The Sound of Music1965

Baron:
Is there a more beautiful expression of what is good in this country of ours than the innocent voices of our children?

Zeller:
Oh, come now, Baron, would you have us believe that Austria alone holds a monopoly on virtue?

Captain:
Herr Zeller, some of us prefer Austrian voices raised in song to ugly German threats.

Zeller:
The ostrich buries his head in the sand, and sometimes in the flag. [He turns toward the Austrian flag, prominently displayed] 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:
If the Nazis take over Austria, I have no doubt, Herr Zeller, that you will be the entire trumpet section.

Zeller:
You flatter me, Captain.

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