Mrs. Brisby : I went to see the Great Owl.
Mr. Ages : The Owl. You say you saw the Owl?
Mrs. Brisby : Yes. And he said I should ask for Nicodemus.
Mr. Ages : I know Nicodemus.
Mrs. Brisby : He lives with the rats.
Mr. Ages : More specifically, he's the leader of the rats.
Mrs. Brisby : You know him?
Mr. Ages : [abruptly] No one has ever seen the Owl! And live to tell about it.

Mrs. Brisby : Forgive me. I just noticed you were limping.
Mr. Ages : That is none of your affair. Now, to what you are about to see in here, you must swear absolute secrecy.
Mrs. Brisby : Yes, I...
Mr. Ages : Swear it.
Mrs. Brisby : I promise.
Mr. Ages : If any of this ever got out, we'd have humankind bulldozing their way down here to blow the place apart.
Mrs. Brisby : Is it always so dark?
Mr. Ages : We're down three feet.

Justin : It's Jenner. He's at it again.
Mr. Ages : There blows an ill wind.
Justin : He's before the council now. This time he's attacking Nicodemus openly.
Mr. Ages : And the plan, no doubt.
Justin : Nothing will come of it. It'll pass.
Mr. Ages : Beware, boy, he's dangerous. Jenner could be the undoing of the rats of NIMH.

Jenner : Friends, we cannot move the Brisby home.
Mr. Ages : We can't just leave it here in the mud.
Jenner : The equipment is a shambles.
Mrs. Brisby : [offscreen] Justin!
Jenner : One day, we shall journey to Thorn Valley, just as Nicodemus wanted. But not now.
Mrs. Brisby : Justin!
Mr. Ages : Mrs. Brisby.
Jenner : Come. Let us return to the rosebush, where we belong.

Mr. Ages : Your son has pneumonia.
Mrs. Brisby : Pneumonia?
Mr. Ages : It's not uncommon, but you can die from it.
Mrs. Brisby : Please, dear God, no.
