"But somewhere in my wicked, miserable past/ there must have been a moment of truth."

Maria: "And what's worse is I can't seem to stop saying things.  Everything and anything I think and feel."
Reverend Mother: "Some people would call that 'honesty'."

Julie Andrews was thirty when they did The Sound of Music.  She manages to capture the innocent bewilderment of a young novice ten years younger than herself, but she just doesn't look the part.  She looks thirty; not the twenty two years that the real Maria was when she married the Captain.

Lisel: "I'm sixteen.  What's such a baby about that?"

Kurt: "Only grown men are afraid of women."

Gretel: "Maybe the flag with the black spider on it makes people nervous."

Captain: "Fraulein, is it to be at every meal, or merely at dinnertime, that you intend on leading us all through this rare and wonderful new world of... indigestion?"
Maria (looking around at the guilty, crying children): "Hm? Oh, no, they're just happy."

Baroness: "Somewhere out there is a lady who I think will never be a nun."

Gretel: "Why am I always last?"
Max: "Because you are the most important."

Max: "I like rich people.  I like the way they live.  I like the way I live when I'm with them!"

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."

I love this movie.  Despite loathing that one song and the fact that "My Favorite Things" has become a "Christmas Classic" despite having nothing to do with Christmas!  It was on TV like a year ago, or around Easter, yah, I think it was Easter; TBS, I think.  One of those deals where it was on at eight every night over the weekend.  I definitely watched at least part of it each night.  In fact, Sunday, I think, I watched the second half of it with Liz in her and Corene's room and Ryan Mat came over and made fun of us for singing along.
Good. Times.

I think my favorite song is most definitely "Something Good".  ...I'm such a girl.

love, real life, films, favorite, the sound of music, quotations, singing
