Scenes with Max
8 scenes Max Max The festival competition has come to its conclusion, except of course we don't know yet what that conclusion will be. And while the judges are arriving at their decision, I have been given permission to offer you an encore. This will be the last opportunity the von Trapps will have of singing together for a long, long time. Even now, officials are waiting in this auditorium to escort Captain von Trapp to his new command in the naval forces of the Third Reich. [The crowd murmurs in reaction.] And so, ladies and gentlemen, the Family von Trapp again to bid you farewell.
Max Have you made up Georg's mind yet? Do I hear wedding bells?
Pealing madly.
Max Marvelous.
But not necessarily for me.
Max What kind of talk's that?
That is none of your business talk, Max. I am terribly fond of Georg and I will not have you toying with us.
Max But I am a child. I like toys, so tell me everything. Oh come on, tell Max every teensy, weensy, intimate disgusting detail.
Well, let's just say I have a feeling I may be here on approval.
Max Well, I approve of that. How can you miss?
Far too easily.
Max If I know you, darling, and I do, you will find a way.
Oh, he's no ordinary man.
Max No, he's rich!
When his wife died, she left him with a terrible heartache.
Max And when your husband died, he left you with a terrible fortune.
Oh, Max, you really are a beast.
Max You and Georg are like family to me. That's why I want to see you two get married. We must keep all that lovely money in the family.
Marta
Can we really keep the puppet show Uncle Max?
Max Of course. Why else do you think I sent the bill to your father?
Ah Max, you are funny. Expensive, but very funny.
Yes, and I'm just an Austrian.
Max What's gonna happen's gonna happen. Just make sure it doesn't happen to you.
Max You know I have no political convictions. Can I help it if other people do?
Oh yes you can help it. You must help it.
Max The Von Trapp Family Singers. Here your names: Leisl, Friedrich, Louisa, Brigitta, Kurt, Marta and Gretl.
Why am I always last?
Max Because you are the most important.
Max [regarding the Nazis]
He's got to at least pretend to work with these people. You must convince him.
I can't ask him to be less than he is.
Max I hope you appreciate the sacrifice I'm making.
You have no choice.
Max I know... That's why I'm making it.
