The Pavilion Scene
After Captain von Trapp broke off his engagement with Baroness Schraeder, he went to see Maria...
|
|
Captain: | Hello.
I thought I just might find you here
|
|
Maria: | Was - was there something you wanted?
|
|
Captain: | Mm? oh no no, sit down...please. Please. Uh may I?
You know, I was thinking and I was wondering... two things.
Why did you run away to the abbey and what was it that made you come back?
|
|
|
Maria: | Well, I had an obligation to fulfill and I--I came back to fulfill it
|
|
Captain: | Mm...Is that all?
|
|
Maria: | And I missed the children
|
|
Captain: | Yes. Uh, uh..only the children?
|
|
Maria: | No..yes! Isn't it right I should have miss them?
|
|
Captain: | Oh yes, yes of course...I was, uh, only hoping perhaps you...perhaps you might, uh...
|
|
Maria: | Yes?
|
|
Captain: | Well, uh, nothing was the same when you were away and it'll be wrong again after you leave. And I just thought perhaps you might..uh, change your mind?
|
|
|
Maria: | Well, I'm sure the baroness will be able to make things fine for you
|
|
Captain: | Maria, there isn't going to be any baroness
|
|
Maria: | There isn't?
|
|
Captain: | No...
|
|
Maria: | I don't understand
|
|
Captain: | Well, we've, um...called off our engagement you see and, um...
|
|
Maria: | Oh I'm sorry
|
|
Captain: | Yes...you are?
|
|
Maria: | Mhmm..you did?
|
|
Captain: | Yes. Well you can't marry someone...when you're inlove with someone else, can you?
|
 
|
|
Maria: | Reverend mother always said, "When the Lord closes the door, somewhere He opens a window."
|
|
Captain: | What else does the reverend mother say?
|
|
Maria: | That you have to look for your life
|
|
Captain: | Is that why you came back?
|
(Maria nods)
|
|
Captain: | And have you found it, Maria?
|
|
Maria: | I think I have, I know I have
|
|
Captain: | I love you.
|
|
Maria: | Oh, can this be happening to me?
|
(She sings "Something Good")
Perhaps I had a wicked childhood
Perhaps I had a miserable youth
But somewhere in my wicked, miserable past
There must've been a moment of truth
For here you are, standing there, loving me
Whether or not, you should
So somewhere in my youth, or childhood
I must have done something good
Nothing comes from nothing, nothing ever could
So somewhere in my youth, or childhood
I must have done something good...
|
|
Captain: | Do you know when I first started loving you?
That night at the dinner table when you sat on that ridiculous pinecone!
|
|
Maria: | What?
I knew the first time you blew that silly whistle
|
|
Captain: | Oh my love
For here you are standing there, loving me
Whether or not you should
|
|
Maria: |
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must've done something good
|
|
Both: |
Nothing comes from nothing, nothing ever could
|
|
Maria: |
So somewhere in my youth...
|
|
Captain: |
Or childhood
|
|
Maria: |
I must've done something...
|
|
Both: |
Something...good...
|
|
Captain: | Maria? Is there anyone I should go to to ask permmission to marry you?
|
|
Maria: | Well, why don't we ask--
|
|
Both: | ...the children?
|

TRIVIA:
Julie Andrews quotes: (according to Hirsch's book)
"Chris and I were standing very close,"
"We were face to face, about an inch away from each other's eyes. We were just getting to the part where he would say "I love you" or we'd start kissing...and then those old arc lights would let out a loud 'raspberry'! It was like a comment on our scene! Well, Chris and I would start laughing. We couldn't help it. Then we'd go back to the scene again, and those lights would start groaning at us again! Our giggling got even worse. In fact, it got to the point where we couldn't get through the scene!"
~ Vanessa says: So that's why during that particular scene you'll notice Julie was smiling...I know I know she's smiling because her character, Maria, finally got the captain and all that, but it was a different kind of smile, so I'm asking.."what was that all about?!" that part where the captain was about to say 'I love you' was suppose to be a serious scene. so I guess, this explains everything.
