Sound of Music

Max:
How many have I had?

Max:
Make it an uneven three.

Captain von Trapp:
Fraulein, is it to be at every meal, or merely at dinnertime, that you intend on leading us all through this rare and wonderful new world of... indigestion?

Max:
He's got to at least *pretend* to work with these people. You must convince him.

Maria:
I can't ask him to be less than he is.

The Baroness:
Somewhere out there is a lady who I think will never be a nun. Auf Wiedersehen, darling.

Captain von Trapp:
It's the dress. You'll have to put on another one before you meet the children.

Maria:
But I don't have another one. When we entered the abbey our worldly clothes were given to the poor.

Captain von Trapp:
What about this one?

Maria:
The poor didn't want this one.

Mother Abbess:
Maria, these walls were not meant to shut out problems. You have to face them. You have to live the life you were born to live.

Kurt:
I wonder what grass tastes like.

Max:
I hope you appreciate the sacrifice I'm making.

Captain von Trapp:
You have no choice.

Max:
I know... That's why I'm making it.

Captain von Trapp:
Oh, there's nothing wrong with the children. Only the governesses.

Captain von Trapp:
You have brought music back in to my life. I had forgotten.

Captain von Trapp:
I don't care to hear anything further from you about my children.

Maria:
I am not finished yet, Captain.

Captain von Trapp:
Oh, yes, you are, Captain.

Maria:
I can't seem to stop singing wherever I am. And what's worse, I can't seem to stop saying things - anything and everything I think and feel.

Mother Abbess:
Some people would call that honesty.

Maria:
Oh, but it's terrible, Reverend Mother.

Sister Margaretta:
After all, the wool from the black sheep is just as warm.

Captain von Trapp:
The first rule of this household is discipline.

Frau Schmidt:
Von Trapp children don't play. They march.

Herr Zeller:
Perhaps those who would warn you that the Anschluss is coming - and it is coming, Captain - perhaps they would get further with you by setting their words to music.

Captain von Trapp:
If the Nazis take over Austria, I have no doubt, Herr Zeller, that you will be the entire trumpet section.

Herr Zeller:
You flatter me, Captain.

Captain von Trapp:
Oh, how clumsy of me - I meant to accuse you.

Herr Zeller:
I've not asked you where you and your family are going. Nor have you asked me why I am here.

Captain von Trapp:
Well, apparently, we're both suffering from a deplorable lack of curiosity.

The Baroness:
Why didn't you tell me?

Max:
What?

The Baroness:
To bring along my harmonica.

Kurt:
Only grown-up men are scared of women.

Maria:
Kurt, how are you?

Kurt:
Hungry.

Max:
The Von Trapp Family Singers. Here your names: Leisl, Friedrich, Louisa, Brigitta, Kurt, Marta and Gretl.

Gretl:
Why am I always last?

Max:
Because you are the most important.

Maria:
Where the Lord closes a door, somewhere He opens a window.

Max:
What's going to happen's going to happen. Just make sure it doesn't happen to you.

Captain von Trapp:
Max. Don't you *ever* say that again.

Max:
You know I have no political convictions. Can I help it if other people do?

Captain von Trapp:
Oh yes, you can help it. You must help it.

Captain von Trapp:
You are the twelfth in a long line of governesses who have come here to look after my children since their mother died. I trust you will be an improvement on the last one. She stayed only two hours.

Maria:
There were times when we would look at each other, oh Mother I could hardly breathe.

Maria:
Gretl, what happened to your finger?

Gretl:
It got caught.

Maria:
Caught in what?

Gretl:
Friedrich's teeth.

Captain von Trapp:
Now, when I want you, this is what you will hear.

Maria:
Oh, no, sir, I'm sorry, sir. I could never answer to a whistle. Whistles are for dogs and cats and other animals, but not for children and definitely not for me. It would be too... humiliating.

Captain von Trapp:
Fraulein, were you this much trouble at the Abbey?

Maria:
Oh, much more, sir.

Captain von Trapp:
Hmm.

Maria:
Excuse me, sir, I don't know your signal.

Maria:
What about the Baroness?

Captain von Trapp:
There isn't going to be any Baroness. You see, you can't marry someone when you're... in love with someone else.

The Baroness:
There's nothing more irresistible to a man than a woman who's in love with him.

The Baroness:
Darling, haven't you ever heard of a delightful little thing called boarding school?

Captain von Trapp:
Fraulein Maria, did I say that bedtime is to be strictly observed in this household?

Maria:
Yes, well the children were scared of the thunderstorm and... You did, sir.

Captain von Trapp:
And do you or do you not have trouble following these simple instructions?

Maria:
Only during thunderstorms.

Gretl:
It'll be my first party, father.

Marta:
The least they could have done is to let us say hello.

Liesl:
How else are we supposed to get Father's attention?

Brigitta:
Yes.

Maria:
Well, we'll have to think about that one.

The Baroness:
You're far away. Where are you?

Captain von Trapp:
In a world that's disappearing, I'm afraid.

The Baroness:
Not too sweet, not too sour.

Max:
Just too... pink.

Liesl:
I'm Liesl. I'm sixteen years old and I don't need a governess.

Marta:
Why don't we ever get to see the baroness?

Kurt:
Why would she want to see you?

Marta:
Can we really keep the puppet show Uncle Max?

Max:
Of course. Why else do you think I sent the bill to your father?

Captain von Trapp:
Ah Max, you are funny. Expensive, but very funny.

Max:
Friedrich, Gretl, why don't you sing?

Gretl:
I can't, I've got a sore finger.

Max:
I like rich people. I like the way they live, and I like the way I live when I'm with them.

Maria:
You know how Sister Berta always makes me kiss the floor after we've had a disagreement? Well, lately I've taken to kissing the floor whenever I see her coming, just to save time.

Sister Margaretta:
Reverend Mother, I have sinned.

Sister Berthe:
I too, Reverend Mother.

Mother Abbess:
What is this sin, my children?

Kurt:
I haven't had so much fun since the day we put glue on Fräulein Josephine's toothbrush.
