Heidi Quotes:

Heidi: 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: Tell me 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: But 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: I know what is best for you, Klara.
Klara Sesemann: My papa sent for her! You must wait until he comes home!
Fräulein Rottenmeier: Klara, you'll make yourself ill.
Klara Sesemann: I will! I know I will, if you don't let me keep Heidi!
Heidi: But Klara, I can't stay here!
Fräulein Rottenmeier: Be quiet, both of you.
Fräulein Rottenmeier: You will take that impossible child back.
Dete: You'll have to give me more expense money then, and the fifty marks Herr Sesemann promised.
Fräulein Rottenmeier: You dare to speak to me like that? I'll not give you one penny.
Dete: You'd better. I brought just the kind of child Herr Sesemann asked for. Unless you have your own reasons for not wanting her.
Fräulein Rottenmeier: Get out! And take your wretched niece with you!
Dete: All right, but you'll give me the money, or I'll write Herr Sesemann. You think I don't know what your little game is? A rich widow and his sick child. You don't want Klara to get well, not yet, not until you've convinced him that his little darling can't live without you.
Police Captain: You broke out of the Rittenstrasse jail. You took a sled that did not belong to you. You stole that child!
Heidi: He didn't steal me!
Adolph Kramer, The Grandfather: I tell you, she's mine!
Police Captain: Silence!
Police Lieutenant: Herr Captain, we have found the woman.
Police Captain: Good, bring her in. Is this your child?
Fräulein Rottenmeier: Yes, yes, Herr Captain.
Heidi: No, I'm not!
Police Captain: And is this the man who struck you in the street and took her away from you?
Fräulein Rottenmeier: Yes.
Adolph Kramer, The Grandfather: She's lying! I don't know who she is or what she's doing, but Heidi is mine!
Police Captain: That's enough! You will be held for trial!
Adolph Kramer, The Grandfather: You stupid fools! Can't you see what you're doing?
Police Captain: Lock him up!
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!
Adolph Kramer, The Grandfather: I'll not send Heidi to school.
Pastor Schultz: What will you do with her, then?
Adolph Kramer, The Grandfather: She'll thrive up here in the mountains with the goats and the birds.
Pastor Schultz: What will she learn from them?
Adolph Kramer, The Grandfather: She will learn no evil
Pastor Schultz: That's hardly enough schooling for a child.
Adolph Kramer, The Grandfather: I'll teach her all that is necessary.
Pastor Schultz: Then you will teach her religion, too?
Adolph Kramer, The Grandfather: The mountains are the only religion worth having, as I've come to find out.
Pastor Schultz: Come back to Dörfli, neighbor. This is no life for you and the child, at amenity with God and man.
Adolph Kramer, The Grandfather: I know what they think of me in Dörfli, and they know what I think of them. It's better that we keep apart.
Pastor Schultz: I should not like to appeal to the law.
Adolph Kramer, The Grandfather: Heidi will not go to school or church either. That is final.
Pastor Schultz: I'm sorry, neighbor. May God help you.
Adolph Kramer, The Grandfather: And if any man tried to take Heidi away from me, God help him.

Heidi Facts
Marcia Mae Jones received fan mail from disabled children all over the world after playing Klara in this movie.
The movie was filmed during the summer, and Jean Hersholt's heavy costume once caused him to collapse from heat exhaustion.
The scene in which Heidi is suddenly squirted in the face while milking a goat was planned without Shirley Temple's knowledge. A tube of milk was attached to the goat udder where Temple couldn't see it, and when she was squirted, her surprised reaction was genuine.
Marcia Mae Jones was four years older and eighteen inches taller than Shirley Temple when this movie was filmed. Jones later recalled of the scene in which Temple helps her crippled character to walk that if she had really leaned on Temple, she "would have crushed her."
As she had worried about Jane Withers in Bright Eyes three years before, Shirley Temple's mother, Gertrude Temple, worried that Marcia Mae Jones would steal the spotlight from her daughter in this movie. However, Shirley and Marcia Mae worked well with each other and appeared together again in The Little Princess.
