Oh, Mr. Ages! What happened?! [gasps] The children...!

Th-They're fine. [breaks into tears] Nicodemus...is...dead.

Oh... [hugs him] Oh, no. [Jenner looks back at her with a scowl as she recomposes herself] You're in great danger. NIMH is coming.

Come, come. Let's...return to the rose bush.

NIMH is coming!

NIMH?!

Yes, in the morning. You will all die unless you leave the farm tonight.

[angrily]

Lies!

Please! You must believe me!

What if it's true?!

We'll all be killed!

Don't panic!

Don't listen! She's hysterical!

[pleading]

Get out, now!

[flies into a rage and backhands her]

YOU get out! [throws off his cape and draws his sword] I've had enough!
