berry picking." "I forgot!" "You were berry picking." "Yes, we love berry picking." "All afternoon?" "We picked thousands." "Thousands?" "They were all over the place." "What kind of berries?" "Blueberries, sir." "Blueberries." "It's too early for blueberries." "They were strawberries." "Strawberries?" "It's been so cold lately, they turned blue." "Very well." "Show me the berries." "We...." "Well...." "Show me the berries you picked." "We don't have them." "You don't have them?" "What happened to them?" "We...." "We ate them." "You ate them?" "Yes!" "They were so good." "Delicious." "Very well." "Since you've obviously stuffed yourselves on thousands of berries you can't be hungry anymore, so I'll have to tell Frau Schmidt to skip your dinner." "It's your fault." "We should have told him the truth." "And made him boiling mad at us?" "It's better than starving to death." "We didn't do anything wrong." "We just wanted to see her." "My stomach's making noises." "The least they could have done was to let us say hello." "I wonder what grass tastes like." "I feel awful." "When Fräulein Maria wanted to feel better she used to sing that song." "Let's try it." "Raindrops on roses" "And whiskers on kittens" "Bright copper kettles" "And warm woolen mittens" "Brown paper packages Tied up with strings" "These are a few of my favorite things" "Why don't I feel better?" "Girls in white dresses" "With blue satin sashes" "Snowflakes that stay On my nose and eyelashes" "Silver white winters..." "Fräulein Maria's back!" "... that melt into springs" "These are a few of my favorite things" "When the dog bites When the bee stings" "When I'm feeling sad" "I simply remember my favorite things" "And then I don 't feel" "So bad" "Children, I'm so glad to see you." "We missed you." "I missed you." "Kurt, how are you?" "Hungry." "What happened to your finger?" "It got caught." "Caught in what?" "Friedrich's teeth." "Liesl, you all right?" "Just fair." "Any telegrams been delivered lately?" "None at all." "But I'm learning to accept it." "I'll be glad when school begins." "Liesl, you can't use school to escape your problems." "You have to face them." "I have so much to tell you." "We have things to tell you too." "The most important thing is that Father is going to be married." "Married?" "Yes, to Baroness Schraeder." "Oh, I see." "Father, look!" "Fräulein Maria's back!" "Fräulein Maria's back from the abbey." "Good evening, captain." "Good evening." "Everyone inside for dinner." "Dinner!" "You left without saying goodbye." "Even to the children." "It was wrong of me." "Forgive me." "Why did you?" "Please don't ask me." "The reason no longer exists." "Fräulein Maria, you've returned." "Isn't it wonderful, Georg?" "I wish you every happiness, baroness." "You too, captain." "The children say you're to marry." "Thank you, my dear." "You are back to stay?" "Only until arrangements can be made for another governess." "There you are." "I must speak to cook about the schnitzel." "It is entirely too delicious for my figure." "And it makes you much too quiet at the dinner table." "Or was it the wine?" "Undoubtedly the wine." "You have no idea the trouble I'm having trying to decide on a wedding present for you." "Oh, I know." "I'm enough." "But I do want you to have some little trifle for the occasion." "At first I thought of a fountain pen but you've already got one." "Then I thought perhaps a villa in the south of France but they are so difficult to gift-wrap." "Oh, Georg, how do you feel about yachts?" "A long, sleek one for the Mediterranean or a tiny one for your bathtub, huh?" "Elsa." "Where to go on our honeymoon?" "Now, that's a real problem." "A trip around the world would be lovely." "And then I said:" ""Oh, Elsa, there must be someplace better to go. "" "But don't worry, darling, I'll" "Elsa." "Yes, Georg." "It's no use you and I." "I'm being dishonest to both of us and utterly unfair to you." "When two people talk of marriage" "No, don't." "Don't say another word, please." "You see, there are other things I've been thinking of." "Fond as I am of you, I really don't think you're the right man for me." "You're much too independent." "And I need someone who needs me desperately or at least needs my money desperately." "I've enjoyed every moment we've had together and I do thank you for that." "Now, if you'll forgive me I'll go inside, pack my little bags and return to Vienna where I belong." "And somewhere out there is a young lady who, I think will never be a nun." "Auf Wiedersehen, darling." "Hello." "I thought I just might find you here." "Was there something you wanted?" "No, no, no." "Sit down, please." "Please." "May I?" "You know, I was thinking and I was wondering two things:" "Why did you run away to the abbey?" "And what was it that made you come back?" "Well, I had an obligation to fulfill and I came back to fulfill it." "Is that all?" "And I missed the children." "Yes." "Only the children?" "No." "Yes." "Isn't it right that I missed them?" "Oh, yes." "Yes, of course." "I was only hoping that perhaps you...." "Perhaps you might...." "Yes?" "Well, nothing was the same when you were away and it'll be all wrong again after you leave and I just thought perhaps you might change your mind." "Well, I'm sure the baroness will be able to make things fine for you." "Maria...." "There isn't going to be any baroness." "There isn't?" "No." "I don't understand." "Well, we've called off our engagement, you see, and" "Oh, I'm sorry." "Yes." "You are?" "You did?" "Yes." "Well, you can't marry someone when you're in love with someone else can you?" "The Reverend Mother always says:" ""When the Lord closes a door, somewhere He opens a window. "" "What else does the Reverend Mother say?" "That you have to look for your life." "Is that why you came back?" "And have you found it Maria?" "I think I have." "I know I have." "I love you." "Oh, can this be happening to me?" "Perhaps I had a wicked childhood" "Perhaps I had a miserable youth" "But somewhere ln my wicked, miserable past" "There must have been a moment of truth" "For here you are Standing there loving me" "Whether or not you should" "So somewhere in my youth or childhood" "I must have done something good" "Nothing comes from nothing" "Nothing ever could" "So somewhere in my youth or childhood" "I must have done something good" "Do you know when I first started loving you?" "That night at dinner, when you sat on that ridiculous pine cone." "What?" "I knew the first time you blew that silly whistle." "Oh, my love." "For here you are Standing there loving me" "Whether or not you should" "So somewhere in my youth or childhood" "I must have done something good" "Nothing comes from nothing" "Nothing ever could" "So somewhere in my youth or childhood" "I must have done something" "Something good" "Maria." "Is there anyone I should go to, to ask permission to marry you?" "Why don't we ask" "The children?" "How do you solve a problem like Maria?" "How do you catch a cloud And pin it down?" "How do you find a word That means Maria?" "A flibbertigibbet" "A will-o '-the-wisp A clown" "Many a thing you know You'd like to tell her" "Many a thing she ought to understand" "But how do you make her stay And listen to all you say?" "How do you keep a wave upon the sand?" "Oh, how do you solve A problem like Maria?" "How do you hold a moonbeam ln your hand?" "Herr Detweiler!" "Heil Hitler." "Oh, good afternoon, Herr Zeller." "Perhaps you've not heard." "I am now the Gauleiter." "Heil Hitler." "Heil Hitler." "I've come from Captain von Trapp's house." "The only one in the area not flying the Third Reich flag since the Anschluss." "But we have dealt with that." "I don't" "The housekeeper told me that I would find you here." "The only thing she'd tell me." "What kind of information are you looking for?" "When will the captain return?" "Well, he's on his honeymoon trip." "He's not been in touch with us." "Am I to believe he hasn't communicated with his children in over a month?" "How many men do you know who communicate with their children while honeymooning?" "Upon his return, he'll fill his proper position in the new order." "Naturally." "And may I congratulate you and your people in allowing the festival to go on tonight as planned." "Why should it not go on?" "Nothing in Austria has changed." "Singing and music will show this to the world." "Austria is the same." "Heil Hitler." "Heil Hitler." "Come, let's go home." "Why was he so cross?" "Everybody's cross these days." "Maybe the flag with the black spider makes people nervous." "Will Father be in trouble?" "He doesn't have to be." "The thing to do is to get along with everybody." "Remember that tonight at the concert." "Are we really going to sing before a lot of people?" "Look." "The von Trapp Family Singers:" "Liesl, Friedrich, Louisa, Brigitta, Kurt, Marta and Gretl." "Why am I always last?" "Because you are the most important." "There we go." "Are you sure Father will approve of our singing in public?" "He'll be pleased and proud." "Liesl, do you think so?" "Don't you trust me?" "No." "You're a very intelligent girl." "Liesl." "Liesl!" "Rolf!" "I'm so glad to see you." "It's been su" "Good afternoon." "Give this to your father as soon as he's home." "He's on his honeymoon." "I know." "You do?" "We make it our business to know all." "Who's "we"?" "See that he gets it." "What is it?" "It's a telegram from Berlin." "Don't you want to deliver it yourself?" "I'm occupied with more important matters." "And your father had better be too." "But, Rolf!" "Father!" "We didn't expect you so soon." "Hello, hello!" "We didn't expect you home until next week!" "Did you bring souvenirs from Paris?" "Hello!" "How are you?" "Why didn't you call us?" "We couldn't get through." "I had nothing to do with that." "We came back as fast as we could." "Well, well, well!" "We missed you!" "We missed you!" "We missed kissing you." "We missed all the noise in the morning." "Mostly, we missed hearing you sing." "Oh, you came back just in time." "Look, Fräulein Maria" "I mean Mother." "We're going to sing in the festival tonight." "We've been having a lovely time!" "We've been rehearsing all" "Surprise!" "Surprise!" "Surprises for you on the terrace." "We'll talk about this." "I would've told you but you were away." "I had to make a last-minute decision." "I was fortunate to enter them at all." "They'll be the talk of the festival." "Imagine, seven children in one family!" "Max!" "Somehow I recall having made it quite clear to you how I feel about my family singing in public!" "The committee was enchanted." "What did they say?" "I have never heard such enthusiasm." "Don't you think just this once--?" "Absolutely out of the question." "Georg, this is for Austria." "For Austria?" "There is no Austria!" "But the Anschluss was peaceful." "Let's at least be grateful for that." "Grateful?" "You know, Max sometimes I don't believe I know you." "Father, I forgot." "This is for you." "Maria, he has got to at least pretend to work with these people." "You must convince him." "Max, I can't ask him to be less than he is." "Then I'll talk to him." "If the children don't sing, well it will be a reflection on Austria." "Oh, I know." "It wouldn't do me any good either." "Mother?" "That sounds so nice." "I like calling you "Mother. "" "I like hearing it." "You love Father very much." "I can tell you do." "Very much." "Mother, what do you do when you think you love someone?" "I mean, when you stop loving someone or he stops loving you?" "Well, you cry a little." "Then you wait for the sun to come out." "It always does." "There are so many things I think I should know but I don't." "I really don't." "How can you?" "Sometimes I feel the world is ending." "Then you feel it's just beginning?" "Yes!" "It was that way with me." "And for you it will be just as wonderful." "Do you really think so?" "When you're 16 going on 17" "Waiting for life to start" "Somebody kind Who touches your mind" "Will suddenly touch your heart" "When that happens" "After it happens" "Nothing is quite the same" "Somehow I know" "I'll jump up and go" "If ever he calls my name" "Gone are your old ideas of life" "The old ideas grow dim" "Lo and behold You're someone's wife" "And you belong to him" "You may think this kind of adventure" "Never may come to you" "Darling, 16 going on 17" "Wait a year..." "I'll wait a year -...or two" "Just wait a year or two" "Liesl." "What is it?" "Berlin." "They've offered me a commission." "I've been requested to accept immediately and report to their naval base at Bremerhaven tomorrow." "I knew this would happen." "I didn't think it would be so soon." "To refuse them would be fatal for all of us." "And joining them would be unthinkable." "Get the children all together." "Don't say anything to worry them." "Just get them ready." "We've got to get out of Austria and this house tonight." "This strains my back and breaks my heart when I think of the children missing the festival." "By your announcement we'll be over the border." "Do you appreciate the sacrifice I'm making?" "You have no choice." "I know." "That's why I'm making it." "Why doesn't Father turn the motor on?" "Because he doesn't want anyone to hear us." "What will Frau Schmidt and Franz say?" "They'll be able to answer honestly they didn't know anything." "Will we be coming back here?" "Someday, Liesl." "I do hope someday." "Are Father and Uncle Max going to push the car all the way to Switzerland?" "Something wrong with your car, captain?" "Yes, we couldn't get it started." "Karl." "Fix Captain von Trapp's car so that it will start." "Excellent, Karl." "I've not asked you where you and your family are going." "Nor have you asked me why I'm here." "Apparently we both suffer from a deplorable lack of curiosity." "You never answered the telegram from the Admiral of the Navy of the Third Reich." "I was under the impression, Herr Zeller that the contents of telegrams in Austria are private!" "At least, the Austria I know." "I have my orders to take you to Bremerhaven tonight where you will accept your commission." "I'm afraid that's going to be quite impossible." "You see, we all of us, the entire family, will be singing in the festival tonight." "As a matter of fact, we're going now." "We couldn't possibly let them down now." "I just hope we're not too late." "Yes." "You ask me to believe that you, Captain von Trapp are singing in a concert?" "Believe me, it will be a performance beyond anything even I've dreamt of." "Like you, Herr Zeller, I, too, am a man of hidden talents." "Yes." "Here, program." "It says only the names of the children." "It says the von Trapp Family Singers and I am the head of the von Trapp family, am I not?" "And these travel clothes that you're all wearing?" "Our costumes, naturally." "This night air is not good for the children's voices." "Well, a slight delay in my orders will not be serious." "Therefore you will sing." "You will all sing." "But only because that's what I want." "It will demonstrate that nothing in Austria has changed." "And when you have finished singing you, Captain von Trapp, will be taken to Bremerhaven." "Now, if you will all get into your car we will escort the von Trapp Family Singers to the festival." "No escort will be necessary." "Necessary?" "A pleasure, captain." "After all, we would not want you to get lost in the crowds." "Would we?" "No." "Sew, a needle pulling thread" "La, a note to follow sew" "Tea, a drink with jam and bread" "A drink with jam and bread" "Tea with jam Jam and bread" "With jam" "A, B, C" "With jam" "Do-re-mi" "Tea with jam and bread" "With jam and bread" "With jam With jam and bread" "My fellow Austrians I shall not be seeing you again, perhaps for a very long time." "I would like to sing for you now a love song." "I know you share this love." "I pray that you will never let it die." "Edelweiss" "Edelweiss" "Every morning you greet me" "Small and white" "Clean and bright" "You look happy to meet me" "Blossom of snow" "May you bloom and grow" "Bloom and grow forever" "Edelweiss" "Edelweiss" "Bless my homeland forever" "Edelweiss" "Edel...." "Small and white" "Clean and bright" "You look happy to meet me" "Blossom of snow" "May you bloom and grow" "Bloom and grow forever" "Edelweiss" "Edelweiss" "Bless my homeland forever" "I think it'll work." "I shall miss all of you." "I shall miss the money I could have made with you." "Thank you, ladies and gentlemen." "The competition has come to its conclusion except, we don't know yet what that conclusion will be." "And while the judges arrive at their decision I have been given permission to offer you an encore." "This will be the last opportunity the von Trapps will have of singing together for a long, long time." "Even now, officials are waiting in this auditorium to escort Captain von Trapp to his new command in the naval forces of the Third Reich." "And so, ladies and gentlemen, the family von Trapp again to bid you farewell." "There's a sad sort of clanging From the clock in the hall" "And the bells in the steeple too" "And up in the nursery An absurd little bird" "Is popping out to say "coo-coo"" "Coo-coo" "Coo-coo" "Regretfully they tell us" "But firmly they compel us" "To say goodbye" "To you" "So long, farewell Auf Wiedersehen, good night" "We hate to go And miss this pretty sight" "So long, farewell Auf Wiedersehen, adieu" "Adieu, adieu To you and you and you" "So long, farewell Auf Wiedersehen, goodbye" "We flit, we float" "We fleetly flee, we fly" "So long, farewell Auf Wiedersehen, goodbye" "The sun has gone to bed And so must I" "Goodbye" "Goodbye" "Goodbye" "Goodbye" "Ladies and gentlemen, I have here the decision of our distinguished judges." "We will start with the award for third prize." "For this honor, the judges have named the first soloist of the choir of St. Agatha's Church in Murback." "Fräulein Schweiger." "Second prize to The Toby Reiser Quintet." "And the first prize, the highest honor in all Austria the von Trapp Family Singers." "The family von Trapp." "They're gone!" "Come with me." "Quickly, quickly." "I have a place you can hide." "Slowly, slowly." "Open this gate." "Good evening." "Hurry up, woman." "Two men in there." "Six of you cover the yard." "You two, cover the corridor." "Reverend Mother, we didn't realize we put the abbey in this danger." "No, Maria, it was right for you to come here." "We thought we might borrow your car." "I'm afraid our car will do you no good now." "I've been listening to the wires." "The borders have just been closed." "All right, if the borders are closed then we'll drive up into the hills and go over the mountains on foot." "The children" "We'll help them." "We can do it without help, Father." "Maria." "You will not be alone." "Remember:" ""I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help. "" "Yes, Mother." "I'm scared." "Me too." "God be with you." "Mother." "Yes?" "Would it help if we sang about our favorite things?" "No, darling." "This is one time it would not help." "You must be very quiet." "Hold tight to me." "Let's try the roof." "Rolf, please." "No, wait." "Maria." "Children." "It's you we want, not them." "Put that down." "Not another move, or I'll shoot." "You're only a boy." "You don't really belong to them." "Stay where you are." "Come away with us." "Before it's too late." "Not another step." "I'll kill you." "You give that to me, Rolf." "Did you hear me?" "I'll kill you." "Rolf." "You'll never be one of them." "Lieutenant!" "They're here!" "They're here, lieutenant!" "Reverend Mother." "I have sinned." "I too, Reverend Mother." "What is this sin, my children?"
