Quotes 

• Andrews, the Butler : [upon seeing a monkey]  My word, a gorilla!

• Klara Sesemann : Andrews, what is she like?

  Andrews, the Butler : Highly intelligent. Don't be mislead by the hat.

• Heidi : I'm afraid the Grandfather will be worried. He didn't know I was going away, so I must go back tomorrow.

  Klara Sesemann : Didn't Dete tell you?

  Heidi : What?

  Klara Sesemann : That you're to live here with me.

  Heidi : No, she didn't tell me.

  Klara Sesemann : You see, my mama's dead, and my papa's business keeps him in Paris most of the time, and I haven't anyone to play with.

  Heidi : I can't live here! I'm going back to the Grandfather right away!

  Fräulein Rottenmeier : Indeed you are.

  Klara Sesemann : No! I like her!

  Fräulein Rottenmeier : Andrews will take you home in the morning.

  Klara Sesemann : No! I want her to stay!

  Fräulein Rottenmeier : That is for ME to decide. I know what is best for you, Klara.

  Klara Sesemann : No! No! Papa sent for her and you've got to wait till he comes home!

  Fräulein Rottenmeier : Klara, you're not strong enough for this excitement. You'll make yourself ill.

  Klara Sesemann : YES, I WILL! I KNOW I WILL IF YOU DON'T LET ME KEEP HEIDI!

  Heidi : But, Klara, I can't stay!

  Fräulein Rottenmeier : Quiet, dear. Quiet. Remember what a sick little girl you are.

  Klara Sesemann : You DO want me to get well, don't you, Fraulein?

  Fräulein Rottenmeier : How can you ask?

  Klara Sesemann : Then please let me keep Heidi!

  Fräulein Rottenmeier : Very well. For the present.

  Heidi : You can't keep me here! The Grandfather's waiting! He doesn't know where I am!

  [Andrews enters] 

  Andrews, the Butler : Dinner is served.

  Klara Sesemann : You'll like it here, Heidi. We'll have such a good time. And Fraulein can send word back to your grandfather.

  Heidi : No, no! Aunt Dete must take me home!

  Fräulein Rottenmeier : Dinner is waiting. We will attend to that in the morning.

  Heidi : If it's all right, then I can go?

  Fräulein Rottenmeier : I said in the morning, Adelheid.

• Andrews, the Butler : [indicating Heidi]  Where did you pick up THAT?

  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. Hmm, quite a personage, under that extraordinary hat.

• Andrews, the Butler : This, sir, is Fräulein Heidi.

  Sesemann : How do you do, Heidi?

  Heidi : How do you do, Sir Gracious?

  [falls trying to curtsy] 

  Heidi : I didn't do it very well. Shall I try it again?

  Sesemann : No, I don't think that could be improved upon.

• [Heidi has let the organ grinder's monkey into the house - the organ grinder appears at the door] 

  Organ Grinder : I want Louise!

  Andrews, the Butler : You want what?

  Organ Grinder : Louise! My monkey!

  Andrews, the Butler : Monkey? You've been misinformed. This is not the zoo!

• 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 so? 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 : Ah, what we need is strategy.

  Heidi : Can I get it for you?
