Quote 1
MRS. VAN DAAN: Something's happened to them. (1.2)
Right away, Mrs. Van Daan proves she's a worrier. She's got pretty good justification too. The Green Police could've easily picked up Anne's family on their walk over to the Annex.

Quote 3
MRS. VAN DAAN: What kind of a Jew are you that you don't know Hanukah? (1.5)
Mrs. Van Daan jokingly asks Mr. Dussel how he can know about St. Nicholas Day but not his own religious holiday of Hanukah. Maybe he missed the memo?
