- Maria and the kids are having a puppet show and singing "The Lonely Goatherd" for an audience of the captain, the baroness, and Max. It's a big hit.
- The puppet show set is a gift from Max. Totally thoughtful gift, right?
- After the show, Max announces he's found his entry for the Salzburg Folk Festival: the von Trapp family.
- Captain von Trapp—who hadn't heard about this scheme prior to this moment—puts his foot down. His family does not sing in public.
- The kids vote on who gets to sing next, and they vote for the captain. He balks at first, but he finally agrees. He sings "Edelweiss."
- The baroness has a great idea afterwards: he should fill the house with music and have a huge party to introduce her to all his friends.
