Quote #7

MR. DUSSEL: Why is it that every grownup thinks he knows the way to bring up children? (1.3)

Fact: Mr. Dussel would make an awful parent. It's interesting then how he consistently tells Anne how she should act and what she should go do with herself.

Quote #8

ANNE'S VOICE: There is one great change… A change in myself. I think that what is happening to me is so wonderful… not only what can be seen, but what is taking place inside. (2.1)

It's time to show Anne that movie we all get to watch in sixth grade about the birds and the bees—oh, and the really embarrassing one about changing body parts. It's a good thing that Anne thinks it's the most magical time in her life.

Quote #9

MR. KRALER: But the children…?
MR. FRANK: What they'd imagine would be worse than any reality. (2.1)

Mr. Frank isn't down with keeping the truth from the kiddos. He feels they have a right to know. The truth is less strange than fiction in his opinion.
