I think we should be very pleased with our efforts.

Out of 28 postulants, 16 or 17 are ready to enter the novitiate.

Let's go over the doubtful ones again.

There's...there's Irmagard...

Reverend Mother, there's no doubt about Irmagard.

The religious life is no place for the pious.

You mean the pretentiously pious, Sister Berthe.

— Yes. — Yes.

There's Christina...and there's Maria.

Well, after last night, I don't think there can be any doubt

in the Reverend Mother's mind about Maria.

I gave Maria permission to leave the Abbey for the day.

I told you, Sister Berthe...

— Reverend Mother... — Yes?

I've brought Maria. She's waiting.

Sister Sofia, the Mistress of the Postulants

and the Mistress of the Novitiate

don't quite see eye to eye on Maria.

What do you think of her?

I love her very dearly.

But she always seems to be in trouble, doesn't she?

Exactly what I say!

♪ She climbs a tree and scrapes her knee

♪ Her dress has got a tear

♪ She waltzes on her way to mass

♪ And whistles on the stair

♪ And underneath her wimple

♪ She has curlers in her hair

♪ I've even heard her singing in the abbey!

♪ She's always late for chapel

♪ But her penitence is real

♪ She's always late for everything except for every meal

♪ I hate to have to say it but I very firmly feel

♪ Maria's not an asset to the abbey

♪ I'd like to say a word in her behalf. ♪

Then say it, Sister Margaretta.

♪ Maria...makes me...laugh!

♪ How do you solve a problem like Maria?

♪ How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?

♪ How do you find a word that means Maria?

— ♪ A flibbertigibbet! — ♪ A will-o'-the-wisp!

♪ A clown!

♪ Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her

♪ Many a thing she ought to understand

♪ But how do you make her stay and listen to all you say?

♪ How do you keep a wave upon the sand?

♪ Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria?

♪ How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?

♪ When I'm with her I'm confused

♪ Out of focus and bemused

♪ And I never know exactly where I am

♪ Unpredictable as weather, she's as flighty as a feather

♪ She's a darling!

♪ She's a demon!

♪ She's a lamb!

♪ She'll out-pester any pest

♪ Drive a hornet from his nest

♪ She could throw a whirling dervish out of whirl

♪ She is gentle, she is wild

♪ She's a riddle, she's a child ♪ She's a headache!

♪ She's an angel

♪ She's a girl

♪ How do you solve a problem like Maria?

♪ How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?

♪ How do you find a word that means Maria?

♪ A flibbertigibbet!

—♪ A will-o'-the-wisp! —♪ A clown!

♪ Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her

♪ Many a thing she ought to understand

♪ But how do you make her stay?

♪ And listen to all you say?

♪ How do you keep a wave upon the sand?

♪ Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria?

♪ How do you hold a moonbeam

♪ In your hand? ♪

Reverend Mother, may I just...

Now, my children, I think I should speak to Maria

instead of about her.

I am grateful to you all.

(ORGAN PLAYING)

Sit down, Maria, I...I want to speak with you.

Yes. About last night.

Reverend Mother, I was on my knees most of the night

because I was late,

and after you'd been so kind and given me permission to leave.

It's not about your being late, Maria.

I must have awakened half the Abbey

before Sister Sofia heard me and opened the gate.

Maria, very few of us were asleep.

We could only think that you had lost your way.

And to be lost at night on that mountain!

Reverend Mother, I couldn't be lost on that mountain.

That's my mountain.

I was brought up on it!

It was that mountain that brought me to you.

Oh?

When I was a little girl, I used to come down the mountain,

climb a tree and look over into your garden.

I'd see the sisters at work,

and I'd hear them sing on their way to vespers.

Many times I went back up that mountain in the dark,

singing all the way.

And that brings up another transgression.

I was singing yesterday, and I was singing without your permission.

Maria, it's only here in the Abbey where there is a rule about singing.

That's the hardest rule of all for me.

Sister Margaretta is always reminding me, but too late,

after I've started singing.

The other day you were singing in the garden

at the top of your voice...

But, Mother, it's that kind of song.

I came to the window and when you saw me, you stopped.

Yes. That's been on my mind ever since it happened.

Yes, it's been on my mind too.

I wish you hadn't stopped.

You see, I...I used to sing that song when I was a little girl,

and I can't quite remember...

Please...

(BOTH CHUCKLING) Mother! We were both singing at the top of our voices.

Yes, you are right. It is...that kind of song.

And singing it always makes me feel better.

Reverend Mother, where did you learn that song?

I was brought up in the mountains myself.

Maria, in spite of what you saw over the Abbey wall that day,

you...you weren't prepared for the way we live here, were you?

No, Mother, but I pray and I try.

Tell me, Maria, what is the most important lesson you've learned here?

To find out what is the will of God and to do it.

Even if it is hard to accept?

Even then.

Maria, the dress you wore when you first came to us,

is it still in the robing room?

Why, no, Mother, I'm sure that's been given to the poor.

Sister Margaretta said that when we enter the Abbey,

our worldly clothes...

Reverend Mother, why do you ask?

Maria, it seems to be the will of God that you leave us.

Leave? Leave here?

Oh, no! Mother, please, no!

— For a while only. — Oh, please, don't send me away, Mother.

This is what I want. This is my life.

But are you ready for it?

Perhaps if you go out into the world again for a time,

you will return to us knowing what we expect of you

and that we do expect it.

I know what you expect, Mother, and I'll do it. I promise.

Maria.

If it is God's will...

Where am I to go?

There's a family, a family with seven children.

And you're good with children, you like them.

They need a governess until September.

Until September!

Captain von Trapp expects somebody this afternoon.

He's a fine man and a brave one.

He was given the Maria Teresa medal of honour by the Emperor.

It was for heroism in the Adriatic.

A Captain in the Navy! Oh, Mother, he'll be very strict.

Maria, you're not going to his battleship.

God bless you, my child.

Reverend Mother... have I your permission to sing?

Yes, my child.

(TOOT-TOOT)

(SIGHS)

(SHARP TOOTS)

(IMPATIENT TOOTS)

Yes, sir?

I was calling the housekeeper and she didn't answer.

Do you know why?

Sometimes she doesn't hear, sir.

I'm sorry, sir, I was answering the telephone.

Good day, sir. We're happy to have you home again.

Why did the last governess leave?

Who knows? She just said, "I've had enough of this," and walked out.

Why? Was Louisa playing her tricks again?

Putting toads in her bed?

She didn't complain of that, sir.

Well, there's a new one coming today,

— and this one can't walk out. — Oh?

She's coming from Nonnberg Abbey with orders to stay until September.

I hope you'll be at home for a time, sir.

Just until tomorrow.

The telephone call, was it for me?

No, sir, it was for Franz.

But before you arrived there was a call from Vienna, a Frau Schraeder.

— I have the number in the pantry. — I know the number.

Oh, and I'll be back in about a month with some guests.

Yes, sir. Do you know how many, sir?

Just two. Herr Detweiler...

Ah! Herr Detweiler.

And Frau Schraeder.

Who wanted me on the telephone?

It was the post office. They've got a telegram for you.

It will be delivered at 7:00.

7:00? That gives me five hours to be nervous.

With that scatter-brained boy delivering telegrams...

Well, that's one thing people are saying.

If the Germans did take over Austria, we'd have efficiency.

Don't let the Captain hear you say that.

(WHISTLE BLASTS)

Oh! He didn't whistle for us when his wife was alive.

He's being the captain of a ship again.

(INSISTENT WHISTLE BLASTS)

I can't bear being whistled for. It's humiliating.

In the...in the Imperial Navy, the bosun always whistled for us.

But I wasn't in the Imperial Navy.

Too bad. You could have made a fortune.

You will wait here.

I'm Captain von Trapp. You are Fraulein...

Maria. Maria Rainer.

Now, Fraulein, as to your duties...

Would you mind stepping over there?

Before you meet the children, you will put on another dress.

I haven't any other dress.

When we enter the Abbey, our worldly clothes are given to the poor.

What about this one?

The poor didn't want this one.

This is what you would call a worldly dress?

It belonged to our last postulant.

I would have made myself a dress but I wasn't given time.

I can make my own clothes.

Good. I'll see that you're given some material, today if possible.

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 you will carry on from there.

Each morning is 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.

Yes, sir.

(MULTI-TONAL TOOT)

CAPTAIN: Ahem.

This is your new governess, Fraulein Maria.

As I sound your signal, you will step forward and repeat your name.

You, Fraulein, will listen and learn their names...

..and copy the signals.

(TOOT-TOOT)

— Liesl. — (TOOT-TOOT-TOOT)

— Friedrich. — (TOO-OOOOT)

— Louisa. — (TOOT-TOOT-TOOT-TOOT-TOOT)

— Kurt. — (TOO-OO-OO-OO-OOOOT)

— Brigitta. — (TOO-TOO-TOO-TOO-TOOT)

— Marta. — (TOOO-OOOOOOT)

Gretl.

(FOUR WHISTLE BLASTS)

Now, Fraulein...

..let's see how well you listened.

I won't have to whistle for them, Reverend...Captain.

What I mean is, I'll be with them all the time.

Not on all occasions. This is a large house and a large estate.

They have been taught to come only when they hear their signal.

Now, when I want you, this is what you will hear.

(TOO-OO-OO-OO-TOOT-TOOT-TOOT)

You don't have to trouble, sir, because I couldn't answer to a whistle.

That's nonsense. Everyone in this house answers to a whistle.

— I'll show you. — (TOOT-TOOT)

— Yes, sir? — This is my orderly, my butler.

The new governess, Fraulein Maria.

(TOO-OO-OO-TOOT-TOOT)

Yes, sir?

That is the executive officer, Frau Schmidt, the housekeeper.

Fraulein Maria. Please be sure that her room is ready.

FRAU SCHMIDT: Yes, sir.

Well, Fraulein, I will leave you with the children.

You are in command.

(MARIA BLOWS WHISTLE HALF-HEARTEDLY)

Pardon me, sir, I don't know how to address you.

You will call me Captain.

Thank you, Captain.

I forgot to return this whistle, Captain.

I won't need it, Captain.

(GRETL GIGGLES)

Well, now that It's just us,

would you tell me your names again and tell me how old you are.

Now, you're...

I'm Liesl. I'm 16 years old, and I don't need a governess.

I'm glad you told me. We'll just be friends.

I'm Friedrich. I'm 14. I'm a boy.

Boy? Why, you're almost a man.

I'm Brigitta.

You didn't tell me how old you are, Louisa.

I'm Brigitta.

She's Louisa, and she's 13 years old,

and you're smart.

I'm nine, and I think your dress is the ugliest one I ever saw.

Brigitta, you mustn't say a thing like that.

Why not? Don't you think it's ugly?

If I did think so, I wouldn't say so.

I'm Kurt, I'm 11, almost.

That's a nice age to be, 11, almost.

I'm Marta. I'm going to be seven on Tuesday,

and I'd like a pink parasol.

Pink is my favourite colour too.

And you're Gretl. Oh!

I'm going to tell you something.

I've never been a governess before.

How do I start?

You mean you don't know anything about being a governess?

No.

Well, the first thing to do is to tell Father to mind his own business.

No! Louisa, don't. I like her.

— BRIGITTA: What's in here? — My guitar.

What did you bring this for?

For when we all sing together.

We don't sing.

Of course you sing. Everybody sings. What songs do you know?

We don't know any songs.

— You don't? — ALL: No.

Well, now I know where to start.

I'm going to teach you how to sing.

No.

Do, re, mi, fa, so and so on are only the tools we use to build a song.

Once we have these notes in our heads,

we can sing a million different tunes.

Yes, Brigitta, I did.

Goodnight, Rolf.

— Liesl! — Yes?

You don't have to say goodnight this early just because your father's home.

How did you know my father was home?

Oh, well... I have a way of knowing things.

You're wonderful.

No, I'm not. Really.

Yes, you are.

I mean, how did you know two days ago

that you would be here at this exact moment tonight

with a telegram for Franz?

Well, every year on this date,

he always gets a birthday telegram from his sister.

You see? You are wonderful.

Can I come again tomorrow night?

Rolf, you can't be sure you're going to have a telegram

to deliver here tomorrow night.

I could come by mistake... with a telegram for Colonel Schneider.

He's in from Berlin.

He's staying with the Gauleiter, but I'm not sure...

No one's supposed to know he's here. Don't you tell your father.

Why not?

Well, your father's pretty Austrian.

Well, we're all Austrian.

Some people think we ought to be German.

They're pretty mad at those who don't think so. They're getting ready to...

Well, let's hope your father doesn't get in any trouble.

Don't worry about Father. He was decorated for bravery.

I know. I don't worry about him.

The only one I worry about is his daughter.

Me? Why?

— How old are you, Liesl? — 16.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

— Come in. — Fraulein Maria.

Fraulein Maria, it's Frau Schmidt.

I'm just getting ready for bed.

The Captain is going to Vienna tomorrow.

I have this material he ordered for a new dress for you.

Oh, how nice of him.

Even before it's made, this is the prettiest dress I've ever had.

I hope the Captain will like it, because I want to ask him for more material.

— More? — Not for me, for the children.

— For play clothes. — The von Trapp children never play.

The Captain doesn't like them to get dirty.

But they're children.

They have to climb trees and roll on the grass.

Think of all the rocks and caves...

The Captain says the best exercise is marching.

The children will continue to march.

I hope you find your room comfortable.

Yes, thank you.

There will be new curtains for the windows and the alcove.

They will be hung tomorrow.

But these curtains are very good.

There will be new curtains.

— Will the Captain be away long? — I don't know.

Of course he has to come home every time he hires a new governess.

I think sometimes the children get rid of their governesses

just because they want to see their father.

He must want to see them too.

Since his wife died, they remind him too much of her.

Oh, you can put that away. You won't be using it.

— Why not? — The Captain won't have music here.

He won't have music?

And he used to love music.

Oh, there were wonderful evenings here.

His wife would sing, and he would play the violin or guitar.

But now he's shut all that out of his life.

So that's why he's the way he is.

But not to have music, that's wrong for him,

and wrong for the children, too.

It will work out.

The Captain may marry again before the summer's over.

That would change everything. They'd have a mother again.

It's going to rain. You'd better close your window.

Dear God, I know now that you have sent me here on a mission.

I must help these children to love their new mother

and prepare them to win her love

so that she will never want them to leave her.

And I pray that this will become a happy family in thy sight.

God bless the Captain,

God bless Liesl and Friedrich,

Louisa, Brigitta, Marta and little Gretl,

and...

Oh, yes, I forgot the other boy. What's his name?

— Well, God bless what's-his-name! — (THUNDER CRACKS)

God bless the Mother Abbess,

and Sister Margaretta and everybody at Nonnberg Abbey.

And now, dear God, about Liesl.

Help her to know that I am her friend and help her to tell me what she's up to.

Are you going to tell on me?

Help me to be understanding so that I may guide her footsteps.

In the name of the Father and of the Son

and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

I was out taking a walk

and somebody locked the doors earlier than usual

and I didn't want to wake everyone up, so when I saw your windows open, I...

You're not going to tell Father, are you?

Did you climb that trellis to get up here?

That's how we always get in this room to play tricks on the governess.

Louisa can do it with a toad in her hand.

Liesl, were you out walking all by yourself?

You know, if we wash that dress out tonight,

nobody would notice it tomorrow.

Then all this would be just between you and me.

Here. You could put this on.

Take your dress in there and put it to soak in the bathtub.

Then come back here and sit on the edge of my bed and we'll have a talk.

I told you today I didn't need a governess.

Well, maybe I do.

(THUNDER CRASHES)

Oh, it's you, Gretl. Are you afraid?

You're not afraid of a thunderstorm, are you?

Well, you just stay right here with me. Where are the others?

They're asleep. They're not scared.

— (THUNDER CRASHES) — (SQUEALING)

MARTA: Wait for me!

MARIA: Oh, no? Look.

Come, all of you. Up on the bed.

Now all we have to do is wait for the boys.

They won't come. Boys are brave.

(ALL SCREAMING)

You boys aren't frightened too, are you?

Oh, no. We just wanted to be sure that...you weren't.

Was this your idea, Friedrich?

Oh, no. (CLEARS THROAT) It was Kurt's.

That's it — Kurt. That's the one I left out.

God bless Kurt.

(THUNDER CRASHES, CHILDREN SCREAM)

Why does it do that?

Well, the lightning says something to the thunder

and the thunder answers it back.

I wish it wouldn't answer so loud.

Maybe if we all sing loud enough, we won't hear the thunder.

—Whoo! — (THUNDER CRASHES, CHILDREN GIGGLE)

Ah! Franz, did you tell Herr Detweiler we're having coffee out here?

Yes, sir. Herr Detweiler is still on the telephone.

— FRANZ: Frau Schraeder. — Oh, no, thank you.

No sign of the children, Franz?

Not yet, sir.

Georg, these mountains, they're magnificent!

Yes, they're not like any other mountains.

— They're friendly. — (LAUGHS)

Look, that green stretch of woods over there.

When the wind moves through it, it's like a restless sea.

Oh, and that sweet little village.

That's not a village. That's a town.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt its feelings.

It's fun being with you. You're quite an experience for me.

You're quite an experience for me too.

Somewhere in you there's a fascinating man.

Occasionally I catch a glimpse of him, and when I do...he's exciting.

Exciting? I've never been called exciting before.

I'm beginning to understand you a bit better now that I see you here.

You know, you're a little like those mountains...

..except that you keep moving.

How can you be away from this place as much as you are?

Perhaps I've been searching for a reason to come back here to stay.

Georg, I like it here very much.

(CLEARS THROAT) Max can't still be on the telephone.

I know he's desperate about getting singers for the Kaltzberg Festival, but...

So you like it here?

Of course we'll have to spend some time in Vienna.

I have Heinrich's estate to look after.

I thought that was a corporation now.

It is, and I'm president.

You, president of a corporation?

After all, I managed Heinrich's affairs for years before he died.

I just can't see you sitting behind a desk.

Well, of course, I wear a business suit and I smoke a big cigar.

Excuse me, Captain, Herr Detweiler would like his coffee.

— While he's telephoning? — He's just finished.

I'm sorry I took so long.

Any luck?

How would you like this for the Kaltzberg Festival?

The finest choral group in Austria,

the greatest mixed quartet in all Europe,

and the best soprano in the world?

Max, that's something I'd love to hear!

So would I.

All I've got up to now is a basso who isn't even profundo.

Oh, Max, you always come up with a good Festival Concert.

And why? Because my motto is,

"Never start out looking for the people you wind up getting."

That's why I've been telephoning Paris, Rome, Stockholm, London...

— On Georg's telephone? — How else could I afford it?

Why am I up here?

I hoped it was because you liked me.

Of course I like you. Why shouldn't I like you?

You live like a king. You have an excellent wine cellar...

— Max! — I like rich people.

I like the way they live.

I like the way I live when I'm with them.

Speaking as a government official...

(DISTANT CHURCH BELL TOLLS)

Georg, is there a cathedral around here?

That's our Abbey, Nonnberg Abbey.

— Do they have a choir? — A beautiful one.

Good! I have to spend the next few days visiting all the towns around here

listening to saengerbunds, choirs, quartets...

You'll be here for meals, though, won't you?

Oh, yes!

It was in a town just about that size — ah, Watzmann! —

where I discovered the St. Ignatius Boys Choir.

In 1930 they won the Festival, became very famous,

toured all over the world.

Whatever became of them?

By the time their voices changed,

they were rich enough to live in America.

Who lives in that dilapidated castle down there?

Rumpelstiltskin?

Baron Elberfeld. The oldest family in the valley.

I'd like to meet him. I'd like to meet all your friends.

Georg, why don't you throw a dinner for me while I'm here?

Nothing very much, just something lavish.

I wouldn't know whom to invite.

Today it's difficult to tell who's a friend and who's an enemy.

This isn't a time for making enemies.

Let's make some friends.

I can't understand what's happened to the children.

You aren't worried about them, are you?

They should have been here to welcome you.

It couldn't have been an intentional slight. They haven't met me yet.

Forgive me. I'll go and find them.

Elsa, have you made up Georg's mind yet?

Is he going to marry you?

Oh, yes! He hasn't admitted it yet.

There seems to be something standing in his way.

And you don't know what it is?

No.

— I do. — What?

It's very simple. It's money.

Money?

Yes. He's rich

and you're...rich.

Oh, Captain...

I don't see... I mean, I didn't know you...

— Heil! — (BOTH) Heil!

Who are you?

I have a telegram for Herr Detweiler.

I am Herr Detweiler.

You've delivered your telegram, now get out!

Georg, he's just a boy!

I am an Austrian. I will not be heiled!

Georg, why don't you look at things the way I do?

What's going to happen is going to happen.

Just be sure it doesn't happen to you.

Max, it's a good thing you haven't any character,

because if you had, I'm convinced I'd hate you.

You couldn't hate me. I'm...I'm too lovable.

Herr Detweiler, there's a call for you. It's from...

I'll take it.

(CHILDREN LAUGHING AND SHOUTING)

Oh, Captain, you're home!

CHILDREN: Father! Father, you're home!

KURT: We missed you!

(SHARP BLAST)

Straight line!

Get cleaned up!

Get back into your uniforms and report back here!

At once!

(SHARP WHISTLE BLASTS)

(MARCHING BLASTS)

Fraulein! Where did you get these abominations, out of a nightmare?

No, out of some curtains.

The curtains that used to hang in my bedroom.

There was plenty of wear left in them.

Just a moment.

Do you mean to tell me that the people of the neighbourhood have seen...

my children wearing old curtains?

Oh, yes. They've become very popular. Everyone smiles at them.

I don't wonder!

They say, "There go Captain von Trapp's children."

My children have always been a credit to my name.

But, Captain, they weren't.

They were just unhappy little marching machines.

I don't care to hear from you about my children.

Well, you must hear from someone.

You're not home long enough to know them.

— I said I don't want to hear! — I know you don't, but you've got to.

Take Liesl. Liesl isn't a child any more.

And if you keep treating her as one, Captain,

you're going to have a mutiny on your hands.

And Friedrich, Friedrich's afraid to be himself.

He's shy, he's aloof.

Friedrich needs you. He needs your confidence.

— Don't tell me about my son. — Brigitta could tell you about him.

She could tell you a lot more if you got to know her,

because she notices things. And she always tells the truth,

especially when you don't want to hear it.

Kurt is sensitive.

He's easily hurt, and you ignore him.

You brush him aside, the way you do all of them.

I haven't finished yet!

Louisa just wants to have a good time.

You've just got to let her have a good time.

And Marta, I don't know about yet,

but somebody has to find out about her.

And little Gretl just wants to be loved...

Oh, Captain, love Gretl, love all of them.

— They need you. — Stop! Stop it!

You will pack your things and return to the Abbey as soon as you can.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said those things...

..not in the way I said them.

Once you've gone they'll be able to...

(CHILDREN SINGING)

What is that?

Singing.

Who's singing?

Your children.

My children singing?

I wanted them to sing for Frau Schraeder when they met her.

Georg, why didn't you tell me how enchanting your children are?

Children, I'd like to have you show Frau Schraeder the gardens.

Yes, show me the gardens.

I want to see everything, and with you too.

I don't know any of your names yet, but that doesn't matter.

I'm sure I won't get them straight for a long time.

My name's Marta.

It is not! I'm Marta. She's Louisa.

Oh!

You were right.

I don't know my own children.

They're waiting to know you, Captain. They want so much to.

— After I'm gone... — No.

I want you to stay.

If I can be of any help.

You have helped already.

You've brought music back into my home.

I had forgotten...

♪ To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls

♪ Over stones in its way

♪ To sing through the night

♪ Like a lark who is learning to pray

♪ My heart will be blessed

I came back to congratulate you.

Thank you.

The Captain was really moved.

Yes, I think he was pleased.

He's asked me to stay on with the children.

Oh...you're staying on.

Until September.

September?

Then I go back to the Abbey.

The Abbey?

I'm going to be a nun.

Oh!

How nice!

When you get back to the Abbey, think of us.

— I'll pray for you. — Oh!

No.

Yes. And you must do that to all the guests.

Come along, children, the party has started.

Frau Schmidt, will you fix my bow?

We've never had a party in our house before.

Oh, yes, there used to be lots of parties here.

Yes. Friedrich and I used to sneak out

and watch them from the top of the stairs.

FRIEDRICH: I remember the music.

Once your father brought a Gypsy orchestra all the way from Budapest.

Yes, they wore red coats.

Go ahead, children, and mind your manners. Come along.

I remember beautiful ladies and everybody laughing.

There was one lady, the most beautiful of all...

I think she was here all of the time.

Yes, Louisa.

Can we dance while our guests are dancing?

Well, yes, of course. Remember what Fraulein Maria told us.

Yes, Liesl, I remember.

Ready? Curtsy.

FRIEDRICH: Yes, and bow.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

You have German blood, haven't you?

I'm not a German. I'm Austrian.

It's much more pleasant on the terrace.

There's going to be Anschluss,

I warn you and everyone like you, and that goes for all...

Elberfeld, it's very nice to have you and the Baroness here again.

I've heard Frau Schraeder is charming, Georg.

— I hope she isn't ill. — No, just a headache.

I'm on my way up to get her now.

— We'll find you shortly. — Yes.

Father, I don't think these people are having a very good time.

Half the people I invited aren't speaking to the other half.

Well, Father, maybe they're having a nice time

not speaking to each other.

Oh, sir.

Frau Schraeder asked me to let you know

that she will join you in a few minutes.

Thank you.

You might like to see if she'd have a glass of brandy.

Kurt, I haven't danced the ländler since I was a little girl.

Oh, you remember. Show me.

— No, I haven't danced since... — You said left hand behind the back.

Yes, that's right. But first the boy and girl meet.

Yes.

Then they go for a little stroll.

(STATELY MUSIC PLAYING)

Um...

No, Kurt, that's wrong. Let me show you.

May I?

I don't remember any more.

(MUSIC ENDS)

Well, Kurt, that's how it's done.

Your face is all red.

I guess I'm not very used to dancing.

Well, hello there.

Good evening, Frau Schraeder.

I hope you're feeling better, Frau Schraeder.

Yes, thank you...

..Kurt.

Hello, Uncle Max, we're having a party.

Good. Tell your father it's sure to be a success.

— I'm here. — Max!

Elsa! Without a doubt you are

the most beautiful corporation president

— in the entire world. — Oh, thank you, Max.

Max, you're back. And as usual, just in time for dinner.

Georg, did you think you could give a gala without me?

Oh, dear, now we'll have an odd man.

A little odd, but charming.

Liesl, go and ask Frau Schmidt

to set two more places, and I want to see Fraulein Maria.

— Two places? — We need another woman.

— Who? Liesl? — No, she's too young.

— I'll ask Maria. — You're not serious?

— But of course! — But she's a nursemaid.

Well, I don't think of her that way.

I don't mind, but your friends,

you can't ask them to dine with Maria.

Why not?

Elsa, tell him why not.

Max, you're talking like a royalist.

That stops me. Being a royalist doesn't help you today.

— Max, can you change in a hurry? — Yes, Max, we can use you tonight.

Frau Schraeder, they're talking about you out there.

Oh! Come on, Georg, I've been dodging these people for over an hour.

Brigitta, have you seen your father?

Good evening, Fraulein Maria.

Herr Detweiler, it's nice to see you again.

Yes, you're going to.

I knew it all along.

Frau Schraeder didn't have a headache.

She just wanted to get out of the party. She was faking.

Now, Brigitta, you shouldn't say things you don't know are true.

But I do know.

I heard her say to Father she'd been dodging these people.

That doesn't mean that she didn't have a headache.

It's very important that you children like Frau Schraeder.

I like her...all right. Why is it important?

Well, I think she's going to be your new mother.

Oh, Fraulein, Father would never marry her.

— Why, he couldn't. — Why couldn't he?

Because he's in love with you.

Now, Brigitta, that's just the kind of thing...

You must know that...

Brigitta, no!

Remember the other night when we were all sitting on the floor

singing the edelweiss song he taught us?

After we finished, you laughed at him for forgetting the words.

He didn't forget the words.

He just stopped singing to look at you.

And when he speaks to you, the way his voice sounds...

No, Brigitta, no.

And the way you looked at him just now when you were dancing.

You're in love with him.

Oh, Gretl! All right!

One more dance, and then up to bed.

— Thank you, Father. — Thank you, Father.

Oh, Fraulein...

..you're not going to have dinner with the children tonight.

You're going to have dinner down here with us.

Yes! It's all arranged.

You'll have to change. You'll have to hurry.

Oh, and Maria...wear that dress you wore the other night

when we were all singing.

It was lovely, soft and white.

Shall I announce dinner, Captain?

No, not yet. The children will want to say goodnight. Whoops!

Georg, I wanted the children to say goodnight the way they did last night.

— No, no, Elsa, not here. — Oh, please, Georg!

The way they did it for me, it was so sweet.

— No, no, not in front of strangers! — Please, Georg, for me.

Presto chango!

Oh, Max! You're just in time.

for something like this for the Festival, and I find it here!

— Wait a minute, Max. — A singing group

of seven children in one family.

Max, Georg didn't even want them singing in front of the guests tonight.

— I had to persuade him. — Ah, ha, ha!

So you have influence. You must talk to him.

— Max! — Elsa!

This is important for Austria.

(CHURCH BELL TOLLS)

Sister Sofia, take our newest postulant to the robing room.

God bless you, my daughter.

Maria has asked to see you. I know it has taken her a long time.

I waited until she wanted to come to me.

It's strange. She's happy to be here, but she's unhappy, too.

Why did they send her back? Do you know?

She doesn't speak.

She hasn't spoken except in prayer.

I shall see her.

Maria.

This must have been a trying experience for you.

It was, Reverend Mother.

Has it taught you anything?

I've learned that I never want to leave these walls again.

Why did they send you back to us?

They didn't send me.

I left.

I left without telling them I was going...

..without saying goodbye.

Sit down, my child.

Maria, what happened?

Why did you do this?

— I was frightened. — Frightened?

I was confused.

I felt...

I've never felt that way before.

I knew that here I would be away from it,

that here I would be safe.

Maria, our Abbey is not to be used as an escape.

What is it you cannot face?

I can't face him again.

Thank you, Sister Margaretta.

Maria...are you in love with Captain von Trapp?

I don't know. I don't know.

Tell me about it, child.

Brigitta said that I was,

and that her father was in love with me.

And then there he was,

and we were looking at each other

and I could hardly breathe.

I knew then I couldn't stay.

But you...you do like him?

I like the kindness in his eyes.

I like the way he speaks even when he's stern.

I like the way he smiles at little Gretl.

Did you let him see how you felt?

If I did I didn't know that I did. That's what's been torturing me!

I was there on God's errand.

To have asked for the Captain's love would have been wrong.

I don't know, Mother.

I do know this.

I am ready at this very moment to take the vows of obedience,

of poverty and chastity.

Maria, the love between a man and a woman

is holy too.

Do you remember when we first talked together?

You told me that you remembered your mother and father before they died.

You remember. Were they happy?

Yes, Mother, they were very happy.

Yes. You were born of that happiness,

and of their love.

And you, my child, you... you have a great capacity to love.

What you must find out

is how does God want you to spend your love.

I've pledged my life to God's service.

I've pledged my life to God.

My daughter, if you love this man,

it does not mean that you love God any less.

You must find out.

You must go back.

No, Mother, please, don't ask me to do that.

Please! Let me stay here.

Maria, these walls were not made to shut out problems.

You have to face them.

You have to find the life you were born to live.

How do I find it?

You look for it.

♪ Doe, a deer, a female deer... ♪

— Fraulein Maria always started with... — You are not to mention Fraulein Maria.

Come on, Max, I feel like a brisk walk.

That's just what I need. Is anyone using the car?

Now, what would you like to sing?

♪ The hills are alive

ALL: ♪ With the sound of music

♪ Ah, ah, ah, ah

♪ With songs they have sung for a thousand years... ♪

No, not that one.

Louisa, did you play any of your tricks,

any of your jokes on Fraulein Maria?

Only those she liked and laughed at.

— You didn't put toads in her bed? — No, Father.

Well, something must have happened

for her to leave without even saying goodbye.

Isn't Fraulein Maria coming back?

No, darling. I don't think she is.

But she was the best governess we ever had.

Well...you're not going to have a governess any more.

Oh! Good!

I'm not sure that's good.

You're going to have a new mother.

— A new mother? — Frau Schraeder?

Yes. It was all settled last night.

I'm very happy.

Well...I'm going to go for an afternoon walk.

When Fraulein Maria didn't feel happy,

she used to sing that song, remember?

Yes.

All right. Let's try it.

Oh, children, I am so very happy to see you!

I must find your father right away.

— I'll find him. — I'll go with you.

How's your sore finger?

You remembered!

Liesl, are you all right?

Yes, Fraulein, I'm all right.

Many telegrams lately?

No, Fraulein.

I think I'll be glad to go to boarding school now.

Liesl, you can't use boarding school to escape your problems.

You have to face them.

Children, I have so much to talk to you about.

We have some things to tell you too.

You must have a great deal to tell me.

Well, I guess the most important thing

is that Father's going to be married.

Married?

To Frau Schraeder.

Are you sure?

Oh, yes, he just told us. He told us himself.

— We found him! — Liesl...!

Uh, Louisa, Brigitta, boys! Maria, we'll be in the nursery.

You've come back?

Yes, Captain.

You left without any explanations whatsoever, without even saying goodbye.

It was wrong of me. Forgive me.

Why would you do this to us? Tell me.

Please don't ask.

Anyway, the reason no longer exists.

Then you're back to stay?

Only until you can make arrangements for a new governess.

No! You've been missed by the children, I've missed you.

Everybody's missed you very much.

Nothing was the same when you were away.

Everything was wrong.

But...I...

Let's talk about it later. Go up and see the children now.

Maria...

A new dress?

We have a new postulant.

I know I'm right, Max. We'll find him and ask him.

I'll take your word for it, Elsa.

Georg, settle something for Max and me, won't you?

How far down the mountain does your property go?

— Can you make out that stone wall? — Mm-hm.

That's the property line.

— Ah, see? — I didn't argue about it.

I know, it makes me furious.

I don't like to win without a fight.

— Ah! — (GIGGLES)

Herr Detweiler, while you were gone,

there was a call for you, from Berlin.

Who could be calling me from Berlin?

They said you'd know who it was.

Oh! Thank you, Franz. Georg, what were we just talking about?

This is not the first call you've had from Berlin.

Georg, you know I have no political convictions.

Can I help it if other people have?

Let's not start that up again.

The Germans have promised not to invade Austria.

Max knows that.

Then why does he bother to answer the calls from Berlin?

Because if they don't keep their promise,

I want to have some friends among them.

— Naturally. — Oh, you agree too?

Georg, this is the way I look at it.

There was a man who was dying.

They were giving him the last rites,

and they asked him, "Do you renounce the devil and all his works?"

And he said,

"At this moment, I prefer not to make any enemies."

Georg, if they...if they should invade us, would you defy them?

Yes.

Do you realise what might happen to you? To your property?

To your children?

To everyone close to you, to Elsa, to me!

Well, what will you do if they come?

What anyone with any sense would do —

just sit tight and wait for it all to blow over.

And you think it will?

One thing is sure — nothing you can do

— will make any difference. — (SCOFFS)

Don't look so serious, darling.

Take the world off your shoulders.

Relax.

But you cannot save yourself by giving up.

And you cannot outwit a lion by putting your head...

Your call from Berlin, sir.

..in the lion's mouth.

I'll call them back.

You might as well talk to them now, Max.

Go. Go, go!

Georg, I feel I know what's going to happen here.

Can't you see things my way?

Not if you're willing to see things their way.

Hmm.

There's one thing you do better here than we do in Vienna.

Your sunsets.

I'm going to miss them.

Captain...

Oh, I beg your pardon.

Maria!

Georg, you didn't tell me Fraulein Maria was back.

I'm delighted.

Captain, the children were wondering

if they could have a holiday from their lessons tomorrow

so that we could have a picnic.

— Yes, I don't mind. — That will make them very happy.

And may I wish you happiness, too, Frau Schraeder. Captain.

The children have told me that you're going to be married.

Oh?

I'm afraid the children were wrong.

Georg, I must finish packing if I'm to get back to Vienna.

If you feel you must. I'll have Franz get the car ready.

No, I can do that.

Auf Wiedersehen, Georg.

Goodbye, Maria.

I'm sorry if I said something I shouldn't have said.

You did say the wrong thing, but you said it at the right time.

The children told me that you were going to marry Frau Schraeder.

We found we just couldn't go the same way.

That door is shut.

Sister Margaretta always says

— that when God shuts a door... — I know.

"He opens a window."

Maria...

..why did you run away to the Abbey?

What made you come back?

The Mother Abbess.

She said you have to look for your life.

Often when you find it, you don't recognise it.

No.

Not at first.

And then one day...

..one night...

..all of a sudden, it stands before you.

I look at you now...and I realise

this is not something that has just happened.

This is something that I've known deep inside...

..for many weeks.

And you knew it, too.

— What was it that told you? — Brigitta.

She said... when we were dancing that night...

She was quite right.

That was not an ordinary dance, was it?

I hadn't danced since I was a very little girl.

It's quite different after you're grown up, isn't it?

When you were a very little girl...

..did a very little boy ever kiss you?

Uh-huh.

That's quite different too.

Is it?

It is different.

Maria...your whole life will be different now.

I'll give you anything you wish, take you anywhere you want to go.

But I don't want to go anywhere.

All I could wish for is right here.

Why don't we ask the children?

Reverend Mother, have I your permission to look at myself?

Children, children!

Liesl, Friedrich, Gretl, Kurt, Marta, see!

The Kaltzberg Festival, 1938.

And look here!

The von Trapp Family Singers! And here are all your names.

Liesl, Friedrich, Louisa, Kurt, Brigitta, Marta and Gretl.

Why am I always last?

Because you're the youngest.

Now, Liesl, I'm depending on you.

Day after tomorrow,

you must all be ready at 11:00 in the morning.

That's when the bus...

Herr Detweiler, can you help me, please?

The Gauleiter's here. He wants to know why we aren't flying the new flag.

— Heil! — I tried to...

Keep quiet.

When is Captain von Trapp returning?

Who knows? When a man is on his honeymoon...

These are not times for joking!

It has been four days since the Anschluss, and this is the only house in the province

that is not flying the flag of the Third Reich.

You mean the flag with the black spider on it!

Brigitta!

Do you permit such remarks in this house?

Who are you?

I am Maximilian Detweiler,

First Secretary of the Ministry of Education and Culture.

That was in the old regime.

In the old regime, I was Third Secretary.

Now I'm First Secretary.

Good! Then you will order them to fly the flag.

Captain von Trapp...

I mean, I can take my orders only from Captain von Trapp.

You will take your orders from us.

And so will the Captain.

Heil!

Heil!

Why was he so cross?

Everybody's cross these days.

Is Father going to be in trouble?

He doesn't have to be.

The thing to do today is to get along with everyone.

Now, Liesl, be sure all the children are on the bus at 11:00.

Uncle Max, are you sure this is going to be all right with Father?

He'll be pleased and proud.

Liesl, do you think so?

Brigitta, don't you trust me?

No.

Well, anyway, the bus leaves at 11:00.

Fraulein Liesl, see what I have here.

That's Father's luggage.

Yes, they're back.

Now, now, children, they'll have such a lot to tell us,

let's not hurry about telling them anything.

CHILDREN: They're back, they're back!

We missed you!

(ALL LAUGHING)

Georg, we didn't expect you back until next week.

Max, it's good you're here.

There's much I want to know.

Children, we missed you so very much.

What did you miss most?

We missed all that noise you make in the morning.

That noise that you make telling each other to be quiet.

We missed coming up the stairs to say goodnight to you.

We missed hearing you sing.

Oh, yes! You've come home just in time to hear us sing

in the Kaltzberg Festival, Friday night.

Let me see that.

Max, are you responsible for this?

I was just waiting to talk to you about it...

You can't talk your way out of this one.

CHILDREN: Presents!

BRIGITTA: Let's open them in the nursery.

LOUISA: Let's open upstairs!

Now, Georg, I had to make a last-minute decision.

I was very fortunate to be able to enter them at all.

They'll be the talk of the Festival. Seven singing children in one family...

Not my family!

The committee heard them. They were enchanted.

Really, Max? What did they say?

You never heard such praise.

Georg, did you hear?

The von Trapp Family does not sing in public.

But if they make people happy...

And for the Festival, people come from all over the world.

It is out of the question! Georg, it's for Austria.

There is no Austria.

But the Anschluss went peacefully.

We must at least be grateful for that.

Grateful? To these swine?

(SCOFFS)

Maria, he must at least pretend to work with these people.

I admire the way that he feels,

but you must convince him he has to compromise.

No, Max, no.

Maria, you must.

Max, I can't ask Georg to be less than what he is.

Then I will talk to him.

If these children don't perform at the Festival...

..well, it would be a reflection on Austria...

..and it wouldn't do me any good.

Maria...I always knew you loved us children.

Now I know you love Father.

I do, Liesl. I love him very much.

How can you be sure?

Because I don't think first of myself any more.

I think first of him.

I know now how to spend my love.

There's a telegram for the Captain.

Rolf!

Oh, Rolf, I'd like you to meet my mother...

My new mother.

Rolf, it's nice to meet you finally.

I have a telegram for Captain von Trapp.

You stay here with Liesl. I'll take it to him.

I'm under orders to make sure the Captain gets it.

I think you can trust me to give it to him.

— I have my orders. — Silly, they're married.

Oh, Franz!

This telegram is to be delivered into the hands of Captain von Trapp.

— Heil! — Heil!

Rolf!

Even Franz.

Yes, even Franz.

Even me!

Even everybody in Nonnberg except the great Captain von Trapp.

If he knows what's good for him,

— he'll come over to the right side. — Rolf, don't talk like that.

And if he doesn't, he'd better get out of the country.

There are things that happen today to a man like that.

He'd better get out quick.

Cry all you want...

..but just remember what I said before it's too late.

And you remember too.

Liesl, don't cry.

How could he turn on Father like that?

Liesl, maybe he wasn't threatening your father.

Maybe he was warning him.

Liesl...

What is it, Georg?

I didn't think I'd have to make a decision this soon.

Berlin has offered me a commission in their navy.

Well, Georg?

I can't just brush this aside.

I'll admit it would be exciting to have a ship under me again.

What I mean is... it would be a relief and a comfort

to know that you and the children were safe.

But it also means...

Please, Maria, help me.

Georg, whatever you decide... will be my decision.

Thank you, Maria. I know now I can't do it.

Of course not.

We'll have to get out of Austria right away.

You'll have to leave tonight, now.

Not without my family.

And we can't just pick up and leave. They'll be watching us now.

— We'll have to plan... — (DOORBELL RINGS)

We'll have to have time.

— MAN: Heil. — FRANZ: Heil!

Captain, Admiral von Schreiber of the navy of the Third Reich

is here to see you.

Thank you, Franz.

They didn't give us time.

Then we'll have to make time.

I'll bring him in. We must be careful.

What's happening?

Stormtroopers! That's what I was afraid of, Maria.

Max, stay with Georg.

I need the children.

Liesl, quickly, find the children.

Quickly.

This way, Admiral. We can talk in here.

Admiral von Schreiber, may I present Herr Detweiler.

Max, I believe you already know Herr Zeller.

Gentlemen, would you care to sit down?

We are here on business.

Captain von Trapp...

..a telegram was sent to you three days ago.

Yes, I've just received it. I've been away.

I've only been home for half an hour.

Captain von Trapp has just returned from his honeymoon, sir.

— Congratulations, Captain. — Thank you, sir.

Your record in the war is very well remembered by us, Captain.

It's good to hear you say that, sir.

— Let's get to the point. — If you don't mind.

In our navy, we hold you in very high regard.

That explains why I am here.

Having had no answer to our telegram,

the High Command has sent me in person.

That's very flattering, Admiral, but I haven't had a chance to consider.

I am here to present you with your commission.

I'm deeply conscious of the honour, sir, but...

And your orders are to report immediately

to the naval base at Bremerhaven.

Immediately?

Oh, I'm afraid that would be impossible for you, Georg.

Admiral...

..may I present my wife, the Baroness von Trapp.

— Admiral von Schreiber. — Madame!

What I meant, sir, is that we are all singing

in the Kaltzberg Festival Friday night.

See, the von Trapp Family Singers, here in the programme.

It's been arranged by the Ministry of Education and Culture.

Friday night?

This is Wednesday.

That's only a matter of two days. It might be possible.

You could report to Bremerhaven by Monday.

Admiral!

Is there a telephone I could use?

This way, Admiral.

If there is any question, perhaps adding the weight of my voice...

It gives here only the names of the children.

It says the von Trapp Family Singers, and I am head of the von Trapp Family.

It's hard to believe, Captain von Trapp, you singing in a concert.

Herr Zeller, you may believe whatever you choose.

It doesn't say here what you're going to sing.

What are you going to sing, Captain?

It's your privilege to come to the concert and hear us, sir.

Well, I'd like to hear you sing now!

Sing what you're going to sing in the concert. Sing!

— Liesl, will you give us a "do"? — (LIESL BLOWS ONE NOTE)

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you.

Just a moment. I have an announcement that concerns you.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the Festival Concert has reached its conclusion,

except of course, we don't know what that conclusion is going to be.

The judges are putting their heads together to arrive at their decision,

and while we are waiting, I think there should be an encore.

It seems this may be the last opportunity

the von Trapp Family will have to sing together

for a long, long time.

I have just been informed that Captain von Trapp

is leaving immediately after the concert

for his new command in the naval forces of the Third Reich.

A guard of honour has arrived to escort him

directly from the hall to the naval base at Bremerhaven.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, the family von Trapp again.

(APPLAUSE)

Ladies and gentlemen,

I have here the decision of our distinguished judges.

We will start with the third award.

For this honour, the judges have named... ah!

The trio of the Saengerbund of Herwegen.

(FANFARE)

The second award has been given to...

Hmm! Fraulein Schweiger,

the first soloist of the choir of St. Agathe's Church in Murbach.

(FANFARE)

Ah. Yes. Ah, ja.

Ah. (CHUCKLES) Ah.

And the first prize...

..the highest musical honour in the Ostmark,

goes to...

..the Family von Trapp!

(FANFARE)

The Family von Trapp!

(FANFARE)

They've gone!

(SHOUTING)

They've only five more rooms to search. It shouldn't be long now.

How many of them are there?

I counted only eight stormtroopers and their officer.

Sister Margaretta, we didn't know we'd put the Abbey in this danger.

It's outrageous. The church has always been a sanctuary.

Not for these people. This is the third time they've searched the Abbey.

MAN: Look there!

That is why we put you out here in the garden.

They always search the inside, never the outside.

Isn't this God's house?

— Yes, darling. — We must all be very quiet.

We'll let you know when they've gone.

MARTA: After they've gone, can we go home?

No, darling. We've got a very long drive ahead of us.

Liesl, let's all stay together.

ROLF: Lieutenant!

No one out here, sir!

All right! Come along!

(ENGINE REVVING)

Thank God!

They've gone! They've gone. Come.

Mother Abbess, we're sorry to have brought this on you.

Reverend Mother, we can never thank you.

As soon as it's safe, we'll start. We left a car hidden in the woods.

No. No, no. The car will do you no good.

They've left a guard on the road at the front of the gate.

I've been listening to the wireless.

The road is blocked. The border's been closed.

I've always thought of these mountains as my friends,

standing there protecting us.

Now it seems they're our enemies.

No, no. Never your enemies.

Haven't you read?

"I shall lift up mine eyes unto the hills

"from whence cometh my help."

Georg, I know that mountain as well as I know this garden,

and so do you.

And once we're over that mountain, we're in Switzerland.

— But the children! — We can help them.

Father, we can do it without help.

You will have help. "For ye shall go forth with joy...

"..and be led forth with peace,

"and the mountains and the hills

"shall break forth before you into singing."

Come. Come.
