  Margot Frank : It doesn't matter anymore.

  Anne Frank : No! You can't leave me here.

  Margot Frank : Tell me a story, Anne. I used to love your stories.

  Anne Frank : Pim's stories were always much better than mine. Poor Pim.

  Margot Frank : But you're still going to be a writer though, aren't you? And he'd like that. Do you remember how we talked about it? About - about what we were going to do, after the war?

  Anne Frank : And what were you going to be?

  Margot Frank : I can't - I can't remember.

  Anne Frank : Yes, you can. You have to! You wanted to be a nurse. That's what you told me.

  Margot Frank : That's right. A nurse. A nurse in - in Palestine.

  Anne Frank : I want to be a champion skater, and a writer. I want my picture in all the magazines. Maybe I'll be a movie star. I want to be different from all the other girls.

• Anne Frank : When we're liberated I'm going to get all the paper I can find and start my stories over again. Did I tell you I was working on a novel?

  Peter van Pels : No. I don't think so.

  Anne Frank : Well I was. I didn't know how to finish it but now I do. I can't wait to get started again. It's going to be a romance, but not sentimental, mind you. I've grown too old for that. Do you remember how you told me once, how you were ashamed of being Jewish?

  Peter van Pels : Mm-hmm. The chosen people. Chosen for what? This?

  Anne Frank : We've suffered before and it's only made us stronger. One day people will look up to us.

  Peter van Pels : If there are any of us left.

  Peter van Pels : And which one were you?

  Anne Frank : That one.

  [Anne points to a star] 

  Peter van Pels : Mm-hmm. Well, I should've known.

• Auguste Van Pels : Oh, to find you here after all these weeks - months. Your mother was beside herself with grief when she heard about the transport.

  Margot Frank : She didn't come with you?

  Peter van Pels : Well, you'll just have to believe me then.

• Anne Frank : I hate them. The Germans. I wish they were dead. They won't stop until they've killed all the Jews!

  Otto Frank : Don't say that. There are good people and there are bad people, it doesn't matter where they come from. Miep and Mr. Klieman are Austrian, just like Hitler. Do you want them to die as well?

  Anne Frank : No.
