Police Captain
- 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!
- Adolph Kramer, The Grandfather: You can't! You're not going to take her away from me again!
- Heidi: No! No! You mustn't take him away! He's telling the truth! He is my grandfather! My really and truly grandfather! Please! Please, let him go!
- Fräulein Rottenmeier: Come, Adelheid! Don't be hysterical!
- Heidi: Grandfather!
- Police Captain: You will be needed for the trial. You may take your child home.
- Heidi: I am not her child! She's a bad lady! She tried to sell me to gypsies! Please. Please, let the Grandfather take me home. He didn't mean to do anything bad. I'll work hard and pay back for everything he broke. So will Swanli and Bearli.
- Fräulein Rottenmeier: Pay no attention to her. She'll be all right when I get her to bed.
- Heidi: I won't go with her! She broke my snowstorm and sent my Aunt Dete away so she couldn't take me home to the mountains! If you don't believe me, just ask Herr Sesemann. He'll tell you the truth.
- Police Captain: Herr Sesemann? What has Herr Sesemann to do with this?
- Fräulein Rottenmeier: Nothing. Nothing at all.
- Heidi: He has, too. Aunt Dete brought me there to play with Klara, and I taught her how to walk.
- Fräulein Rottenmeier: Oh, this is ridiculous. Come along.
- Police Lieutenant: Now, just a minute.
- Police Captain: Well now, lieutenant?
- Police Lieutenant: Perhaps we'd better send for Herr Sesemann.
- Fräulein Rottenmeier: Oh! Absurd! We... Well, we visited the Sesemann house tonight. Christmas, you know. My sister's governess there. It would be highly improper to disturb Herr Sesemann at this hour.
- Police Lieutenant: I think you'd better wait until we hear what Herr Sesemann's got to say.
- Heidi: Grandfather! Grandfather!
