Heidi Page #5

sir, and Fraulein Klara.

A long life

and good health to you both.

- Thank you, Andrews.

- We're very grateful, sir.

- Karl.

- Thank you, sir.

- Fritz.

- Thank you very much, sir.

- Merry Christmas, Frieda.

- Oh, thank you, sir.

We'll wait till

we've had our presents.

He thinks it's going

to be an animal.

- Merry Christmas.

- Merry Christmas to you, sir.

For your Christmas,

Fraulein. And thank you...

for the efficient management

of my household.

Thank you, Herr Sesemann.

I've always felt like a mother to Klara.

Now, Papa,

my present to Heidi first.

- Oh, Klara. Your back.

- Oh.

I forgot.

That one, Papa.

- Happy Christmas to you, my dear.

- Thank you.

To Klara,

from her doting papa.

Turn it upside down,

then right-side up, Heidi.

It's the grandfather's house!

He's bringing in the wood.

Can I keep it for always?

Longer than that.

Oh! Heidi, look!

- Oh!

- It's lovely.

Now it's my turn.

I don't see...

my Shetland pony

around anywhere.

Shall we give him

his present now?

You hold my doll, Fraulein.

Now watch, Papa.

You stand over there.

- Don't be afraid.

- I'm not.

- Klara, stop!

- Wait!

Lean on me

until you get started.

Now, try hard.

Merry Christmas, Papa.

Oh, my darling.

My darling child.

They told me

you might never walk again.

- How did you? How did it happen?

- Heidi taught me.

Heidi-

I was afraid,

but she made me try.

We did a little more

every day.

You dear child,

you've worked a miracle.

Oh, no. It was the grandfather.

Goat Peter said

I'd never learn to read...

but the grandfather said

I could if I wanted to...

and I did.

So I thought Klara

could walk if she wanted to...

and she did.

You've given me the happiest

Christmas of my life.

And I've had a nice

Christmas present too.

Shall I get ready

to go home now?

No. I have another

Christmas present for you-

a home with us

as long as you live.

- No. I couldn't do that.

- Why not?

The grandfather's

been waiting for me...

such a long time.

Oh, Heidi, I hoped

you wouldn't want to go now.

Yes, I'd like to be that...

but I've got to go home.

Papa, I told Heidi you'd

let her go if she wanted to.

But you don't understand, dear.

You'll be my own daughter.

You'll have clothes like Klara's...

everything just like hers...

and grow up to be a great lady.

- Now, wouldn't you like that?

- No, thank you.

I want to go home

to my grandfather.

- I can't let you do that.

- But Klara promised!

- I- - I'm sorry, Heidi.

Someday you'll understand.

Papa, I did promise

you'd send her home.

But dear, you don't know

what her grandfather's like.

Dete told me that he was

a very brutal man...

feared by everyone.

No, Heidi will be

much happier here with us.

You!

You've spoiled everything!

Don't break

my snowstorm!

Fraulein Rottenmeier,!

What is

the meaning of this?

Forgive me, Herr Sesemann,

I- I was beyond myself.

You must realize I cannot

have you longer in my employ.

- Yes, Herr Sesemann.

- I'll give you a month's salary.

You will arrange

to leave tomorrow.

Grandfather.

Grandfather.

I'll never see you again.

- Looking for somebody?

- My granddaughter.

You might find her

at the theater.

Every youngster in town tries

to get there on Christmas day.

Yes. She might be there.

Thank you.

- What is it, Grandpa?

- I'm looking for my granddaughter.

- But you can't go inside.

- I must see if she's here.

Sorry, sir.

The performance is just over.

You better wait over there.

All right.

Santa Claus!

Santa Claus!

- Santa Claus!

- Santa Claus!

Santa Claus!

Oh, Heidi, see the funny

Santa Claus over there?

Where? I can't see.

Papa, please take us

over to see him.

We better not, dear. You've had

too much excitement for one day.

- But Heidi hasn't seen him.

- Never mind. I don't care.

Heidi!

Heidi, where are you?

It's the grandfather

calling me!

It couldn't be

your grandfather, Heidi.

It sounded just like him.

You must be mistaken, dear. Your grandfather

is 100 miles away on his mountain.

I'm almost sure I heard him.

I know it was his voice!

Grandfather! Grandfather!

Where are you?

Heidi! Heidi!

Whoa!

Don't you worry.

That wasn't your grandfather.

Heidi!

Heidi!

- Heidi!

- What do you want?

I thought this

was the sleigh.

It must be the right street.

Heidi!

Schutzmann,

That old fellow is acting very strangely.

I think you'd better keep an eye on him.

Is my granddaughter here?

A child named Heidi.

Your granddaughter?

It isn't likely.

I'll see for myself!.

Come here!

What are you doing here?

I'm looking for my granddaughter.

She may be in this house!

- Come! Come!

- You better come with us.

She's in one of these houses.

I'll not leave till I find her!

- What is this?

- You can't disturb people!

Herr Wachtmeister,

I heard her cry out from the sleigh.

I tell you,

she's in some trouble.

We can't have you beating on

all the doors of Frankfurt at this hour!

- I must find her.

- Of course. Of course.

But she can come

to no harm tonight.

If you're still worried in the morning,

we'll investigate your story.

I tell you,

I must find her tonight!

- Lock him up.

- The cells are full, Herr Wachtmeister.

Naturally, naturally.

Christmas night.

- Put him in the detention room then.

- But, Herr Wachtmeister-

Take him away.

Stop that.

Christmas comes

but once a year

Ja, and with it

comes too much beer.

christmas comes

but once a year

With it comes

too much beer

Heidi. Get up.

And be very quiet.

Why? What's the matter?

We're going away.

Oh, is it morning already,

and you're going to take me home?

Yes, that's it.

We're going home.

But I thought Andrews

was going to take me.

Shh. He can't. You're to go

with me. Now dress quickly.

If You are

a just and merciful God...

then help me...

in this hour in my need.

Hurry up!

But first I must go and say good-bye

to Klara and her papa.

No, you can't disturb them so early.

I said good-bye for you.

Oh, wait. I forgot.

Don't do that again!

Heidi! Heidi!

I'll put a stop to that.

Ah, let the poor chap

enjoy his Christmas.

Why, it isn't

morning at all.

- It's still night.

- Shh! It's a long way.

You've got to catch

an early train.

- This isn't the right way!

- I know what I'm doing!

I don't think I'll go with you.

I'll wait for Andrews.

He will have to find you first.

Let me go!

Let me go!

- This is the child.

- Ah.

Nice little girl.

Let me go!

I want my grandfather!

- You'll never see your grandfather again.

- Come on!

Come on.

Ayyy!

- Heidi! Heidi!

- Grandfather,! Grandfather,!

Grandfather!

Grandfather!

- Heidi!

- Grandfather,!

Grandfather,

she's hurting me!

Grandfather,

take me home!

What happened?

What's the matter?

That old man stole my child.

Hey, you! Stop!

Stop!

- They've stolen my sled.

- Who owns this one?

- I do.

- Get in, and follow that man.

- What happened?

- Stolen sleigh!

Follow that man

with the child!
