Stop!

It's a mousetrap.

You set it off and that bar will cut you in two.
I've told you before, don't get ahead of me!

— I didn't know.
— It's all right.

You've got a lot to learn, my girl.

Fresh cheese, that is.

It's called Cheddar — your mother's favourite.

Pity we've got nothing to spring it with.

Never mind. Stand back.

— Father!
— I know what I'm doing.

Just watch that bar.

If it starts to move...shout.

— But if you touch the cheese, you...
— Just watch the bar.

Father!

— Are you all right?
— It's all right. You take that.

That's not for beginners.

A rock cake...a nice piece of fringe...

..a grape, two sultanas...

— Avery nice nut.
— Thank you, Lupy. You're very kind.

And a piece of biscuit. Rich Tea.

Oh. Rich Tea. Very thoughtful.

One must help those less fortunate than oneself.

We are sisters. But you wouldn't think so
to look at us, would you?

But then, I married a Harpsichord
and you married a Clock.

— What's that got to do with it?
— I'm not saying Pod isn't good-hearted...

— Then what are you saying?
— Nothing.

It's just that he must realise
that none of us are getting any younger

and he should give up the borrowing
and let my two dear darling sons do it.

Ditchley and Ilrick are the most skilful
Borrowers ever. Look at our store room.

Let me tell you, Pod has forgotten more about
borrowing than your boys will ever know.

Oh, really?

(EXHAUSTED SIGH)

Oh. Evening, Lupy.

— Where's Arrietty?
— She's gone to see Eggletina.

— Has Pod been out borrowing?
— With Arrietty.

— If they'd been seen, we'd have to emigrate!
— If Pod wants to take Arrietty borrowing...

Daughters shouldn't try to be boys.

Why you let her outside
is completely beyond my condensation.

I'm only thankful for my precious Eggletina.
She wouldn't dream of going outside.

Please, Arrietty, take me with you.

I'd love to, Eggletina,
but there's no way your parents will let you.

I know. But I haven't been out since...

But that was years ago. It's such a shame
because there aren't any cats here.

— I've never seen one.
— That wouldn't convince Mother.

It's not fair. You can go out whenever you like.

Because I promised never to talk to another
Human Bean. I'm very careful.

- I'd be just as careful.
— You'll be allowed to one day.

It'll be such fun. You'll be able to watch
and I'll show you everything.

The garden's full of flowers, and the old ladies
are so funny. You'll love it outside.

So, Miss Butter—won't—melt—in—your—mouth!
Eggletina will Love it outside, will she?

— You're a wicked girl.
— No, Mother...

Doing your best — your worst, I should say.
Persuading Eggletina to disobey us.

— But I didn't say that at all...
— We heard it. Didn't we, Hendreary?

— We did indeed.
— She didn't...

— Eggletina!
— What I said...

I know what you said
and you are a wicked, wicked girl.

Wicked! Wicked!

You've got to admit, though,
they've been very kind.

It's... It's just Lupy's manner.
It's so... I don't know.

Bossy. I don't know how Hendreary stands it.
Or Eggletina.

I expect that's why her boys live alone.

Yes. Ditchley and ILrick.

Good Borrowers. That store room's full.

Yes, I know. I only wish...

What?

Well, we weren't all living on top of one another.

Back at the old house
you said you wanted company.

I know, Pod.
But there's company and...company.

— What did you borrow that for?
— I don't know.

We should have got a first for the sweet peas.

Of course we should, dear.

I didn't think the cream teas
were as good as last year's.

No, dear. But I was very impressed
with Mr Huggins' rhubarb.

I don't know how he does it.
Madam Butterfly's beginning to drop.

Off you come.

Oh, look, Hilda!

That poor pelargonium is dying of thirst.

No need to drown it, dear.

— That'll do for now.
— I'll go and put the kettle on.

— Want to buy any pegs, missus?
— No, I do not.

— Do you mind removing your foot?
— I can't. It's attached to me leg!

— Where's the boy?
— That's none of your business.

Oh, it is, you know,
because I believe he knows where they are.

And who, may I ask, are "they"?

You know as well as I do, missus. The Little 'uns.

Would you care for a cup of tea, Mr Mildeye?

Sorry to hear your mistress kicked the bucket.

She'd been bedridden for years.
It was a merciful release.

Who for?

— So, what's going to happen to the house?
— Well, I expect it'll be sold.

What will you do?

More tea?

The boy will still spend his school holidays here.
He's coming on Saturday.

— Is he, now?
— I want you to watch him.

See what he does. I'll pay you.

You leave it to me. I'll keep an eye on him.

Good. Follow him everywhere.

You know you can trust me.

I know how much I can trust you.

Partners.

Yes.

He'll lead me to 'em. I know he will.

Then I'll be rich!

We will.

Don't tell me how to bring up my daughter!

— Someone's got to!
— I didn't want to come here!

— Of course not (!)
— I'd be happy if I never saw you again!

Did you hear that? My own sister!

You think you can say what you like.

— We're the poor relations!
— I don't have to listen to this!

— Good! You know the way out!
— You ungrateful creature! Hendreary!

I'm sick and tired of Lupy's airs and graces.

- I didn't ask Eggletina. She asked me.
— She was a Rainpipe just like me.

— Why shouldn't you ask Eggletina?
— I didn't.

— You see? We can't stay here, Pod.
— What choice do we have?

Live off the land
at the mercy of birds, rats and weasels?

— Oh, yes!
— Don't interrupt.

If it hadn't been for Spiller, we'd have starved.

That's true.

Live and let live, eh?

You put Lupy in her place.
Now swallow your pride and patch things up.

Never!

I said a lot of things I shouldn't have done,
Lupy, and I'm very sorry.

Dear Homily. It was just a silly misunderstanding.

We must let bygones be bygones, mustn't we?

- One big happy family.
— Do sit down.

Oh...thank you.

We're expecting Ditchley and ILrick.
They always bring us something special.

Actually, we've got something
extra special for you. Arrietty?

Oh! Oh, my goodness, Pod.
What a wonderful piece of cheese.

It's Cheddar.

She's such a help in the kitchen.

Sparrow's egg omelette.

— Did you like the soup?
— Very nice.

Carrot, thyme and wild garlic. My very own recipe.

Very tasty. Arrietty?

— Soup. Tasty.
— Yes.

Ditchley and ILrick even bring us fish.

Our dear boys are the best Borrowers
in the whole world.

— We do our best, Mother.
— Ditchley, darling!

ILrick.

— It's wonderful to have you home!
— It's wonderful to be home.

— I see we have...
— Visitors.

Perhaps you should introduce us...
Wait a minute. You're Uncle Pod.

That's right.

— And you're...
— Aunt Homily.

How very nice to meet you again
after such a long time.

I haven't seen you two since Arrietty was born.

— Arrietty?
— That's you, isn't it?

— They're living with us now.
— Oh, yeah?

— They were seen.
— Seen?

— Were they, Mother?
— Yes,

— It happens sometimes, doesn't it?
— Bound to.

— What little extra have you brought us?
— Not too much, as it happens.

But we managed to get...

— Quite a nice little piece of cheese.
— From the pantry.

Oh...it's wonderful.

— Where did that come from?
— Your Uncle Pod borrowed it.

— Oh, did he?
— That is nice, isn't it?

— Very impressive.
— Where did you find it?

Father was wonderful.
He lifted it right off a mousetrap.

— I think I was a bit lucky.
— Yes, you must have been.

Not like when you got seen.

— No, not like that.
— Happened to Dad as well. Being seen.

Yeah. He got dusted on the mantelpiece.
Looks like he ought to be dusted again.

- A quick spring clean.
— In the ear.

— I reckon he's got the moth.
— Got any mothballs?

— (LUPY) You naughty boys!
— That's a long face, Eggy.

— Aren't you pleased to see us?
— Of course I am.

— Course you are.
— Course you are.

— Do you think he needs a polish?
— A bit of beeswax!

Him and his cheese!

— He did it to show us up.
— "Father was wonderful!"

— Lifted it off a mousetrap.
— So what?

— He's showing off.
— This is our house.

— He's got to learn that.
— We'll teach him.

Show the old has-been what real borrowing is.
And it won't just be a Lump of cheese.

— Hello, Mrs Driver.
— I was expecting you an hour ago.

— The train was late and it's a long walk.
— It's under a mile. It's good exercise.

- You came straight here?
— Yes, I did.

— Wipe your feet!
— "Wipe your feet!"

— Close the door!
— "Close the door."

Like to see some real borrowings, Uncle Pod?

Very much indeed, Ditchley.
You've done very well indeed.

— This isn't nothing special, is it?
— Quite normal for us.

— Oh, yes. Quite normal.
— What have you got?

— Do you want to start?
— After you, Ditch.

— OK. Night light.
— Thimble.

— Matches.
— Hair grips.

— Chocolate.
— String.

- More string.
— Tin tacks.

And an elastic band.

— Excellent! Excellent!
— That thimble.

The chocolate!

— Collar stud.
— Soap.

— Buttons.
— Cheese.

— Cotton wool.
— Stuff for dresses.

— A Brussel sprout.
— More stuff for dresses. And a walnut.

Clever.

And now for something a little bit special.

— A half scissor.
— Oh!

How's that for borrowing?

But that's, um... That's...

— That's...
— That's something really special, Ditchley.

— Where did you get that? Come on, tell me!
— Be quiet, Arrietty.

— We found it.
— Yeah.

— Where?
- I don't know. Just lying about somewhere.

— You took it from Spiller.
— Spiller?

You think we stole from another Borrower?

— That's not very nice.
— What's wrong with her?

— That was yours, then Spiller's.
— One looks much like another.

— But, Father...
— Sit down, Arrietty.

— This is Spiller's string.
— He may have lost it.

Not Spiller. Something's happened to him.

— Spiller will be all right. He'll turn up.
— Yes.

— That's it.
— Pod?

— Yes,
— There's no water.

There must be water. You're probably
not doing it right. It's a bit stiff.

I'm not doing it wrong.

No.

Arrietty.

Borrowing shoes?

— Is it serious?
— I don't know. Could be.

(DOOR OPENS)

Mrs Driver!

The doctors say
it could take several months to mend.

— As much as that?
— Old bones knit slowly, I'm afraid.

— It must have been a terrible shock.
— It was.

Hilda's been my companion since Fred died.
I should be lost if I were here on my own.

Yes, of course.

The gas people have been and the water board,
so everything's turned off.

— Much safer.
— If you could pop in, I'd be grateful.

— Here's the key.
— Thank you.

I've cleared out the pantry, but I'd be
so pleased if you would have the jam.

— Oh...how very kind.
— Atchoo!

(BOTH) Bless you.

When will you get to Bognor?

Six something, I believe.
My daughter's meeting the train.

I just hope I've remembered everything.

(DOOR CLANKS)

We'll have to move on again.

— We haven't been seen.
— That's not the point.

— No one to borrow from.
— There's Lupy's store room.

Lupy's store room will soon be empty
with the number of people she's got to feed.

— Nine.
— Exactly.

Don't forget, it's their store room.

Well, when will we have to go?

I don't know.

Got to find a way out first.

Sleep.

I hardly know the woman.

It's a nice enough garden — it ought to be,
the amount of time they spend in it.

The cottage itself is very dilapidated.
The gate needs a good paint.

— Is that the place in Hexwood Lane?
— Yes. Ivy Cottage.

I'm supposed to look after it
for a few jars of blackberry jam! Butter?

Arrietty? Are you still there?

Arrietty?

They must have gone.

— What's he up to?
— Borrowing.

His version of it, anyway.

Hello, little feller.

(HOLLOW CRASHING)

Come 'ere, you little brat!

Get the door.

— Where's he gone?
— Let's see the great Borrower get out of this!

Come 'ere!

I ain't gonna 'urt you.

Oh!

Arrietty!

Come 'ere! Wait till I get my hands on you!

Come 'ere, you little brat!
So you'd hurt me, would yer?

Father!

Come 'ere!

Why you...!

There's no way out. Come to nice old Mildeye.

Come on.

Gotcha!
