Maria: Dear Father now I know why You've sent me here, to help these children prepare themselves for a new mother. And I pray that this will become a happy family and in Thy site. God bless the captain, God bless Liesl and Friedrich, God bless Louisa, Brigitta, Marta and little Gretl, oh and I forgot the other boy, what's his name? Well God bless what's his name. God bless the reverend mother, Sister Margaretta and everbody at Nonnberg Abbey. And now dear God about Liesl, help her to know that I'm her friend and help her to tell me what's she's been up to...
Liesl: Are you going to tell on me?
Maria: Shh...help me to be understanding so that I may guide her footsteps. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

S. Bernice: Reverend mother...
R. Mother: Sister Bernice?
S. Bernice: I simply cannot find her
R. Mother: Maria?
S. Bernice: She's missing from the abbey again
S. Berthe: Perhaps we should put a cowbell around her neck
S. Margaretta: Have you tried the barn? You know how much she adores the animals
S. Bernice: I have looked everywhere! In all of the usual places
R. Mother: Sister Bernice, considering that it's Maria, I suggest you look in some place unusual
S. Berthe: Well, Reverend mother, I hope this new infraction ends whatever doubts you may still have about Maria's future here
R. Mother: I always try to keep faith in my doubts, Sister Berthe
S. Margaretta: After all, the wool of a black sheep is just as warm
S. Berthe: We are not talking about sheep, black or white, Sister Margaretta. Of all the candidates for the novitiate, I would say Maria is the least likely...
R. Mother: Children, children. Er.., we were speculating about the qualifications of some of our postulants. The Mistress of Novices and the Mistress of Postulants were trying to help me by expressing opposite points of view. Tell me, Sister Catherine, what do you think of...Maria?
S. Catherine: She's a wonderful girl, some of the times
R. Mother: Sister Agatha?
S. Agatha: It's very easy to like Maria, except when it's ,uh, difficult
R. Mother: And you, Sister Sophia?
S. Sophia: Oh I love her very dearly, but she always seems to be in trouble doesn't she?
S. Berthe: Exactly what I say!
