Sound the alarm! Sound the alarm! [runs out of the door and Brutus wakes up]
Yow! What in the name of Nicodemus?
She's gone into the canal! And Tim is with her.
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.
We've got to stop them! For Thorn Valleys sake! Spread out along the canal, they wont get far!
[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.
Um... You sure you've flown one of these things before?
Ah hundreds of times. From the ground.
If we die, I'm going to kill you.
We're not gonna die. We're on a mission.
[They fly high up in the sky]
Don't worry mom and dad! I'll save you! Even Dr. Valentine can't stop us!
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!
TA Timmy and Jenny
[the flying balloons are attacked again]
Ahh!
[looks up and sees a hawk] [gasp]
Hawk!
[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!
[the hawk dives at them again and pops their second balloon and fall faster. Timmy and Jenny screams again]
Hang on!
He's coming! He's coming!
[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!
[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!
I told you! If we die I...
Not for long. [helps Timmy out of the vine and on the ground] Anymore bright ideas?
[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]
I don't know, and I don't want to know.
Tim, anything around here look familiar?
[They look around the dark forest]
Nope.
We'll never get to NIMH. Before the full moon. My mom and dad are doomed.
[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.
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!
Cecil The name's Cecil. I'm the owls, spokes bug you might say. You wanna see him, you gotta deal with Ow! Hey!
[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.
[climbs up the tree]
I'm going in.
Anyone here? [looks in the tree hollow]
Did you bring your tribute? Maybe a sparkly?
What?! Then be gone with you!
I'm not going away! [walks inside the tree hollow]
You dare challenge the great owl?
No, I just need your help.
Um who. I mean who goes there?
My name is Timothy Brisby.
Really, I knew a Timothy Brisby once. I mean, who is this Timmy Brisby? Yipe!
[Timmy looks in the room and sees Jeremy the crow tangled up in colored strings]
That smarts. Ow how'd that happen? Help me out of this. Hi Timmy. Remember me? [takes off his wig]
[plays in the tangled string]
Um yeah it's me. Long time no see. Say, could you help me out of this?
[Then Jenny runs up with a stick and whacks Jeremys head with a stick]
Run for it Tim!
Ow! Hey! Do I look like a pinata?
Wait hold on. You know this guy?
Cecil Alright I'll take it from here!
Hey what's going on here?
Cecil [frees Jeremy and he falls down on the ground]
Put a zipper on it before you say something stupid! Make that stupider! And you two! Take a seat! I'm going to tell you what the great owl can do for you!
[Then Cecil swings the vine over to the powdered cushion and the music starts]

Cecil [after the song's over and Jeremy stops spinning and realizes his wig came off]
Your wig!
Oh I see! Wait! That was just, for your own good, an illusion, show business, thanks so much folks. Drive home safely.
Cecil [the forest animal mob surround Jeremy but Cecil quickly runs in front on Jeremy]
Have you no mercy for poor, featherless, molting crow! I mean owl!
FA Forest Animals
Molting? Get that crow! Yeah get that crow!
Cecil Aggh! Get out or die! [quickly runs up on Jeremy who flaps his wings, he flies up while the mob of forest animals tries to grab Jeremy]
Jenny! Tim! Let's re-moose where are you?
Cecil! Jeremy! Hey over here!
Cecil Jump!
[Timmy and Jenny both jumps off the tree branch and lands on Jeremy and they all escape from the forest animals in the sky]
Over speed left hand! What where you two kids doing in the forest anyway?
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.
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.
[They arrive at the city]
There it is.
[They approach the creepy NIMH science building]
Oh. Jeepers creepers. What a, what a spooky place. So, where are we anyway?
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]
Cecil You are on your own kids. What they do to animals in that place. If I go in there, I'll never make butterfly.
[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]
Cecil [claps his hands as he lowers the rope down]
Very nice. You'll make someone a very nice doormat someday.
Cecil. What are you doing here?
Cecil Heroes have sidekicks don't they?
Hero, me? Yeah right. I'm the one who got us into this mess.
Cecil Okay so maybe they won't give you the key to the city. But the last time I checked, no one's perfect.
Cecil No one's perfect.
No, the key. You never know. Can't reach. [pulls out the key and tries to reach the lock]
Cecil That key in that lock. Come on.
If I could just get this hinge pin out. [lifts the hinge with the key and the cage door comes loose and Cecil and Tim comes out of the cage]
Cecil Your right. Yow! Not bad. So what are you waiting for? Applause? A candy graham maybe?
I've learned to listen Ces. I'm thinking things through.
Cecil A plan, Hey, there's a concept.
[Muriel and Floyd are sleeping on the floor]
Roasting rat, rat. Rodent ratatouille.
Surprise! [fires his slingshot at Floyds head]
Ow! Come back! You almost scared me to death!
[Then Floyd and Muriel quickly gets up and chases after Timmy]
Floyd! Floyd! Floyd!
You call yourselves cats? You can't catch me!
[Floyd and Muriel trip on the cord and the tank of water spills on the floor and the cord sparks into a fire]
Now you've done it! Let me at him! Where'd he go?
[They run into the elevator]
Excuse me? Going down? [fires the slingshot at the elevator and hits the button]
Get him! Get him! there he is, Floyd!
[Floyd rips the elevator padding. Timmy runs up the elevator ceiling and the cats jump at him]
Now I have you! Now I have you!
Let me at him! I'll show you how to do it, Floyd! Come on, little mousy! I need that tail to use as a toothpick! Uh, oh.
[Then Tim opens the elevator hatchet door and hits Muriel's face and she lands on Floyd]
Yes! Cecil! Quick! Cecil!
Cecil Hold your horseflies I've only got four hands.
[Timmy hooks the elevator gears with a hook]
Hello again!
[the two cats get stuck as they try to get out of the door hatch]
See ya!
[Then the elevator falls down faster with the two cats, who screaming]
I blame you for this, Muriel!
Cecil [Timmy swings to the floor]
Hey! Thanks for the hand.
Don't mention it sidekick. How's this for adapt and improvise? Gotta help the others. Let's go!
[They swing over to the open elevator door]
Stay away from me!
Jenny! Go help Justin and the lost six, I'm going after Jenny. Jenny I'm coming! [runs in the hall while Cecil goes to help the others]
I'll never be your queen. Let me go! I'm warning you!
Hero! You escaped. How clever.
Oh, poo! I assure you, electrocerebral enhancement is absolutely painless. Look at me.
Please. I may be crazy, but I'm not stupid. You couldn't hit water if you fell out of a boat. Ow! Ow, Ow, Ow!
Quick, Tim. We've got to save my parents. Look out!
Stand still, will you? [attacks Timmy and Jenny with his cane]
Martin, listen to me. Whatever they've done to you, we can make you well again.
How many times must I tell you? I am not the do-ee! [draws his sword] I am the doer!
Run, Jenny! Save the others!
Of course you're sorry. Everybody's sorry, after it's too late. [continues fighting Timmy with his sword] Say hello to Dad for me, okay?
Martin, you don't want to do this!
You're right. But the new and improved Martin does!
[kicks a few books onto Evil Martin]
Here, that’s for being so evil! Read them and weep. Come on, Tim, before he wakes up. Someone's coming.
RG Rat Guard of NIMH
Oh, Uh, Excuse the interruption, Sir. The men await flight instructions for the invasion of Thorn Valley.
Tim, you've got to adapt and improvise.
RG Rat Guard of NIMH
Uh, Sir?
[as Evil Martin]
Oh, goody. Just head north by north by north, as the crow flies. And good hunting.
RG Rat Guard of NIMH
Sir!
That was great. How'd you think of that? Well, let's see if it worked. It did. They're going in the wrong direction. Come on!
