Quotes
-
Kris Kringle : [to the little girl] Well, young lady, what's your name?
Dutch Girl's Adopted Mother : I'm sorry, she doesn't speak English, she's Dutch. She just came over. She's been living in an orphan's home in Rotterdam ever since... well... We've adopted her. I told her you wouldn't be able to speak to her, but when she saw you in the parade yesterday, she said you *were* Sinterklaas, as she calls you, and you *could* talk to her. Well, I didn't know what to do...
Kris Kringle : [to the little girl] Hallo! Ik ben blij dat je gekomen bent!
[Hello! I'm glad you came by!]
Dutch Girl : [her face lights up] O, U bent Sinterklaas!
[Oh, you are Sinterklaas!]
Kris Kringle : Maar jazeker!
[But of course!]
Dutch Girl : Ik wist 't wel. Ik wist dat U het zou begrijpen!
[I knew it. I knew you would understand!]
Kris Kringle : Natuurlijk! Zeg maar wat je zou willen hebben van Sinterklaas.
[Naturally! Tell me what you would like to have from Sinterklaas]
Dutch Girl : Niks! Ik heb van alles. Ik wil alléén maar bij deze lieve dame zijn.
[Nothing! I have all kind of things. I want only to stay with this lovely lady]
