"It's so lovely and peaceful." "How can you leave it so often?" "Oh, pretending to be madly active, I suppose." "Activity suggests a life filled with purpose." "Could it be running away from memories?" "Or perhaps just searching for a reason to stay." "I hope that's why you've been coming to Vienna so often." "Were there other distractions?" "I'd hardly call you a distraction." "Well, what would you call me, Georg?" "Lovely..." "... charming,witty,graceful, the perfect hostess..." "... and,you'regoingtohate me for this..."

"Max, you really must try and learn to love yourself." "I had to call Paris, Rome and Stockholm." "On Georg's telephone, of course." "How else could I afford it?" "I like rich people, the way they live and how I live when I'm with them." "I wonder where the children are." "They must have heard I was coming and hid." "I was hoping they'd be here to welcome you." "Max, do step out of character for a moment and try and be charming." "Well?" "Well what?" "Have you made up his mind?" "Do I hear wedding bells?" "Pealing madly." "Marvelous." "Not necessarily for me." "What kind of talk's that?" "None-of-your-business talk." "I'm terribly fond of him, so don't toy with us." "But I'm a child." "I like toys." "So tell me everything." "Come on." "Tell me every teensy-weensy, intimate, disgusting detail." "Well, let's just say I have a feeling I may be here on approval." "I approve of that." "How can you miss?" "Far too easily." "If I know you, darling, and I do, you will find a way." "He's no ordinary man." "No, he's rich." "His wife's death gave him a great heartache." "And your husband's death gave you a great fortune." "Oh, Max, you really are a beast." "You and Georg are like family." "That's why I want to see you married." "We must keep all that lovely money in the family." "What are you doing there?" "Oh, Captain von Trapp." "I was just looking for... ." "I didn't see, I mean, I didn't know you were" "Heil Hitler!" "Who are you?" "I have a telegram for Herr Detweiler." "I am Herr Detweiler." "Yes, sir." "You've delivered your telegram." "Now get out." "Georg, he's just a boy." "Yes, and I'm just an Austrian." "Things will happen." "Make sure they don't happen to you." "Max!" "Don't you ever say that again." "I have no political convictions." "Can I help it if other people do?" "You can help it." "You must help it." "Hello?" "You're far away." "Where are you?" "In a world that's disappearing, I'm afraid." "Is there any way I could bring you back to the world I'm in?" "Father!" "Father!" "There's your father!" "Oh, captain, you're home!" "Come out of that water at once!" "Oh, you must be Baroness Schraeder." "I'm soaked to the skin!" "Straight line!" "This is Baroness Schraeder." "And these..." "... aremychildren." "How do you do?" "Go inside, dry off, clean up, change your clothes and report back here!" "Fräulein, you will stay here, please!"

"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."

"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."

"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'renotgoingtohave  a governess anymore." "We're not?" "No." "You're going to have a new mother." "A new mother?"

"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..." "... andyetshe'sunhappytoo."

"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."

"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..."

"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!"

"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..." "... tryingtodecideon 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..." "... butyou'vealreadygot one ."
