"They're frightened. Really frightened.

"Even Father...

- "Why?"
— (CREAKING AND SCREAMING)

Aagh!

Aagh!

— What is it?
— It's a screwdriver.

Keep away from it, Homily.
Arrietty, over here. Quick.

Aagh!

— Why did she do that?
— Why do you think?

Sorry.

— Is that your mother?
— It's the boy.

— Yes.
— Could we have our ceiling back?

— That one's your father, isn't it?
— "He". We're not "Its".

— Put it back!
— I've brought you something.

The drawer really opens.

So I see.

— Don't you want it?
— You've always wanted one.

I've seen that before upstairs.

Yes. Thank you.
Now can we have our roof back on?

How about this?

— Tr it.
— Goon.

Oh...yes. Could have been made for me.

It look lovely on the new blotting paper.

— Let's see.
— Steady on!

There. What do you keep in this?

— Coal. Sorry.
— Now look what you've done!

I'll. do that. You'll make more mess
than there is already.

— On my new carpet.
— Are those your books?

Yes. A dictionary.

"The Plays of Shakespeare",
"Tom Thumb", and my diary.

— Will you come and see me again?
— Of course I will

Did you hear that? Did you hear what she said?

— Would you like to see the store room?
— No.

Would you put the roof back again?
We're getting cold down here.

— Shall I nail you down?
— Yes.

— I've got more things.
— Thanks, but...

— What sort of things?
— What sort of things?

— All kinds of stuff.
— What sort of stuff?

— What kind of stuff?
— Carpets, rugs...

— Cooking pans.
— Carpet. Real carpet.

— Ask him how much he's got.
— Ask yourself.

A bird in a cage — not a real one —

and tables and five gold chairs,
a sideboard and a potted palm.

All kinds of things.
I found them in the old toy cupboard.

Just think of it! Real cooking pans,
a dining room suite.

— Maybe we could find a use for some of it.
— I'll bring it tomorrow.

Yes. Perhaps you could nail us down lightly —
just a tap or two here and there.

Right.

Could you come tomorrow afternoon?

— All right. Oh, bring the book.
— What do you want to read?

— Anything.
— I'll wait under the old oak.

— (POD) Well, there's a thing.
— Who'd have thought it?

— Saucepans.
— And a sideboard, he said.

— A potted palm.
— A bird in a cage.

A bird in a cage? Where are we going to put it all?

— In the drawing room.
— We haven't got a drawing room.

No. Not yet we haven't.

— Any knives need sharpening...?
— No, thank you very much.

Any pots need patching?
Chimneys need sweeping?

No. None.

Good day.

He's a bad lot, that Mildeye.

Always was. You can't trust him.

(RAPID FOOTSTEPS)

Mrs Driver, I saw that man...

How many times have I told you to wipe
your feet before coming into my kitchen?!

— But...
— No buts! Do it at once.

— Mrs Driver...
— I want an apology this instant.

— I'm sorry.
— Speak when you're spoken to.

— Do you want to be locked in your room?
— No.

Then be off with you.

GOLLY ACCORDION MUSIC)

“The British Empire covers TS million,
three hundred and 55 thousand square miles.

"Its population is about 475 million people.”

I did say there were lots of us, didn't I?

475 million human beings?

— And how many Borrowers?
— It doesn't say.

— Probably too many to count.
— Probably.

— Does the palm look better here or there?
— Doesn't make much difference.

Of course it does. Here it gets the light
from the door, there it hides the pipes.

— Pod?
— What?

— Advise me.
— Oh...where it was.

— Do you think so?
— Yes.

I don't. I think it's better here.

Do we need all this stuff?

I've had to make do ever since we had that flood,

and now I've got nice things I can be proud of.

We won't be able to move soon.

— Look at all these chairs.
— Yes, Aren't they lovely?

Homily, there are five of them
and only three of us. Who's going to sit in them?

— Someone might.
— Who? When?

I'm keeping them, Pod.

— Where are you going?
— Borrowing.

But we don't need anything.
Anyway, George will get it.

— George?
— That's what he's called — George.

Homily...

Come and sit down in your nice new comfy chair
and have a little rest.

Let George do the borrowing. When you've had
a little rest, you can help me with the piano.

— What piano?
— The one George is bringing.

Who's going to play a piano?

It's not for playing. It's for putting things on.

Arrietty ought to write to the Hendrearys
to tell them about my nice new things.

More like a list than a letter.

If only there was someone we could ask for tea.

"when bending my eyes downward,

"I perceived it to be a human creature
not six inches high

"with a bow and arrow in his hands
and a quiver at his back."

— Do you think he was a Borrower?
— Could have been.

"In the meantime, I felt 40 more of the same kind

"as I conjectured following the first."

— What does "conjectured" mean?
— It's to do with juggling.

— Can't be juggling. Never mind. Carry on.
— Right.

"..following the first.
I was in the utmost astonishment.”

I bet he was!

"And roared so loud
that they all ran back in a fright."

I bet they did!

— You're not frightened of me, are you?
— No.

— I'll. have a surprise for you tonight.
— What?

A present.

— Have you been in the drawing room?
— No, I haven't. I never do.

Well, someone has,
and stolen some of the ornaments.

Gracious. Have they? That's a bit funny,
because I can't find my boots neither.

The silver violin and golden shoe
have gone, for a start.

I made sure I'd left them by the door.

And we've had no strangers around, except...

— That tinker.
— Could be, couldn't it?

"Cept he didn't come inside, did he?

Or is it her?

Mistress? What would she want
with my boots? Anyhow, she's in bed.

But who's to say she stays there?

Who's to say she doesn't
come sneaking down in the night?

Perhaps even taking things.

And then, Mr Crampfurl,
sniggering quietly to herself

before creeping back upstairs
and hiding them in her bed.

— Why would she do that?
— To spite me.

Just so she can ask "Is everything
all right downstairs?" Oh, she's artful

— Sounds strange, taking your own things.
— She'd do it. She's a sly one.

— It could be the boy.
— No.

— There's no telling with boys.
— That's right.

I'll tell you one thing —

whoever it is, they'll be very, very sorry
by the time I've finished with them.

(FOX YAPS)

(CREAKING)

It's George.

— I've got the surprise. Wait a second.
— It's for me.

Look.

Just a minute. Where did you get that?

— From the drawing room.
— Yes, From the glass cabinet near the settee.

Second shelf. Next to the golden...

«Shoe,

The key was in the lock. I just had to tum it.

You can tum it again and take these back!

— Pod!
- Why?

— I've got one of my feelings.
— But they're presents.

You don't take things that'll be missed.
It's a golden rule that must not be broken.

— George?
— George?

George?

Aagh!

Arrietty, Homily! In the passageway!

What's going on?
What are you doing on the table?

— A nest! Down there.
— What of? Mice? Rats?

— It's Crampfurl
— Like mice dressed up.

Like...little people. Faces, hands... There!

There ain't nothing down there. Not alive.

— But I saw them. Hundreds of them.
— Couldn't have.

It's just doll's furniture.
It's some game the boy's been playing.

(SOBBING)

Sshh!

It all seem different in the daylight.
Night plays funny tricks with the light.

Off you go.

They were there.

I'll fix this bolt in the morning.

They've gone.

— Where's George?
— What are we going to do?

We've no choice now.

Emigrate?

(BANGING)

Don't worry. It's me.

— Are you all right?
— Do we look all right?

— I'll put you in the attic.
— There's no water, no food.

She'll tum the house upside down, attic and all

She'll bring in cats and rat catchers and dogs.

— There'll be nowhere safe. We have to go.
— My home...

My poor home.

— George could take us to the Hendrearys.
— Not a badger's set.

— Well, we can't live here.
— I'll. take you tomorrow in the peg bag.

I can't get into a peg...

Aagh!

I knew it! You won't get away!

— Leave them alone.
— You sneaky little dribbet!

You're in league with them. You know
what they do to thieves? They lock them up!

I'm not a thief. I'm a Borrower.

— A Borrower?
— It's not fair! Just leave them alone.

Stop that noise! I'll get the rat catcher,
that's what I'll do. He'll deal with them.

I'll. get a cat and the sanitary inspector
and the fire brigade and the police.

Once a nest is found, the rest is easy.

Don't!

— We've got to get out of here.
— We could get out under the clock.

But then where?
The back door will be shut like the front is.

We're trapped in this house
and there's no way out.

— At the moment.
— What do you mean?

We've got to be ready for a door to be opened.

We'll never get across the kitchen.
The front door's our best bet.

— We can watch it from under the clock.
— The moment the door's opened...

— We run for it.
— I can't.

— I haven't got the puff.
— You will have when the time comes.

How do we find Lupy and Hendreary?
How are we going to live?

We're not going unprepared.
We'll get things together.

Useful stuff — tools, cooking pots,
food and clothes — can go in the bags.

- Oh.
— Come on. Let's get started.

Come on.

Sshh!

All clear. Spread out. Essentials only.

— My jacket.
— I found the bags.

Good girl

My teapot. Where's the spout?

It's here.

My hammer.

— Got everything?
— I can't find any cooking pans.

There.

— That's all that's worth taking.
— Matches.

In the store room. Come on.

That's right.

Matches.

— Arrietty, hurry up.
— I won't be a moment.

— You can't take that.
— It's my diary.

It's too big. We're running for our lives.

I can't leave it. Please!

I'm sorry, but you'll need to help your mother.

If only we could squeeze through the grating.

— Front door's our only way.
— Why don't we ask George to open it?

No. That boy got us into all this trouble.

— But if I asked him...
— I said no.

We're on our own and that's the way it should be.

There's no way we're going anywhere
except the clock. Right?

Come on.

Arrietty, I said come on!

— Take that. I'll. help your mother.
— It's all right.

(LOUD TICKING)

— All right?
— Yes, All right.

I don't know how you can work up here, Pod.

With that great thing going backwards
and forwards making all that noise.

— You get used to it.
— I'll never sleep.

You'll have to try. We'll have to block
that up if they get a ferret.

— A ferret?
— It'Il. be up here before you can blink.

It has to be thought about.

You think about it because I don't want to.

Lie down.

Put this over you.

Try and get some sleep.

— (CLOCK CHIMES)
— Sleep?

Sleep? We'll all be stone deaf in the morning.

Everything's under control, madam.
