Reverend Mother: Maria...

　　M: Yes, mother. It is God's will.

　　Reverend Mother: There is a family near Salzburg that needs a governess until needs a governess until September.

　　M: September?!

　　Reverend Mother: To take care of seven children.

　　M: Seven children?!

　　Reverend Mother: Do you like children Maria?

　　M: Oh yes, but seven....

　　Reverend Mother: I will tell Captain Von Trapp to expect you tomorrow.

　　M: A captain?

　　Reverend Mother: A retired officer of the imperial Navy. A fine man and a brave one. His wife died several years ago. Living in the dorm with the children, and I understand he has had a most difficult time managing to keep a governess there.

　　M: Er.. Why difficult, Reverend Mother?

　　Reverend Mother: The Lord will show you in His own good time.

　　(Maria, with her bag and guitar in hands, walks sullenly out of the abbey.)

　　M (singing): What will this day be like, I wonder.

　　What will my future be, I wonder.

　　It could be so exciting to be out in the world, to be free.

　　My heart should be wildly rejoicing,

　　Oh, what's the matter with me? I've always longed for adventure, to do the things I've never did. Now here I'm pacing adventure, then why am I so scared?

　　(Oh, help.)

　　I have confidence in confidence alone,

　　Besides which you see, I have confidence in me.
