Line 38:
* [[Cleaning Up Romantic Loose Ends]]: When the baroness realizes how much the captain loves Maria, she suddenly realizes the captain isn't the man for her, either.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: How the nuns perceive Maria.
* [[Confessional]]: In the last lines of the film, two nuns turn to the Reverend Mother Superior and say, "Forgive me, Reverend Mother, for I have sinned." They then reveal that they stole the
* [[Cool Old Lady]]: Arguably, the Reverend Mother Superior of the convent. She instinctively knows that Maria's calling is outside the convent and she realizes that Maria is in love with the captain. Not to mention when Maria, at first, told the Reverend Mother she left because she was "frightened". To which the Reverend Mother said, "Frightened, were they unkind to you?" The tone which she said indicated she is very protective of the nuns. One could almost call her a [[Badass Preacher]].

Line 123:
* [[Those Wacky Nazis]]: The main antagonists.
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Tomboy Maria and Girly Girl Elsa. Tomboy Louisa and Girly Girl Liesl. Tomboy Brigitta and Girly Girl Marta. And Gretel is somewhere in the middle.

***Even if he was such a martinet he would certainly not have raised them like enlisted men as that would have been undignified. He might have given them a harsh upbringing but it would have been one proper to aristocrats-because [[Captain Obvious|that was what they were.]]
** In the movie, Georg quickly decides to reject the offer of a Captaincy in the Kriegsmarine and leave Austria as soon as possible. He actually anguished over the decision for a while. Technology had made such big strides since [[
** Of all the exaggerations of their lives, Maria commented in her memoirs that the only thing they didn't go far enough on was her behavior at the convent. She always laughingly commented when asked if she was that bad "I was worse!"
**Austrians did not particularly dislike Nazis more than Germans. Of course there were Austrians who disliked Nazis as indeed there were Germans.
