  • "...and THESE... are my children."
  • "Fraulein, is it to be at every meal, or merely at dinnertime, that you intend on leading us all through this rare and wonderful new world of... indigestion?"

  • Kurt asking Brigitta not to call Maria's dress the ugliest one they ever saw, since one of their previous governesses wore an even uglier one.
