Heidi (1937)

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.

Dete: I'm Dete, sister of Gretchen, who married your son Tobias. I've brought their orphan to live with you. I've taken care of her for six years, but I've got a job in Frankfurt now, with a rich family, and I can't be bothered with her any more. I know you hated Tobias and Gretchen, but you've got to take their daughter just the same.
Adolph Kramer, The Grandfather: Get out!
Dete: Here she is, her name's Heidi.
[Dete leaves]
Heidi: How do you do, Grandfather? I'm very glad to see you.

Heidi: [Church bells chiming] I like to hear the church bells, don't you, Grandfather?
Adolph Kramer, The Grandfather: Get to bed.
Heidi: Shall I say my prayers out here with you?
Adolph Kramer, The Grandfather: I told you to go to bed!
Heidi: Yes, Grandfather. I think I'll go to bed now, Grandfather. Good night!
