- Klara: We'll have school together.
- Heidi: School?
- Rottenmeier: Oh yes, you must learn how to read, everyone does.
- [Heidi can finally hear the lady of the mountain]
- Heidi: I can hear her Peter, the lady of the mountain I can finally hear her.
- [Klara panics when Heidi talks about going back to the mountains]
- Klara: No Heidi! This is your home now! You can't talk about leaving, do you hear me you mustn't!
- [Heidi sees her grandfather after a long time]
- Heidi: Grandfather it's me Heidi. You didn't forget me did you?
- [Heidi's grandfather says nothing and walks out to the barn]
- Heidi: Klara I made a promise to Grandmother before she died. I didn't even know what it meant. Not then, but now I do. This is my home Klara, this is where I belong.
- Rottenmeier: [to Heidi] Adelheid, what's wrong, what's the matter with you? Are you trying to wake up the whole household?
- Heidi: She's dying! She's dying!
- [Heidi's grandfather just reads a letter about Heidi from Herr Sesemann]
- Grandfather: You think you can just drop her into my life then take her away again? I won't allow it! She can't stay here.
- Dete: She's got to, she's your granddaughter.
- Grandfather: NO! I don't have a granddaughter, not anymore.
- Dete: Well you can't do this, what am I supposed to tell Herr Sesemann?
- Grandfather: Tell him that this is not a boarding house and tell him to keep his stinking money!
- [Heidi's grandfather throws the money into the fire]
- Dete: Oh my God! What are you doing? You fool! You stupid old fool!
- [Dete gets the money out of the fire]
- [first lines]
- Grandfather: Pull it back. No, no! Not that way.
- John: I spoke with Hans about the lambs. He'll sell cheap.
- Grandfather: Do we have to talk about this again?
- John: Why won't you just listen to me?
- Grandfather: I told you before I'm not interested. Quit harping on it, John, leave it.
- John: We can't keep going the same way just because you're too stubborn to change. We need those lambs.
- Grandfather: No!
- John: Why not?
- Grandfather: Because this place is for goats like it's always been. I don't want any sheep up here.
- John: What about me, what I want?
- Grandfather: Your turn will come soon enough, and you'll do whatever you want.
- John: I've got Adelheid to think of, and the baby. I can't wait.
- Grandfather: Meaning?
- John: Meaning. I'm your son, and it's time you listen to me.
- Grandfather: No, you listen to me, boy! This place is mine, not yours, not yet, and as long as it's mine, I decide! ME!
- [prepares to strike him with a stick and he blocked him]
- Adelheid: John, no! Don't!
