THE GREAT OWL: Why have you come?

MRS BRISBY: Please...for-forgive me for disturbing you...but my son's life is in great danger. The plow has come early this year...

THE GREAT OWL: Move your family.

MRS BRISBY: Yes...I would move, but Timothy has pneumonia. He can't even get out of bed.

THE GREAT OWL: You must move to a place where it will be safe from the plow.

MRS BRISBY: Please...there must be another way.

THE GREAT OWL: There is no other way. I must bid you good evening, Misses, uh...?

MRS BRISBY: Misses Brisby.

THE GREAT OWL: Brisby? Misses Jonathan Brisby?

MRS BRISBY: Why yes! He was my husband! But how do you know about him?

THE GREAT OWL:  That is not important. I will say this...his name is not unknown in these woods.

MRS BRISBY: Please...I'll do anything to save Timmy. Anything.

THE GREAT OWL: There is a way. Go to the rats.

MRS BRISBY: But I don't know any rats!

MRS BRISBY: No rat could move my house! It's...

THE GREAT OWL: They have ways!

MRS BRISBY: He said to go to the rats.

JEREMY: Rats. What rats?

MRS BRISBY: The lee of the stone...

JEREMY: Misses Briz! Briz! Oh, excuse me, pardon me.

MRS BRISBY: Jeremy? What on earth?

JEREMY: I'm in (1)____________!

MRS BRISBY: Oh....would you?

JEREMY: Yeah, sure! That'd be terrific practice! Girls can't resist a guy who's good with kids, you know, domestic type. Play games, help out, domestic!

MRS BRISBY: Yes. Yes, domestic. Now whatever you do, don't tell them where I am.

JEREMY: My lips are sealed, Misses Briz.
