"My daddy always used to say “Be optimistic, doncha be a grumpy, when the road gets bumpy, just smile, smile, smile be happy! Don’t wear a long face it’s never in style, be optimistic and smile!”"

"Even if you can't stand her, even if you hate her, there's some mystery about my mother."

"Mom, Mom! I'm sorry but you have to understand I was just doing an audition. They wanted me to...no one would even know it was you... You know every morning I wake up and I don't even want to be here. Who would wanna be with you? You're just a crazy, middle aged, unemployed woman with a, with a child to support. Why can't our lives just be normal?"

(speaking to her mother after she tried to blame a parking ticket on her wanting ice-cream which she did not request)"

"You know what? I'm really hungry and it's not like we're not at Denny's. So, if someone comes in and sees me eat duck à l'orange, who knows what effect it'll have on my life? The "a" before l'orange is not spoken and the whole phrase "duck l'orange" is dubbed...???"

"The first three notes just happen to be, Do-Re-Mi. Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol [pronounced So]-La-Ti. Oh, let's see if I can make it easier. [singing] Doe, a deer, a female deer. Ray, a drop of golden sun Me, a name I call myself. Far, a long, long way to run. Sew, a needle pulling thread. La, a note to follow Sol Tea, a drink with jam and bread. That will bring us back to Do..."

"[singing] The hills are alive with the sound of music, With songs they have sung for a thousand years. The hills fill my heart with the sound of music. My heart wants to sing every song it hears! My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds that rise from the lake to the trees. My heart wants to sigh like a chime that flies from a church on a breeze. To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls over stones on its way. To sing through the night like a lark who is learning to pray! I go to the hills when my heart is lonely. I know I will hear what I've heard before. And my heart will be blessed with the sound of music. And I'll sing once more."

"[singing] Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens, Brown paper packages tied up with strings, These are a few of my favorite things."

"[singing] How do you solve a problem like Maria? How do you catch a cloud and pin it down? Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her, many a thing she ought to understand ...How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?"

"[before he sings "Edelweiss" reprise version] My fellow Austrians, I shall not be seeing you again perhaps for a very long time. I would like to sing for you now... a love song. I know you share this love. I pray that you will never let it die. [singing] Edelweiss, Edelweiss, every morning you greet me. Small and white, clean and bright, you look happy to meet me.
