Heidi Page #4

This is not the zoo!

You'd make

a very nice schoolteacher.

She wants you to name

the principal rivers of Europe.

I'm afraid that's too hard.

Can't you ask me something easier?

If you young ladies have finished with

you vulgar display of lack of restraint...

we will begin our lessons.

Andrews! Andrews!

Help! Help!

Did you call?

Take that thing

out of here!

My word. A gorilla!

Well, don't stand there

fiddle-faddy.

Take that beast out of here!

This is no laughing matter!

Yes, uh, scat,!

Do you mind? Scat,!

Aah!

Get him off!.

Get him off!.

Oh, oh, oh!

- Oh, I'm most awfully sorry. This is most undignified.

- How dare you!

This is really not my fault.

Can I help you up at all? There we go!

Well!

Get him out ofhere,!

Oh, my God!

You might try putting

salt on her tail.

- Ah, what we need is strategy.

- Can I get it for you?

No, thank you.

I think I've got it.

Now the rest of you draw fire.

I'll attack from the rear.

Come here, little monkey!

come here,!

come,! come,!

- Come on! Come on!

- Here, monkey!

This has gone far enough!

Come on in.

Louise! Louise!

- She'll come down now. Here's your papa.

- Come, Louise.

Better get out quickly

before she finds her tongue.

- Here you are.

- What's the matter with you?

- Who let that beast in?

- I did.

- But she was so cold out in the snow.

- That's no concern of ours.

Please, Fraulein, it was

my fault as much as hers.

Such conduct is inexcusable!

She shall be punished severely!

Don't you touch her!

I'll write Papa!

Oh, I'm sorry, dear.

Don't excite yourself.

I'd forgotten it might upset you.

Adelheid, you shall spend

the rest of the day in your room.

I can't do that.

Aunt Dete is going to take me home.

Your aunt went away

this morning.

She... went away?

But she's coming back.

- No, she's not. I discharged her.

- But she's got to take me home!

I'm afraid not.

She cares nothing about you.

- She told me to sell you to the Gypsies.

- Oh, Fraulein, don't.

I doubt whether you will

ever see your Aunt Dete again.

- What does this mean?

- You mustn't stop me!

What have you got

in that hat?

- Oh. So you were running away.

- I wasn't running away.

I was just

going home by myself.

- Andrews, throw these rolls in the dustbin.

- Oh, no.

They're for the grandmother.

She can't eat her black bread.

Throw that wretched hat

in the dustbin too.

Oh, no. Not my hat.

I need that to go home.

That is all, Andrews.

If you stop me, I'll run away again!

I can't stay here!

There aren't any pine trees

or any mountains!

The grandfather doesn't

know where I am!

- You've got to let me go!

- Stop this nonsense!

You're not going home

until I send you!

Now you march upstairs!

You leave your room again

today, you'll be whipped!

Come on, little fraulein.

Keep the chin up.

Here's your precious bonnet.

Don't you think we ought to put it

under the bed to avoid the dustbin?

Try and cheer her up,

dear, will you?

Oh, Heidi, I-

I didn't know you wanted

to go home so much.

But you mustn't

run away again.

- Promise you won't.

- Oh, no. I couldn't promise.

You must, Heidi.

Papa's coming home

for Christmas.

That's only two weeks more.

If- If you still

feel homesick then...

I'll ask him

to send you back.

Are you sure he will?

Oh, yes.

He'll do it for me.

I won't run away.

I promise.

Come in.

I'm all new

to meet Klara's papa.

And, I must say, very impressive.

And just look at this!

I was hoping for a new hat.

But I'm not going

to wear my new clothes...

- when I go home tonight.

- No?

The grandfather

might not know me.

You're going to leave us

tonight, are you?

Yes. Klara's gonna ask

her papa to send me.

He'll be here in a few moments, and I've

come to tell you that when you meet him...

you're to say, "How do

you do, gracious sir?"

- And make him a little curtsy.

- What's that?

Well, it's uh-

That's a funny way

to say how do you do.

I daresay, but don't you think

you ought to practice it?

How do you do,

gracious sir?

Yes, I think

that ought to do.

A merry Christmas

to you, sir.

- Merry Christmas to you, Andrews.

- Thank you, sir.

- Everything all right?

- Oh, yes, sir. Quite all right.

Quite all right.

- Merry Christmas, Karl.

- Merry Christmas to you, sir.

Welcome, Herr Sesemann.

Oh, thank you,

Fraulein Rottenmeier.

- How is Klara?

- As well as may be expected...

considering what

we've been through.

I didn't want

to disturb you by writing...

- but the child Dete brought is impossible.

- Indeed!

Her manners are dreadful, and she excites

Klara to do things beyond her strength.

I've been seriously worried.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Why didn't you send the girl away?

Klara took an absurd fancy

to the child...

and I hadn't

the heart to cross her.

You know I'm foolishly fond

of dear Klara.

But I hope you'll act immediately

for the sake of Klara's health.

- Papa, Papa, I'm waiting,!

- Coming, dear.

We will discuss this later, Fraulein.

- Oh, Papa, I'm so glad to see you.

- Oh, darling.

Klara, what has happened?

I expected-

That is, Fraulein told me-

But you haven't looked so well

since your accident.

Of course.

Because I've been so happy.

- It's Heidi. My little companion.

- Heidi?

Thank you a thousand times

for letting me have her.

But Fraulein seems to think

she excites you beyond your strength.

I like to be excited, and she makes

something funny happen all the time.

Oh, Papa, she's

the dearest little thing.

Well, my darling, something

has had an amazing effect on you.

I didn't have much

to look forward to before.

Now when I wake up,

I think...

"I'm going to spend

the day with Heidi!"

I don't see why

Fraulein doesn't like her.

Nor I. It's very odd.

This, sir, is Fraulein Heidi.

How do you do, Heidi?

How do you do, Sir Gracious?

I didn't do it very well.

Shall I try it again?

I don't think that

could be improved upon.

We're going in to the

Christmas tree in a minute.

You'll never guess

what your present is, will he, Heidi?

Let me see. Is it animal,

vegetable or mineral?

Well, I suppose

it's sort of animal.

I know. It's a Shetland pony.

We're ready for the

ceremony, Herr Sesemann.

Come on, Sir Gracious!

Here we go.

Remember, don't excite yourself.

You'll tire easily.

Yes, Fraulein.
