- Aung San Suu Kyi at 2 years old: Daddy, tell me a story.
- Aung San - the Father: Hmm, well, I could tell you about the days when Burma was the Golden Land. Is that the kind of story you want?
- Aung San Suu Kyi at 2 years old: Yes!
- Aung San - the Father: Once upon a time, Burma was a beautiful country blessed with great forests of teak and ebony. This was a time when tigers still prowled the jungles, and elephants roamed the great plains. You'd find sapphires as blue as the bluest sky. And rubies redder than your cheeks. More jewels than a princess like you could ever wish for.
- Aung San Suu Kyi at 2 years old: And then?
- Aung San - the Father: Actually, it's a sad story. Soldiers from a faraway land came and stole all our precious things. That's how our country became so poor.
- Aung San Suu Kyi: It may be a little late to be saying this, but you realize I've never actually spoken in public before.
- Michael Aris: Well, there's no time like the present.
- General Ne Win: [watching a news broadcast on the passing of] One problem solved! Let's quickly fix this other one.
- Aung San Suu Kyi: [Speaking to her children] Good morning. It's time to wake up. Morning. Sleep well?
- Aung San Suu Kyi: Now, I don't want you to be frightened, but this morning we have woken to find the house surrounded by soldiers. Perhaps it will all come to nothing, but in case I am arrested, I have made arrangements for you both to be sent back to England. So I want you to know that whatever happens, you will be well taken care of.
- Aung San Suu Kyi: Alright, hmm?
- Michael Aris: I must say, there's never a dull moment in this family. What on Earth am I going to do with you?
- Aung San Suu Kyi: You may not believe this, but I'm calling you from the British Embassy. I'm free! Tell the boys I'm free again!
- Michael Aris: I can't believe what I'm hearing!
- Aung San Suu Kyi: And all my colleagues have been freed, too.
- Michael Aris: If I get my skates on, we might even be able to be with you as early as tomorrow.
- Aung San Suu Kyi: Yes, yes, tomorrow will be a big day.
- Michael Aris: Oh, it'll be a wonderful day.
- Aung San Suu Kyi: And I'm hoping I'll be hosting the first meeting -- re-unity meeting of the NLD.
- Michael Aris: It'll be one of the happiest days of my life.
- Aung San Suu Kyi: And hopefully it will be tomorrow morning
- Michael Aris: I'll call the airport, first thing. I don't know, with the time difference, it may be the day after, but we'll see you very soon.
- Aung San Suu Kyi: Yes. Because Mikey, the fight goes on!
- Michael Aris: What goes on?
- Aung San Suu Kyi: The fight goes on!
