The Borrowers Page #3

Ugh! They're everywhere!

They've got your grandfather's gold

coin. Thieving little pickpockets!

Run, Arrietty! Run!

Don't hurt them!

- Vermin!

Gran, stop, please!

- Arrietty!

Arrietty!

- Come on! Go, go, go, go, go!

Gran, stop!

- Vermin!

Through there.

Please!

- Ow, get off!

What's going on?

- It was them!

Little thieves, with their

little hands, little faces.

He saw them, too. Tell him!

I didn't see anything.

Liar!

- Carol.

I'm not crazy, Robert. I know

what I saw, and so does he.

Go, go, go! Come on!

Go! Jump! Go!

What was all that about?

I built a den under there for my toys.

You OK?

I'm used to it by now.

Come here.

Try not to let it upset you, OK?

Your gran's still getting

used to having us here.

Leave this lot. I'll sort it out when I get back.

Where are you going?

I've taken a night job, just to tide us over.

You look after your gran for me.

Want a house left to come home to.

ARRIETTY SCREAMS

Aaaargh!

Aaargh!

Help! Help!

Help!

OK?

He called you Arrietty.

What?

- The boy, he knew your name!

Look, if you'd have let me go up with you...

How could you be so stupid?

- I'm sorry!

I made sure he didn't

see... see where we lived.

You should never have spoken

to him in the first place.

You should never have been upstairs.

He could've killed you.

- Pod, breathe!

This isn't funny!

I know it's not, but you're turning

purple and you're scaring her.

Maybe if we wait a while, they'll,

they'll forget. We could go back.

No. Now that we've been seen, it's over.

All that work and what I

did on the house - gone!

Yeah, but shouting at her

isn't going to bring it back.

We're alive, that's all that matters.

Where will we live?

Somewhere new.

I've looked outside. There's

hundreds of houses, thousands.

You know, we might even

find some other Borrowers.

Too many beans.

We'll emigrate.

We'll move somewhere far from here.

Somewhere safe.

Come on.

OK.

Let's go.

Move, move, move!

So, um, if I can ask,

how exactly did you find out about

my particular area of expertise?

On the internet.

- Ah, a silver surfer, eh?

Well, platinum blonde, if you will.

Naturally.

Ahem.

Oh, I'm sorry, this is Jennifer,

my international research student.

She has a rare and inquisitive mind.

Rest assured, Carol, anything

you wish to say to me,

you can say in front of her.

So, how can I help you?

I've seen one of them.

One of what, exactly?

One of the little people.

We should have been honest with her.

You said that there weren't any others!

You said we'd have to travel for months.

You lied to me!

Your dad had his reasons.

- Homily.

Stay with your mother.

Oh, where are you going?

To find someone to get us out of here.
