Maria: Dear God, I know that you have sent me here on a mission and I pray that this will become a happy family in thy sight. God bless Liesl, and Friedrich, Louisa, Brigitta, Marta and the little Gretl – and oh yes I forgot the other boy – what’s his name? Well God bless what’s his name!
Captain: Now, you will be in charge of my children. There are seven of them. You will find out how far they have progressed in their studies and carry on from there. Each morning will be spent in the classroom. Each afternoon they march. You will see that at all times they conduct themselves with decorum and orderliness. The first rule in this house is discipline.
Max: Ladies and Gentlemen, I have here the decision of our distinguished judges. We will start with the third award. For this honor the judges have named the Trio of the Saengerbund of Herwegen. The second award goes to Fraulein Schweiger and First prize is awarded to… The Family Von Trapp…The Family Von Trapp…The Family Von Trapp.
Rolf: I could come here by mistake with a telegram for Colonel Schneider. He’s from Berlin. No one’s supposed to know he’s here…Don’t tell your Father… Your Father’s pretty Austrian… Some people think we ought to be German. They’re pretty mad at those who don’t think so. The only one I worry about is his daughter.
Liesl: I was out taking a walk and somebody locked the doors earlier than usual…And I didn’t want to wake everybody up. …So when I saw your window open…You’re not going to tell Father are you?... I told you today I didn’t need a governess. Well maybe I do.
Mother Abbess: There’s a family – a family of seven children. They need a governess until September. Captain Von Trapp expects you this afternoon. He’s a fine man and a brave one. He was given a medal for heroism in the Adriatic. You’re going to be alright…you’re not being sent to his Battleship. God Bless you Maria.
Frau Schmidt: The Captain used to love music. His wife would sing and he would play the violin or guitar. But since her death he’s shut all that out of his life…You’ll find that the Captain is very set in his ways. Now allow me to show you to your room. It’s going to rain soon so when we get there, you’d better close your window.
Kurt: No Louisa Don’t! – I like her… and Brigitta, you mustn’t say things like that! I don’t think she is ugly. If I did think so - I wouldn’t say so. (snapping to attention) I’m Kurt. I’m Eleven - almost.
Brigitta: Your face is all red. I think it is because Father is in love with you. Remember the other night when we were singing the Edelweiss song he taught us? After we finished you laughed at him for forgetting the words. He just stopped singing to look at you. And the way you looked at him just now when you were dancing. You’re in love with him too.
Audition Song: 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.
