Peter the Goat Boy: Everybody knows you can't turn your back on Old Turk.
Heidi: Well, Old Turk isn't much of a gentleman. What's your name?
Peter the Goat Boy: I'm Peter, the goat general. Who are you?
Heidi: I'm Heidi, and I'm going to live with Adolph Kramer, my grandfather.
Peter the Goat Boy: Live with him? Aren't you scared to?
Heidi: Why should I be afraid of my grandfather?
Peter the Goat Boy: You'll find out. If ever he gets good and mad at you, he'll probably cut your head off, like this.
Heidi: Oh.

Dete: I'm Dete, the sister of Gretchen, who married your son Tobias. I've brought their orphan to live with you. I've taken care of her for six years, but I've got a job in Frankfurt now, rich family, and I can't be bothered with her any more. I know you hated Tobias and Gretchen, but you've got to take their daughter just the same.
Adolph Kramer, The Grandfather: Get out of here!
Dete: Here she is. Her name's Heidi.
[Dete leaves]
Heidi: How do you do, Grandfather? I'm very glad to see you.
