Ilse Schmidt: Maria

Quotes 

• Maria : [had been griping about her pregnancy making her a fat old hippopotamus]  Sanna! You're not listening!

  Sanna van Elst : Maria... What's it like... with a man?

  Maria : It had white walls and rose bushes in the garden, and...

  Sanna van Elst : Maria, tell me...! Men are so big... and heavy.

  [shakes her head] 

  Sanna van Elst : I wouldn't be able to breathe, I'm sure I wouldn't...

  Maria : [raises her eyes]  Don't be silly! Of course you...

  [looks at Sanna sharply:] 

  Maria : Does Henk have anything to do with these questions?

  [no answer from the young girl, just a pained expression] 

  Maria : Sanna!

  Sanna van Elst : Yes.

  Maria : He didn't actually kiss you?

  Sanna van Elst : He didn't ask.

  Maria : Did you do anything else?

  Sanna van Elst : Put his arms around me.

  Maria : And then?

  Sanna van Elst : Nothing. We came back.

• Maria : [as her young friend starts disrobing in the stream]  Sanna... what are you doing?

  Sanna van Elst : Swimming.

  Maria : Swimming?

  Sanna van Elst : Yeah. Charles and me always used to swim here.

  Maria : Charles? You didn't!

  Sanna van Elst : He didn't care. Once when we were swimming, all his friends came along too.

  Maria : You didn't mind?

  Sanna van Elst : I didn't have anything to show then.

  [camera only shows her bare feet stepping out of her discarded clothes] 

• Pte. Stan Archer : [outside the barricade, rogue pretending:]  I'm sorry to disturb you so late, Mum. I'm afraid I've had to shoot my two men. You might have heard the shots. And I've lost my way.

  Maria : [inside, Ma Van Elst tries to contain Maria]  But it's the officer!

  Ma van Elst : Don't...!

  Pte. Stan Archer : All I need for the night is a little food...

  Pte. Watts : And the little *girl!* Give us the girl, Granny!

  Pte. Stan Archer : Yeah, Grandma! You can keep the pregnant one for yourself!

  [boisterous laughter as they try to force down the door]
