　　[05:33.66]The mountains are magnificent, really magnificent.

 

　　[05:36.99]- I had them put up just for you. - Oh?

 

　　[05:39.93]Even if it’s to a height of 10,000 feet...

 

　　[05:42.40]...Georg always believes in "rising to the occasion."

 

　　[05:46.14]Unless the jokes improve, I’m taking back my invitation.

 

　　[05:49.04]You didn’t invite me. I invited myself.

 

　　[05:51.91]- Naturally. - You needed a chaperone...

 

　　[05:54.68]...and I needed a place where the cuisine² is superb...

 

　　[05:57.65]...the wine cellar unexcelled...

 

　　[06:00.55]...and the price perfect.

 

　　[06:03.55]Max, you are outrageous³.

 

　　[06:05.65]Not at all. I’m a very charming sponge.

 

　　[06:12.23]Listen.

 

　　[06:15.73]That’s the Klopmann Monastery⁴ Choir⁵.

 

　　[06:21.00]They’re good.

 

　　[06:23.67]Very good.

 

　　[06:26.08]I must explore this area in the next few days.

 

　　[06:28.94]Somewhere, a hungry singing group is waiting for Max Detweiler...

 

　　[06:32.68]...to pluck it out and make it famous at the Salzburg Folk Festival.

 

　　[06:37.19]- They get fame, you get money. - It’s unfair, I admit it.

 

　　[06:40.72]But someday that’ll be changed. I shall get the fame too.

 

　　[06:52.17]Good heavens, what’s this?

 

　　[06:55.74]It’s nothing. Just some local urchins⁶.

 

　　[07:13.29]This really is exciting for me, Georg. Being here with you.

 

　　[07:18.03]Trees, lakes, you’ve seen them before.

 

　　[07:20.86]That is not what I mean, and you know it.

 

　　[07:23.73]- You mean me? I’m exciting? - Is that so impossible?

　　[07:27.94]No, just highly improbable.

 

　　[07:31.24]- There you go, running yourself down. - Well, I’m a dangerous driver.

 

　　[07:39.15]You’re much less of a riddle⁷ when I see you here, Georg.

 

　　[07:43.09]- In my natural habitat? - Yes, exactly.

 

　　[07:46.16]Are you saying that I’m more at home...

 

　　[07:48.59]...among the birds and the flowers and the wind that moves...

 

　　[07:52.83]...through the trees like a restless sea?

 

　　[07:55.26]How poetic⁸.

 

　　[07:57.07]Yes, it was rather, wasn’t it?

 

　　[08:00.07]More at home here than in Vienna in all your glittering salons⁹...

 

　　[08:05.41]...gossiping gaily¹⁰ with bores I detest¹¹, soaking myself in champagne¹²...

 

　　[08:10.05]...stumbling about to waltzes by Strausses I can’t even remember?

 

　　[08:14.05]- Is that what you’re saying? - Yes.

 

　　[08:16.42]Now whatever gave you that idea?

 

　　[08:22.12]Oh, I do like it here, Georg. It’s so lovely and peaceful.

 

　　[08:26.33]How can you leave it so often?

 

　　[08:28.56]Oh, pretending to be madly active, I suppose.

 

　　[08:31.63]Activity suggests a life filled with purpose.

 

　　[08:35.64]Could it be running away from memories?

 

　　[08:41.11]Or perhaps just searching for a reason to stay.

 

　　[08:45.68]I hope that’s why you’ve been coming to Vienna so often.

 

　　[08:49.85]- Were there other distractions¹⁴? - I’d hardly call you a distraction¹³.

 

　　[08:54.46]Well, what would you call me, Georg?

 

　　[08:59.36]Lovely...

 

　　[09:01.66]...charming, witty¹⁵, graceful¹⁶, the perfect hostess...

 

　　[09:04.50]...and, you’re going to hate me for this...

 

　　[09:07.74]...in a way, my savior.

 

　　[09:10.11]Oh, how unromantic.

 

　　[09:12.14]I’d be an ungrateful wretch¹⁷ if I didn’t say...

 

　　[09:14.71]...that you brought some meaning back into my life.

 

　　[09:19.82]I am amusing, I suppose.

 

　　[09:22.75]I have the finest couturier in Vienna and a glittering circle of friends.

 

　　[09:27.76]- I do give some rather gay parties. - Oh, yes.

 

　　[09:31.16]But take all that away...

 

　　[09:33.20]...and you have just wealthy, unattached little me...

 

　　[09:38.27]...searching, just like you.

 

　　[09:45.77]More strudel, Herr Detweiler?

 

　　[09:47.74]- How many have I had? - Two.

 

　　[09:49.55]Make it an uneven¹⁸ three.

 

　　[09:54.75]Still eating, Max? Must be unhappy.

 

　　[09:58.02]That mixed quartet I’ve been trying to steal away from Sol Hurok.

 

　　[00:05.17]I'm glad you told me, Liesl. We'll just be good friends.

 

　　[00:10.40]I'm Friedrich. I'm 14. I'm impossible.

 

　　[00:14.47]Really? Who told you that, Friedrich?

　　[00:16.41]Fr鋟lein Josephine. Four governesses ago.

 

　　[00:20.35]I'm Brigitta.

 

　　[00:23.65]You didn't tell me how old you are, Louisa.

 

　　[00:28.35]I'm Brigitta. She's Louisa.

 

　　[00:30.86]She's 13 years old, and you're smart.

 

　　[00:33.86]I'm 10, and I think your dress is the ugliest one I ever saw.

 

　　[00:37.93]- Brigitta, you shouldn't say that. - Why not?

 

　　[00:40.73]- Don't you think it's ugly? - Of course.

 

　　[00:43.30]But Fr鋟lein Helga's was ugliest.

 

　　[00:46.24]I'm Kurt. I'm 11. I'm incorrigible¹⁹.

 

　　[00:49.14]- Congratulations. - What's "incorrigible"?

 

　　[00:52.51]I think it means you want to be treated like a boy.

 

　　[00:58.55]I'm Marta, and I'm going to be 7 on Tuesday.

 

　　[01:02.09]I'd like a pink parasol.

 

　　[01:04.69]Pink's my favorite color too.

 

　　[01:08.56]Yes, you're Gretl.

 

　　[01:10.66]And you're 5 years old?

 

　　[01:12.83]My, you're practically a lady.

 

　　[01:17.34]I have to tell you a secret. I've never been a governess.

 

　　[01:21.91]You don't know anything about being a governess?

 

　　[01:24.98]Nothing. I'll need lots of advice.

 

　　[01:27.25]The best way to start is to tell Father to mind his own business.

 

　　[01:32.05]Never come to dinner on time.

 

　　[01:34.05]Never eat your soup quietly.

 

　　[01:37.06]During dessert, always blow your nose.

 

　　[01:39.36]Don't you believe a word they say, Fr鋟lein Maria.

 

　　[01:42.36]- Oh, why not? - Because I like you.

 

　　[01:46.53]Children, outside for your walk.

 

　　[01:48.74]Father's orders. Hurry up.

 

　　[01:50.80]Quick, quick, quick.

 

　　[01:52.37]Fr鋟lein Maria, I'm Frau Schmidt, the housekeeper²⁰.

 

　　[01:55.81]How do you do.

 

　　[01:57.08]I'll show you to your room. Follow me.

 

　　[02:11.06]Poor little dears.

 

　　[02:25.54]You're very lucky. With Fr鋟lein Helga it was a snake.

 

　　[02:43.79]Good evening.

 

　　[02:46.49]- Good evening, children. - Good evening, Fr鋟lein Maria.

 

　　[02:57.27]Enchanting little ritual.

 

　　[02:59.14]Something you learned at the abbey?

 

　　[03:03.08]No.

 

　　[03:07.01]Rheumatism.

 

　　[03:18.09]Excuse me, captain. Haven't we forgotten to thank the Lord?

 

　　[03:29.47]For what we receive, may the Lord make us truly thankful.

 

　　[03:33.01]- Amen. - Amen.

 

　　[03:39.48]I'd like to thank you all...

 

　　[03:41.61]...for the precious gift you left in my pocket today.

 

　　[03:48.05]What gift?

 

　　[03:53.03]It's a secret between the children and me.

 

　　[03:55.40]Then I suggest you keep it, and let us eat.

 

　　[03:59.43]Knowing how nervous I must have been...

 

　　[04:01.67]...a stranger in a new household...

 

　　[04:04.27]...knowing how important it was for me to feel accepted...

 

　　[04:07.64]...it was so kind and thoughtful of you to make my first moments here...

 

　　[04:12.05]...so warm and happy...

 

　　[04:14.51]...and pleasant.

 

　　[04:25.53]- What is the matter, Marta? - Nothing.

 

　　[04:39.94]Fr鋟lein...

 

　　[04:41.24]...is it to be at every meal or merely at dinnertime...

 

　　[04:45.28]...that you intend leading us through this rare and wonderful new world...

 

　　[04:50.08]...of indigestion?

 

　　[04:53.29]They're all right, captain. They're just happy.

 

　　[05:14.91]- Rolfe, good evening. - Good evening, Franz.

 

　　[05:17.84]- I trust everything is under control? - Yes, yes.

 

　　[05:22.22]- Are there any developments? - Perhaps.

 

　　[05:24.85]- Is the captain home? - He's at dinner.

 

　　[05:27.29]- With the family? - Yes.

 

　　[05:29.86]Give him this telegram at once.

 

　　[05:32.43]Certainly.

 

　　[05:45.14]A telegram for you, sir.

 

　　[05:49.74]Franz? Who delivered it?

 

　　[05:51.84]That young lad Rolfe, of course.

 

　　[05:56.15]Father, may I be excused?

 

　　[05:58.85]Children, in the morning I shall be going to Vienna.

 

　　[06:03.62]Not again, Father!

 

　　[06:09.96]How long will you be gone this time?

 

　　[06:12.77]I'm not sure, Gretl.

 

　　[06:14.40]- To visit Baroness²¹ Schraeder again? - Mind your own business!

 

　　[06:18.97]As a matter of fact, yes, Louisa.

 

　　[06:22.68]- Why can't we ever see the baroness? - Why would she want to see you?

 

　　[06:26.78]You are going to see the baroness. I'm bringing her back with me to visit.

 

　　[06:33.19]And Uncle Max.

 

　　[06:35.19]Uncle Max!

 

　　[06:53.71]Rolfe!

 

　　[06:58.08]Oh, Rolfe!

 

　　[07:01.71]- No, Liesl. We mustn't! - Why not, silly?

 

　　[07:04.88]- I don't know... - Isn't this why you're waiting?

　　[07:07.75]Yes, of course.

 

　　[07:09.86]- I've missed you, Liesl. - You have? How much?

 

　　[07:12.89]I even thought of sending a telegram, so I'd be able to deliver it here.

 

　　[07:16.96]Oh, that's a lovely thought! Why don't you, right now?

 

　　[07:21.10]- But I'm here! - Please, Rolfe. Send me a telegram.

 

　　[07:25.54]I'll start it for you. "Dear Liesl..."

 

　　[07:29.64]"Dear Liesl: I'd like to be able to tell you...

 

　　[07:32.88]...how I feel about you. Stop.

 

　　[07:35.95]Unfortunately, this wire is already too expensive.

 

　　[07:40.72]Sincerely, Rolfe."

 

　　[07:42.36]- "Sincerely"? - Cordially.

 

　　[07:45.29]- "Cordially"? - Affectionately?

 

　　[07:50.30]Will there be any reply?

 

　　[07:53.63]"Dear Rolfe: Stop.

 

　　[07:56.80]Don't stop! Your Liesl."

 

　　[08:01.61]If only we didn't have to wait for someone to send Father a telegram.

 

　　[08:05.75]How do I know when I'll see you again?

 

　　[08:09.02]Well, let's see...

 

　　[08:13.29]I could come here by mistake.

 

　　[08:16.19]With a telegram for Colonel Schneider! He's here from Berlin staying with...

 

　　[08:21.79]No one knows he's here. Don't tell your father.

 

　　[08:25.33]- Why not? - Your father's so Austrian.

 

　　[08:28.70]We're all Austrian.

 

　　[08:30.20]Some think we ought to be German, and they're very mad at those who don't.

 

　　[08:34.84]They're getting ready to...

 

　　[08:38.31]Let's hope your father doesn't get into trouble.

 

　　[08:40.98]Don't worry. He's a big naval²² hero. He was even decorated by the emperor.

 

　　[08:46.15]I don't worry about him. I worry about his daughter.

 

　　[08:49.96]- Me? Why? - Well, you're so...

 

　　[08:54.49]- You're such a baby! - I'm 16. What's such a baby about that?

 

　　[09:00.80]You wait, little girl On an empty stage

 

　　[09:04.54]For fate to turn the light on

 

　　[09:08.54]Your life, little girl Is an empty page

 

　　[09:12.04]That men will want to write on

 

　　[09:16.85]To write on

 

　　[09:23.26]You are 16 going on 17

 

　　[09:27.39]Baby, it's time to think

 

　　[09:31.40]Better beware Be canny²³ and careful

 

　　[09:35.33]Baby, you're on the brink²⁴

 

　　[09:39.24]You are 16 going on 17

 

　　[09:43.34]Fellows will fall in line

 

　　[09:47.25]Eager young lads And rou閟 and cads

 

　　[09:50.85]Will offer you food and wine

 

　　[09:55.22]Totally unprepared are you
