[Winding]
[Squeaking]
[Snap] Ouch!
[Sighs]
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!
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!
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!
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!
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]
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!
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?
Hey!
Off! Turn it off!
It's stuck!
Turn it off!
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.
Aah!
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!
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!
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, are you ok?
Oh, I hate this place.
Follow me.
The door's locked, Mr. clock.

Oh, no! He's heading towards the milk!
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!
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!
[Gasps]
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!
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!
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! 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.
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!
[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! 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, pod. 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.
