Nicodemus:
"Courage Of The Heart Is Very Rare...The Stone Has A Power When It's There."
Mrs. Brisby:
"The Stone..."
Justin:
"It Was You... You Did It! You Killed Nicodemus. That Was No Accident!"
Jenner:
"Yes! I Killed Him."
Mrs. Brisby:
"I went to see the Great Owl."
Mr. Ages:
"Owl? You say you saw the Owl?"
Mrs. Brisby:
"Yes. He told me to ask for Nicodemus."
Mr. Ages:
"Yes, I know Nicodemus."
Mrs. Brisby:
"He lives with the rats."
Mr. Ages:
"More specifically, he's the leader of the rats."
Mrs. Brisby:
"You know him?"
Mr. Ages:
"[abruptly] "No one has ever seen the Owl! And live to tell about it.""
Great Owl:
"I must bid you good evening, Mrs..."
Mrs. Brisby:
"Mrs. Brisby."
Great Owl:
"Brisby? Mrs. Johnathan Brisby?"
Mrs. Brisby:
"Why, yes. He was my husband. But how did you know about him?"
Great Owl:
""That is not important. I will say this"
Nicodemus:
"Johnathan, wherever you are, your thoughts must comfort her tonight. She will be waiting, and you will not return."
Nicodemus:
"Johnathan, your wife has come at last. Perhaps now I can repay you for your kindness to me, yet Mrs. Brisby may serve the rats of NIMH more than we her. Jenner, I fear, could do her harm. He is consumed by a lust for power. Thus far the amulet has remained safely hidden, but if he finds it... Heaven help us."
Justin:
"It's Jenner. He's at it again."
Mr. Ages:
"There blows an ill wind!"
Justin:
"He's before the Grand Council now. This time he's attacking Nicodemus openly."
Mr. Ages:
"And the plan, no doubt."
Justin:
"Nothing will come of it. I'll pass."
Mr. Ages:
"Beware, boy, he's dangerous! He'll be the undoing of the rats of NIMH."
Jenner:
""Hear me! The Thorn Valley Plan is the aspiration of idiots and dreamers! We..." [sees Justin]"
Jenner:
"We were just talking about you."
Justin:
"That's refreshing, Jenner, usually you're screaming about us."
Nicodemus:
"In the beginning, we were ordinary street rats, stealing our daily bread, and living off the efforts of man's work. We were captured, put in cages, and sent to a place called NIMH. There were other animals there, in cages. They were put through the most unspeakable torture, to satisfy some scientific curiosity. Often, at night, I would hear them cry out in anguish. Twenty rats and eleven mice were given injections. Our world began changing."
Jeremy:
"Nice evening, huh? I told you you'd love flying."
Mrs. Brisby:
"I don't know how I let you talk me into this!"
Teresa:
"Oh! Auntie Shrew!"
Cynthia:
"Oh, Auntie!"
Martin:
"Oh, no!"
Mrs. Brisby:
"You're in great danger. NIMH is coming!"
Jenner:
"Come come, let's return to the rosebush..."
Mrs. Brisby:
"NIMH is coming!"
Rat 1:
"NIMH!"
Mrs. Brisby:
"In the morning!"
Rat 2:
"NIMH!"
Mrs. Brisby:
""Yes. You will all die unless you leave the farm tonight."
Jenner:
"Lies!""
Mrs. Brisby:
"Please! You must believe me!"
Rat 1:
"What if it's true?"
Rat 2:
"We'll all be killed!"
Rat 3:
"Don't panic!"
Jenner:
"Don't listen! She's hysterical!"
Mrs. Brisby:
"Get out now... Auughhh!
[With a vicious backhand, Jenner sends Mrs. Brisby flying. He shucks his cape and draws his sword]"
Jenner:
"You get out! I've had enough!"
Great Owl:
"Step inside my house.
[Mrs. Brisby hesitates.]"
Great Owl:
"Come inside or go away!"
Mrs. Brisby:
"You can unlock any door, if you only have the key."
Jener:
""I've learned this much"
Justin:
"Then you have learned nothing!"
Jenner:
"No taste for blood, eh? They've taken the animal out of you.
-Jenner"
Auntie Shrew:
"Cast not pearls before swine, I always say, and that includes insolent piglets!
-Auntie Shrew"
Jeremy:
"If I was anywhere near a cat, I'd be sneezing my brains out.
-Jeremy"
Cynthia:
"Antie Shrew, Timmy's sick.
-Cynthia"
Cynthia:
"Oh, the poor turkey fell down!
-Cynthia"
