[winding]
[squeaking]
[snap]
ouch!
[sighs]
Pete.
Pete?
Pete?
What exactly are you
trying to catch?
I'm not sure.
Can we leave my fingers
out of it?
I'm sorry, mom, but
there must be a reason
Why we can never find
anything in this house.
There is. It's
called your father.
Mom, I'm serious.
What about the pen
by the phone?
And the Christmas
tree lights, remember?
And the needle and thread
you left on the bed?
Matches, batteries, candles,
safety pins, dental floss?
Ok, ok.
Something is taking
our stuff,
And I'm going to
find out what it is.
All right,
who stole my watch?
Victoria: It's by the radio.
Where are you guys
going anyway?
Joe: We have a meeting with
the great Ocious P. Potter.
He's reading
aunt Mary's will.
What's so great
about him?
Victoria: He's a lawyer.
We have to see him
about the house.
Something wrong?
Probably wants us
to sign some papers.
Nothing
to worry about.
Let's go, Pete. You're going
to be late for school.
Honey...
Can't find
my stupid keys.
Oh, my gosh, Pete,
I'm so sorry. You're right.
Some...Thing
must have taken them.
See? I told you!
[imitating scary music]
oo-oo-oo-oo!
Joe:
Wait a second.
Where's
my briefcase gone?
What
a beautiful day!
Victoria: Come on, Pete,
get a move on.
[car doors slam]
[sighs]
Ha ha!
[straining]
[blows]
Still got
plenty of time.
Here we go.
[grunts]
No will?
No will?
Horrible, isn't it?
I've been through
your late aunt's files
With a fine legal comb,
And believe me,
it just doesn't exist.
That's impossible.
We were right in this office
When she said she was
leaving the house to us.
Come on! You were sitting
right there!
Sometimes people say
one thing and then...
Turn around and do something
completely different.
Or in your aunt's case, they
turn around and drop dead.
[click]
Joe: I don't
believe this.
We've got to be able to work
something out here.
I already have.
The world is a train speeding
towards the 21st century,
And I'll be damned
if our little town
Is going to be left
standing at the station.
Ta-dah!
[click]
24 highly expensive
luxury apartments
In the place of one house.
You're demolishing
our house for that?
You like it? You have until
Saturday to move out.
Wh--Saturday?
There must be
something we can do.
Where there's no will...
There's no way.
[mixer whirring]
Stop right there,
Arrietty clock.
What is the first rule
of borrowing?
The first rule of borrowing--
that's a tricky one.
Is it...Have as much fun
as you can?
Arrietty?
The first rule
of borrowing:
A borrower must
never, ever be seen.
You've only told me
a zillion times, dad.
Well, what is the first
thing you do, then?
Check that the coast
is clear.
I did, and it's clear,
so can we go now?
Hold on.
Come on, Peagreen. We have
a very big day ahead of us.
Oh, I hate big days.
Come on, Peagreen.
You hate everything.
That's not true.
I like sweets.
Candy...
Sweets, candy,
ga-ga.
Chocolate,
ice cream, chips.
Oh, shut up.
Doughnuts
with jam.
Arrietty,
come back!
We've got a lot
of borrowing to do,
And I've got to change
this battery.
Today,
Potter's apartments...
Tomorrow...
Pottersville.
[chuckling]
[humming]
Where do you think
you're going?
Dad told us
not to budge.
Stop it,
you little squirt.
Are you going
to help me or not?
Not.
Fine. I'll eat all
the ice cream myself then.
Wait for me, Arrietty!
Don't climb so fast!
Peagreen: Don't
leave me behind!
[groaning]
I'm getting
too old for this.
If dad catches you,
Arrietty,
I have nothing
to do with this.
This is a big mistake.
Right, ok, here we go.
Arrietty!
What?
I'm going to need a lot
of ice cream, Arrietty.
Stupid little squirt.
Look...
A whole room
full of winter.
Arrietty,
what are you doing?
[chewing] nothing.
What about
the ice cream?
I'm sure it must be
around here somewhere.
Unh! Arrietty! Aah!
I can't hold it!
I can't hold it, Arrietty!
Help!
Dad!
Peagreen: Dad!
My arm's stuck!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
What is it?
What's going on?
What's happened?
She made me do it!
It's not my fault!
Where is she?
In there.
She's in the freezer?
Is that bad?
I don't think it
could get much worse.
[door opens]
It just got worse.
Hold tight.
Here we go.
Dad! Dad!
Don't do it!
We've got to do it!
We did it!
We did it!
Take the battery and
get back to your mother.
Tell her not to worry,
all right?
[shivering]
Oof!
You want some ice
in here?
No, thanks.
Aah!
Aah!
All right?
I'm in big trouble,
right?
Quiet.
[click]
[rumbling]
[creaking]
Whoa!
Come on, Arrietty.
Stop dawdling.
Your mother's going to be
cross enough as it is.
I told him
you weren't ready.
Now look
what's happened!
He did it.
He did it.
He jumped right
off the fridge.
Peagreen, put that marshmallow
down and drink your milk.
But I hate milk.
See! [muttering]
Ah, there you are at last!
I was all in a spin!
Carpet, off.
I was sick with worry!
And where are the borrowings?
Oh, dear, how could you
do this to me?
How could I?
Arrietty's the one who got
herself stuck in the freezer.
What was I
supposed to do,
Leave her there
until she iced over?
I had to run 'round
the whole kitchen.
I burned my toes
on the stove.
I told you they were
too young to go borrowing.
Yes, Arrietty.
Me and dad have had it up
to here with your behavior.
Shut up, squirt.
Ugly.
Smelly.
Double smelly.
Stop it, you two!
[clunk]
Homily: Ah, that's better.
You know who she
takes after, of course.
Me.
Mm-hmm.
If I took after him,
I'd never do anything fun.
Don't be too sure.
He was quite a rogue in
his time, your father.
Dad?
My dad?
I don't
believe it.
I believe it!
I think your mother's right,
Arrietty.
We're going to have to keep
you at home for a while.
What? But
that's not fair!
At least until
that nasty young bean
Stops setting traps
everywhere.
You put us in
great danger, Arrietty.
A borrower is quiet...
Cautious...
Inconspicuous...
Alert...
Never seen and never heard.
It's the borrower way.
"the borrower way this,
the borrower way that."
I've lived in this house
all my life,
And I've never even
seen another borrower.
Me, neither.
Well, you wouldn't,
would you?
A borrower is quiet...
Cautious...
Inconspicuous...
Non-existent.
[rumbling]
Homily:
What in the world?
It's not Thursday,
is it?
Oh, my goodness, they must
have changed the schedule.
They can't change
the schedule! Can they?
Emergency stations,
everyone!
Pod: Hurry, Peagreen!
Aah!
All: Peagreen!
Aah!
Aah!
Honestly, Pod!
What? I suppose this
is all my fault, too.
[knock on door]
You gave us
a big scare today.
Sorry, mum.
I know you want
to borrow, Arrietty,
But it's very dangerous
up there amongst the beans.
We'll let your borrow again,
Etts, one day.
Tomorrow?
You're just
like your father.
He and his friends would
never stay put for a minute.
Oh, they were
a horrible lot.
Minty branch...
Swag moss...
Dustbunny bin.
They were always getting
your father into trouble.
I lost count of the times
they were nearly seen.
I wish I was around
in the old days.
Oh, the old days.
I wish you could have seen
this house then, Etts.
It was full to the rafters.
There were
the overmantles...
The furnaces...
The rafters, obviously.
But now they're all gone.
It's just us.
There's no one to meet.
No one to talk to.
Are we
the only ones left?
That's enough talking
for tonight.
Stop all this worrying
and get some sleep.
You'll feel brighter
in the morning.
Night, Etts.
Night, mum.
Bored, bored, bored,
bored, bored.
[crackling]
[music playing]
Get back, coppers!
Get back, I say!
Don't be silly, son.
Give me the gun.
I'll shoot!
I swear I'll shoot!
Come on, drop it.
I'll drop you!
Get back!
Don't be a fool, boy!
[music plays]
[laughter]
Max: Say, what's
happening, Jim?
Max, are you on
that phone again?
Nah, it's a twinkie
you eat with your ear.
[laughter]
Man: I'll blow
you both away!
Hey, Mr. Man.
Officer: Think
of your mother.
Get back, I say!
Jim: I get it. You run up
the Bill and I pay it.
[laughter]
How.
Jim: I bought the
groceries last week.
Get off my back, will you?
Sorry, lady, not you.
A method of death for
every bug and every budget.
Jeff: I guarantee
small things will die.
What?
Call me.
Exterminator Jeff.
Extermination
is my middle name.
Whew.
[whispers] oh, no.
[gasps]
Arrietty: Ow!
Oh!
Unh!
Wow.
Go on. Go ahead, bean.
Get it over with.
This is incredible.
You can talk.
Get what over with?
The squishing.
You are going
to squish me,
So get on with it.
Why would you want me
to do that?
I don't want you
to do it.
It's just what
beans do.
What's a bean?
You are.
A human bean?
I think you mean...
Never mind. Look, I'm not
going to squish you.
You're not?
No, of course not.
This is amazing.
I knew something strange
was going on in our house,
But I never, ever imagined
our stuff was being stolen--
Stolen? No. We don't
steal, we borrow.
We're Borrowers,
and you're our bean.
Beans provide you
with things to borrow.
But they'll squish you
as soon as look at you.
Who told you that?
My dad.
There are more of you?
Just my dad, my mum,
and my little brother.
There used to be more of us,
but they've gone away.
We're the last
of the Borrowers.
We have to move. The house
is being demolished.
Demolished?
Yeah. My great aunt
left us the house,
But she didn't write it
down in a will,
So now this stupid man
Potter's gonna tear it down.
So we have to move.
But what about us?
You, too, I guess.
This is terrible.
This is...
Terrible!
Maybe there's some way
I can help.
No, no, no, and again, no.
I will not put
the fate of my family
In the hands
of a trap-setting,
Borrower-squishing,
10-year-old bean.
Goes against everything
I was taught,
Everything I believe in.
Your father is
absolutely right...
For once.
Dad, if you'll
just listen--
No! No! No!
It's not going to happen!
[murmuring]
We're inside.
This is
a walkie-talkie.
[squeals]
ow! Ow!
Sorry. This'll
let you know
What's happening
every step of the way.
[slowly] how...Far...Are...
We...Going, bean?
Not far.
The new house is just on
the other side of town,
Next to the old church.
I think it's
about a mile.
A mile?!
Oh, I feel faint.
Listen up, bean!
If anything happens
to my family,
I'm holding you
personally responsible!
Got it?
Yes, sir.
Brought you
something to eat.
And this must be yours.
Dad found it, and
I fixed it for you.
I knew it wasn't mice.
Huh...Ah...
Thank you.
Pete?
He's here, honey.
That's the last of it.
Ooh!
Oof!
Cockpit to corridor. We're
about to pull out. Over.
This is going
to be fun.
[rattling]
Pod: I don't like this.
I don't like this one bit.
We're approaching
the curb. Over.
Bean! You're
going too fast!
Dad, you gotta drive
more carefully.
Aah!
Aah!
[faint yelling]
Dad!
Dad!
Help!
Mum!
Arrietty!
Peagreen!
Help!
Hold on there!
That's it!
Homily:
Peagreen, hold on!
Mum!
Mum!
What shall we do, Pod?
Get the bean on
the walkie-talkie!
Mum!
Bean! Over. Over?
Bean, pull over.
Over?
Dad, you gotta stop.
What for?
I gotta pee.
We've only just left.
You can wait 5 minutes.
Arrietty! Peagreen!
Hold on!
Aah!
No!
No!
I smell gas.
I feel sick.
You gotta
pull over.
Aah!
No!
No!
Pod: Arrietty!
Peagreen!
I can smell gas!
We gotta get out!
Pete, stop it.
Peagreen!
Ughh.
Ugghh.
Ohh, that's
my appendix!
Quit messing around.
Dad, I've got to get out
before they explode!
Peagreen, look out!
Huh?
Aah!
Peagreen!
[squish]
[humming]
[sniffs]
Oh, ha ha ha.
[giggles]
Pete:
Dad, you gotta stop!
Uh, I can't see.
Everything's gone dark.
Um, my leg, ohh!
I think it just broke.
Pete, I'm trying
to concentrate.
There goes the other one.
Please, stop!
Walkie-talkie: Oh, it hurts.
Dad, you gotta stop!
We're going to find them.
Try not to worry.
Try the talkie-talkie
again.
I tried it 5 times!
They don't know anything
about the outside world!
Why did you ever agree
To this ridiculous idea
in the first place?
Me? I was agreeing with you.
I thought it was you--
This is no time
to point fingers!
Think of the children!
They're pretty smart.
They're going to be all right.
But if anything
does happen to them,
There's going
to be big trouble.
Here it is...
The map of the world.
I'm tired, Arrietty.
I hate the world.
I'm staying here.
We can't, silly.
Now, let's see.
This is us...
And Pete said the new house
was next to a church.
Look, it's not far at all.
[humming]
[gasps]
what was that?
Shh.
[falsetto] "I don't
trust banks, Mr. Potter,
So I've hidden the will
in the old house."
[normal voice]
"very wise, Mrs. Alabaster.
Very wise."
[falsetto]
"I've left the house...
"to my young niece
and her family...
"with enough money...
To maintain the property."
[normal voice]
"Joe and Victoria lender...
"and young Pete.
Such a nice family,
Mrs. Alabaster."
[falsetto] "you will
make sure they get it,
Won't you, Mr. Potter?"
"why of course,
Mrs. Alabaster,
You can trust me.
I'm a lawyer."
[thump thump]
[thump thump]
[thump]
Ahh...
[clicking]
What's he doing?
I don't know.
[echoes]
[ka-clink]
[chuckling]
Arrietty:
There is a will!
What are you
on about now?
Don't you see? It means
we can save the house.
[gasp]
[gasp]
[dialing]
Potter here. It's 12:30 now.
I'll be at city hall by 1:00
to register the demolition.
I want you here
and ready to go by 2:00.
I don't care
if it is short notice!
I want this house flattened,
and I want I flattened today!
We have got to get
that will to Pete.
Don't be stupid.
How are we going to get it
away from that huge bean?
I don't know,
but we've got to try.
Hey, but, Arrietty,
I haven't had my lunch!
Pete: Can't feel my neck.
It must be broken.
Dad, you got to stop.
Joe: Here we are.
I can't breathe.
It's so hot in here.
[gasping]
Don't you want
to see the house?
No. I gotta check
my stuff!
I thought you needed
immediate medical attention.
I'm feeling
a lot better now. Thanks.
Where's Arrietty
and Peagreen?
They fell through
that hole! They're lost!
No!
We trusted you,
bean!
We put our lives
in your hands!
You told us
we'd be safe!
[sobbing]
Don't worry.
I'll find them.
No! We'll find them!
From now on, I'm
calling the shots!
Got it?
Arrietty: [whispering]
we have to go faster!
Peagreen: I'm moving
as fast as I can!
Come on, Peagreen.
Lift it a little higher.
I'm doing all the work!
That's not true!
This end's much heavier!
Come on, Peagreen.
This way.
Do you think he saw us?
I'm sure he didn't.
That's the biggest bean
I've ever seen.
Where to, Mr. Clock?
Back to the old house
and pronto!
Right.
Pete?
Where are you going?
Nowhere, mom.
Watch out
for the cars.
I will.
Don't worry.
Come on, squirt,
we've got to hurry.
What for, idiot?
We'll never get out of here
without him seeing us.
We'll get out while the bean
is on his lunch hour.
Always the safest time
with beans.
I still think we should
wait here for mum and dad.
Peagreen, try to understand.
There won't be a here
Unless we get this will to Pete
before that nasty, cheating,
Thieving, evil, greedy,
Vicious, ugly bean
destroys our house.
Ugly? Who are they
calling ugly?
Potter: Arrh!
Arrietty,
we've been seen!
Come on, this way!
Peagreen--
[gasp]
[whispering]
Arrietty.
Aah!
Ow! Ow!
Ohh...
Potter: Oh!
Hurry, Arrietty!
Hurry! Hurry!
Ow!
This place is infested.
Did I ever tell you
About the time
my old friend Minty
Got stuck
in the honey pot?
Yes, you did.
[machine bubbling]
Nice place.
Me and Shelly
have just moved into
A nice little house
near the--
Borrowers.
You've seen
this before?
No.
But I heard the stories.
That's what I thought
they were, just stories.
The fly
with the human head,
Poker-playing rats,
The giant
radioactive cockroaches.
Spare me the folklore.
Can you kill them or not?
Yes.
Extermination
is my middle name.
But why do you want me to
exterminate the Borrowers?
'cause those little rats
stole something very important,
And nobody steals
from Ocious P. Potter!
You mean "borrowed,"
don't you?
What?
They're Borrowers.
They don't steal, they--
Right.
[bubbling]
Peagreen: We're outside
for just 2 minutes
And look what happened!
We fell
inches and inches,
And now look at me.
I'm covered in poo.
Where are we going?
As far away from
that big horrible bean
As we possibly can.
Do you hear something?
No.
[bubbling]
Peagreen: I see it!
Run!
Run!
Insecticide foam.
Fills up every
nook and cranny
And burns on contact.
Burning...
Burning's good.
Arrietty:
It's gaining on us!
Arrietty, help!
Run, Peagreen!
I am running!
Well, run faster, then!
Help!
How long is this
going to take?
How long is this
going to take?
Hey!
Off! Turn it off!
It's stuck!
Turn it off!
Aah!
Aah!
[giggling]
I'm burning! Oh! Aah!
You should never interrupt
an exterminator mid-foam!
Get it off
before it burns!
Get it off me,
you idiot!
Get it off me! Oh!
[tap tap]
My face! What have you
done to my face?!
Nothing. You look fine.
In fact, you look
years younger.
[gasps]
Don't give in
to it, sir.
My mustache.
It's...It's...
Gone, sir.
Them!
Peagreen!
Hurry,
Arrietty, hurry!
Can't you stop
pushing me?
Well, what are you
waiting for?
Incredible.
Amazing.
Tiny little people
moving on the landing.
Would you please get up here
and do something to help me?!
Well?
More foam?
[crash]
[whimpers]
That was a very expensive
piece of equipment.
Shh!
Cost a lot of money.
Shhhh!
[whispering]
Shh! Shh! Be quiet.
Ah-choo!
[echoing]
There.
Aah!
Run, Peagreen, run!
There.
There.
Aah!
There.
There!
There!
Peagreen!
Arrietty!
[muttering]
[whimpering]
Feel better?
Yeah.
Ok.
[whimpering]
[whispers] there.
Now.
Peagreen!
Arrietty!
Aah! Help!
Peagreen!
Aah!
There's the smelly
little pus!
Up here, Arrietty!
Don't just stand there
like an idiot! Do something!
Do it.
Ow! Ow! It's hot!
Help! Arrietty,
where are you?
Help me, Arrietty!
Arrietty: Peagreen!
Peagreen, up here!
Arrietty, help!
Ow!
Peagreen, grab hold!
Peagreen!
Leave him alone,
you big ugly bean!
Pick on someone
your own size!
Peagreen, you're
gonna have to jump!
Come on!
Arrietty, he's coming!
He's coming!
Help me!
Jump, Peagreen!
Peagreen, jump!
Aah!
Well done,
Peagreen.
I hate
those beans.
Me, too.
Come on.
Jeff: What remarkable
little creatures.
Did you see
his little hands?
[strained]
turn...Off...
The...
E-lec-tri-ci-ty.
Pardon?
The...Power...
Turn...Off...
The...Power.
Thank...You.
[thud]
[whap]
oh!
Ow!
Peagreen, look.
Wow!
I never knew there was
so much world in the world.
Somehow we've got
to get to the new house.
Oh, it's too far.
Can't we stay here?
If we stay here, we'll
get squished for sure.
And if we
go out there?
We only might
get squished.
Hmm...
Squished...
Might get squished.
Not much of a choice,
is it?
Look, these wires go
all the way into town.
So?
We'll get there
in no time.
Might have to borrow
one or 2 things first.
Whee-ee-oo!
It's great,
isn't it?
Wheeeee!
I must look ridiculous!
No. No. You look fine,
Mr. Potter, sir.
Look what you've done to me.
I'm a freak!
No, sir, you're still
a very handsome gentleman.
Oh, shut up!
Besides, it's what's on
the inside that counts.
You find those Borrowers,
Or I'll make sure you never
kill in this town again!
I believe it's time
to introduce you
To my secret weapon.
Ohh!
That's your
secret weapon?
[passes gas]
Say hi to Mr. Smelly.
I expect you're wondering
how he got his name?
[passes gas]
No, no, I wasn't.
[passes gas]
Oh, that's awful!
What do you feed
that animal?
I feed him
on cheese.
[passes gas]
I'm letting the dog
smell the little jacket.
Scenting. Scenting.
He's onto it. We're off.
Morning, gentlemen.
Fine day, is it not?
Good God, man!
What happened to your face?
Is there something I can
help you with, officer?
Well, sir...
A slight disturbance
of the peace
Has been reported.
It appears that
an ice cream vendor--
Pest control operative.
[Mr. Smelly passes gas]
Sorry.
It's all right.
Happens all the time.
A pest control operative
And a large man...
That could be you,
couldn't it, sir?
Were seen meeting
outside this house.
Well, it's my house,
and I'll do what I want.
Is it, sir?
I thought it belonged
to the lenders.
Such a nice family.
Well, it's my house now,
so bug off!
Not a very polite way to talk
to an officer of the law,
Now, is it, sir?
I've always said
That courtesy is the glue
that holds society together.
You really ought to put
some cream on that.
Good day, sir.
Arrietty!
Peagreen!
Etts!
Peagreen!
Peagreen?
Peagreen!
[homily sobbing]
It's all right.
They're not here.
Look.
They're going
to the new house!
She's a clever girl.
Oh, thank heavens!
For a moment,
I thought...
I can hardly bear to think
of what I thought.
Looks as though someone's
gone insane with fury.
Arrietty does tend to have
that effect on people.
True, but even so...
What kind of a monster
would do such a thing?
"Ocious P. Potter."
Arrietty: Whee!
Jeff: Sic 'em, smelly.
Oh, that was fun,
wasn't it?
Fun? You must be missing
part of your brain.
Oh, shut up, squirt.
Come on.
[Mr. Smelly panting]
Jeff: Come on.
Oh, no,
they've got a dog.
So?
Well...
Dogs are
really good at...
Smelling.
[Mr. Smelly whimpering]
Ok, follow me.
[cooing]
Uhh...Uhh...Aah!
Peagreen!
[clanging]
[Peagreen yelling]
Help!
[Mr. Smelly barks]
Caught one!
Ah...I was hoping
I'd run into you.
Potter: Not again.
I swung by and got you
a tube of dreamie cream.
Best thing for burns.
I use it all the time.
[sniffing]
Now, let's see,
They recommend
application
Just before bedtime.
Given the urgency
of your situation,
You might just
want to go right ahead.
You went all the way
down to the store
And picked that up
just for me?
Yes, sir.
Don't you have
better things to do,
Like fight crime?
You see, I'm a great
believer in the simple,
Personal, dare I say,
intimate service.
Well, there,
I've said it.
You can only put out
one fire at a time.
Peagreen: Aah!
My maternal
grandmother would--
You know, I could stand here
and listen to you all day,
But I gotta go.
Oh, I'm sorry
to hear that, sir.
I've greatly enjoyed talking
to you, as it happens.
Well, good day,
gentlemen.
Good luck
with the face.
Aah! Arrietty!
Jeff:
Mr. Milkman!
Potter:
Stop that milk float!
Mr. Milkman!
Mr. Milkman!
Mr. Milkman!
Mr. Milkman!
Arrietty: Peagreen!
Peagreen!
Peagreen.
[crying]
What are you
crying about?
Who said that?
You're a borrower.
Well, I was
the last time I looked.
I didn't think there were
any more of us left.
Yeah? Well, here I am.
Living proof.
My name's spiller.
Spud spiller.
I'm Arrietty clock.
Oh! You're an innie.
That explains it all.
An innie?
You know,
a house borrower.
Someone who depends
on beans for a living.
I don't depend on anyone,
thank you.
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have to find my brother.
They've taken him
to the dairy.
Come with me.
Mr. Milkman!
Stop that
milk float!
Mr. Milkman!
Mr. Milkman!
Mr. Milkman!
Potter:
Stop! Please!
Mr. Potter?
Here we are.
It was a water pipe
in the olden days.
Now it's
the spiller expressway.
And this is
the spiller express.
You actually ride around
in this thing?
Sure.
Wow. You're a lot braver
than you look.
Don't be scared, innie.
It's just a roller skate
with a can of paint on top.
It's perfectly safe.
I'm not scared.
And I do wish you'd
stop calling me that.
Why?
It's what you are.
Innies
live in houses.
So you're an innie.
So, if I'm an innie,
what does that make you, then?
An outie?
That's me.
An outie with
a Rusty roller skate.
[whistling]
[bicycle bell ringing]
[bicycle bell
continues ringing]
Arrietty: Wow.
I've never seen anywhere
like this.
It's an automated
bottling plant.
A what?
Oh, no.
What?
Come on.

Hurry--aah!
Arrietty: Peagreen,

Oh, I hate this place.
Follow me.
The door's locked,

Peagreen's stuck
in a bottle, Mr. Clock,
And we can't get in.
Well, try up there.
And, Pete,
I need a pen and a pin
And a piece
of scribbling paper...
Peagreen!
Up here!
Peagreen, don't worry.
This is spiller.
He's an outie.
He's here to rescue you.
Call me spud.
Hello, spud.
[whirring noises]
Right.
[whimper]
What is it, boy?
Can you smell
tiny people?
Ahh.
Cheese.
Ha.
Well, don't eat
too much.
You know
what it does to you.
Not bad for an outie
with a Rusty roller skate.
Peagreen,
grab onto the rope!
Can't I stay here
until it stops?
The bottle is about to be
filled with milk!
But I don't
like milk.
I know!
[hissing]
[gasp]
I'm gonna be milked!
Gonna be milked!
I'm gonna be milked!
Grab it, Peagreen,
grab it!
[grunts]
Yes. Well done, Peagreen.
Now hold on tight.
Yeah.
Help me pull!
He's getting too close!
Come on, Peagreen!
No!
Peagreen!
Peagreen!
No!
Get out,
Peagreen!
Aah!
Peagreen!
No!
Help!
What now, spiller?
What do we do now?
[glass shatters]
End of the line,
vermin!
That's him!
Spiller, we're gonna
be smashed!
[gasping]
Ready?
Ready.
Arrietty,
I've got an idea!
Arrietty:
Almost. Try again.
Yes!
Ready?
Jump!
Whoa!
Oof!
Huh?
[alarm beeping]
[pipes gurgling]
Huh?
[aoogah]
Say "cheese."
Oh!
Aah!
[breathing heavily]
Cheese.
Help!
Fire!
Yes!
[sputters]
Yiiiii!
Oh!
Oh!
[gasps]
Peagreen!
Peagreen!
Speak to me, Peagreen!
Speak to me!
[coughs]
Peagreen.
Come on, come on.
Oh, I hate milk.
Ah, you're alive!
Well done, Peagreen!
You're alive!
Peagreen! Peagreen!
My baby, my baby.
Ohh, my baby.
Uh, ok, mum.
Well done.
Ok, mum.
Heh, uh, ok.
My baby. Yes.
Ok, mum.
Dad!
Dad! Peagreen! Mum!
Arrietty! Well done!
You scared me.
Oh, we're all
together again.
Ohh.
Who's this?
Dad, mum, Peagreen,
This is spiller.
Oh, thanks
for the coat.
You never told me
your dad was an outie.
He is?
You are?
I was.
That was before
I met your mother.
Go, go!
My, my, my.
What a treat.
The whole thieving little
family together at last.
Don't you dare
call us thieves.
We don't steal.
We borrow.
Really? Well, excuse me
while I borrow this.
Hey! Put me down!
Oh, Etts,
you're so brave.
Now...
I think I'll borrow you.
Run, everybody!
Aah!
This way!
Come to daddy.
Aah!
Aah!
Gotcha!
[continuously
breaking wind]
Too much cheese.
[breaking wind louder]
[tape unrolling]
[grunting]
Stick around!
Arrietty: Mum! Dad!
[straining]
Hey!
Pizza face!
What are you doing,
spiller?
Yeah, over here,
you great monstrosity!
Are you talking
to me,
You poisonous
little rodent?
Yeah, I'm talking to you,
fatso!
Spiller,
be quiet.
I bet you think
Just because
you're bigger than us
You can do whatever
you like, don't you?
Yeah, as a matter
of fact, I do.
I bet you couldn't
get a girlfriend.
Whoa!
I'm thinking perhaps
being smothered
By 2 tons of low-fat
dairy cheese
Would be just too good
for you.
No!
Spiller!
Spiller!
Leave him alone!
[grunting]
Any last words?
Yeah...
Good luck with the face,
fatso!
Whoa!
[thrumming]
No!
You know, I'd love
to stay and watch,
But I got a date
with destruction.
[Potter cackling]
[alarm beeping]
Peagreen:
We're gonna be cheesed!
Help!
[squishy footsteps]
Wait! Potter!
Wait. What have you done
with my friends?
Get over it.
Find some kids your own size.
Stop!
You can't do this.
Wanna know what happened
to your little pals?
Huh?
They're about to be
cheesed!
Potter: City hall,
Cueball, and make it snappy.
[alarm beeping]
Peagreen:
We're gonna be cheesed!
Help! Help!
Help!
Help!
Please!
Peagreen, I'm coming!
Are you guys all right?
I never thought
I'd say these words,
But I'm glad to see you,
bean.
Pete, Potter's
got the will,
And he's heading
to city hall.
If you hurry,
you can save our home.
Ok. What about you?
Oh, don't worry about us.
We'll meet you there.
Ok.
Meet us there, Etts?
What are you
talking about?
[thrumming]
[horn honking]
Get a move on, Cueball!
We haven't got all day!
[tires squealing]
[honk honk]
[thundering]
Sir, wait.
Out of my way,
old man.
Could Mr. And Mrs. Patata
please proceed t--
Quick.
Where's town planning?
I need to register
a demolition.
What's the magic word?
Listen,
I'm in a hurry.
I got a house
to demolish.
I'm waiting.
So am I.
Where is it?
Up the stairs,
take a right at the top.
Straight on
through the door.
Climb 4 flights.
I imagine at this point,
You'll have to catch
your breath.
Scuttle up 2 more flights,
bear left,
And turn right at sewage.
You will then see a door
in front of you.
Do not go through
the door.
Instead, go through
the door on your right.
[honking horn]
...And you will see
a fire escape on your left.
Adjacent to the fire escape
is a staircase.
Go up the staircase
3 flights.
Down the hall,
turn right at construction.
Look out for demolition.
You can't miss it.
Is there a faster way?
Walk quickly.
Let's go, Jeff.
We gotta hurry.
Excuse me. Coming through.
Pest control! Pest control!
Sir, wait, wait.
Sir, you are not allowed
in without a pass
[woman on P.A.]
...Canceled.
Excuse me, ma'am,
Can you please direct me
to town planning?
Certainly, young man.
You take the elevator
to the top,
And walk straight ahead.
You can't miss it.
Thank you.
Come on. This way.
Such a nice boy.
P.A.: Colonel Sanders,
please report to sewage.
Aw, put a sock in it!
P.A.: Colonel Sanders
to sewage.
What are you doing here?
Trying to stop you
doing a very bad thing.
Oh, you are, are you?
Yes, we are.
How, exactly?
We haven't really
thought about that yet,
Have we?
Uh, I was hoping
It would
just come to us.
[ding]
Nice try, kid.
All right,
who's in here?
Come on.
Show yourself.
Oh.
[muttering]
Oh!
Ow!
Aah!
Aah!
Aah! Ow! Ow! Oh!
Pod:
Hooray for Arrietty!
Let's go!
Arrietty,
spin that tape!
Mum, Peagreen,
look at me!
One more lap!
Wow.
Whoa.
Take it easy
when you land.
Ah. Well done.
Hello.
It's us again.
I hate
you little people.
Oh, that's a shame,
'cause we love you.
Got it!
Well done, Pod!
That'll teach you
to mess with Pod clock!
[Potter grunting]
Yah!
Peagreen:
Hold on, dad!
Arrietty: Let us go,
you big bully.
Unh!
Oh.
And that'll teach you
to mess with Ocious P. Potter.
Aah!
Aah. Ooh.
Hmm.
What tools of destruction
might we find here, hmm?
Hmm.
Hmm.
Mmm.
Ahh...
Ha!
[click]
[whirring]
[homily gasps]
[Potter making
slurping noises]
Nothing wrong with
a little sucking up.
Quick!
Hold on, everyone!
[clocks screaming]
Hold on, Arrietty!
[vacuum stops]
[fan slows to a stop]
Peagreen: Who are they?
[Potter grunting]
[hoarsely]
get these lines off of me!
Oh, spiller.
You're alive!
Well, I was the last time
I looked.
Minty! Swag!
Dustbunny!
Go! Go!
Go! Go!
Go! Go!
Go! Go!
Go! Go!
Go! Go!
[mutters]
Spiller said
you was in trouble.
Where you been, Pod?
Yeah.
We lost touch.
[men chuckling]
Oh.
Hello, Mrs. Clock.
Well, Minty branch.
It's quite obvious
You haven't changed
one bit.
And I'm so glad!
[laughter]
Go! Go!
Go! Go!
Go! Go!
Go! Go!
Go! Go!
Go! Go!
Go! Go! Yeah!
I'd keep very, very
still if I were you.
You think I'm afraid
of 20 of you little creeps?
Ha ha! I'll squish you!
20?
Did I say 20?
Hmm.
[whistles]
[shuffling noises]
[voices]
Arrietty:
Look! Borrowers!
Up there!
And there!
Homily:
They're everywhere.
Hello, there.
Ugh.
Arrietty, look!
Look up there!
Gang way!
Come on, men.
Come on, flossy.
Come on.
[cheering]
[cheering subsides]
Ahem.
Go on, Pod.
You're on.
Go on, Pod.
Go on.
Go on.
Go on.
Go on.
Go on.
Go on.
Go on.
Go on.
Go on.
Go on, Pod.
Go on.
Go on.
Go on.
Go on, Pod.
[cheering]
I'm Pod clock...
And I'm here to tell you
a thing or two.
We're not vermin.
We're not freaks.
And we're not pests.
We're Borrowers!
[cheering]
Borrowers are quiet...
Cautious...
Inconspicuous...
Alert...
Brave...
And very good
at climbing!
[cheering]
Pod hasn't changed,
has he?
[cheering subsides]
So consider yourself
seen, bean.
We may be small,
But Heaven help
Anyone who thinks
he can squish us!
[cheering]
You tell him, boy!
Well, well, well.
Mr. Potter.
Here it is.
I told you
he had it.
This proves he was
trying to cheat us
Out of our house.
Anything to say
in your defense, sir?
I've been seen.
Borrowers.
Thousands
of tiny Borrowers.
Quiet,
inconspicuous,
Cautious, alert.
Good at climbing.
Very good at climbing.
[honk honk]
Bye!
Bye!
Thanks again!
You take that,
I'll take this.
Pete?
Pete.
[voices]
[boisterous voices
and laughter]
Say, remember when
we borrowed that wallet?
Yes, we borrowed a wallet.
I do remember.
So, dad...
Why did you give up
being an outie?
Well, I always thought
It was best to do
Exactly what your mother
told me to do. Ha ha.
Oh, Pod.
[laughter]
Mrs. Clock, bottoms up.
Bottoms up,
Mrs. Clock.
To our old friends.
Thanks for helping us
save our house.
And thanks--where are
you two off to?
Just going for a little walk
around the garden, mum?
All right, Etts.
Have a nice time.
And be good.
We will. I promise.
[conversation and laughter
resumes]
Well...
Where do you want to go?
I don't care.
Just go as fast
as we can go.
Little people,
were they?
That's what I've been
trying to tell you.
There are millions
of them.
They're everywhere.
They're very good
at climbing.
Mm-hmm.
So what,
I suppose
they have...
They have
little houses,
Do they?
With
little tables,
Little chairs?
Yes, they do.
Mmm.
