347. Hello?Copy !req
348. Hello?Copy !req
349. Anybody home?Copy !req
350. Well, the place looks deserted.Copy !req
351. I guess we'd better get outta here.Copy !req
352. Step inside my house...Copy !req
353. Come inside, or go away.Copy !req
354. Timothy... remember Timothy.Copy !req
355. Why have you come?Copy !req

360. Yes... I would move,Copy !req
361. but Timothy has pneumonia.Copy !req
362. He can't even get out of bed.Copy !req
363. You must move it to a place
where it will be safe from the plow.Copy !req
364. Please... there must be another way.Copy !req
365. There is no other way.Copy !req
366. I must bid you good evening, Mrs...?Copy !req

368. Brisby? Mrs. Jonathan Brisby?Copy !req
369. Why yes! He was my husband!Copy !req
370. But... how do you know about him?Copy !req
371. That is not important.Copy !req
372. I will say this...Copy !req
373. his name is not unknown in these woods.Copy !req
374. Please sir...Copy !req
375. I'll do anything to save Timmy.Copy !req
376. Anything.Copy !req
377. There is a way.Copy !req
378. Go to the rats.Copy !req
379. But I don't know any rats!Copy !req
380. In the rosebush.Copy !req
381. Oh yes...Copy !req
382. near the farmhouse.Copy !req
383. Go there.Copy !req
384. Ask for Nicodemus.Copy !req
385. Nicodemus?Copy !req
386. But how can they help?Copy !req
387. They must move your house
to the lee of the stone.Copy !req
388. No rat could move my house! It's...Copy !req
389. They have ways!Copy !req
390. I don't understand...Copy !req
391. but I will do as you say.Copy !req
392. It is night. I must go.Copy !req

403. I'm trying to find the entrance,Copy !req
404. and these thorns are very dense.Copy !req
405. Here, let me help you...Copy !req
406. Will you be quiet?Copy !req
407. They'll hear you!Copy !req
408. I've got to find this NicodemusCopy !req
409. before the farmer gets that tractor fixed!Copy !req
410. I'll keep a lookout!Copy !req
411. Will you...! You're going to get us both killed!Copy !req
412. I don't see anybody coming.Copy !req
413. If you really wanted to help me,Copy !req
414. you'd go away.Copy !req
415. Why that's very brave of you, Mrs. BrizCopy !req
416. but I can't... I can't leave you here alone.Copy !req
417. Why, if anything were to happen,Copy !req
418. think... think of the children!Copy !req
419. That's it!Copy !req
420. huh? That's what?Copy !req
421. JeremyCopy !req

426. Oh, would you?Copy !req

435. Good luck with the rats!Copy !req
436. Where do you live?Copy !req
437. By that big stone in the garden.Copy !req
438. Just stay out of trouble?Copy !req

440. I love kids and kids love me.Copy !req
441. Kids love me and I love kidsCopy !req
442. Dragon! You lazy kitty!Copy !req

468. The Owl? You say you saw... the Owl?Copy !req
469. Yes, and he said I should ask for Nicodemus.Copy !req
470. Er, yes, I know Nicodemus.Copy !req
471. He lives with the rats.Copy !req
472. More specifically, he is the leader of the rats.Copy !req
473. You know him?Copy !req
474. No one has ever seen the Owl...Copy !req
475. and lived to tell about it!Copy !req
476. Please... could you take me to see Nicodemus?Copy !req
477. Well...Copy !req
478. ye-e-ess, yes.Copy !req
479. But for your sake, I hope you're telling the truth!Copy !req
480. Come on.Copy !req
481. What about the large rat at the entrance?Copy !req
482. I can't go back there. I can't.Copy !req
483. Oh, that's just Brutus. Follow me.Copy !req
484. Well? Come on!Copy !req
485. Jonathan, your wife has come at last.Copy !req
486. Perhaps now I can repay you
for your kindness to me.Copy !req
487. Yet Mrs. Brisby, who served the rats
of NIMH far more than we herCopy !req
488. Jenner I fear may do her harm...Copy !req
489. He is consumed by a lust for power.Copy !req
490. Thus far, the amulet has remained safely hidden.Copy !req
491. But if he finds it...Copy !req
492. heaven help us.Copy !req
493. Forgive me, I just noticed you're limping.Copy !req
494. That's none of your affair.Copy !req
495. Now, to what you are
about to see and hearCopy !req
496. you must swear absolute secrecy.Copy !req
497. - Yes, I unders...
- Swear it!Copy !req
498. I promise.Copy !req
499. If any of this ever got outCopy !req
500. we'd have humankind bulldozing
their way down hereCopy !req
501. to blow the place apart.Copy !req
502. Is it always so dark?Copy !req
503. We're down three feet.Copy !req
504. It's the most beautiful sight I've ever seen!Copy !req
505. Reveal thy name!Copy !req
506. Justin, you featherhead!Copy !req
507. Get your hands off me!Copy !req
508. Ok, ok, just a joke! I didn't mean any harm.Copy !req
509. The meeting's already in progress.Copy !req
510. What's this all about?Copy !req
511. Who, may I ask?Copy !req
512. Yes, yes, she can be trusted.Copy !req
513. This is no stranger.Copy !req
514. My dear, may I present Justin,Copy !req
515. the Captain of the Guard.Copy !req
516. Justin, Mrs. Brisby.Copy !req
517. Not... Mrs. Jonathan Brisby!Copy !req
518. Yes, the same.Copy !req
519. It is an honor and a privilege, milady.Copy !req
520. If we could dispense with the formalities...?Copy !req
521. How beautiful...Copy !req
522. Ma'am?Copy !req
523. Oh! Er... the lights! They're quite lovely.Copy !req
524. Yes, they are.Copy !req
525. We've had electricity for four years now.Copy !req
526. Five.Copy !req
527. Jonathan often spoke of electricity.Copy !req
528. But you see, our shame is that we're stealing itCopy !req
529. from Farmer Fitzgibbons.Copy !req
530. Stealing?Copy !req
531. All of that is going to change.Copy !req
532. He means we're working on a Plan.Copy !req
533. I mean, that we have a Plan.Copy !req
534. And this stealing will stop.Copy !req
535. Now...Copy !req
536. Oh yes. Why did you send for me?Copy !req
537. It's Jenner. He's at it again.Copy !req
538. Hmmm. There blows an ill wind.Copy !req
539. He's before the Council now.Copy !req
540. This time he's attacking Nicodemus openly.Copy !req
541. And the Plan, no doubt.Copy !req
542. Nothing will come of it. It'll pass.Copy !req
543. Beware, boy, he's dangerous.Copy !req
544. Jenner will be the undoing of the Rats of NIMH.Copy !req
545. I'm sorry to come here at such a bad time.Copy !req
546. I suppose...Copy !req
547. No, sweet lady, you are welcome here.Copy !req
548. We tend to take ourselves a bit too seriously.Copy !req
549. The Plan is nothing but folly!Copy !req
550. A doddering old fool's fantasy!Copy !req
551. Nicodemus would have us destroy this colonyCopy !req
552. only to lead us to starvation in some wilderness!Copy !req
553. Ahem. Good ol' Jenner.Copy !req
554. Wait. Listen.Copy !req
555. Moving to Thorn Valley is a good plan!Copy !req
556. Fie! We have everything we need right here!Copy !req
557. You mean we steal everything we need.Copy !req
558. Well come on, you suspicious old goat!Copy !req
559. If we stay here, humans are
bound to discover us.Copy !req
560. They'd destroy us on the spot!Copy !req
561. I agree!Copy !req
562. He's right. We'll be killed.Copy !req
563. Not if we got them first!Copy !req
564. He means war!Copy !req
565. We'd be outnumbered.Copy !req
566. There are too many of them!Copy !req
567. Hear me!Copy !req
568. The Thorn Valley Plan is the aspiration
of idiots and dreamers!Copy !req
569. We...Copy !req
570. We were just talking about you.Copy !req
571. That's refreshing, JennerCopy !req
572. Usually you're screaming about us.Copy !req
573. Who is that?Copy !req
574. You know the rulesCopy !req
575. there are no visitors allowed here.Copy !req
576. May I present Mrs. Jonathan Brisby.Copy !req
577. Jonathan Brisby is dead!Copy !req
578. She's not one of us.Copy !req
579. What's the meaning of this?Copy !req
580. Send her away.Copy !req
581. Let's get back to business!Copy !req
582. Wait, wait!Copy !req
583. She has been to see the Great Owl!Copy !req
584. He has told her that we could move
the Brisby home to safety.Copy !req
585. Her home was Jonathan's home.Copy !req
586. We have urgent problems of our own.Copy !req
587. Let the lower creatures fend for themselves!Copy !req
588. Order, order!Copy !req
589. Wait, my friend. I smell an opportunity.Copy !req
590. What?Copy !req
591. Manoeuvers of this nature are dangerous.Copy !req
592. Accidents could happen...Copy !req
593. Accidents?Copy !req
594. Jenner?Copy !req
595. I'll explain later.Copy !req
596. Mrs. Brisby! A thousand pardons, my dear!Copy !req
597. Forgive the ill temper of my colleague.Copy !req
598. It would be an honor to assist
Jonathan's widow in any way.Copy !req
599. We are but your humble servants.Copy !req
600. Th... thank-you.Copy !req
601. I second the motion.Copy !req
602. Hear hear!Copy !req
603. Motion has been moved and seconded.Copy !req
604. Those in favor make a show of hands.Copy !req
605. He's up to something...Copy !req
606. Take Mrs. Brisby to the library.Copy !req
607. - We'll approach Nicodemus when the meeting's over.
- Motion carried.Copy !req
608. Ok now, wait a minuteCopy !req
609. this isn't what you think.Copy !req
610. You don't understand
what I'm doing here!Copy !req
611. Think you can come snooping
about looting and pilfering,Copy !req
612. just when everyone's away?Copy !req
613. Well uh... Let me explain about...Copy !req
614. Oh! What a lovely hat you're wearing!Copy !req
615. Don't you sweettalk me!Copy !req
616. I know you're in league with those awful rats!Copy !req
617. Rats? Ummm... what rats?Copy !req
618. Hoodlums, the lot of you!Copy !req
619. Ummmm... why did you say rats?Copy !req
620. You think the world owes you a living, right?Copy !req
621. Right.Copy !req
622. Wrong!Copy !req
623. Wrong! Ohhhh..Copy !req
624. look, nice lady, you're making a mistake!Copy !req
625. The sooner you delinquents learn that
you must earn your own way...Copy !req
626. Wait! Wait, can't we uh...Copy !req
627. Can't we talk this over?Copy !req
628. the sooner, the better.Copy !req
629. You can't leave me like this! There's a ca... ca...Copy !req
630. There's a ca... He's a very big...Copy !req
631. and he might... and he might... mlfffp!Copy !req
632. Good! Good riddance!Copy !req
633. Teresa! Martin!Copy !req
634. That's the least you deserve.Copy !req
635. Auntie?Copy !req
636. There you are!Copy !req
637. Keep an eye on this hooligan.Copy !req
638. Make sure he doesn't get away
until I can fetch help.Copy !req
639. And as for you, you black buzzard.Copy !req
640. I wouldn't try anything!Copy !req
641. I shall return!Copy !req
642. Well, I guess we'd better untie him.Copy !req
643. But Martin...Copy !req
644. Hey, Mom helped a crow in the field
the day before yesterday...Copy !req
645. He's trying to talk!Copy !req
646. He looks like a loony.Copy !req
647. He even took her to see
the... the Great Owl!Copy !req
648. So?Copy !req
649. This could be the same crow!Copy !req
650. That's me all... Whew! I am the crow.Copy !req
651. Untie me quick, I can't stand it!Copy !req
652. What are you doing here?Copy !req
653. Oh, it's a good question, but don't ask.Copy !req
654. The legs... the legs... THE LEGS!Copy !req
655. Aw, the poor turkey fell down.Copy !req
656. I'm not a turkey! Your mother...Copy !req
657. Where's our mother!Copy !req
658. You big buzzard, where's our mother?Copy !req
659. - What have you done with her?
- You'd better tell meCopy !req
660. or I'll tie you back up again!Copy !req
661. The... the rosebush! To... to see the rats!Copy !req
662. Did you take our mother to the rats?Copy !req
663. Well I'm going to go look for her.Copy !req
664. No, no, listen, hold it, waitaminute.Copy !req
665. The rats, they're friendly!Copy !req
666. Good! Tonight... Stay!Copy !req
667. They're coming here to move
your house where it's safe!Copy !req
668. Understand?Copy !req
669. Sta-a-ay...Copy !req
670. The Owl said they're good and smart.Copy !req
671. Get it?Copy !req
672. You're right. He's a loony.Copy !req
673. Oh no... no, don't...Copy !req
674. You must...Copy !req
675. No, don't do this!Copy !req
676. Now don't tire him out.Copy !req
677. No.Copy !req
678. Be brief.Copy !req
679. Yes.Copy !req
680. Say what you want... and leave.Copy !req
681. I won't be a bother.Copy !req
682. Justin bothers him enough
with all his silly nonsense.Copy !req
683. Here we are.Copy !req
684. Thank you, Mr. Ages.Copy !req
685. I don't know what Nicodemus sees in that boy...Copy !req
686. I'll come back for you.Copy !req
687. Brief!Copy !req
688. Brief.Copy !req
689. Come closer, my child.Copy !req
690. Don't be frightened.Copy !req
691. Sir...Copy !req
692. the Great Owl sent me to you.Copy !req
693. Oh, did he?Copy !req
694. He is a dear comrade...Copy !req
695. Closer.Copy !req
696. Ahhh, Mrs. Jonathan Brisby.Copy !req
697. What an honor this is.Copy !req
698. How...Copy !req
699. how is it that everyone knows Jonathan?Copy !req
700. He was a great friend to the Rats of NIMH.Copy !req
701. He himself came from NIMH.Copy !req
702. Your majesty, my family is...Copy !req
703. I know of your needs.Copy !req
704. There is a book there. Read the words.Copy !req
705. I can read, a little.Copy !req
706. Jonathan taught me.Copy !req
707. The children are better...Copy !req
708. than I am...Copy !req
709. ReadCopy !req
710. Jonathan... Brisby... made... possible... the rats
escape... from the t... terrible cruelty of NIMHCopy !req
711. Jonathan?Copy !req
712. He was ki..Copy !req
713. killed today...Copy !req
714. while drugging the farmer's cat, Dragon.Copy !req
715. Oh, I... I never knew...
just what happened.Copy !req
716. Why did he never tell me about any of you?Copy !req
717. Why?Copy !req
718. To answer that, I must tell you about NIMHCopy !req
719. and our Plan.Copy !req
720. Go!Copy !req
721. Look there!Copy !req
722. In the beginning, we were ordinary street rats.Copy !req
723. stealing our daily bread and
living off the efforts of man's work.Copy !req
724. We were captured, put in cagesCopy !req
725. and sent to a place called NIMH.Copy !req
726. There were many animals
there... in cagesCopy !req
727. They were put through the most unspeakable torturesCopy !req
728. to satisfy some scientific curiosity.Copy !req
729. Often at night I would hear
them crying out in anguishCopy !req
730. Twenty rats and eleven mice were given injections.Copy !req
731. our world began changing...Copy !req
732. ThenCopy !req
733. one nightCopy !req
734. I looked upon the words under the cage door...Copy !req
735. and understood them.Copy !req
736. We had become intelligent.Copy !req
737. We could read.Copy !req
738. The miracle was kept secret from the scientists.Copy !req
739. and in the quiet of the nightCopy !req
740. we escaped through the ventilation system.Copy !req
741. The mice were blown awayCopy !req
742. sucked down dark air-shafts to their deaths.Copy !req
743. All except two...Copy !req
744. Jonathan and Mr. Ages.Copy !req
745. We were trapped by a locked door on the roof.Copy !req
746. It was Jonathan who made
possible the unlocking of the door.Copy !req
747. I have a gift. Come.Copy !req
748. Jonathan meant it for you.Copy !req
749. It's so beautiful!Copy !req
750. It sleeps.Copy !req
751. Sleeps?Copy !req
752. Yes.Copy !req
753. When worn by one with a courageous heartCopy !req
754. the Stone glows red.Copy !req
755. It becomes a blinding radiance.Copy !req
756. Courage of the heart is very rare.Copy !req
757. The Stone has a power when it's there.Copy !req
758. Look! An inscription.Copy !req
759. You can... unlock any door...Copy !req
760. if you only have the key.Copy !req
761. Oh, thank you.Copy !req
762. I will treasure it always.Copy !req
763. Jonathan couldn't tell you about NIMHCopy !req
764. because the injections slowed the aging process.Copy !req
765. You see, you would have grown old
while he remained young.Copy !req
766. NicodemusCopy !req
767. The boats are ready and waiting.Copy !req
768. We can leave any time.Copy !req
769. Good.Copy !req
770. My child, shall we journey to your home?Copy !req
771. Sir?Copy !req
772. Tonight we must move your house
to the protected side of the stone.Copy !req
773. The lee of the stone!Copy !req
774. Yes.Copy !req
775. I don't get it, Jenner.Copy !req
776. With Nicodemus out of the wayCopy !req
777. what's to stop us from taking over?Copy !req
778. Jenner, you can't kill Nicodemus!Copy !req
779. No taste for blood, eh?Copy !req
780. They've taken the animal out of you.Copy !req
781. What if we're discovered?Copy !req
782. Ach, listen.Copy !req
783. The Brisby house is a large cement block.Copy !req
784. In the moving, what if it should fall?Copy !req
785. An accident?Copy !req
786. Of course!Copy !req
787. Cut the lines, and the weight of it
will crush his bones!Copy !req
788. It's risky..Copy !req
789. Once rid of Nicodemus, the Plan will die.Copy !req
790. We can stay here as long as we like!Copy !req
791. What... what about Justin?Copy !req
792. Leave him to me...Copy !req
793. Sometimes, when we have a large project
that takes us into the openCopy !req
794. Mr. Ages makes up a sleeping powder to give to Dragon.Copy !req
795. How do you get him to take it?Copy !req
796. Someone must go into the farmhouse kitchenCopy !req
797. and put it in his dish.Copy !req
798. The only way into the kitchenCopy !req
799. is through a tiny hole in the floor.Copy !req
800. Ages tried it yesterday.Copy !req
801. That's how he broke...Copy !req
802. Broke his leg.Copy !req
803. Right.Copy !req
804. That was close.Copy !req
805. What's up there?Copy !req
806. The mill. It's falling apart.Copy !req
807. Hope it stays up thereCopy !req
808. at least until we've done with the Plan.Copy !req
809. Plan... what is the Plan?Copy !req
810. To live without stealing, of course.Copy !req
811. It's wrong to take electricity from the farmer.Copy !req
812. My child, we can no longer live as rats.Copy !req
813. We know too much.Copy !req
814. We're almost there.Copy !req
815. Um... your MajestyCopy !req
816. I should go prepare the children, for tonight.Copy !req
817. We shall wait here until dark...Copy !req
818. Um... About Dragon, maybe...Copy !req
819. Oh nothing. Goodbye!Copy !req
820. I volunteer! For Dragon.Copy !req
821. Oh no, Mrs. Brisby!Copy !req
822. Nicodemus, this is no job for her!Copy !req
823. Please.Copy !req
824. As you wish.Copy !req
825. All right.Copy !req
826. I'll meet you at the west
side of the farmhouse at dusk.Copy !req
827. Thank you.Copy !req
828. Oh I must be crazy.Copy !req
829. Goodbye!Copy !req
830. I must be crazy...Copy !req
831. Excuse me... pardon me.Copy !req
832. Jeremy?Copy !req
833. Shhh! I'm being followedCopy !req
834. Followed?Copy !req
835. Shhh-hhh! There's a crazy lady with a hat!Copy !req
836. She's got big teeth!Copy !req
837. She tied me up! And then I... oh!Copy !req
838. Ooooo! A sparkly!Copy !req
839. What?Copy !req
840. You're wearing a sparkly!Copy !req
841. Can I hold? Oh, please, can I?Copy !req
842. Jeremy, listen...Copy !req
843. I need lots and lots of string.Copy !req
844. Stuh... ring...Copy !req
845. To move the block!Copy !req
846. Move... the block...Copy !req
847. Hey! I got string! I've been saving 'em!Copy !req
848. You do?Copy !req
849. Oh sure, red ones, blue onesCopy !req
850. - green, yellow
- Pay attention!Copy !req
851. Go get all the string you can.Copy !req
852. Ok.Copy !req
853. But that'll take all day!Copy !req
854. Good! Get going!Copy !req
855. I just thought I'd mention in passing...Copy !req
856. I've always wanted a sparkly of my very own.Copy !req
857. Will you get going?Copy !req
858. Sure!Copy !req
859. Uh... Excuse me. Pardon me.Copy !req
860. Bye!Copy !req
861. It won't be long now.Copy !req
862. She's washing the dishes.Copy !req
863. Here's the powder.Copy !req
864. Very.Copy !req
865. Don't be.Copy !req
866. You'll be ok.Copy !req
867. I hope I haven't upset your plans.Copy !req
868. Nonsense!Copy !req
869. What makes you say that?Copy !req
870. I thought I might have caused an argument.Copy !req
871. Oh you mean Jenner.Copy !req
872. No problem.Copy !req
873. Justin?Copy !req
874. I sincerly hope you make it to Thorn Valley.Copy !req
875. We will.Copy !req
876. Shh! Listen.Copy !req
877. Mrs. Fitzgibbons is filling Dragon's bowl.Copy !req
878. Get ready.Copy !req
879. Oh my...Copy !req
880. Better leave that cape.Copy !req
881. Could get caught on something.Copy !req
882. Here's the powder.Copy !req
883. I don't think I can do this!Copy !req
884. Yes you can!Copy !req
885. Now take a deep breath.Copy !req
886. Concentrate on the bowl.Copy !req
887. Don't look at the door!Copy !req
888. Steady...Copy !req
889. Ok Dragon, I'm coming.Copy !req
890. steady...Copy !req
891. There we go.Copy !req
892. Now! Now!Copy !req
893. Coming, coming!Copy !req
894. Get back!Copy !req
895. Mom! Don't let the cat in yetCopy !req
896. I've caught a mouse!Copy !req
897. A mouse?Copy !req
898. Can I keep it? Can I?Copy !req
899. No, Billy. Put it outside.Copy !req
900. Damn!Copy !req
901. Aw Mom, please?Copy !req
902. I can keep it in Porgy's old cage.Copy !req
903. Oh... all right.Copy !req
904. Come on, Dragon.Copy !req
905. I'll have to come back for you later.Copy !req
906. Rats, rats?Copy !req
907. They'll be here any minute...Copy !req
908. to move our house over there by the stone!Copy !req
909. Wrong!Copy !req
910. Actually move it!Copy !req
911. Not while I'm keeping watch!Copy !req
912. Auntie Shrew? I'm not afraid.Copy !req
913. Afraid, child?Copy !req
914. I have no fear of those great hulking beasts.Copy !req
915. And should one of those hairy
barbarians come through that door...Copy !req
916. Oh! The rats!Copy !req
917. I'm coming, I'm coming, hold your horses.Copy !req
918. Hello?Copy !req
919. Who?Copy !req
920. NIMH.Copy !req
921. Oh! Oh yeah, NIMH!Copy !req
922. Yes, yes, I know, you called about the rats...Copy !req
923. Well, I don't know nothing about any special behaviorCopy !req
924. but the traps sure don't work...Copy !req
925. In the morning?Copy !req
926. Suits me fine...Copy !req
927. Oh no, no, you can bulldoze that rosebush right outta thereCopy !req
928. I want those rats exterminated!Copy !req
929. Uh, well, there's no... charge...?Copy !req
930. Good. Ok,Copy !req
931. well, I'll see you tomorrow then...Copy !req
