In the title track performed by Andrews' character, Maria, she extensively talks about her love for music while figuratively noting that the hills inspired her newfound love. She sang:

"The hills are alive with the sound of music, with songs they have sung for a thousand years. The hills fill my heart with the sound of music. My heart wants to sing every song it hears."

After Maria starts teaching Captain Von Trapp's seven children how to sing and he hears how melodious his brood sound with their new teacher, he is reminded of his love for music. During a conversation with Maria, he said:

"You brought music back into the house. I had forgotten."

MARIA'S FEUD WITH SISTER BERTHE

In "Sounds of Music," Maria and sister Berthe, the mistress of Novices, don't quite get along, causing frequent disagreements between them. During a conversation before her exit from the convent, Maria acknowledged that they might never get along when she said:

"You know how Sister Berthe always makes me kiss the floor after we've had a disagreement? Well, lately, I've taken to kissing the floor whenever I see her coming, just to save time."

SISTER MARGARETTA SUPPORTS MARIA

Despite her free-spirited ways while in the convent, Maria enjoys support from Sister Margaretta, a kind and understanding nun who is the mistress of Postulants. While defending Maria in one scene, Margaretta says:

DETWEILER LOVES THE GOOD LIFE

In "Sound of Music," Richard Haydn plays the role of Matt Detweiler, a close and loyal friend to the Von Trapp family. Detweiler is also known for his sophistication and his love for luxury. In one scene, he said:

"I like rich people. I like the way they live. I like the way I live when I'm with them."
