"Anytime that you want to let off steam you can come into my room." "I can get up an awful lot of steam." "It's all right with me." "Do you mean that?" "I said it, didn't I?" "Good night." "Good night." "Good night." "May I come in?" "ANNE:" "No, I'm not dressed yet." "Margot." "Tell me, am I terribly ugly?" "MARGOT:" "Oh, stop fishing." "No, tell me." "Of course you're not."

"Don't shut the door when you go in." "You sound like Mrs. Van Daan." "No, no. I don't mean to suggest anything is wrong." "I only wish you wouldn't expose yourself to criticism." "I'm sorry, Mother." "I'm going to Peter's room." "I'm not going to let Petronella Van Daan spoil our friendship." "Just a moment, Mr. Dussel." "In my day, the boys called on the girls." "EDITH:" "You know how young people are." "Peter's room..." "...is the only place where they can talk." "Talk?" "That's not what they called it when I was a girl." "I'm sorry, Margot, that you have to be the one left out." "l feel so guilty about you." "Why?" "I mean, every time I go into Peter's room I have the feeling that I'm hurting you." "I know if it were me, I'd be desperately jealous." "I am jealous, a little, but not of you and Peter." "I'm...." "l'm only feeling sorry that I haven't anyone with whom to discuss my feelings." "Margot, I won't even" "Listen, you've found a companionship and I want you to enjoy it." "Only, in my heart, I feel I've got a right to share feelings with someone too." "But I'm sure that Peter, that that boy, he could never be that person for me." "[KNOCKING]" "Maybe there's nothing to be jealous about." "Maybe I'm just taking the place of his cat." "Will you please let me in my room?" "ANNE:" "Just a minute, dear Mr. Dussel." "Well, here I go, to run the gauntlet." "Thank you so much." "Look at her." "A lot of good it did me to have a son." "I never see him." "Just a minute, dear." "I'd like to say a few words to my son." "Do you mind?" "Peter, I do not want you staying up till all hours tonight." "You need sleep." "You're a growing boy." "Annie won't stay late." "She's going to bed promptly at 9." "Aren't you, Annie?" "Yes, Mother." "May we go now?" "Listen for the chimes, dear." "Aren't they impossible?" "Treating us as if we're still in the nursery." "Don't let it bother you." "It doesn't bother me." "I suppose you can't really blame them." "They think back to what they were like at our age." "They don't realize how much more advanced we are." "Already I know what I want to do, don't you?" "I want to be a journalist or something." "I love to write." "What do you want to do?" "I know what I'd like right now." "I'd like to go to England and get with the Free Dutch forces." "Peter, you wouldn't try a thing like that." "You'd never make it." "I'd make it." "Only a few of the hundreds that try do." "I know, but I'd like to get in it and hit back." "To just sit here, it's not for me." "You like Margot, don't you?" "Right from the start, you liked her." "Liked her better than me." "l don't know." "lt's all right." "Everyone feels that way." "Margot's so good." "She's sweet and bright and beautiful, and I'm not." "l wouldn't say that." "ANNE:" "Oh, no, I'm not." "I know that." "I know quite well that I'm not a beauty." "I never have been and never shall be." "I don't agree at all." "I think you're pretty." "That's not true." "And another thing." "You've changed." "From the first, I mean." "I have?" "I used to think that you were awful noisy." "And what do you think now, Peter?" "How have I changed?" "Well.. ." ".. .you're quieter." "I'm glad you don't just hate me." "I never said that." "I bet when you get out of here, you'll never think of me again." "That's crazy." "When you get back with all your friends, you're going to say:" ""Now, what did I ever see in that Miss Quack-Quack?"" "l haven't got any friends." "Peter, of course you have." "Everyone has friends." "Not me." "I don't want any." "I get along fine without them." "Does that mean you can get along without me too?" "I think of myself as your friend." "No." "If they were all like you it'd be different." "[explosions IN DISTANCE]" "Peter.. ." "...did you ever kiss a girl?" "Yes." "Once." "Was she pretty?" "The girl you kissed?" "I don't know. I was blindfolded." "It was at a party." "One of those kissing games." "I don't suppose that really counts, does it?" "It didn't with me." "I've been kissed twice." "Once, a man I'd never seen before kissed me on the cheek when he picked me up off the ice." "I was crying." "And the other was a friend of Father's who kissed my hand." "You wouldn't say those counted, would you?" "I wouldn't say so." "I know, almost for certain, Margot would never kiss anyone unless she was engaged to them." "And I'm sure, too, that Mother never touched a man before Father." "But I don't know." "Things are so different now." "What do you think?" "Do you think a girl shouldn't kiss anyone except if she's engaged or something?" "It's so hard to try to think what to do." "Here we are with the whole world falling around our ears and you think well, you don't know what's going to happen tomorrow." "What do you think?" "I suppose it depends on the girl." "With some, no matter what they do, it's wrong." "But others.. ." ".. .it wouldn't necessarily be wrong with them." "[BELL CHIMES] I always thought that" "I think I should go now." "That's right."
