You sure you want to sing along with Maria?
To prepare those who plan on attending
“The Sound of Music Sing-Along,”
which will be held Oct. 19 and 26 at the NorthTown and Spokane Valley Cinemas, I’ve included some of the film’s best lines.
These were, by the way, penned by screenwriter
Ernest Lehman
, working from the books written by Maria von Trapp, Howard Lindsey and Russel Crouse:
“There’s nothing more irresistible to a man than a woman who’s in love with him.” – The Baroness
(Eleanor Parker
)
“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?” – Capt. von Trapp (
Christopher Plummer
)
“You are the twelfth in a long line of governesses who have come here to look after my children since their mother died. I trust you will be an improvement on the last one. She stayed only two hours.” – Capt. von Trapp
“I like rich people. I like the way they live. I like the way I live when I’m with them.” – Max (
Richard Haydn
)
“I haven’t had so much fun since the day we put glue on Fräulein Josephine’s toothbrush.” – Kurt (
Duane Chase
)
But my all-time favorite:
“Darling, haven’t you ever heard of a delightful little thing called boarding school?” – The Baroness
