Mother: Come with me. Quickly, quickly. I have a place you can hide. Slowly, slowly
Herr Zeller: Open this gate!
Sister Berthe: Good evening
Herr Zeller: Hurry up, woman. Two men in there! Six of you, fan out and cover the yard. You two, cover the corridor
[scene 57]
Maria: Oh, Reverend Mother, we didn’t realize we’d put the abbey in this danger
Mother: No, Maria, it was right for you to come here
Georg: We thought we might borrow your caretaker’s car
Mother: I’m afraid our car will do you no good now. I’ve been listening to the wireless, the borders have just been closed
Georg: All right, the borders are closed then we’ll drive up into the hills and go over those mountains on foot
Maria: The children?
Georg: We’ll help them. They’ll be all right.
Friedrich: We can do it without help, father
Mother: Maria, you will not be alone. Remember: “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help” [Psalm 121:1]
Maria: Yes, Mother
Marta: I’m scared
Brigitta: Me too
Mother: God be with you
Gretl: Mother
Maria: Yes
Gretl: Would it help if sang about our favorite things?
Maria: No, darling. This is one time it would not help. You must be very quiet. Hold tight to me
[scene 58]
Lieutenant: Come on, let’s try the roof
Liesl: Rolf, please
Georg: No, wait. Maria, children
Rolf: It’s you we want, not them
Georg: Put that down
Rolf: Not another move or I’ll-I’ll shoot
Georg: You’re only a boy. You don’t really belong to them
Rolf: Stay where you are
Georg: Come away with us, before it’s too late
Rolf: Not another step. I’ll kill you
Georg: You give that to me, Rolf
Rolf: Did you hear me? I’ll kill you
Georg: Rolf. You’ll never be one of them
Rolf: Lieutenant, Lieutenant, they’re here, they’re here, Lieutenant
Sister Margaretta: Reverend Mother, I have sinned
Sister Berthe: I, too, Reverend Mother
Mother: What is this sin my children?

Pictures of the Rossfeld Crest at the end of the movie. The one day I had bad weather--too bad because it would have been spectacular. The one on the left is in the direction the family was walking in the last scene.
The Untersberg as seen from the Eagle's Nest, not far from Rossfeld and the very last scene in the movie.
