Quote #7
ANNE'S VOICE: Mr. Dussel wants to get back to his dentist's drill. He's afraid he's losing his touch. (1.4)
Actually, Mr. Dussel's probably more afraid he'll never get to be a dentist again.
Quote #8
there is a sudden crash of something falling below. They all freeze in horror, motionless. straining to hear. (1.5)
Sounds from down below in the empty office make everyone nearly wet their pants. Is it the Nazis, the Green Police, or even something worse?
Quote #9
ANNE: I'm a terrible coward… I think I've conquered my fear… I think I'm really grown up… and then something happens… and I run to you like a baby. (1.4)
Anne's confession to her father about being afraid of the Nazis has us almost in tears. Conquering our fears is just one of the ways we have to grow up. Hers seems singularly understandable, though.
