T Timmy
Justin, where to tonight?
Justin
Where the humans live. To collect things they throw away. Shh. We're almost there.
T Timmy
What do I have to use a whistle for anyway?
Brutus
Ohh. To warn us, in case killer shows up. Heh heh.
Brutus
The meanest, baddest watchdog around these parts.
Justin
Yeah, he could be anywhere. So keep your eyes open.
Justin
[Justin and the mice sneaks over to the dumpster but Justin blocks Timmy's path]
Hold it.
Justin
You stay here and keep watch.
T Timmy
But, I wanna be in on the action.
Justin
You're not ready to be a hero Tim.
Brutus
[gives Tim a whiste]
Don't blow it kid! I mean... you know what I mean.
Justin
No buts. You're part of a team. Stay on guard.
T Timmy
Tag along Timmy! That's all I'm ever gonna be! I'm never gonna see any real action! [throws his whistle to the ground]
Justin
Almost there! Let's keep it down! Keep it down!
[Justin and the mice climb up to the dumpster]
Jenny
What's taking them so long to decide?
T Timmy
Don't worry Jenny. Mr. Ages says good things comes to those who wait.
Jenny
I can't wait! Do you have any idea what it's like at NIMH? They're living in cages waiting for the scientist to do, who knows what to them. How could you know. I mean, just look at this place. But no one here ever worries about their family. [looks over the balcony and watches the mice playing in town]
T Timmy
Well I do? I haven't seen them since I came to Thorn Valley.
Jenny
[gasp]
They're here. [Justin and Mr. Ages walks in the room] The answer's no, isn't it?
Mr. Ages
We're very sorry.
Justin
The council decided that the risk to Thorn Valley was just too great. We can't go.
Jenny
I guess I'm going to have to do it myself. I'm not going to let anything happen to my mother and father and that's that! [tries to walk out but then, Brutus blocks Jenny's path]
Brutus
I can't let you leave.
Mr. Ages
Sound the alarm! Sound the alarm! [runs out of the door and Brutus wakes up]
Brutus
Yow! What in the name of Nicodemus?
Mr. Ages
She's gone into the canal! And Tim is with her.
Brutus
Doh! Get the others! I'll catch them at the bridge! [runs over to the bridge and sees the saltshakers floating and grabs both of them] Okay! Party's over! What? Huh, What the... Well what do you know.
Justin
We've got to stop them! For Thorn Valleys sake! Spread out along the canal, they wont get far!
Justin
[Justin and the mice run around, meanwhile up in the tree, Tim and Jenny in the basket open the trash can with three helium balloons floating their basket into the sky. And Justin looks at the trash can]
What? Well I'll be.
Jenny
Um... You sure you've flown one of these things before?
T Timmy
Ah hundreds of times. From the ground.
Jenny
If we die, I'm going to kill you.
T Timmy
We're not gonna die. We're on a mission.
Jenny
[They fly high up in the sky]
Don't worry mom and dad! I'll save you! Even Dr. Valentine can't stop us!
T Timmy
NIMH, here we come!
Jenny
I gotta admit. The view is not too shabby.
TA Timmy and Jenny
[are about the kiss, when suddenly, their flying balloons are attacked]
Ahh!
Jenny
What was that?
TA Timmy and Jenny
[the flying balloons are attacked again]
Ahh!
T Timmy
[looks up and sees a hawk] [gasp]
Hawk!
T Timmy
[the hawk dives down at the balloons and pops one of them causing Timmy and Jenny to float down fast and Jenny screams. Their basket tips over and Jenny grabs Timmys foot]
Hold on!
Jenny
Tim!
Jenny
I'm falling!
Jenny
Here it comes!
T Timmy
It's gonna be okay!
T Timmy
[the hawk dives at them again and pops their second balloon and fall faster. Timmy and Jenny screams again]
Hang on!
Jenny
He's coming! He's coming!
Jenny
[Then Cecil the caterpillar climbs out of the tree hole and sees Timmy and Jenny falling forward down and sees the hawk diving after them. Cecil screams]
He's after me!
T Timmy
[Then the Hawk pops the third and last balloon and Timmy and Jenny scream. They safely land but Tim's foot gets caught in the vine]
Whoa! What a ride!
Jenny
I told you! If we die I...
T Timmy
Hey we're still alive.
Jenny
Not for long. [helps Timmy out of the vine and on the ground] Anymore bright ideas?
Jenny
[the both run in and the hawk dives for them]
Hurry Tim! In there!
Cecil
[They run in the hole of the tree and the hawk tries to kill them, then Cecil blows the log making awful noise to the hawk and the hawk flies away]
And don't come back! [claps his four hands]
Jenny
Is he gone?
Jenny
What was that?
T Timmy
I don't know, and I don't want to know.
Jenny
Tim, anything around here look familiar?
T Timmy
[They look around the dark forest]
Nope.
Jenny
We'll never get to NIMH. Before the full moon. My mom and dad are doomed.
T Timmy
[Cecil eavesdrops on Tim and Jenny's conversation]
Poor Martin. Hey! we could look for the great owl. That's what my mom said to do.
Cecil
[thinks up an idea]
Birds! Bugs! And Beasts! Stir your stuffs! Come and see the great owl! I don't care if you wear flesh, fur, fins, or feathers! You got a problem! The owls the Bible with the answer.
Cecil
[Tim and Jenny runs over to the tree where Cecil the caterpillar stands. Tim looks up at the tree and climbs up. Cecil grabs Tim's tail with his stick and pulls him down]
Hey not so fast short stuff. The way it works is this. You want something from the owl. You've got to have something for the owl.
T Timmy
How about this. [pulls out his slingshot out of his vest]
Cecil
A twig? Ha! Where in the forest can you bring a twig? What's next? A leaf? Some dirt? Beat it kid! Go find a nice trap to play in!
T Timmy
Who are you anyway?
Cecil
The name's Cecil. I'm the owls, spokes bug you might say. You wanna see him, you gotta deal with Ow! Hey!
Jenny
[steps on his shoe]
The owl! Now!
Cecil
Easy on the tootsie, tootsie! I've paid good money for this pedicure. In there. Mention my name and you'll get a good seat.
T Timmy
[climbs up the tree]
I'm going in.
