Aagh!

Look what you made me do!
You've twisted my ankle.

— I twisted your ankle?
— Yes, you clumsy great...boy!

— I'm sorry.
— So you should be.

Ow!

— Ow!
— Does it hurt?

— Yes, thank you!
— Can you walk on it?

— Of course I can.
— Keep away.

— You're the second one I've seen.
— Who was the first?

And old man. He came into the nursery.
I helped him get a cup.

That was my father. He's not old.
He didn't tell me he'd seen a boy.

— How old are you?
— Older than you.

— You're so small
— I'm still growing.

— So am I. I'm going to be six feet tall.
— Oh, dear!

Never mind.

Arrietty?

— Are there others like you?
— No. We're all different.

— I mean so small.
— Small? Oh, you think you're normal size.

Of course. There's more of my size than yours.

Don't be ridiculous. Imagine a world like that.

My father's seen how much your sort eat —
great mountains of food.

If there were lots of you, there wouldn't
be enough food. That's why you're dying out.

— Who's dying out?
— Human Beans.

But we only need a few of you to borrow from.

— Borrow what?
— Everything we need.

— That's not borrowing, that's stealing.
— No. It's what you're there for.

Human Beans are for Borrowers
like bread is for butter.

There's millions of us. You're the ones dying out.

— Nonsense!
— I can prove it.

— Can you read?
— Of course I can.

— I could go and get a book about the world.
— I don't believe you.

(WHISPERS) Arrietty!

Where are you?

How many Borrowers do you know?

— You don't know any.
— Yes, I do.

There's Mother, Father, Uncle Hendreary,
Aunt Lupy and my cousins.

— In the house?
— My parents are.

Where are the others?

You've no idea, have you? I bet they're dead.

One day you'll be the last Borrower left
because you're the youngest.

They live in a badger sett by Parkin's Wood.

— Bet you've never seen them.
— It's the other side of the world!

It's not. I could run there in minutes.

I'm going home.

Don't go. I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.

I'll. try and find your uncle and aunt.

I could post a letter from you down the hole.

— Would you?
— Where in the house do you live?

— I'll leave it under the door mat.
— Shall I get the book?

If you like.

Arrietty!

There you are.

What are you doing out here?
Supposing you'd been shut out?

— I'm sorry.
— It wouldn't be any good being sorry.

If you want to go borrowing again,
there are rules that must be kept.

Come on. It's time we were indoors.

— Have you hurt your foot?
— I just tripped.

— See? Suppose you'd got stuck out here?
— I didn't get stuck.

What did you see?

The clock and the borrowing room
and a fireplace and a big mantelpiece...

— That's where the Overmantels lived.
— And the garden. The sun was so bright.

— It hurts your eyes, doesn't it?
— I've got brushes.

— Anything else?
— There wasn't time.

And I had one of my feelings.

— A really bad one.
— Perhaps it was a false alarm.

— No, it wasn't.
— What do you mean?

If Father felt something,
there must have been a reason for it.

"Dear Uncle Hendreary and Aunt Lupy,
I hope you are well.

"Father is teaching me to borrow.
Your loving niece, Arrietty.”

"write a letter...

"on the back...of...

"this...

". please."

— Is this the last of the nibs?
— No, there's one here.

— Oh, it's rusty.
— Why don't we go and borrow some more?

We can't use this cork, Pod. It smells awful

— Help keep the rats away.

— Have a smell.
— Stop it.

Have a whiff.

It'll do for the fire.

I didn't know we had these.
I can't remember borrowing them.

What do they do
when we've borrowed something?

— They miss it, of course.
— Get another one. Three safety pins.

Suppose they didn't get another one?

— Another what?
— Another anything.

What would we do if they didn't?
What would we do if they weren't here?

You say the silliest things.

If they weren't there, we wouldn't be here.

— Where would we be?
— Somewhere else.

— With other Human Beans?
— Of course. That's what they're there for.

Human Beans are for Borrowers
what bread is for butter.

— Yes, but if we weren't here...
— Arrietty, stop dragging that wool around.

— What are you writing?
— Nothing.

Well, it must be something. I can see the words.

It's about you taking me borrowing.

— Where does it say that?
— There.

— Read what it says.
— Why?

I'm interested.

Not every father has a daughter
can read and write. Go on.

All right, then.

"Father took me borrowing
for the first time. Went outside.

"It was sunny and the flowers were nice."

It's good.

— Clever girl
— Pod, look at the state of this.

— It wouldn't take long.
— What wouldn't?

— To get a new carpet.
— Nothing wrong with this one.

How can you say that?
Anyone would think we lived in a badger sett.

A new piece of blotting paper
would make all the difference.

— Would it?
— You know it would.

Arrietty, borrowing shoes.

— If it's no bother.
— No. It's fine.

Thank you.

The morning room's safe when it's been dusted.

So is the drawing room,
but we've got no call to go in there.

— Why?
— There's nothing in there we need.

It's got a glass cabinet in it full of snuff boxes,
shepherdesses and a silver violin.

You can't eat a silver violin, can you?

Ready?

Remember — we look, we listen and then...

We move.

All clear.

— I said stay close to me.
— Sorry.

Stand back.

A nice smooth swing.

And then...

You let the rope carry it through, see?

— And then?
— Make sure it's secure.

That's enough.

Father! Father!

— What? What is it?
— I was just going to say be careful

Fine. Thanks.

Mind your head.

There. One day you'll be able to do that.

— It's wonderful
— Yeah.

It's high, that desk.
You've got to know what you're doing.

Right. Come on.

Right, let's be off.

Quick! This way!

He makes more trouble for me with his mischief.

I reckon he's got a ferret.
He's always snooping round the garden.

It was a big mistake taking him in.
Always trouble are boys.

— They like ferrets.
— Three days running he's had the mats up...

I put that straight this morning!

There. He'll be in trouble
when I get my hands on him.

Mr Crampfurl, mind your feet!

I don't want half the garden
trodden all over the house.

Sorry about that.

Perhaps you'd like to join me later
for a glass of Madeira?

— She's got so much in the cellar.
— Very nice too. Shame to waste it.

Uncle?

Are you there? Uncle?

I brought this letter for you. See?

Please be there.

What have you been doing?
You've been up to no good.

What do you mean by throwing
all my door mats around the house?

— I wasn't...
— Don't you dare answer me back!

It's bad enough not being consulted about you
and all the extra work it makes for me,

without having to put up with your cheek!

I wasn't being cheeky, really.
It wasn't my idea to come here.

— You're hiding something from me, aren't you?
— No.

— Yes, you are.
— I'm not,

— What is it?
— Nothing.

— You're lying. I can see it in your eyes.
— I'm not,

It's a ferret, isn't it?

I knew it! A ferret.
Vermin running all over the house.

I won't put up with it. You get rid of it.

Then stay in your room
until I say you can come out. Go on!

"It's been five days. Haven't seen the boy.

"Has he delivered the letter?
Perhaps the Hendrearys aren't there any more.

"Maybe we're the last."

I've got to know.

(CLUNKING AND CREAKING)

Boy... Boy.

Wake up, Boy.

— Who's there?
— It's me.

— Who's me?
— Me. Arrietty.

— Arrietty who?
— Arrietty Clock. Down here.

— How did you get into my room?

Very funny. Do you live up here?

— Maybe.
— Whereabouts?

Here and there.

When I brought that book, you'd gone.

— I had to.
— Why?

My father called me.

— Did you take the letter?
— Yes. And I brought one back.

- You did?
— A message from your uncle.

Show me.

Drop it, then.

— Will you tell me where you live?
— No. Give me the letter.

— I won't tell anyone else. I promise.
— Give it to me.

I haven't said anything
about seeing you to anyone.

Give it to me!

"we are well. Yours fat—fully, UH."

— UH? Oh, Uncle Hendreary.
— What's "yours fat—fully” mean?

— I think it means they have plenty to eat.
— Do you?

Most of the time. When Mrs Driver bakes,
the smell comes through the floorboards

— and makes me very hungry.
— Yes, it must.

Arrietty!

Father.

In there, my girl.

— Off with that bag.
— Can't we talk about this?

— We certainly can!
— I was going to tell you.

— It's easy saying that now!
— What is?

Arrietty, why are you out of bed?

— Your daughter's been upstairs.
— Upstairs?

In the nursery. The boy's still here.

She's been talking to him.

Oh, no.

— Oh, yes.
— How could you?

It's all right. It really is. Look.

What's that?

A letter to Uncle Hendreary. The boy delivered it.

Human Beans delivering letters. Whatever next?
How could you go and talk to him?

I didn't go and talk to him.
I was seen by him. I couldn't help it.

I know I should have told you.
I just didn't want you getting all upset.

Anyway, you knew about him already, didn't you?

And you didn't tell me, did you?

He said we were a dying race.

I had to find out if Uncle Hendreary
and Aunt Lupy were still alive.

And they are, because he wrote back. Look.

— "we are well. Yours fat—fully, UH."
— Yours faithfully.

— I see. He can't spell.
— That's not the point.

— I'm trying to save us.
— Trying to finish us off.

I got in touch with Uncle Hendreary and Aunt Lupy
so we can all stick together.

— Are they supposed to come back here?
— Or us live with them out in the open?

— But if we went...
— Wait!

The fact is you told a Human Bean where we live.

— I haven't! I wouldn't!
— You have! I heard you.

She said the smell. of cooking
coming through the floorboards made her hungry.

— He's only got to put two and two together!
— Oh, Arrietty!

What you've done has never been done before.

Never in all our long history.

Borrowers have been seen,
or might even have been caught,

but no Borrower has ever told
a Human Bean where they live.

— I didn't mean to.
— I know you didn't.

But if you hadn't talked to him, we wouldn't
be in the terrible danger we're in now.

— Don't frighten her.
— It's the truth, and she's old enough for that.

Besides, it's not just us.

She told him where the Hendrearys are.
They could be done for.

— How could you?
— He's just a boy.

He's a Human Bean!

— He hasn't done anything to us.
— He didn't know where we are.

— I don't think Human Beans are that bad.
— They're good and bad. You just don't know.

And you can never trust them!

I'm telling you, from now on,
you steer clear of 'em.

Not just this one. All of them!

What are we going to do now?

I don't know.

Probably have to leave.

"They're frightened. Really frightened.

"Even Father...

"Why?"

(CREAKING AND SCREAMING)

Aagh! Aagh!
