Dialogue
[edit]- Narrator: [Opening lines] In the beginning, they were just ordinary street rats. Until, they were captured by man and taken to NIMH. The National Institute for Mental Health. They went through experiments. For some strange reason, they become intelligent. They found, they could read. And so they escaped through the ventilation system. None of them would've survived, were it not for that incredible bravery of that great mouse Johnathan Brisby. But alas, he could not save himself. The wisest of creatures, the great owl once said, Johnathan Brisby was the bravest of them all.
- Justin: Tonight we journey to Thorn Valley, We must leave no evidence that the Rats of NIMH ever existed.
- Narrator: But Johnathan Brisby's widow and her family stay behind in a home they'd always known. The prophet Nicodemus predicted that NIMH will again thrust its evil on the grass and a son of Johnathan Brisby will be chosen to save them.
- Young Timmy: Time for a shortcut. Martin! Huh? Ahh! What? Ow! Hey! What's going on?
- [Then the cage door closed behind Timmy and the alarm goes off]
- Dr. Valentine's Assistant: I think we've caught one Dr. Valentine.
- [Then Dr. Valentine and his Assistant runs over with their nets to the cage]
- Young Timmy: Help! I'm trapped! Martin help!
- Young Martin: Timmy? Oh! I told him to stay on the path, he never listens.
- [Martin gets off the walnut shell and lets the rabbit go. He then runs over to the cage]
- Young Timmy: Martin help me.
- [Then Martin struggles to lift the latch up]
- Young Martin: Lift the door. [Timmy lifts up the cage door and escapes] Run!
- [They both run off while Dr. Valentine and his Assistant arrive to find an empty cage]
- Dr. Valentine's Assistant: It has to be one of the escaped rats Dr. [Dr. Valentine picks up the cages and looks at it] He was smart enough to undo the latch. They must be close.
- Dr. Valentine: It's them!
- [Then Dr. Valentine and his assistant run to search for them]
- Young Timmy: This was our last race together and I ruined it. I'm sorry Martin.
- Young Martin: Nah, I'll be the sorry one if something happens to you hero. Ha ha ha.
- Young Timmy: Don't call me that, you're the hero type not me. Nicodemus would've chosen you.
- Young Martin: For once you're right. I am older and stronger than you. If Thorn Valley wanted Jonathan Brisby's son. Why'd they pick the runt?
- Young Timmy: It's true. I mess up everything.
- Young Martin: Look I'm sorry Timmy. You'll do great. Really. Come on or you'll miss your flight. Hey, wait a minute. I've got something for you. Here, a going away present.
- [Martin gives Timmy the slingshot]
- Young Timmy: Golly for real? Teach me.
- Young Timmy: Wow what a shot!
- [after watching the slingshot hit the acorns on the tree branches]
- Young Martin: Just set your sights, concentrate on the target and let er rip. Come on Timmy you can do this, aim a little higher now, and fire!
- [Timmy struggles to pull the slingshot but the sling snaps back and hits his head knocking him to the ground]
- Young Martin: Ha ha ha, that's using your head hero. I know you're trying. Just remember some try Brisbys do.
- [Timmy gets back up and Martin gives the slingshot back to Timmy]
- Young Timmy: When I grow up, I wanna be just like you Martin.
- Young Martin: Yeah well, everybody's got a different mouse in mind.
- Young Timmy: I can do it just like Whoa!
- [Then Auntie Shrew calls out Timmy's name]
- Auntie Shrew: Timmy!
- [Timmy slips and accidentally fires a slingshot and shoots a pebble in the sky]
- Jeremy: Let me gear down. [Then a pebble hits Jeremys left wing as he's floating down] Ow! I'm hit! I'm hit! Mayday! Mayday! Incoming! Whoa! Prepare for what a landing!
- [Then Jeremy dives down and lands in the pond]
- Cynthia: Oh my! Are you okay Jeremy?
- [Then Jeremy climbs out of the water]
- Jeremy: Gasp! I'm okay no problem. I'll fly Timmy... to Thorn Valley. No problem. The white zone is for the loading and unloading. Of passengers only.
- [Mrs. Brisby picks up Timmy and places him on the stump]
- Mrs. Jonathan Brisby: There. Now son, you listen to your teachers Justin and Mr. Ages. Okay?
- Young Timmy: Okay. But...
- Mrs. Jonathan Brisby: And what do you do if you're ever really in trouble?
- Teresa: Run! What else?
- [Teresa and Cynthia both laugh. And Mrs. Brisby glares at them]
- Young Timmy: I'm supposed to find the Great Owl just like you did but...
- Mrs. Jonathan Brisby: That's my boy.
- [Then Mrs. Brisby kisses Timmy on the forehead]
- Young Timmy: Mom, I don't wanna go. [hugs his mom]
- Mrs. Jonathan Brisby: Timmy, we all know what your father meant to the Rats of Thorn Valley.
- Young Martin: Yeah, yeah, yeah. He helped them get away from NIMH. Pop was a real hero.
- Mrs. Jonathan Brisby: That's right and...
- Young Timmy: I know, you want me to be like him but.
- Young Martin: But nothing. Okay hero, let's saddle up. Come on Jeremy time to make tracks.
- Jeremy: That's exactly why I'm here. So let's hit the road. Well, when I say road I mean ha, that highway in the sky actually.
- [Timmy holds out his slingshot]
- Young Martin: Nah keep it. Someday you'll figure it out. Timmy!
- [Timmy Hugs Martin]
- Young Timmy: I'll miss you Martin, you're the best big brother ever.
- [Then Timmy climbs up on Jeremys back]
- Mrs. Jonathan Brisby: Are you sure you know the way Jeremy?
- Jeremy: Piece of cake Mrs. B. Thorn Valley is um. You know ha hee. Why it's um.
- Young Martin: South by south by south.
- Jeremy: Right, right. South by, what you said exactly. As the crow flies.
- Young Timmy: Bye mom!
- Mrs. Jonathan Brisby: Bye Timmy, be good. Don't forget to write.
- [Then Jeremy gets ready to fly]
- Jeremy: So long everybody!
- Young Timmy: Bye Martin!
- [Then Jeremy runs and flaps his wings]
- Jeremy: Okay, little momentous hold on to my feathers. Here we go Whoa! High horse altitude we're right at it. Okay everybody boom! We have liftoff! Yo! Alright!
- [Everybody gasps as Jeremy flies and dives down and then flies right up]
- Auntie Shrew: Oh no.
- Mrs. Jonathan Brisby: Watch over our son Jonathan.
- Auntie Shrew: We'll my nephew's off to a grand future, what a lucky boy.
- Young Martin: Yeah! Lucky's right! I'm older and stronger, but he gets to go!
- Mrs. Jonathan Brisby: It's not our decision Martin.
- Auntie Shrew: The Great Nicodemus foretold it.
- Young Martin: Big hairy deal! Just because some old rat...
- Auntie Shrew: Don't be rude! Nicodemus wasn't just some old rat young man! He was the...
- Young Martin: I don't care who he was? I have a destiny too! It's just not fair! [runs off]
- Auntie Shrew: Oh!
- Mrs. Jonathan Brisby: Martin!
- Auntie Shrew: Oh the heck with him. He always was a rude little piglet.
- Jeremy: [flies in the cloudy sky with Timmy on his back] Whoa! So kiddo, how you're doing? Kiddo?
- Young Timmy: Well I'm okay.
- Jeremy: Okay? Okay that's it?
- Young Timmy: We'll, I guess I'm just wondering why Thorn Valley's so great?
- Jeremy: Oh ho ho. That's easy. I mean Thorn Valley's great because... well because... because, there's no where else like it. No where else comes close. It's the past, It's the future, it's a blast, it's a most sophisticated city, in a sleepy village green. From the ice age to the mice age, and everything in between. Ha ha. Come! Make the most of your life! Look!
- [Then Jeremy flies over Thorn Valley town]
- Young Timmy: Wahoo! Jeremy! This is awesome!
- Justin: Timmy, you've got to be ready mentally and physically ha ha. [swings on vine over a pond]
- Young Timmy: Wahoo! Ready for what? Whoa! [swings on vine and falls in the pond]
- Justin: To fulfill your destiny.
- Young Timmy: [runs up to Mr. Ages] Mr. Ages! Did you see it Mr. Ages? That old snake won't be hunting us for breakfast anymore.
- Mr. Ages: Hmm no. I suppose he won't. Well at least I know what happened to the weather balloon I asked you to get for me.
- Young Timmy: Oh, I'm sorry. I was just trying to help make the valley safe.
- Mr. Ages: The valley is safe enough as long as it remains unknown to the outside world. My boy what have I've been trying to teach you all these months?
- Young Timmy: Um that it's OK for guys to wear the same underwear three days in a row.
- Mr. Ages: [puts his hand on Timmy's shoulder] Well that was just between us. Now what else?
- [Mr. Ages and Timmy go on a walk]
- Young Timmy: I've got to think things all the way through.
- Mr. Ages: And if snakes go flying through the air, humans might find out about Thorn Valley. And then we might be in real danger.
- Young Timmy: From who?
- Mr. Ages: From NIMH.
- Young Timmy: What's NIMH?
- Mr. Ages: Let's hope you never find out. Your father saved us from NIMH. We wouldn't be in Thorn Valley if it weren't for him. Jonathan Brisby was a great mouse. And you're his son. You can be every bit remarkable as he was if you think things through. Always see the big picture. [shows Timmy a statue of Jonathan Brisby in the fountain]
- Young Timmy: I'll never be you.
- Justin: Tim.
- Timmy: What did I do now?
- Justin: You know where I can find a volunteer for tonight's collection detail?
- Timmy: Me?
- Timmy: Justin, where to tonight?
- Justin: Where the humans live. To collect things they throw away. Shh. We're almost there.
- Timmy: What do I have to use a whistle for anyway?
- Brutus: Ohh. To warn us, in case killer shows up. Heh heh.
- Timmy: Killer?
- Brutus: The meanest, baddest watchdog around these parts.
- Justin: Yeah, he could be anywhere. So keep your eyes open.
- [Justin and the mice sneaks over to the dumpster but Justin blocks Timmy's path]
- Justin: Hold it.
- Timmy: Huh?
- Justin: You stay here and keep watch.
- Timmy: But, I wanna be in on the action.
- Justin: You're not ready to be a hero Tim.
- Brutus: [gives Tim a whiste] Don't blow it kid! I mean... you know what I mean.
- Timmy: But I...
- Justin: No buts. You're part of a team. Stay on guard.
- Timmy: Tag along Timmy! That's all I'm ever gonna be! I'm never gonna see any real action! [throws his whistle to the ground]
- Justin: Almost there! Let's keep it down! Keep it down!
- [Justin and the mice climb up to the dumpster]
- Timmy: [Jenny whistles at Justin] Justin! Brutus! Over here.
- Brutus: Hungry big guy? Killer want a cracker.
- [Justin, Brutus and the mice throws the crackers at the dog, Timmy and Jenny hold the gate until Justin, Brutus and the rest of the mice ran safely out of the gate, Timmy and Jenny let go of the gate and it closes on the bulldog and he barks at them]
- Timmy: Justin! She can read!
- Justin: Read?
- Justin: [Timmy and Jenny are in the Courtroom on trial] Tim you left your post, you put us all in danger.
- Timmy: But I...
- Justin: You've got to learn to listen, you always think you know better than everyone else.
- Timmy: I know and I'm sorry. But that doesn't change the fact that Jenny can read.
- Mr. Ages: Is that true young lady? Can you really read?
- Jenny: Yes. Look, I've been sent here to find you.
- Mr. Ages: To find us? We don't want to be found. Who would know about us?
- Jenny: My parents to start with.
- Mr. Ages: And who might your parents be?
- Jenny: The McBrides.
- Mr. Ages: What?! Well I'll be. Two of the lost six.
- Justin: That's impossible, they were lost when they escaped from NIMH.
- [a flashback comes up showing the lost rats escape from NIMH through the ventilation. The rats landed in the basement and took care of each other. Then the rats were recaptured by Dr. Valentine and his scientist assistants getting caught in a net and being caged up, Dr. Valentine laughs]
- Jenny: No, they were swept away into the ventilation system but they ended up in the basement. They stayed there until the injured got better. Just when they tried again to escape, that's when it happened. They were recaptured by Dr. Valentine.
- [the flashback ends and it shows Timmy and Jenny back in the courtroom]
- Jenny: Everything has changed in the labs. Dr Valentine is crazier than ever. My parents and the others sent me to find you, you've just got to help.
- Mr. Ages: I'm afraid you asked too much of us Ms. McBride.
- Jenny: But something terrible is about to happen at NIMH. No one knows what it is. But it has something to do with the next full moon.
- Mr. Ages: The full moon?
- Muriel: [sings off key] All solo meow! The milk is meow!
- Floyd: [pops out of the trash can and jumps on the fence] Sing it Muriel, oh ho ho.
- Muriel: [continues to sing off key] Listen to meow! My love is, nice!
- Muriel and Floyd: Hey! Whoa!
- [Then a shoe is thrown at Muriel. Then, a man dumps water on Muriel and throws the bucket at Floyd. They both run off. Dr Valentine holds out a cat food bowl]
- Dr. Valentine: Here, kitty, kitty, kitty.
- Muriel: Hello. At least someone appreciates talent.
- Floyd: Wait! I'm the one with the talent!
- [He runs right in front of Muriel]
- Dr. Valentine: Nice, kitty, kitty, kitty.
- Floyd: [sniffs at the bowl] Mmm, oh, Stinking rotting fish. I think it a qua zine. Yow!
- Muriel: [grabs at Floyds tail and holds him up] Excuse me! Where are your manners? You hairball with feet!
- Floyd: I'm sorry. After you my little nightingale. He he, Whoa!
- [Muriel drops Floyd on the ground]
- Floyd: Wait up snoot oles! might I have your leftovers?
- Muriel: Over my dead body.
- [the door closes behind them as they walk inside. Then Dr. Valentine laughs as they perform experiments of the cats and they scream]
- Jenny: What's taking them so long to decide?
- Timmy: Don't worry Jenny. Mr. Ages says good things comes to those who wait.
- Jenny: I can't wait! Do you have any idea what it's like at NIMH? They're living in cages waiting for the scientist to do, who knows what to them. How could you know. I mean, just look at this place. But no one here ever worries about their family. [looks over the balcony and watches the mice playing in town]
- Timmy: Well I do? I haven't seen them since I came to Thorn Valley.
- Jenny: [gasp] They're here. [Justin and Mr. Ages walks in the room] The answer's no, isn't it?
- Mr. Ages: We're very sorry.
- Justin: The council decided that the risk to Thorn Valley was just too great. We can't go.
- Jenny: I guess I'm going to have to do it myself. I'm not going to let anything happen to my mother and father and that's that! [tries to walk out but then, Brutus blocks Jenny's path]
- Brutus: I can't let you leave.
- Jenny: There are guards everywhere. Watching our every move. We're trapped. And I thought NIMH was a prison!
- [the door opens and Mr. Ages walks in the room]
- Mr. Ages: Um... Ms. McBride. I've made a bed for you in the observatory. I hope you'll be comfortable. Good night children. Sorry to keep you a prisoner. [walks out of the room and closes the door]
- Jenny: I've got to get out of here somehow. Of course it would be a lot easier with some help.
- Timmy: Oh well. They just don't want you telling anyone on the outside about us. Wait a second? How did you know about Thorn Valley?
- Jenny: [gathers clothes and ties each one into a rope] When I was little, I remember a mouse in the cage next to ours telling my parents how the rats that escaped from NIMH settled in a place called Thorn Valley. And if any of us ever escaped we should promise to go there and ask the rats for help. Yeah right!
- Timmy: But how did you ever find it?
- Jenny: I remember him saying, it was south, by south, by south.
- Timmy: Martin, said that.
- Jenny: You know I've forgotten, but I think that was his name. How did you know?
- Timmy: [pulls up a letter and reads it] Martin's my brother. My moms letter said he disappeared. She had no idea what happened to him.
- Jenny: Well, he's at NIMH.
- Timmy: No! Martins at NIMH? They captured him! Is he alright?
- Jenny: [ties off a rope of clothes to the balcony] I hope so. Besides, they just took him away right after that.
- Timmy: Wait! Maybe if I tell Justin about Martin I mean... I could try to.
- Jenny: Tim. You've got to have the courage to follow your heart. I'll say hi for you when I get back to NIMH. [begins to climb down the clothes rope]
- Timmy: You mean when we get there. I have to save my brother.
- [Jenny smiles]
- Mr. Ages: Sound the alarm! Sound the alarm! [runs out of the door and Brutus wakes up]
- Brutus: Yow! What in the name of Nicodemus?
- Mr. Ages: She's gone into the canal! And Tim is with her.
- Brutus: Doh! Get the others! I'll catch them at the bridge! [runs over to the bridge and sees the saltshakers floating and grabs both of them] Okay! Party's over! What? Huh, What the... Well what do you know.
- Justin: We've got to stop them! For Thorn Valleys sake! Spread out along the canal, they wont get far!
- [Justin and the mice run around, meanwhile up in the tree, Tim and Jenny in the basket open the trash can with three helium balloons floating their basket into the sky. And Justin looks at the trash can]
- Justin: What? Well I'll be.
- Jenny: Um... You sure you've flown one of these things before?
- Timmy: Ah hundreds of times. From the ground.
- Jenny: If we die, I'm going to kill you.
- Timmy: We're not gonna die. We're on a mission.
- [They fly high up in the sky]
- Jenny: Don't worry mom and dad! I'll save you! Even Dr. Valentine can't stop us!
- Timmy: NIMH, here we come!
- Jenny: I gotta admit. The view is not too shabby.
- Timmy and Jenny: [are about the kiss, when suddenly, their flying balloons are attacked] Ahh!
- Jenny: What was that?
- Timmy: I don't know!
- [the flying balloons are attacked again]
- Timmy and Jenny: Ahh!
- Timmy: [looks up and sees a hawk] [gasp] Hawk!
- [the hawk dives down at the balloons and pops one of them causing Timmy and Jenny to float down fast and Jenny screams. Their basket tips over and Jenny grabs Timmys foot]
- Timmy: Hold on!
- Jenny: Tim!
- Timmy: Jenny!
- Jenny: I'm falling!
- Timmy: Oh! Look out!
- Jenny: Here it comes!
- Timmy: It's gonna be okay!
- [the hawk dives at them again and pops their second balloon and fall faster. Timmy and Jenny screams again]
- Timmy: Hang on!
- Jenny: He's coming! He's coming!
- Timmy: Look out!
- [Then Cecil the caterpillar climbs out of the tree hole and sees Timmy and Jenny falling forward down and sees the hawk diving after them. Cecil screams]
- Jenny: He's after me!
- [Then the Hawk pops the third and last balloon and Timmy and Jenny scream. They safely land but Tim's foot gets caught in the vine]
- Timmy: Whoa! What a ride!
- Jenny: I told you! If we die I...
- Timmy: Hey we're still alive.
- Jenny: Not for long. [helps Timmy out of the vine and on the ground] Anymore bright ideas?
- Timmy: Just one. Run!
- [the both run in and the hawk dives for them]
- Jenny: Hurry Tim! In there!
- [They run in the hole of the tree and the hawk tries to kill them, then Cecil blows the log making awful noise to the hawk and the hawk flies away]
- Cecil: And don't come back! [claps his four hands]
- Jenny: Is he gone?
- Timmy: He is now.
- Jenny: What was that?
- Timmy: I don't know, and I don't want to know.
- Jenny: Tim, anything around here look familiar?
- [They look around the dark forest]
- Timmy: Nope.
- Jenny: We'll never get to NIMH. Before the full moon. My mom and dad are doomed.
- [Cecil eavesdrops on Tim and Jenny's conversation]
- Timmy: Poor Martin. Hey! we could look for the great owl. That's what my mom said to do.
- Cecil: [thinks up an idea] Birds! Bugs! And Beasts! Stir your stuffs! Come and see the great owl! I don't care if you wear flesh, fur, fins, or feathers! You got a problem! The owls the Bible with the answer.
- [Tim and Jenny runs over to the tree where Cecil the caterpillar stands. Tim looks up at the tree and climbs up. Cecil grabs Tim's tail with his stick and pulls him down]
- Cecil: Hey not so fast short stuff. The way it works is this. You want something from the owl. You've got to have something for the owl.
- Timmy: How about this. [pulls out his slingshot out of his vest]
- Cecil: A twig? ha! Where in the forest can you bring a twig? What's next? A leaf? Some dirt? Beat it kid! Go find a nice trap to play in!
- Timmy: Who are you anyway?
- Cecil: The name's Cecil. I'm the owls, spokes bug you might say. You wanna see him, you gotta deal with Ow! Hey!
- Jenny: [steps on his shoe] The owl! Now!
- Cecil: Easy on the tootsie, tootsie! I've paid good money for this pedicure. In there. Mention my name and you'll get a good seat.
- Timmy: [climbs up the tree] I'm going in.
- Evil Martin: [tortures the cats head Floyd with an electric brain shocking device] This is marvelous. By the time the full moon rolls around, I'll have an army of animals ready. Now you brainless fur balls! You can be my personal servants! [then releases Floyd] Plus the hat, cat!
- Floyd: Yes my agent, yes my agent.
- Evil Martin: That's Dr. Valentine to you! [pushes the button and continues to torture Floyds head with electricity] Personally isn't it well actually.
- Floyd: Yes bub! Yes Dr. Valentine. Sire.
- Evil Martin: Oh, one by one. The last species falls neatly into place! Ha ha ha!
- Muriel: Back off Floyd you bozo! You know I look lousy in a hat! Floyd no not that! Oh my please don't sonny! Aggh! Floyd! Whoa!
- [Then Floyd puts on the brain shocker device on Muriels head and it tortures her head with electric shocks]
- Timmy: Anyone here? [looks in the tree hollow]
- Jenny: Tim, be careful.
- Jeremy: Did you bring your tribute? Maybe a sparkly?
- Timmy: Um... no.
- Jeremy: What?! Then be gone with you!
- Timmy: I'm not going away! [walks inside the tree hollow]
- Jeremy: You dare challenge the great owl?
- Timmy: No, I just need your help.
- Jeremy: Um who. I mean who goes there?
- Timmy: My name is Timothy Brisby.
- Jeremy: Really, I knew a Timothy Brisby once. I mean, who is this Timmy Brisby? Yipe!
- Jenny: Tim!
- [Timmy looks in the room and sees Jeremy the crow tangled up in colored strings]
- Jeremy: That smarts. Ow how'd that happen? Help me out of this. Hi Timmy. Remember me? [takes off his wig]
- Timmy: Jeremy?
- Jeremy: [plays in the tangled string] Um yeah it's me. Long time no see. Say, could you help me out of this?
- Timmy: Sure thing.
- [Then Jenny runs up with a stick and whacks Jeremys head with a stick]
- Jenny: Run for it Tim!
- Jeremy: Ow! Hey! Do I look like a pinata?
- Timmy: Yes Jeremy, you sure do.
- Jenny: Wait hold on. You know this guy?
- Timmy: Yeah. He's my friend.
- Cecil: Alright I'll take it from here!
- Jenny: Hey what's going on here?
- Cecil: [frees Jeremy and he falls down on the ground] Put a zipper on it before you say something stupid! Make that stupider! And you two! Take a seat! I'm going to tell you what the great owl can do for you!
- [Then Cecil swings the vine over to the powdered cushion and the music starts]
- Cecil: [after the song's over and Jeremy stops spinning and realizes his wig came off] Your wig!
- Jeremy: Oh I see! Wait! That was just, for your own good, an illusion, show business, thanks so much folks. Drive home safely.
- [the forest animal mob surround Jeremy but Cecil quickly runs in front on Jeremy]
- Cecil: Have you no mercy for poor, featherless, molting crow! I mean owl!
- Forest Animals: Molting? Get that crow! Yeah get that crow!
- Cecil: Aggh! Get out or die! [quickly runs up on Jeremy who flaps his wings, he flies up while the mob of forest animals tries to grab Jeremy]
- Jeremy: Jenny! Tim! Let's re-moose where are you?
- Timmy: Cecil! Jeremy! Hey over here!
- Cecil: Jump!
- Jenny: Tim my hand.
- [Timmy and Jenny both jumps off the tree branch and lands on Jeremy and they all escape from the forest animals in the sky]
- Jeremy: Over speed left hand! What where you two kids doing in the forest anyway?
- Jenny: We were on our way to see my parents.
- Timmy: Jenny this is Jeremy. He's the one who flew me to Thorn Valley a long time ago.
- Jeremy: Happy to meet a pilot. Will that be first class or coach? Listen crackers, in the middle of my neck. This is the greatest isn't it guys? The wind in your face. The bugs in your teeth. Not a care in the world.
- [They arrive at the city]
- Jenny: There it is.
- [They approach the creepy NIMH science building]
- Jeremy: Oh. Jeepers creepers. What a, what a spooky place. So, where are we anyway?
- Timmy: It's NIMH.
- Jeremy: NIMH?! What?! Any place but NIMH?! Okey dokey, That's it! Last stop! Everybody, get off my back! [crash lands on the ground outside the gate of NIMH]
- Cecil: You are on your own kids. What they do to animals in that place. If I go in there, I'll never make butterfly.
- [Timmy and Jenny looks at the NIMH science building]
- Jeremy: That's it! I'm not going one feet of farther. Um One farther. Further. One feather further. I've, got to get out of here!
- [Jeremy and Cecil take off while Timmy and Jenny sneak inside the building]
- Timmy: I can't get it open.
- Jenny: Shh. Come on let's go. Hurry. Timmy, we've got no time to waste. This way. [opens the drain floor cover and they both climb out and walk in the warehouse room]
- Timmy: So, this is NIMH. Well, this is really creepy.
- Jenny: Come on let's go. [gasp]
- [They see a rubber ball bounce and see the human scientist in their cages acting like dogs]
- Timmy: Jenny look! What happened to them?
- Jenny: Dr. Valentine is mad. He's turned the humans into dogs. Come on. We've gotta find my parents and get out of here.
- [after Timmy and Jenny climb up the stairs, they look around the room]
- Timmy: It's so quiet.
- Jenny: Too quiet. [gasp] Someone's coming.
- [They hide as the Rat Guards of NIMH march out of the elevator]
- Rat Guards of NIMH: Left, left, left right left! Left, left, left right left! Left, left, left right left!
- Timmy: Those are the biggest rats I've ever seen in my life.
- Jenny: Keep an eye out, there are bigger creatures than that in this place.
- Rat Guards of NIMH: Left, left, left right left! Left, left, left right left! Left, left, left right left!
- Jenny: Thanks. Come on. [opens the door slot with a feather quill and they both crawl in the door slot]
- Jenny: There.
- [Timmy and Jenny run in the hall and they encounter some rats who is actually Justin and his crew]
- Justin: Wait.
- Timmy: Run Jenny run! [jumps at Justin but he grabs Timmy and puts him down]
- Justin: Hold on Tim! It's okay.
- Timmy: Justin. What are you doing here?
- Justin: We decided Jenny was right. The lost six belong in Thorn Valley. So we came here to help rescue them. Watch our backs!
- Timmy: Not again!
- Justin: Will you listen?
- Timmy: Fine! Leave me behind! I'm going to look for my brother. Martin? Martin where are you? [wanders off in the hall]
- Jenny: Mom! Dad! You're alright! [sees the lost six mice including her Mother and Father inside their cages. Mr. and Mrs. McBride walks over to the bars]
- Mr. McBride: Jenny. You shouldn't have come back. The moon is full tonight, we're all in danger!
- Justin: We'll have you all out in a second.
- Mrs. McBride: Justin, is that really you? Help us!
- Justin: To the rescue. Let's get you out of here.
- [Then all of a sudden Floyd grabs Justin and Brutus. And Muriel grabs 2 more rat crew members]
- Muriel: Gotcha! Ooh I'm so sorry did I startle you!
- Timmy: [opens in the door] Martin?
- Jenny: Tim! Cats!
- Timmy: Oh no! [runs back to help his friends]
- Floyd: [grabs Jenny's tail] Three blind mice. See how they shine throughout the device.
- Timmy: Oh man. Why didn't I listen? [walks back but Floyd grabs Timmy by the tail]
- Floyd: Oh no you don't. You'll make a scrum-sics golden neck of here. [throws Timmy into his mouth]
- Muriel: What the? [slaps Floyds back and Timmy comes out of his mouth on the ground] What are you thinking Floyd?
- Floyd: They are going to make such a lovely stew you know. A few carrots and mashing up some greens.
- Muriel: Grr! Floyd! [grabs the rest of the three mice by their tails away from Floyd] A good doctor will make a stew out of us if we hurt any of them!
- Floyd: Merely I don't want to hurt him. I merely want to eat him. ha ha ha!
- Timmy: I'm sorry everybody. It's my fault. I wasn't a team player.
- [the Rat Guards of NIMH takes Timmy, Jenny, Justin prisoner and marches them into Dr. Valentines lab]
- Muriel: Here you go boss.
- [The Rat Guard throws Timmy and Jenny on the floor and they fall forward and they get out and sees Dr. Valentine with the lightening flashing behind him]
- Timmy and Jenny: [gasp]
- Jenny: Dr. Valentine!
- Muriel: More recruits!
- Floyd: Yes sir. And we didn't even eat any I wanted to make a lovely stew of course.
- Muriel: [elbows Floyd] Put a sock in it Floyd!
- Evil Martin: Dr. Valentine, Fetch.
- Dr. Valentine: Ruff! Ruff! Ruff! Ruff! Ruff! Ruff!
- [Then the rubber ball bounces and Dr. Valentine acts like a dog and crawls on the floor after the ball and plays with it. Then Evil Martin is shown sitting in the electric chair]
- Evil Martin: Little two of you. How In?
- Timmy: Huh?
- [Then Evil Martin gets up and walks over to Timmy]
- Evil Martin: You bruised me. I must be half changed a bit. But for the better, don't you think? Hero!
- Timmy: Martin.
- Evil Martin: Not quite, brother. It's me, the new and improved Martin.
- Timmy: Martin what's wrong? What's happened to you?
- Evil Martin: Happened? Why life happened that's what! And I made the most of it! Don't you think?
- [Then the song Just Say Yes starts and Martin hypothesize them with his eye]
- Evil Martin: [grabs Timmy's vest] Just say yes.
- Timmy: No!
- Evil Martin: Wrong answer. [drops Timmy but Floyd catches him]
- Jenny: Tim!
- Floyd: I'd say, I've caught a mouse. Hi.
- Timmy: No! [tries to run but Floyd grabs him again]
- Floyd: Nah, ah. May I dissolve the thing your desires?
- Evil Martin: No! Wait, But for now maybe something a little more accommodating for a long lost brother. I know! A ring sized suits so you can watch me throw my master plan. Tonight the moon is full and I attack Thorn Valley.
- Timmy: No!
- Evil Martin: Your soon to be zapped friends. Will be my willing soldiers. Quite a shock. No pun intended.
- Jenny: You're insane! [The Rat Guard grabs Jenny's hair and pulls her back] Aggh!
- Evil Martin: Well, thank you. Now she has real spunk. Not like you hero.
- Jenny: Let me go!
- Evil Martin: She has real potential. Take her to my personal chamber.
- [Muriel grabs Jenny with her mouth and takes her away]
- Jenny: Put me down you feline freak!
- Evil Martin: Ooh, she'll make a perfect queen for my new realm, ha ha ha. Her attitude just needs a slight alteration. Place the others into their old friends. After all we have so much in common. No future. You'll be happy to know that this cage was one of our finest particular favorites. See you soon brother! Then again maybe not.
- Timmy: Martin! Don't do this!
- Evil Martin: Ha ha ha ha!
- Timmy: This is all my fault, why didn't I listen?
- [Then the doors close]
- Cecil: [claps his hands as he lowers the rope down] Very nice. You'll make someone a very nice doormat someday.
- Timmy: Cecil. What are you doing here?
- Cecil: Heroes have sidekicks don't they?
- Timmy: Hero, me? Yeah right. I'm the one who got us into this mess.
- Cecil: Okay so maybe they won't give you the key to the city. But the last time I checked, no one's perfect.
- Timmy: What did you say?
- Cecil: No one's perfect.
- Timmy: No, the key. You never know. Can't reach. [pulls out the key and tries to reach the lock]
- Cecil: That key in that lock. Come on.
- Timmy: If I could just get this hinge pin out. [lifts the hinge with the key and the cage door comes loose and Cecil and Tim comes out of the cage]
- Cecil: Your right. Yow! Not bad. So what are you waiting for? Applause? A candy graham maybe?
- Timmy: I've learned to listen Ces. I'm thinking things through.
- Cecil: A plan, Hey, there's a concept.
- Floyd: [and Muriel are sleeping on the floor] Roasting rat, rat. Rodent ratatouille.
- Timmy: Surprise! [fires his slingshot at Floyds head]
- Floyd: Ow! Come back! You sighting!
- [Then Floyd and Muriel quickly gets up and chases after Timmy]
- Muriel: Floyd! Floyd! Floyd!
- Timmy: You call yourselves cats? You can't catch me!
- [Floyd and Muriel trip on the cord and the tank of water spills on the floor and the cord sparks into a fire]
- Muriel: Oh dammit! Where did he go?
- [They run into the elevator]
- Timmy: Excuse me? Going down? [fires the slingshot at the elevator and hits the button]
- Muriel: Get him! Get him! there he is Floyd!
- [Floyd rips the elevator padding. Timmy runs up the elevator ceiling and the cats jump at him]
- Floyd: Now you die!
- Muriel: Let me up! I'm going to do it Floyd! Come here you little mousee! I need that tail to use as a toothpick! Uh oh.
- [Then Tim opens the elevator hatchet door and hits Muriel's face and she lands on Floyd]
- Timmy: Yes! Cecil! Quick! Cecil!
- Cecil: Hold your horseflies I've only got four hands.
- [Timmy hooks the elevator gears with a hook]
- Muriel: Move it!
- Floyd: I'm stuck!
- [the two cats get stuck as they try to get out of the door hatch]
- Timmy: See ya!
- [Then the elevator falls down faster and Timmy swings to the floor]
- Cecil: Hey! Thanks for the hand.
- Timmy: Don't mention it sidekick. How's this for a definite improvised Got to help the others. Let's go!
- [They swing over to the open elevator door]
- Jenny: Stay away from me!

- Timmy: After you. [The fire explodes] Martin. Jenny, promise me something.
- Jenny: Anything.
- Timmy: Don't come after me. [Kisses Jenny and slides down the thread quickly down the floor]
- Jenny: Tim! Where are you going?
- Timmy: I'm doing what you said! I'm following my heart!
- Jenny: I love you!
- Timmy: Woo, I love you too!
