What's taking them so long to decide?

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]

Well I do? I haven't seen them since I came to Thorn Valley.

Jenny

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.
