The Sound of Music

(Dialogue #4)

Captain von Trapp: Now, let's see how well you listened. 

He hands her the whistle.

Maria: Oh, I won't need to whistle for them, Reverend Captain! I mean, mm, I'll use their names! Such lovely names. 

Captain von Trapp: Fraulein, this is a large house. The grounds are very extensive and I will not have anyone shouting. Will you take this please? Learn to use it. The children will help you. Now, when I want you, this is what you will hear.

He whistles.

Maria: Oh, no, sir. I'm sorry, sir. I could never answer to a whistle. Whistles are for dogs and cats and other animals, but not for children and definitely not for me. It would be too... humiliating.

Captain von Trapp: Fraulein, were you this much trouble at the Abbey?

Maria: Oh, much more, sir.

Captain von Trapp: Hmm.

The Captain turns to leave and Maria whistles.

Maria: Excuse me, sir. I don't know your signal.

Captain von Trapp: You may call me Captain.

Camelot

(Dialogue #3)

King Arthur: Each evening, from December to December, before you drift to sleep upon your cot, think back on all the tales that you remember of Camelot. Ask ev'ry person if he's heard the story, and tell it strong and clear if he has not, that once there was a fleeting wisp of glory called Camelot. Camelot! Camelot! Now say it out with pride and joy!

Tom: Camelot! Camelot!

King Arthur: Yes, Camelot, my boy! Where once it never rained till after sundown, by eight a.m. the morning fog had flown... Don't let it be forgot that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment, that was known as Camelot.

My Fair Lady 

(Quote #1)
Professor Henry Higgins: Damn, damn, damn, DAMN!
I've grown accustomed to her face! She almost makes the day begin! I've grown accustomed to the tune that she whistles night and noon. Her smiles, her frowns, her ups, her downs, are second nature to me now, like breathing out and breathing in... I was serenely independent and content before we met! Surely I could always be that way again... And yet... I've grown accustomed to her looks, accustomed to her voice, accustomed... to her... face.

The Americanization of Emily (dialogue #2)

Charlie: Have you noticed that war is the only chance a man gets to do something redeeming? That’s why war’s so attractive.
Mrs. Barham: War’s very handsome, I agree.
Charlie: At any rate, I turned down Adm. Jesseup’s offer and I enlisted in the Marines as a private. I even applied for combat service. My wife, to all appearances a perfectly sensible woman, encouraged me in this idiotic decision. Seven months later I found myself invading the Solomon island. There I was, splashing away in the shoals of Guadalcanal. It suddenly occurred to me a man could get killed doing this kind of thing. Fact is most of the men splashing along with me were screaming in agony and dying like flies. Those were brave men dying out there. Peacetime, they’d all be normal, decent coward, frightened of their wives, trembling before their bosses, terrified of the passing of the years. But war had made them gallant. They had been greedy men, now they were self-sacrificing. They had been selfish, now they were generous. War isn’t hell at all. Man at his best. The highest morality he’s capable of.
Emily: Never mind all that. What’s this about a wife?
Charlie: That night I sat in the jungles of Guadalcanal, waiting to be killed, sopping wet. It was then I had my blinding revelation. I discovered I was a coward. That’s my new religion. I’m a big believer in it. Cowardice will save the world. It’s not the war that’s insane, you see. It’s the morality of it. It’s not greed and ambition that makes wars, it’s goodness. Wars are always fought for the best of reason - the liberation or manifest destiny, always against tyranny and always in the interest of humanity. So far, this war we’ve managed to butcher some ten million humans in the interest of humanity. Next war, it seems we’ll have to destroy all of man in order to preserve his damn dignity. It’s not war that’s unnatural to us, it’s virtue. As long as valor remains a virtue we shall have soldiers, so I preach cowardice. Through cowardice we shall all be saved.

The Americanization of Emily

(dialogue #1)

Emily: You’ve brought me some chocolates.

Charlie: Two boxes of hershey’s

Emily: Well, that’s very American of you, Charlie. You just had to bring along some small token of opulence. I don’t want them. You yanks can’t even show affection without buying something.

Charlie: Well, don’t get into a state over it. I just thought you liked chocolates.

Emily: I do! But my country’s at war and we’re doing without chocolates for a while. And I don’t want oranges, eggs and soap flakes either. Don’t show me how profitable it’ll be to fall in love with you, Charlie. Don’t Americanize me.
