The Sound Of Music - 5

ACT 5. Scene 1.
EXTERIOR . Summer pavilion in the von Trapp premises. There we find Liesl and Rolf

ROLF : " I am 17 , going on 18 . . . "
LIESL : " Darling ! But age has nothing to do with true love"
ROLF : " I was talking about the number of people I am helping to send to the concentration camps this month. And now shall we get down to business ?

ACT 5. Scene 2.
INTERIOR . Inside Maria's bedroom in the von Trapp mansion. 
A drenched-to-the-bone Liesl sneaks in through the window.

MARIA (startled) : " What ! What the hell is all this ? "
LIESL : " Oh , i was meeting my boyfriend. Rolf ? I think you know him .. . "
MARIA : " I couldn't care less who you were meeting. All I care about right now is that you dry yourself , change and mop my floor. And , like , now ! "
LIESL (mutters under her breath) : " Bitch !"

Comes back changed.Proceeds to mop the place. Sullen and resentful

LIESL : " You're such a bitter old person. Is there anything you like at all ? "
MARIA : " I like a lot of things , you know, like . . ."
LIESL (cuts her off) : " Hey Sis ! No one wants to know , OK ?"
MARIA : "Oh but i'll sing it off anyway as its such a swell old hit"

Launches into "My Favourite Things"

Acid drops in high doses and whisky for a pittance
Bright Ecstacy pills and a good Coke remittance
Wild techno parties that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favourite things.

Cream coloured Tony-ies and crisp toy boy poodles
Dark skinned tattoo artists drawing naughty doodles
Cool flirty evenings and hot one-night flings
These are a few of my favourite things.

Girls in thin dresses flaunting their whiplashes
Mountains of money and million dollar bashes
100 Carat diamonds that melt into rings
These are a few of my favourite things.

When a bad trip bites
When von Trapp sings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favourite things
And then I dont feel so bad.
