*scene 1*

*Maria sings the hills are alive*

Maria: Oh Jesus Christ

*runs away*

*scene 2*

Hallelujah, hallelujah

(Baltiza, Sasis and Alissa together after hallelujah)

Sister Bernice: Reverend Mother.

Reverend Mother: Sister Bernice.

Sister Bernice: I simply cannot find her.

Reverend Mother: Maria?

Sister Bernice: She's missing again.

Sister Berthe: We should've put a cowbell around her neck.

Sister Margaretta: Have you tried the barn? You know how much she adores the
animals.

Sister Bernice: I have looked everywhere. In all of the usual places.

Reverend Mother: Sister, considering it's Maria, I suggest you look in

someplace unusual.

Sister Berthe: Well, Reverend Mother, I hope this new infraction ends
whatever doubts you may still have about Maria's future here.

Reverend Mother: I always try to keep faith in my doubts, Sister Berthe.

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

Sister Berthe: We are not talking about sheep, black or white, Sister
Margaretta. Of all the candidates for the novitiate, Maria is the least--

Reverend Mother: Tell me, Sister Catherine, what do you think of Maria?

Sister Catherine: She's a wonderful girl, some of the time.

Reverend Mother: Sister Agatha?

Sister Agatha: It's very easy to like Maria except when it's difficult.

Reverend Mother: And you, Sister Sophia?

Sister Sophia: Oh, I love her very dearly. But she always seems to be in
trouble, doesn't she?
Sister Berthe: Exactly what I say.

*How do u solve a problem like Maria*

Scene 3

Sister: You may go in now, Maria.

Reverend mother: Come here, my child. Now sit down.

Maria: Reverend Mother, I'm sorry. I couldn't help myself. The hills were
beckoning and before—

Reverend Mother: Dear.

Maria: I haven't summoned you for apologies. Please let me ask for
forgiveness.

Reverend Mother: Maria, when you saw us over the wall and longed to be with
us that didn't mean you were prepared for the way we live here, did it?

Maria: No, Mother, but I pray and I try. And I am learning. I really am.

R.M: What is the most important lesson you have learned here?

Maria: To find out what is the will of God and do it wholeheartedly.

R.M: Maria, it seems to be God's will that you leave us.

Maria: Leave?

R.M: Only for a while.

Maria: No, Mother! Please don't send me away! This is where I belong. It's my
home, my family. It's my life.

R.M: Are you truly ready for it?

Maria: Yes, I am.

R.M: If you go out into the world for a time, knowing what we expect of you.
You will find out if you can expect it of yourself.

Maria: I know what you expect, Mother, and I can do it! I promise I can! Yes,
Mother. If it is God's will.

R.M: There is a family near Salzburg that needs a governess until September
for seven children.

Maria: Seven children?!

R.M: Do you like children?

Maria: Well, yes, but seven!

R.M: I will tell Captain von Trapp to expect you tomorrow.

Maria: Captain?

R.M: A retired officer of the lmperial Navy. A fine man and a brave one. His
wife died, and he is alone with the children. I understand he has had a
difficult time keeping a governess there.

Maria: Why difficult, Reverend Mother?

R.M: The Lord will show you in His own good time.

Scene 4

*Maria sings up up Salzburg*

Scene 5

Maria: *knocks* Hello. Here I am. I'm from the convent. I'm the new
governess, captain.

Old Butler: And I'm the old butler, fräulein.

Maria: Well, how do you do?

Old Butler: You'll wait here, please.

*Maria wonders around the house then later on got caught by captain*

Captain: In future, remember certain rooms in this house are not to be

disturbed.

Maria: Yes, captain, sir.

Captain: Why do you stare at me that way?

Maria: You don't look like a sea captain.

Captain: I'm afraid you don't look very much like a governess. Hat off. Put
on another dress before meeting the children.

Maria: But I don't have another. When we enter the abbey, our worldly clothes
go to the poor.

Captain: What about this one?

Maria: The poor didn't want it. There wasn't time to make a new dress. I can
make clothes. I'll see that you get some material. Today, if possible.

Captain: Now, fräulein

Maria: Maria

Captain: I don't know how much the abbess told you. You are the twelfth
governess 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.

Captain: What's wrong with the children, sir?

Captain: Nothing is wrong with the children, only the governesses. Drill them
in their studies. I will not permit them to dream away their summer holidays.
Each afternoon, they march, breathing deeply. Bedtime is to be strictly
observed.

Maria: When do they play?

*captain whistles and children will form*

Captain: Now this is your new governess, Fräulein Maria. Give your name at
your signal. Fräulein, listen carefully.

*children states their names*

Captain: Now, let's see how well you listened.

Maria: I won't need to whistle for them, Reverend Captain. I mean, I'll use
their names. Such lovely names.

Captain: Fräulein, this is a large house. And I will not have anyone
shouting. You will take this, please. Learn to use it.

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

*Captain turns around and Maria Whistles*

Maria: I don't know your signal.

Captain: You may call me "captain. "

*captain goes away*

Maria: At ease. Now that there's just us, would you please tell me all your
names again and how old you are.

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

Maria: I'm glad you told me, Liesl. We'll just be good friends.

Friedrich: I'm Friedrich. I'm 14. I'm impossible.

Maria: Really? Who told you that, Friedrich?

Friedrich: Fräulein Josephine. Four governesses ago.

Louisa: I'm Brigitta.

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

Brigitta: I'm Brigitta. She's Louisa. She's 13 years old, and you're smart.
I'm 10 and I think your dress is the ugliest one I ever saw.

Kurt: Brigitta, you shouldn't say that.

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

Kurt: Of course. But Fräulein Helga's was ugliest. I'm Kurt. I'm 12 and. I'm
incorrigible.

Maria: Congratulations.

Kurt: What's "incorrigible"?

Maria: I think it means you want to be treated like a boy.

Marta: I'm Marta, and I'm going to be seven on Tuesday. I'd like a pink
parasol.

Maria: Pink's my favorite color too. Yes, you're Gretl. And you're five years
old? My, you're practically a lady… I have to tell you a secret. I've never
been a governess.

Louisa: You don't know anything about being a governess?

Maria: Nothing. I'll need lots of advice.

Louisa: The best way to start is to tell Father to mind his own business.

Friedrich: Never come to dinner on time.

Brigitta: Never eat your soup quietly.

Kurt: During dessert, always blow your nose.

Gretl: Don't you believe a word they say, Fräulein Maria.

Maria: Oh, why not?

Gretl: Because I like you.

Maid: Children, outside for your walk. Father's orders. Hurry up. Quick,
quick, quick. Fräulein Maria, I'm Frau Schmidt, the housekeeper.

Maria: How do you do.

Maid: I'll show you to your room. Follow me.

*Maria follows then later on got caught with frog on her pocket*

Maid: Poor little dears. You're very lucky. With Fräulein Helga it was a
snake.

Scene 6

Maria: Good evening.

Maria: Good evening, children.

Children: Good evening, Fräulein Maria.

*Maria seats at something*

Captain: Enchanting little ritual. Something you learned at the abbey?

Maria: No. Rheumatism.

*Family starts to eat*

Maria: Excuse me, captain. Haven't we forgotten to thank the Lord?--- *Prays*

Family: Amen.

Maria: I'd like to thank you all for the precious gift you left in my pocket
today.

Captain: What gift?

Maria: It's a secret between the children and me.

Captain: Then I suggest you keep it, and let us eat.

Maria: it was so kind and thoughtful of you to make my first moments here so
warm and happy and pleasant.

*Children starts to cry*

Captain: What is the matter, Marta?

Marta: Nothing.

Captain: Fräulein? What’s happening to the children?

Maria: They're all right, captain. They're just happy.

*children cried even more*

Scene 7

Franz: Rolf, good evening.

Rolf: Good evening, Franz.

Franz: I trust everything is under control?

Rolf: Yes, yes.

Franz: Are there any developments?

Rolf: Perhaps. Is the captain home?

Franz: He's at dinner.

Rolf: With the family?

Franz: Yes.

Rolf: Give him this telegram at once.

Scene 8
Franz: A telegram for you, sir.

Liesl: Franz? Who delivered it?

Franz: That young lad Rolf, of course.

Liesl: Father, may I be excused?

*then Liesl secretly went away*

Captain: Children, in the morning I shall be going to Vienna.

Children: Not again, Father!

Gretl: How long will you be gone this time?

Captain: I'm not sure, Gretl.

Louisa: To visit Baroness Schraeder again?

Friedrich: Mind your own business!

Captain: As a matter of fact, yes, Louisa.

Marta: Why can't we ever see the baroness?

Kurt: Why would she want to see you?

Captain: You are going to see the baroness. I'm bringing her back with me to
visit. And Uncle Max.

Children: Uncle Max!

Scene 9

Liesl: Rolf! Oh, Rolf!

Rolf: No, Liesl. We mustn't!

Liesl: Why not, silly?

Rolf: I don't know—

Liesl: Isn't this why you're waiting?

Rolf: Yes, of course, I've missed you, Liesl.

Liesl: You have? How much?

Rolf: I even thought of sending a telegram, so I'd be able to deliver it

here.

Liesl: Oh, that's a lovely thought! Why don't you, right now?

Rolf: But I'm here!

Liesl: Please, Rolf. Send me a telegram. I'll start it for you. "Dear Liesl"
Rolf: "Dear Liesl, I'd like to be able to tell you how I feel about you.
Stop. Unfortunately, this wire is already too expensive. Sincerely, Rolf. "

Liesl: "Sincerely"?

Rolf: Cordially.

Liesl: "Cordially"?

Rolf: Affectionately? Will there be any reply?

Liesl: "Dear Rolf: Stop. Don't stop! Your Liesl." If only we didn't have to
wait for someone to send Father a telegram. How do I know when I'll see you
again?

Rolf: Well, let's see, I could come here by mistake. With a telegram for
Colonel Schneider! He's here from Berlin staying with-- No one knows he's
here. Don't tell your father.

Liesl: Why not?

Rolf: Your father's so Austrian.

Liesl: We're all Austrian.

Rolf: Some think we ought to be German, and they're very mad at those who
don't. They're getting ready to-- Let's hope your father doesn't get into
trouble.

Liesl: Don't worry. He's a big naval hero. He was even decorated by the
emperor.

Rolf: I don't worry about him. I worry about his daughter.

Liesl: Me? Why?

Rolf: Well, you're so—

Liesl: What?

Rolf: You're such a baby!

Liesl: I'm 16. What's such a baby about that?

*I am 16 going on 17*

Scene 10

*knocks*

Maria: Come in… Frau Schmidt.

Frau Schmidt: For your new dresses. The captain had these sent from town.

Maria: Oh, how lovely! These will make the prettiest clothes I've ever had.
Do you think he would get me more material if I asked?
Frau Schmidt: How many dresses do you need?

Maria: Not for me, for the children. I want to make them some play clothes.
The von Trapp children don't play. They march.

Maria: Surely you don't approve of that.

Frau Schmidt: Ever since the captain lost his poor wife he runs this house as
if on one of his ships. Whistles, orders. No more music, no more laughing.
Nothing that reminds him of her. Even the children. Good night, now.

Maria: Frau Schmidt, if I asked the captain about the material?

Frau Schmidt: He's leaving in the morning.

Maria: Of course. How long will he be gone?

Frau Schmidt: It depends. The last time he visited the baroness, he stayed
for a month. I shouldn't be saying this to you. I don't know you that well.
But if you ask me, the captain's thinking seriously of marrying her before
summer's over.

Maria: Wonderful! The children will have a mother again. Well, good night.

Frau: Good night.

*maria kneel down and pray*

Maria: Dear Father, now I know why You sent me here. To help these children
prepare for a new mother. And I pray this will become a happy family in Thy
sight. God bless the captain. God bless Liesl and Friedrich. God bless
Louisa, Brigitta, Marta and little Gretl. And I forgot the other boy. What's
his name? Well, God bless what's-his-name. God bless the Reverend Mother and
Sister Margaretta. and everybody at the abbey.

*Liesl silently walks*

Maria: And now, dear God, about Liesl. Help her know that I'm her friend and
help her tell me what she's been up to. Are you going to tell on me? Help me
to be understanding so I may guide her footsteps. In the name of the Father,
the Son and the Holy Ghost.

Liesl: I was out walking and somebody locked the doors early. I didn't want
to wake everybody, so when I saw your window open… You're not going to tell
Father, are you?

Maria: How did you climb up?

Liesl: It's how we always got in to play tricks on the governess. Louisa can
make it with a whole jar of spiders in her hand.

Maria: Spiders!? Were you out walking all by yourself? If we wash that dress
tonight, nobody would notice it tomorrow. You could put this on. Take your
dress and put it to soak in the bathtub. Come back here and sit on the bed,
and we'll have a talk.
Liesl: I told you today I didn't need a governess. Well, maybe I do.

*enters the bathroom then suddenly thunders were flashing then gretl runs off
to Maria’s room*

Maria: Gretl, are you scared? You're not frightened of a storm, are you? You
just stay right here with me. Where are the others?

Gretl: They're asleep. They're not scared.

Maria: Oh, no? Look. All right, up here on the bed.

Girls: Really?

Maria: Well, just this once. Come on. Now we'll wait for the boys.
Louisa: You won't see them. Boys are brave.

*thunders*

Maria: You weren't scared, were you?

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

Maria: That's very thoughtful of you.

Friedrich: It wasn't my idea. It was Kurt's!

Maria: Kurt! That's the one I left out! God bless Kurt.

Marta: Why does it do that?

Maria: The lightning talks to the thunder, and the thunder answers.

Marta: But lightning must be nasty. Why does the thunder get so angry?
It makes me want to cry.

Maria: Whenever I'm feeling unhappy, I just try to think of nice things.

Children: What kind of things?

Maria: Well, let me see. Nice things, Daffodils, Green meadows, Skies full of
stars.

*My favorite things first part*

Marta: Does it work?

Maria: Of course! What do you like?

Marta: Pussy willow!

Louisa: Christmas!

Gretl: Bunny rabbits!

Friedrich: Snakes!
Louisa: Chocolate icing!

Kurt: No school!

Brigitta: Pillow fights!

Liesl: Telegrams!

Louisa: Birthday presents!

Brigitta: Any presents!

Marta: Ladybugs!

Maria: See what fun it is?

*sings my favorite things for the 2nd time*

Maria: When the dog bi-- Dog bites. Hello.

Captain: Fräulein, did I not tell you that bedtime is to be strictly

observed?

Maria: The children were upset by the storm, so l--

Captain: You did, sir.

Captain: Do you, or do you not, have difficulty remembering such simple

instructions?

Maria: Only during thunderstorms.

Captain: Liesl? I don't recall seeing you after dinner.

Liesl: Really? As a matter of fact--

Captain: Yes?

Liesl: Well, I was--

Maria: What she would like to say is that she and I have been getting
acquainted tonight. It's too late to go into that. You heard your father. Go
back to bed.

Captain: Fräulein, Is it also possible you remember the first rule in this
house is discipline? Then I trust that before I return you'll have acquired
some?

Maria: Captain? Could I talk to you about clothes for the children for when
they play? If I could have some material.

Captain: You are many things. Not the least of which is repetitious.

Maria: But they're children!

Captain: Yes. And I'm their father. Good night.

*doors closes*
*Maria sings favorite things one last time*

Scene 11

Louisa: Fräulein Maria? Can we do this every day?

Maria: Don't you think you'd get tired of it?

Louisa: I suppose so. Every other day?

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

Maria: I can't understand how children as nice as you can play such tricks.

Brigitta: It's easy.

Maria: But why do it?

Liesl: How else can we get Father's attention?

Maria: Oh, I see. We'll have to think about that one. All right, over here.

Kurt: What are we going to do?

Maria: Think of a song for the baroness.

Brigitta: Father doesn't like us to sing.

Maria: Perhaps we can change his mind. Now, what songs do you know?

Friedrich: We don't know any songs.

Maria: Not any?

Marta: We don't even know how to sing.

Maria: Let's not lose time. You must learn.

Louisa: But how?

*First part of Do Re Mi*

Maria: Let's see if I can make it easier.

*second part of Do re mi*

Scene 12

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

Once you have them in your head you can sing different tunes by mixing them
up. Like this:

*third part of Do Re Mi*

Scene 13

Baroness: The mountains are magnificent, really magnificent.

Captain: I had them put up just for you.

Baronness: Oh?

Max: Even if it's to a height of 10,000 feet Georg always believes in "rising
to the occasion. "

Captain: Improve the jokes or I'll disinvite you.

Max: You didn't invite me. I invited myself.

Max: Naturally.

Max: You needed a chaperone and I needed a place where the cuisine is superb.
the wine cellar unexcelled and the price perfect.

Baroness: Max, you are outrageous.

Max: Not at all. I'm a very charming sponge. Listen.

Captain: That's the Klopmann Monastery Choir.

Max: They're good. Very good. I must explore this area in the next few days.
Somewhere, a hungry singing group is waiting for Max Detweiler to pluck it
out and make it famous at the Salzburg Folk Festival.

Captain: They get fame, you get money.

Max: It's unfair, I admit it. But someday that'll be changed. I shall get the
fame too.

Scene 14

Baroness: This really is exciting for me, Georg. Being here with you.
Trees, lakes, you've seen them before. That is not what I mean, and you know
it.

Captain: You mean me? I'm exciting?

Baroness: Is that so impossible?

Captain: No, just highly improbable.

Baroness: There you go, running yourself down.

Captain: Well, I'm a dangerous driver.

Baroness: You're much less of a riddle when I see you here, Georg.

Captain: In my natural habitat?

Baroness: Yes, exactly.

Captain: Are you saying that I'm more at home among the birds and the flowers
and the wind that moves through the trees like a restless sea?

Baroness: How poetic.

Captain: Yes, it was rather, wasn't it? More at home here than in Vienna in
all your glittering salons gossiping gaily Is that what you're saying?

Baroness: Yes.

Georg: Now whatever gave you that idea?

Baroness: Oh, I do like it here, Georg. It's so lovely and peaceful. How can
you leave it so often?

Georg: Oh, pretending to be madly active, I suppose. Activity suggests a life

filled with purpose.

Baroness: Could it be running away from memories? Or perhaps just searching

for a reason to stay. I hope that's why you've been coming to Vienna so
often.

Baroness: Were there other distractions?

Captain: I'd hardly call you a distraction.

Baroness: Well, what would you call me, Georg?

Captain: Lovely, charming, witty, graceful, the perfect hostess and, you're
going to hate me for this in a way, my savior.

Baroness: Oh, how unromantic.

Captain: I'd be an ungrateful wretch if I didn't say that you brought some
meaning back into my life.

Baroness: I am amusing, I suppose. I have the finest couturier in Vienna and

a glittering circle of friends. I do give some rather gay parties.

Captain: Oh, yes.

Baroness: But take all that away and you have just wealthy, unattached little
me searching, just like you.

Scene 15

Maid: More strudel, Herr Detweiler?

Max: How many have I had?

Maid: Two.

Max: Make it an uneven three.

Captain: Still eating, Max? Must be unhappy.

That mixed quartet I've been trying to steal away from Sol Hurok. . .
Baroness: What happened?

Max: Sascha Petrie stole them first. I hate thieves.

Captain: Max, you really must try and learn to love yourself.

Max: I had to call Paris, Rome and Stockholm.

Baroness: On Georg's telephone, of course.

Max: How else could I afford it? Dear I like rich people, the way they live
and how I live when I'm with them.

Captain: I wonder where the children are.

Baroness: They must have heard I was coming and hid.

Captain: I was hoping they'd be here to welcome you. Max, do step out of
character for a moment and try and be charming.

*georg exit the scene*

Max: Well?

Well what?

Max: Have you made up his mind? Do I hear wedding bells?

Baroness: Pealing madly.

Max: Marvelous.

Baroness: Not necessarily for me.

Max: What kind of talk's that?

Baroness: None-of-your-business talk. I'm terribly fond of him, so don't toy

with us.

Max: But I'm a child. I like toys. So tell me everything. Come on. Tell me
every teensy-weensy, intimate, disgusting detail.

Baroness: Well, let's just say I have a feeling I may be here on approval.

Max: I approve of that. How can you miss?

Baroness: Far too easily.

Max: If I know you, darling, and I do, you will find a way.

Baroness: He's no ordinary man.

Max: No, he's rich.

Baroness: His wife's death gave him a great heartache.

Max: And your husband's death gave you a great fortune.

Baroness: Oh, Max, you really are a beast.

Max: You and Georg are like family. That's why I want to see you married.
We must keep all that lovely money in the family.

*other side*

Captain: What are you doing there?

Rolf: Oh, Captain von Trapp. I was just looking for I didn't see, I mean, I
didn't know you were-- Heil Hitler!

Max: Who are you?

Rolf: I have a telegram for Herr Detweiler.

Max: I am Herr Detweiler.

Rolf: Yes, sir.

Captain: You've delivered your telegram. Now get out.

Baroness: Georg, he's just a boy.

Captain: Yes, and I'm just an Austrian.

Max: Things will happen. Make sure they don't happen to you.

Captain: Max! Don't you ever say that again.

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

Captain: Oh yes You must help it.

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

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

Baroness: Is there any way I could bring you back to the world I'm in?

Children: Father! Father!

Maria: There's your father! Oh, captain, you're home!

*falls*

Captain: Come out of that water at once!

Maria: Oh, you must be Baroness Schraeder.

Louisa: I'm soaked to the skin!

Captain: Straight line! This is Baroness Schraeder. And these… are my

children.
Baroness: How do you do?

Captain: Go inside, dry off, clean up, change your clothes and report back
here! Immediately. Fräulein, you will stay here, please!

Baroness: I think I'd better go see what Max is up to.

Captain: Now, fräulein I want a truthful answer. Have my children been

climbing trees today?

Maria: Yes, captain.

Captain: I see. And where, may I ask, did they get these?

Maria: I made them from the drapes that used to hang in my bedroom. They have
plenty of wear left. We've been everywhere in them.

Captain: Are you telling me that my children have been roaming about Salzburg
dressed up in nothing but some old drapes?

Maria: And having a marvelous time!

Captain: They have uniforms.

Maria: Forgive me, straitjackets. They can't be children if they worry about
clothes-- They don't complain. They don't dare. They love you too much and
fear--

Captain: Don't discuss my children.

Maria: You've got to hear, you're never home--

Captain: I don't want to hear more!

Maria: I know you don't, but you've got to! Liesl's not a child. -Not one
word-- Soon she'll be a woman and you won't even know her. Friedrich wants to
be a man but you're not here to show--

Captain: Don't you dare tell me--

Maria: Brigitta could tell you about him. She notices everything. Kurt acts
tough to hide the pain when you ignore him the way you do all of them.
Louisa, I don't know about yet. The little ones just want love. Please, love
them all---I am not finished yet, captain!

Captain: -Oh, yes, you are, captain! Fräulein. Now, you will pack your things
this minute and return to the abbey… What's that?

Maria: It's singing.

Captain: Yes, I realize it's singing. But who is singing?

Maria: The children.

Captain: The children?

Maria: I taught them something to sing for the baroness.

Scene 16

*children sings the hills are alive*

Baroness: Edelweiss! You never told me how enchanting your children are.

Scene 17

Captain: Don't go away Fräulein.

Maria: I behaved badly. I apologize. I'm far too outspoken. It's one of my
worst faults.

Captain: You were right. I don't know my children.

Maria: There's still time, captain. They want so much to be close to you.

Captain: And you brought music back into the house. I'd forgotten. Fräulein.
I want you to stay. I ask you to stay.

Maria: If I could be of any help.

Captain: You have already. More than you know.

Scene 18

Max: Attention, everyone! I have an announcement to make. Surprise! Surprise!

Today, after a long and desperate search, I have found a most exciting entry
for the Salzburg Folk Festival.

Captain: Congratulations, Max. And who will you be exploiting this time?

Max: Your family. They'll be the talk of the festival. Well, now, what's so
funny?

Georg: You are, Max. You're expensive, but very funny.

Maria: Children, who shall we hear from next? *whispers* The vote is
unanimous. You, captain.

Captain: Me? I don't understand.

All: Please.

Captain: No, no, no, no.

Liesl: I remember, Father.

*plays edelweiss*

Baroness: I have a wonderful idea, Georg. Let's really fill this house with
music. You must give a grand and glorious party for me.

Captain: A party?
Children: Yes, Father, please!

Captain: Children, it's bedtime. Come now, say good night.

Children: Goodnight!

Gretl: It'll be my first party, Father!

Scene 19
(at the party)

Brigitta: The women look so beautiful.

Kurt: I think they look ugly.

Louisa: You're just scared of them.

Kurt: Silly, only grown-up men fear women.

Gretl: I think the men look beautiful.

Louisa: How would you know?

Brigitta: Liesl, who are you dancing with?

Liesl: Nobody.

Louisa: Oh, yes, you are.

Friedrich: May I have this dance?

Liesl: I'd be delighted, young man.

Maria: Why didn't you tell me you could dance?

Kurt: We feared you'd make us all dance. The von Trapp Family Dancers.

Gretl: What are they playing?

Maria: It's the Laendler. An Austrian folk dance.

Kurt: Show me.

Maria: I haven't danced since I was little.

Kurt: You remember. Please?

Maria: Well… All right. Come on over here. Now you bow and I curtsy. Fine.
Now we go for a little walk. One, two, three. One, two, three.
One, two, three, step together. Now, step hop, step hop. Now turn under. Not
quite. This way. Hop step, hop. And under. Kurt, we'll have to practice.

Captain: Do allow me, will you?

(they dance)

Maria: I don't remember anymore.

Louisa: Your face is all red.

Maria: We have something special prepared. Right!

Children: Yes, come on!

Scene 20

Maria: Ladies and gentlemen. The children of Captain von Trapp wish to say
good night to you.

*so long farewell*

Max: Georg, you won't let this girl get away. She must join the party.

Maria: No, really l-- -Stop. Stop it now.

Georg: You can if you want to, fräulein.

Max: I insist. You will be my dinner partner. This is business. Franz, set
another place next to mine for Fräulein Maria.

Maria: I'm not suitably dressed.

Captain: You can change. We'll wait.

Scene 21

Maria: It's very kind of you to offer to help me, baroness.

Baroness: I'm delighted, Maria.

Maria: I really don't think I have anything that would be appropriate.

Baroness: Now where is that lovely little thing you were wearing the other
evening? When the captain couldn't keep his eyes off you.

Maria: Couldn't keep his eyes off me?

Baroness: Come, my dear, we are women. Let's not pretend we don't know when a
man notices us. *maria blushes* The captain notices everybody. There's no
need to feel so defensive, Maria. You are quite attractive, you know.
The captain would hardly be a man if he didn't notice you.

Maria: Baroness, I hope you're joking.

Baroness: Not at all.

Maria: I've never done a thing to--

Baroness: You don't have to, my dear. Nothing's more irresistible to a man
than a woman who's in love with him. What makes it so nice is he thinks he's
in love with you.

Maria: But that's not true.

Baroness: Surely you've noticed the way he looks into your eyes. And you
know, you blushed in his arms when you were dancing just now.

Maria: Then I should go. I mustn't stay here.

Baroness: Is there something I can do to help?

Maria: No, nothing. Yes. Don't say a word to the captain.

Baroness: No, I wouldn't dream of it. Goodbye, Maria. I'm sure you'll make a
very fine nun.

Scene 22

*plays the ball*

Kurt: Baroness Schraeder, do you mind if we stop now? We're tired.

Baroness: Whatever you want, dear. We'll do it again tomorrow.

Friedrich: Uncle Max, where's Father?

Max: I think he's in the house. What's the matter with all you gloomy
pussies?

Louisa: Nothing

Max: I know. Let's have a rehearsal.

Marta: What for?

Max: Let's make believe we're on-stage at the festival.

Gretl: I don't feel like singing, Not without Fräulein Maria.

Brigitta: Father?

Captain: Yes, Brigitta?

Bgrigitta: Is it true Fräulein Maria isn't coming back?

Captain: Yes, it's true. She had to leave us.

Liesl: She didn't even say goodbye.

Captain: She did in her note.

Children: That isn't the same thing.

Kurt: Father, who is our new governess going to be?

Captain: Well, you're not going to have a governess anymore. You're going to
have a new mother.

*everyone hugs Baroness*

Scene 23

R.M: You've been unhappy. I'm sorry. Why did they send you back to us?

Maria: They didn't send me back. I left.

R.M: Sit down, Maria. Tell me what happened.

Maria: No, I was confused. I've never felt that way before. I couldn't stay.
I knew that here I'd be away from it. I'd be safe.

R.M: Maria, our abbey is not to be used as an escape. What is it you can't
face?

Maria: I can't face him again.

R.M: Him? Captain von Trapp? Are you in love with him?

Maria: I don't know! The baroness said I was. But I didn't want to believe
it. There were times we looked at each other. I could hardly breathe.

R.M: Did you let him see your feelings?

Maria: That's what's torturing me. I was on God's errand. I just couldn't
stay.

R.M: Maria, The love of a man and a woman is holy. You have a great capacity
to love. You must find out how God wants you to spend your love.

Maria: But I pledged my life to God. I pledged my life to his service.

R.M: My daughter, if you love this man, it doesn't mean you love God less.
You must find out. You must go back. These walls were not built to shut out
problems. You have to face them. You have to live the life you were born to
live.

*R.M sings climb every mountain*

Scene 24

Kurt: I wonder what grass tastes like. We couldn’t eat because we lied to
father that we did not go to Fraulein Maria’s abbey

Marta: I feel awful.

Liesl: When Fräulein Maria wanted to feel better she used to sing that song.
Let's try it.

*sings favorite things then Maria comes back*

Maria: Children, I'm so glad to see you!

Children: We missed you. We have things to tell you too.

Friedrich: The most important thing is that Father is going to be married.

Maria: Married?
Gretl: Yes, to Baroness Schraeder.

Kurt: Father, look! Fräulein Maria's back!

Maria: Good evening, captain.

Captain: Good evening. Everyone inside for dinner. You left without saying
goodbye. Even to the children.

Maria: It was wrong of me. Forgive me.

Captain: Why did you?

Maria: Please don't ask me. The reason no longer exists.

Scene 25

Baroness: You have no idea the trouble I'm having trying to decide on a
wedding present for you.

Captain: Elsa.

Baroness: Yes, Georg.

Captain: It's no use… you and l. I'm being dishonest to both of us and
utterly unfair to you. When two people talk of marriage—

Baroness: No, don't. Don't say another word, please. I really don't think
you're the right man for me. You're much too independent. And I need someone
who needs me desperately or at least needs my money desperately.
I've enjoyed every moment we've had together and I do thank you for that.
Now I go inside and pack my little bags and return to Vienna where I belong.
And somewhere out there. . . is a young lady who, I think. . .will never be a
nun. Auf Wiedersehen, darling. *hugs so tight*

Scene 26

Captain: You know, I was thinking and I was wondering two things: Why did you
run away to the abbey? And what was it that made you come back?

Maria: Well, I had an obligation to fulfill and I came back to fulfill it.

Captain: Is that all?

Maria: And I missed the children.

Captain: Only the children? I was only hoping that perhaps you… Perhaps you
might Well miss me too?

Maria: Well, I'm sure the baroness will be able to make things fine for you.

Captain: There isn't going to be any baroness. Well, we've called off our
engagement, you see, and-- Well, you can't marry someone when you're in love
with someone else.
Maria: The Reverend Mother always says: "When the Lord closes a door,
somewhere He opens a window. "

Captain: I love you

Maria: I love you too

Scene 27

Narrator speaks: Right after the wedding

Nazi: Herr Detweiler! Heil Hitler.

Max: Oh, good afternoon, Herr Zeller.

Nazi: Perhaps you've not heard. I am now the Gauleiter. Heil Hitler. I've
come from Captain von Trapp's house. The only one in the area not flying the
Third Reich flag since the Anschluss. But we have dealt with that. The
housekeeper told me that I would find you here. The only thing she'd tell me.
When will the captain return?

Max: Well, he's on his honeymoon trip. He's not been in touch with us.

Nazi: Am I to believe he hasn't communicated with his children in over a

month?

Max: How many men do you know who communicate with their children while
honeymooning?

Nazi: Upon his return, he'll fill his proper position in the new order.

Max: Naturally. And may I congratulate you and your people in allowing the
festival to go on tonight as planned.

Nazi: Why should it not go on? Nothing in Austria has changed. Singing and
music will show this to the world. Austria is the same. Heil Hitler. Come,
let's go home.

Scene 28

Children: Father! We didn't expect you so soon.

Captain: Hello, hello!

Brigitta: Look, Fräulein Maria-- I mean Mother. We're going to sing in the
festival tonight.

Max: Surprise! Surprise!

Captain: We'll talk about this inside.

Max: I would've told you but you were away. I had to make a last-minute
decision. They'll be the talk of the festival. Imagine, seven children in one
family!

Captain: Max!
Captain: Somehow I recall having made it quite clear to you how I feel about
my family singing in public!

Max: Georg, this is for Austria.

Captain: There is no Austria!

Max: But the Anschluss was peaceful. Let's at least be grateful for that.

Captain: Grateful? You know, Max sometimes I don't believe I know you.

Liesl: Father, I forgot. This is for you.

*Captain walks out*

Max: I'll talk to him. If the children don't sing, well it will be a
reflection on Austria.

*Max walks out*

Liesl: Mother? That sounds so nice. I like calling you "Mother. "

Maria: I like hearing it.

Liesl: You love Father very much. I can tell you do.

Maria: Very much.

Captain: Liesl can you give us a moment?

Maria: What is it?

Captain: Berlin. They've offered me a commission. I've been requested to

accept immediately and report to their naval base at Bremerhaven tomorrow.
Get the children all together. Don't say anything to worry them. I got a
plan, we will join the festival tonight and there we will run away from the
country all the way to Switzerland.

Scene 29

Max: The first of the Von trap family singers!

*do re mi*

Captain: My fellow Austrians I shall not be seeing you again, perhaps for a
very long time. I would like to sing for you now a love song. I know you
share this love. I pray that you will never let it die.

*sings edelweiss*

Max: Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. The competition has come to its
conclusion except, we don't know yet what that conclusion will be. And while
the judges arrive at their decision. This will be the last opportunity the
von Trapps will have of singing together for a long, long time. Even now,
officials are waiting in this auditorium to escort Captain von Trapp to his
new command in the naval forces of the Third Reich. And so, ladies and
gentlemen, the family von Trapp again to bid you farewell.

*Von trapps sings So long farewell*

Max: Ladies and gentlemen, I have here the decision of our distinguished
judges. We will start with the award for third prize. For this honor, the
judges have named the first soloist of the choir of St. Agatha's Church in
Murback. (w script)Fräulein Schweiger.

(awarding)

Second prize to The Toby Reiser Quintet.

(awarding)

And the first prize, the highest honor in all Austria the von Trapp Family
Singers.

The family von Trapp.

Rolf: They're gone!

Scene 30

R,M: Come with me. Quickly, quickly. I have a place you can hide. Slowly,
slowly. (Vontapp hides)

*other side*

Nazi: Open this gate. Hurry up, woman.

*Other side*

Berthe: I'm afraid our car will do you no good now. I've been listening to
the wires. The borders have just been closed. All right, if the borders are
closed then we'll drive up into the hills and go over the mountains on foot.

*Von trap hides then Nazi enters into the scene then after that si Rolf
nalang matitira then captain didn’t notice*

Liesl: Rolf, please.

Captain: No, wait. Maria. Children.

Rolf: It's you we want, not them.

Captain: Put that down.

Rolf: Not another move, or I'll shoot.

Captain: You're only a boy. You don't really belong to them. Come away with
us. Before it's too late.

Rolf: Not another step. I'll kill you.

Captain: You give that to me, Rolf. You'll never be one of them.
Rolf: Lieutenant! They're here! They're here, lieutenant!

Scene 31

Berthe: Reverend Mother. I have sinned.

Bernice: I too, Reverend Mother.

R.M: What is this sin, my children?
