Quote #7
LIESL: Mother? That sounds so nice. I like calling you "Mother. "
MARIA: I like hearing it.
Maria and Liesl get down to some serious mother-daughter bonding when the von Trapps return from their honeymoon. Liesl may have initially claimed she didn't need a governess, but turns out she most definitely wanted and needed a mother.
Quote #8
CAPTAIN VON TRAPP: It says the von Trapp Family Singers. And I am the head of the von Trapp family, am I not?
With some quick thinking, the captain manages to convince Herr Zeller that the family's on its way to the festival to sing (as opposed to fleeing the country). It's appropriate that the music that rescued their family in a more emotional way earlier in the film is now going to save them in a more concrete way.
Another real-life fact: Maria and the captain married in 1927, eleven years before the German invasion. The family did win the Salzburg Music Festival in 1936 and began singing together professionally all over Europe. When they left Austria in 1938, they traveled with their musical conductor.
