Captain: Is it possible, or could I have just imagined? Have my children by any chance been climbing trees today?Maria: Yes, Captain.Captain: I see. And where, may I ask, did they get these, uhm, these...Maria: Playclothes.Captain: Oh, is that what you call them?Maria: I made them, from the drapes that used to hang in my bedroom...They still had plenty of wear left. The children have been everywhere in them.Captain: Do you mean to tell me that my children have been roaming about Salzburg dressed up in nothing but some old drapes?!Maria: Umm, hmm, and having a marvelous time.Captain: They have uniforms.Maria: Straitjackets, if you'll forgive me.Captain: I will not forgive you for that.Maria: Children can't do all the things they're supposed to if they have to worry about spoiling their precious clothes.Captain: They haven't complained yet.Maria: Well, they wouldn't dare! They love you too much. They fear you too much!Captain: I don't wish you to discuss my children in this manner.Maria: Well, you've got to hear from someone! You're never home long enough to know them.Captain: I said I don't want to hear anymore from you about my children!Maria: I know you don't, but you've got to! Now, take Liesl.Captain: [hesitatingly] You will not say one word about Liesl, Fraulein.Maria: She's not a child anymore, and one of these days, you're going to wake up and find that she's a woman. You won't even know her. And Friedrich, he's a boy, but he wants to be a man and there's no one to show him how.Captain: Don't you dare tell me about my son.Maria: Brigitta could tell you about him if you let her get close to you. She notices everything.Captain: Fraulein...Maria: And Kurt pretends he's tough not to show how hurt he is when you brush him aside...Captain: That will do!Maria: ...the way you do all of them. Louisa I don't even know about yet...Captain: I said that will do!Maria: But somebody has to find out about her, and the little ones just want to be loved. Oh, please, Captain, love them! Love them all!Captain: I don't care to hear anything further from you about my children.Maria: I'm not finished with you!Captain: Oh, yes, you are, Captain! [pauses, then corrects himself] Fraulein!
