Heidi (1937)

Klara Sesemann: Isn't Heidi the funniest little thing? I'm so glad she's going to stay.
Andrews, the Butler: Is she?
Klara Sesemann: Yes, but she doesn't know it. The poor dear thinks she's going home today. But she'll be happier here, don't you think? And I'll have some new dresses made for her.
Andrews, the Butler: Do you think you could manage a new hat?

Andrews, the Butler: Where did you pick up *that*?
[indicating Heidi]
Dete: That is my niece.
Andrews, the Butler: How unfortunate for the poor child.
Heidi: Are you the king here? You look like a king.
Andrews, the Butler: Ah, little Fräulein, if only the rest of the world could see through your eyes. Quite a personage, under that extraordinary hat.

Heidi: Grandfather, I've found my bed. I'll sleep on the hay. I suppose I ought to have a sheet and coverlet.
Heidi: [louder] I say, I suppose I ought to have a sheet and coverlet.
[her grandfather ignores her]
Heidi: Well, I've always had a sheet and coverlet, but if there aren't any, I could sleep under the hay.
