We were on our way to see my parents.
Jenny this is Jeremy. He's the one who flew me to Thorn Valley a long time ago.
Jeremy Happy to meet a pilot. Will that be first class or coach? Listen crackers, in the middle of my neck. This is the greatest isn't it guys? The wind in your face. The bugs in your teeth. Not a care in the world.

Oh. Jeepers creepers. What a, what a spooky place. So, where are we anyway?
Jeremy NIMH?! What?! Any place but NIMH?! Okey dokey, That's it! Last stop! Everybody, get off my back! [crash lands on the ground outside the gate of NIMH]
You are on your own kids. What they do to animals in that place. If I go in there, I'll never make butterfly.
Jeremy [Timmy and Jenny looks at the NIMH science building]
That's it! I'm not going one feet of farther. Um One farther. Further. One feather further. I've, got to get out of here!
[Jeremy and Cecil take off while Timmy and Jenny sneak inside the building]
