   Captain Von Trap   
      
      
      
   They move into their new home in Vancouver, a double storey building.   
      
      
   Maria visits Vancouver monastery. She talks with the Mother Superior.   
      
   Maria is sitting in a chair in the monastery. 'Mother Superior will see you   
   now, Maria.'   
      
   'Thank you,' replies Maria, and follows the sister into Mother Superior's   
   office, the sister leaving. Maria sits down. Maria looks at the bible and then   
   the crucifix with the rosary beeds around them on Mother Superior's desk. She   
   looks at the chair, but    
   mother superior still has her back turned to Maria on the chair. There is a   
   cane on the desk.   
      
   'You don't cane the nuns, do you?' asked Maria. 'That is terribly strict. I   
   could not abide such strictness. I would complain.'   
      
   'I was told you were a problem,' says the Mother Superior turning now in the   
   chair. 'A problem Salzburg could not really solve in the end. Too much –   
   free spirit.'   
      
   'More of a Mary than a Martha, you say,' replies Maria.   
      
   'Quite obviously,' replies mother superior, picking up her cane and standing.   
      
   'They look like rather old rosary beads,' says Maria, making to pick them up.   
   The Mother Superior slams down the cane in front of Maria on the table.   
      
   'Far too much free spirit,' says Mother Superior.   
      
   'Oh, I was only,' begins Maria.   
      
   'Thou shalt not covet, Maria. It is the rules of the Church,' replies Mother   
   Superior.   
      
   'Very legal rules,' says Maria. 'I recall the old rules were done away with.'   
      
   'The law is eternal. Alike the Gospel. But never mind. Without love law is   
   lame, and vice versa,' replies the Mother. 'Now, what do you wish from me.'   
      
   'A general blessing,' replies Maria. 'We've come to a new home, and the family   
   is faithful. We want to continue our life in this new world.'   
      
   'The Lord blesses those who obey him, Maria,' says the mother.   
      
   'And he calls those who follow after his spirit. Such being, the children of   
   God, mother superior.'   
      
   The mother looks at Maria and starts her song 'The Problem with Maria'.   
      
   'Maria, Maria. The rules we're meant to Keep. The Blessing. The Bracha. For   
   those obedient sheep.   
      
   Who follow the master, and do just what he says. Not blither. And blather. And   
   dreams all in our head.   
      
   The problem with Maria, is that she has too much – free spirit.   
      
   The problem with Maria, is that she needs to learn – how to can it.   
      
   (Wacks the cane down as Maria moves to get the rosary beads again.)   
      
   Oh a problem. A problem child. Head somewhat sober. But heart is wild.   
      
   Oh a problem. A problem kid. She'll do as she's told. But that's not what she   
   did.   
      
   Maria, Maria, Maria, it's obvious to me.   
      
   That the problem of Maria is she is just, too much, free.   
      
   Maria, Maria, Maria, you left the Monastery.   
      
   But your heart, so wild, untamed, just had to be free.'   
      
   Silence.   
      
   'Yes, I'm afraid so.' replies Maria.   
      
   'Taming a mountain goat. Can't be done,' says Mother superior.   
      
   'The blessing?' asks Maria.   
      
   Mother Superior sits, and takes Marias hands.   
      
   'Heavenly father. You know the problem of Maria. But none of us is without   
   fault.   
      
   Bless her home, her family, and her free spirit in this new world she has   
   found herself   
      
   in. Be with her, I ask of you.'   
      
   Maria opens her eyes. 'Thank you mother superior.' Maria leaves.   
      
   'Like taming a mountain goat. Lord be with her,' says the Mother Superior, and   
   sits back down.   
      
      
      
   and so on...   
      
      
   Maria Sings 'The Sound of Music' (The Second Song with the same title) up on   
      
   the hills over Vancouver.   
      
   THE SOUND OF MUSIC   
      
   Music can make you glad   
      
   Music can make you very sad   
      
   Music is quite a thrill   
      
   Every note, every trill   
      
   The Sound of music   
      
   Well, music to my ears   
      
   Through life's miseries   
      
   Hearteaches and tears   
      
   Music can make you so glad   
      
   I love music still   
      
      
   Music can make you mad   
      
   Music can make you feel quite bad   
      
   Darker melancholy songs   
      
   Remind you of your bitter wrongs   
      
   The Sound of Music   
      
   Well, music for the sould   
      
   Through Life's miseries   
      
   Heartaches and tolls   
      
   Music can make you mad   
      
   But I love music still   
      
      
   The Sound of Music   
      
   Is right and wrong   
      
   Every word in every song   
      
   The Sound of Music   
      
   Is a joy for us   
      
   In every verse and each chorus   
      
   The Sound of Music goes on   
      
   Long after we're gone   
      
   The Sound of Music goes on   
      
   Long after we're gone   
      
      
   Max: 'The Family Von Trapp Singers have done it before, so it's time to grind   
   the axe, and come up with the new world anthem.'   
      
   'Thank you Max,' says Maria, and gives him a funny look pushing him to the   
   side.   
      
   'Very well. I have many tunes,' says Maria.   
      
   'New world anthem,' says Max, sitting down on the mountainside.   
      
   'New World Anthem, mother,' says Gretl. 'Uncle Max is always right.'   
      
   'Has he been telling you that?' asks Maria suspiciously.   
      
   'Uncle Max is always right,' says Kurt.   
      
   'Oh, you too,' says Maria. 'Very well,' she says, sighing looking at Max. 'New   
   World Anthem it is. Let me see. What can we come up with.'   
      
   'It's the new world,' says Liesl.   
      
   'With a new spirit,' says Brigitta.   
      
   'So make it new,' says Max.   
      
   'Thank you Max,' says Maria. Maria looks around at the mountains and down at   
   Vancouver City.   
      
   'Well, here we go.   
      
      
   Songs always begin with Do Re Me   
      
   'Brigitta – Do Re Mi'   
      
   'Marta – Do Re Mi'   
      
   But some songs dare this, Me Re Do   
      
   Me Re Do,' says Gretl   
      
   Me Re Do,' says Liesl   
      
   Such a new world, a new city   
      
   New City, says Kurt   
      
   New City, says Friedrich   
      
   Brave new world with People on the go
