Quotes from

Heidi: Are these our goats, Grandfather? What are their names?
Adolph Kramer, The Grandfather: Swanli and Bearli.
Heidi: You don't look much like a swan, and you don't look anything like a bear, but I think you're a beautiful goat. I wonder if you give black milk.
Adolph Kramer, The Grandfather: You can milk Bearli.
Heidi: But I don't know how to milk a goat.
Adolph Kramer, The Grandfather: Then it's time you learned.


[Heidi has let the organ grinder's monkey into the house - the organ grinder appears at the door]
Organ Grinder: I want Louise!
Andrews, the Butler: You want what?
Organ Grinder: Louise! My monkey!
Andrews, the Butler: Monkey? You have been misinformed. This is not the zoo!


Heidi: [Church bells chiming] I like to hear the church bells, don't you, Grandfather?
Adolph Kramer, The Grandfather: Get to bed.
Heidi: Shall I say my prayers out here with you?
Adolph Kramer, The Grandfather: I told you to go to bed!
Heidi: Yes, Grandfather. I think I'll go to bed now, Grandfather. Good night!

Facts about

The scene in which Heidi smuggles a litter of kittens into the house, and the following scene in which Sebastian hides the kittens from Heidi's cat-hating aunt, were in the original book; the scene with the capuchin monkey was written for the film.
The scene in which Heidi is suddenly squirted in the face while milking a goat was planned without Shirley Temple's knowledge. A tube of milk was attached to the goat udder where Temple couldn't see it, and when she was squirted, her surprised reaction was genuine.
A scene in which Heidi teaches Peter to read was cut from the final film.
