But lately, Maria's taken to kissing the floor when she sees her coming, just to save time!

Fraulein Josephine told Friedrich that - four governesses ago!

Kurt describes himself as 'incorrigible', and then asks Maria what the word means.

The role was played by Norma Varden, who began appearing in movies in the 'thirties, appearing in films such as 'National Velvet', 'Strangers on a Train' and 'Witness for the Prosecution'.

6. Of the children, who plays guitar?

Answer: Liesl

7. Who told Maria that the von Trapp family dances?

Answer: Kurt

They were afraid to tell Maria because they thought she would make them all dance together!

8. What is the dance that Maria and the Captain perform called?

Answer: The Laendler

Remember, it's an old Austrian folkdance, yet it sounds strangely similar to 'The Lonely Goatherd' in some places.

Answer: entire trumpet section

The Captain says this to Herr Zeller during a mild political debate between the two during the party scene.

Answer: Brigitta

Friedrich initially tells Captain von Trapp (before we join the scene) that they were berrypicking, Marta 'confirms' it a few minutes later, and then Brigitta explains why they don't have the berries anymore. Finally, we see Friedrich's lame cover-up on the whole blueberry vs strawberry thing.

Once again, suspiciously similar to 'The Lonely Goatherd'!
