M: Oh, much more, sir.
C: Hmm.
M: Excuse me, sir, I don't know your signal.
C: You may call me Captain.
(Captain leaves.)
M: At ease. Well now that there's just us. Would you please tell me what are your names again and how old you are?
Liesl: I'm Liesl. I'm sixteen years old and I don't need a governess.
M: Well, I'm glad you told me, Liesl. We'll just be good friends.
Frederick: I'm Frederick. I'm fourteen. I'm impossible.
M: Really? Who told you that, Frederick?
Frederick: Fraulein Josephine. Four governesses ago.
Louisa: I'm Bargitta.
M: You didn't tell me how old you are, Louisa.
Bargitta: I'm Bargitta, she's Louisa. She's thirteen years old and you're smart. I'm ten and I think your dress is the ugliest one I ever saw.
Kurt: Bargitta, you shouldn't say that.
Bargitta: Why not? Don't you think it's ugly?
Kurt: Of course, but Fraulein Helder's was ugliest. I'm Kurt. I'm eleven. I'm incorrigible.
M: Congratulations!
Kurt: What's incorrigible?
M: I think it means you won't be treated like a boy.
Marta: I'm Marta and I'm going to be seven on Tuesday. And I'd like a pink parasol.
M: Well, pink is my favorite color, too. Yes, you're Gretl, and you're five years old? My, you're practically a lady! Now I have to tell you a secret. I've never been a governess before.
Louisa: You mean you don't know anything about being a governess?
M: Nothing. I'll need lots of advice.
Louisa: Well, the best way to start is to be sure to tell father to mind his own business.
Frederick: You must never come to dinner on time.
Bargitta: Never eat your soup quietly.
