- Peter: I'll contact the school. I'm certain I can get through from my post.
- Grandfather: Then say I am coming. I'll bring Heidi back myself.
- Peter: Grandfather, no. The country is at war, it's too dangerous.

- Peter: The Italian army has taken over the railroad. You would have to travel by foot.
- Grandfather: Heidi cannot make the journey alone.
- Peter: First, let me contact the school. I'm sure they've made arrangements for their children to travel safely home. And if not, I will go and get her.
