I'd like to thank each and every one of you for the precious gift you left in my pocket...

Maria: I'd like to thank each and every one of you for the precious gift you left in my pocket today. Captain von Trapp: Um, what gift? Maria: It's meant to be a secret, Captain, between the children and me. Captain von Trapp: Uh-huh. Then I suggest that you keep it, and let us eat. Maria: Knowing how nervous I must have been, a stranger in a new household, knowing how important it was for me to feel accepted. It was so kind and thoughtful of you to make my first moments here so warm and happy and... pleasant. [All the while, the children look guilty. Marta starts to cry] Captain von Trapp: What is the matter, Marta? Marta: Nothing. [Louisa, Brigitta and Gretl join in, while Liesl, Friedrich and Kurt continue to look guilty] Captain von Trapp: Uh, Fräulein... is it to be at every meal, or merely at dinnertime, that you, uh, intend leading us all through this rare and wonderful new world of... indigestion? Maria: Oh, they're all right, Captain. They're just happy. [All of the girls, except Liesl, continue to cry out of guilt]

Um, what gift? It’s meant to be a secret, Captain, between the children and me. Uh-huh. Then I suggest that you keep it and let us eat. Knowing how nervous I must have been... a stranger in a new household... knowing how important it was for me to feel accepted... it was so kind and thoughtful of you... to make my first moments here so warm... and happy and pleasant. - What is the matter, Marta? - Nothing. Fraülein. 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? Oh, they're all right, Captain. They're just happy. - Rolfe, good evening. - Good evening, Franz. - I trust everything is under control? - Yes. Yes. Good. - Are there, uh, any developments? - Perhaps. - Is the captain at home? - He's at dinner. - With the family? - Yes. Please give him this telegram at once. Certainly. - A telegram for you, sir. - Mmm. Franz, who delivered it?
