Mr. Ages
- Mrs. Brisby: I went to see the Great Owl.
- Mr. Ages: The Owl. You say you saw the Owl?
- Mrs. Brisby: Yes. And he said I should ask for Nicodemus.
- Mr. Ages: 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.
- Mrs. Brisby: Forgive me. I just noticed you were limping.
- Mr. Ages: That is none of your affair. Now, to what you are about to see in here, you must swear absolute secrecy.
- Mrs. Brisby: Yes, I...
- Mr. Ages: Swear it.
- Mrs. Brisby: I promise.
- Mr. Ages: If any of this ever got out, we'd have humankind bulldozing their way down here to blow the place apart.
- Mrs. Brisby: Is it always so dark?
- Mr. Ages: We're down three feet.
- Justin: It's Jenner. He's at it again.
- Mr. Ages: There blows an ill wind.
- Justin: He's before the council now. This time he's attacking Nicodemus openly.
- Mr. Ages: And the plan, no doubt.
- Justin: Nothing will come of it. It'll pass.
- Mr. Ages: Beware, boy, he's dangerous. Jenner could be the undoing of the rats of NIMH.
- Jenner: Friends, we cannot move the Brisby home.
- Mr. Ages: We can't just leave it here in the mud.
- Jenner: The equipment is a shambles.
- Mrs. Brisby: [offscreen] Justin!
- Jenner: One day, we shall journey to Thorn Valley, just as Nicodemus wanted. But not now.
- Mrs. Brisby: Justin!
- Mr. Ages: Mrs. Brisby.
- Jenner: Come. Let us return to the rosebush, where we belong.
- Mr. Ages: Your son has pneumonia.
- Mrs. Brisby: Pneumonia?
- Mr. Ages: It's not uncommon, but you can die from it.
- Mrs. Brisby: Please, dear God, no.
