* When the Von Trapp kids play catch with the baroness, the baroness gets hit in the crotch with a ball.

-->'''First nun''': Reverend Mother, I have sinned.\\
'''Second nun''': I too, Reverend Mother.\\
'''Mother Superior''': What is this sin, my children?\\

--> '''Captain''' ''[with barely restrained anger]'': Are you telling me ''my children'' have been running around Salzburg dressed in nothing but some old '''drapes'''?!?
--> '''Maria''' ''[grinning from ear-to-ear]'': Mmhmm! And having a marvelous time!

-->'''Captain Von Trapp''': Uh, Fraulein...is it to be at every meal, or merely at dinnertime, that you intend leading us all through this rare and wonderful new world of... indigestion?\\
'''Maria''': ({{beat}}) Oh, they're all right, Captain. They're just happy... ''[cue full-on bawling from the four girls]''

-->'''Liesl''': So long! Farewell! Au revoir! Auf Wiedersehen!\\

'''Captain Von Trapp''': ''No.''

** Captain Von Trapp's face is just hilarious as his children's lie get more outlandish. He's visibly {{Corpsing}}.

* Maria stops in the middle of her own musical number when she sees the size of the house. Julie Andrews's delivery of "Oh, help" is priceless.

* Remember how Maria said nuns' worldly clothes are given to the poor when they join the convent? At the opening of the scene where Reverend Mother convinces Maria to return to the Von Trapps, she has just finished admitting a new postulant, and sends her to change into her robes. In the next scene, when Maria returns to the Von Trapps, she's wearing the dress that new postulant gave up!

--> '''Captain''': "I trust you'll be an improvement over the last one (governess). She stayed only two hours."
--> '''Maria''': "What's ''wrong'' with the children?"
--> '''Captain''': ''(defensively)'' "There's ''nothing'' wrong with the children, only with the governesses!"
* The Salzburg Marionette Theatre premiered a puppet version of ''The Sound of Music'' in 2007. Among other changes, "The Lonely Goatherd" plays during the curtain call...in which the puppeteers operate marionettes of the Von Trapps operating marionettes of the characters in the song.

** Maria also shows that despite her naivete, she's no fool--when the Mother Superior says that the Captain has had a very difficult time finding a governess for the children, Maria warily asks, "Er. . .why so difficult?", no doubt instantly suspecting that the children must be very badly behaved.

** She had a similar moment when they first met, nearly calling him "Reverend Mother" before catching herself, his authoritative attitude clearly reminding her of her Mother Superior.

* While they're eating dinner, Maria guilt-trips the children for trying to make her first day miserable, causing all of them to lose their appetites. Liesel and the two boys sit in shamefaced silence, and Louisa, Brigitta, Marta and Gretl start to cry one by one:

'''Maria''': ({{beat}}) Oh, they're all right, Captain. They're just happy... ''[cue louder bawling from the four girls]''

'''Maria''': ''[[Beat (beat)]]'' Oh, they're all right, Captain. They're just happy... ''[cue louder bawling from the four girls]''
