Ahem.
All I know is that for three weeks every year,
All right, boys, I still got the top score, yeah?
All that work and what I did on the house gone!
All these years, I've wanted to get away.
An enigma wrapped in a quandary a cryptic conundrum secretly scrawled
Anatomical analysis physical tests, blood work.
And do I get a thank you?
And I know where you can find a whole load more of them.
And I thought I could keep up the repayments.
And keep her safe, I was told, and I get the coin! I kept her safe!
And risked his life to do it too.
And soon they all will be.
And they're laughing at us. But I'll have the last laugh.
And we'd have been taken too! Come back.
And yet, the very notion
And you end up forgetting about what's really important.
And you wonder why your father kept you under the floorboards.
And you've been getting them every night!
And your...and your attics, and when things go missing,
And, er, Atelerix albiventris, the African dwarf hedgehog,
And...and quite annoying. Actually, very. And arrogant!
Anywhere you want. Back to the Underground, wherever you choose.
Apologise! For what?
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING FROM SCREEN

Are you all right?
Are you jealous?! Hey, I don't do jealous.
Are you OK?
Are you OK? Yeah.
Are you sure you know what you're doing?
Aren't you gorgeous?
Argh!
Argh! Arrietty, run!
Argh! You're pulling my face off! Let him go!

Be quiet, Jennifer!
Beans are coming! What? No, they're not.
Beans.
Because Arrietty's just about to save us. What?!
Because Homo sapiens redactus lives amongst us! You Philistines!
Because I want that coin. And I need to keep you safe to get it.
Because you took...sorry, 'borrowed', the other things.
Been more careful. I wouldn't have been seen.

But I'm glad you're here.
But I've only just found you.
But now, we really need to get out of here.
But there is something else you could do to get my gran's attention.
But this is your favourite game.
But you should be proud,
But you're my idiot,
By keeping me under the floorboards? You're still young.
By the way, I was wondering, is there a Mr Driver?
Calling us names like that!
Can I have a closer look?
Can we do it again?
Can you get us back home to my old home, I mean?
Can you give me a hand?

Do you want some rat? It's good.
Does this mean I get to dissect the little skebangas?
Don't be silly, Etty, your dad's far too clever to get mixed up with those creatures.
Don't be. Take her, Spiller.
Don't call him that.
Don't come running to me because these people are watching us.
Don't hurt them! Vermin!
Don't just jump out of the way!
Don't know how you mean.
Don't let them escape!
Don't look at me like that. I meant what I said. I still don't like you.
Don't think it's because I like you. I don't. So why did you come back, then?
Don't touch. They're wily little weasels.
Don't you say that!

Hey, hey! Not the face!
Hey, I didn't know she was your daughter.
Hey, I've got the car. I'll be waiting for you.
Hey, you're shivering.
Hey!
Hey! That... Who is he?
Hi? Don't 'hi' me. Didn't you see my daughter there?
Hi.
Hi. My name's Spiller.
His name's Professor Mildeye. He has them in his laboratory.
Hmm, I think I'll use ultrasound...
Hmm?
Hmm. Strawberry cream for dessert every night. Nuts. Chocolate...
Hold him! Hold him! Pull!
Hold on tight.
Homily, don't start!
Homily, just let her get on with it.

Hoover? What hoover? I could hear through the floorboards.
How about I show you?
How about I show you?
How could you be so stupid? I'm sorry!
How did it go?
How did this get here?
How do people know Dad?
How do you know my dad?
How do you know my dad?
How do you know the words to this?
How exactly did you find out about my particular area of expertise?
How long have you been standing there listening to me?
How?
How? How is it going to be all right?! How can you say that?!
Huh?
Humping meat around is so we can afford a nice Christmas.
I am.
I believe these creatures to be scavengers.
I built a den under there for my toys.
I can't believe she was right.
I can't see any... Wait... I can see some footprints.
I could tell you were spoilt.
I cut the crusts off so your hair won't go curly.
I didn't know what I was doing! If you'd've taught me...!
I didn't say that.
I didn't see anything.
I didn't see anything.
I don't believe you.
I don't care about Christmas.
I don't care what you call it,
I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but is this the only one you have?
I don't need to. Aunty Julie always gets me socks.
I don't think so.
I don't think that's what your father's worried about!
I don't understand. The matches will dry, we'll get you out.
I don't.
I dread to think. I'm just glad Etty's safe.
I found a guide. He's going to take us to a house far away from here.
I guess we'll find out tomorrow.
I had a word with your dad about taking you upstairs.
I had it under control.
I hate you!
I have to say, I find it a little disconcerting that you had that
I haven't got close to strawberry cream in years,
I haven't got your stupid coin!
I hope it's nothing too serious.
I hope you've got something else for us to eat.
I just don't understand... How is it possible?
I just saw those two. Oh.
I knew I'd win you round in the end.
I know it's not, but you're turning purple and you're scaring her.
I know your reputation, but I have to ask.
I know.
I lived in a hole.
I love you, Dad.
I made sure he didn't see... see where we lived.
I made you a sandwich.
I mean, isn't it...isn't it excellent how your grandmother copes?
I miss her.
I miss them.
I picked it up. They sing it every borrowing season.
I promise.
I really don't like you.
I really thought you were dead. No, not even close.
I see you've met our guide.
I shall join the pantheon of scientific greats Darwin, Mendel.
I should've let you get sucked up by that machine.
I suggest we get moving now!
I suppose I must've been wrong.
I suppose that's why we find it so alluring, isn't it, Clive?
I take it Dad's not home.
I think he'd rather his dad was around than some swish toy.
I think I'd rather believe your grandmother on that score, thank you.
I thought I'd done something right for a change!
I thought I'd never see you again!
I thought they'd gone for ever.
I thought we agreed not to speak to them!
I thought we could put them up on the roof. Gran's got a ladder in the garden.
I thought you didn't want to be like him.
I thought you were doing something noble, something brave.
I took it.
I understand the creatures of the world at a cellular level,
I want those clothes off by the time I get back.
I wanted it to be special.
I was just playing.
I was only borrowing it.
I was thinking maybe we could stay here?
I was trying to do right by you.
I was worried sick.
I was wrong.
I will be cross, but not as much as if you lie.
I won't rub you up any way.
I wonder where they've gone.
I wouldn't be able to keep me eye on her.
I wouldn't go that far.
I'd better get to bed.
I'd have thought of something.
I'd have thought of something.
I'll be able to do it.
I'll be cleaning myself for a week.
I'll be vindicated! I will be vindicated! I will!
I'll see you soon.
I'll see you soon. Make sure you look after Spiller.
I'll show you.
I'm 16!
I'm going to lower down another trap now.
I'm not crazy, Robert. I know what I saw, and so does he.
I'm not doing anything.
I'm not hiding anything. Have a look if you like.
I'm not putting up with her insults
I'm nothing like him.
I'm on my way now.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sure of it.
I'm used to it by now.
I've always been solid behind you.
I've been an idiot, haven't I? Yes, you have.
I've been seen. Get your things. Come on, come on!
I've been waiting for this moment all my life.
I've looked outside. There's hundreds of houses, thousands.
I've seen one of them.
I've taken a night job, just to tide us over.
I've tried to imagine what it looked like, the sky, the houses.
If anything's happened to Spiller... He'll be fine.
If I didn't do it, I wasn't going to get my reward, was I?
If I wasn't, you wouldn't like me.
If it wasn't for me you'd have been sucked up into that machine.
If Mildeye's got him, we're going back.
If not THE greatest discovery in natural history we've ever known.
If she says so, I believe her. Hurry!
If that was supposed to be funny...!
If that's someone breaking in, I suggest you break back out again.
If you didn't want for nothing,
If you want to get out, this is your last chance.
If you were planning to set a trap for Homo sapiens redactus,
If you'd shown me how to borrow, I'd have...
In years to come, this will be regarded as one of...
Indeed. Behold.
Is it worth a lot of money?
Is James in?
Is that an offer?
Is there any sign of our quarry?
Isn't it?
It certainly has.
It really wasn't as bad as it sounds. Arrietty...
It runs all the way out of the city. Beans never come down here,
It serves you right for nearly running me over.
It should be comfortable.
It was there. My wristwatch was on the wall.
It was too dangerous! You're as bad as each other!
It wasn't ours to give... Remember, we don't take things.
It'll get easier. Yeah, I know.
It's all right. It's not.
It's amazing.
It's been a while.
It's bigger.
It's called snow.
It's fascinating, isn't it?
It's going to be all right.
It's just that there's only one of it.
It's no use. It's too heavy.
It's OK to admit it. Even I am a little bit.
It's really changed here.
It's so unfair!
It's too late. They're here.
It's worth a try.

Look, if you'd have let me go up with you...
Look, there's nothing we could've done. We could've tried!
Look, you can't go after them. They're gone!
Looks like two. Three, maybe.
Maybe I had another reason.
Maybe if we wait a while, they'll, they'll forget. We could go back.
Maybe that's a good thing.
Maybe this year it'll be something different.
Merry Christmas!

Sorry.
SPILLER SIGHS
Spiller, is that you?
Spiller, we haven't got time for any of your stupid games!
Spiller, what happened?
Spiller!
Spiller! Go! I'll be fine! Run!
Stay with your mother.
Still, it'll be an adventure, won't it?
Still, it's gone...
Stop that car!
Stop that infernal contraption!
Stop!
STRAINS
Sustenance will naturally be provided.
Switch it back on, it'll escape!
Take care.
Tell her we won't rest till we've captured all of these creatures.
Tell me the truth now, and I won't be cross. Well, that's not true.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you... Thank you all for your patience.
Thanks for giving back the watch and the mirror.
Thanks! You're amazing!
That looks like your grandfather's gold sovereign.
That probably explains why you had it so good
That separate cultures individually dreamt up the same myth,
That she's got the same sense of adventure as you.
That the Earth revolves around the sun, but I am not so easily turned.
That was the furthest yet!
That would've been a change!
That's because you haven't got to know me yet.
That's because you haven't got to know me.
That's him! You're alive!
That's it, Henry, don't let him escape.
That's right. You've got to realise that borrowing is boring.
The attention of the scientific community will tomorrow
The beans are coming! Are you sure?
The beans leave rich pickings for us Borrowers.
The boy made the most extraordinary suggestion.
The camera's set up, ready to broadcast across the net.
The candle! Maybe we could melt the frame.
THE CAR BANGS ALONG THE VENT
The greatest discoveries in scientific history.
The hoover?
The implications of them are extreme...
The inquisition may have forced Galileo to recant his notion
The little people?
The little swine.
The mattress has real springs and everything.
The Professor wants them to get a good look at your anatomy.
The pygmy hippo, Choeropsis liberiensis.
The South African tokoloshe. Let's not forget the tokoloshe.
The strawberry creams. Every one of them's been eaten.
The table, now! Gran!
The triumphant warrior returning, having slain the beast...
The Yunwi Tsunsdi of Cherokee legend, the Scandinavian Smallfolk.
Their domestic constructs are not so different from our own.
There are photos. As there are of the Loch Ness monster.
There are references to 'little people'.
There aren't other Borrowers round here.
There isn't anything. Gran, please!
There we go! Get it, Henry! It's under the sofa.
There were beans, and a cat, and then I heard a loud thump.
There'd be no reason for you to go getting into trouble, would there?
There's a nest of them under the floor. It makes my skin crawl thinking about it.
There's a problem with the specimens.
There's just one thing still missing.
There's no way out.
There's no way she's going to let Spiller take her to the Underground.
There's no wrappers. It's like they've disappeared.
There's someone there who I think can help.
There's speculation he'll reveal it to us.
There's the air vent.
These are your toys, you can't!
These creatures do...ex...
These were the only two we captured. Why? Have you see any more?
They can't be trusted!
They don't exist.
They know what's going to happen before it...
They took my husband's half sovereign, the thieves.
They're almost childlike.
They're taking the house.
They've got your grandfather's gold coin. Thieving little pickpockets!
This doesn't feel good!
This is Spiller.
This isn't funny!
This one can be.
This watch went missing long before you and your father moved here.
Through there.
Throw a handful. You might stand a chance of hitting something.
To find someone to get us out of here.
Today, ladies and gentlemen,
Too many beans.
Try and be careful. You know me.
Try not to let it upset you, OK?
Try not to worry, we'll sort something out.
Tuck your shirt in, James.
Tweezers.
Two, maybe three other candidates. So you've got a good chance, then?
TYRES SCREECH
TYRES SCREECH
Ugh! They're everywhere!
Until now! Ha!
Until you've actually experienced it, you've no idea.
Utterly unfathomable.
VACUUM CLEANER SWITCHES OFF
VACUUMING ABOVE
Wait, something's happening.
Wait! Arrietty! What?!
Wait! The truth frightens you, does it!?
Want a house left to come home to.
Watch out!
Watch out!
We are far from any beans.
We are not visiting anyone.
We borrow.
We call it Hackney.
We can't.
We could go visit them. You must know where they are.
We could learn so much from Homo sapiens redactus!
We demand food and water and to be released immediately!
We didn't have enough to get by. I thought you would get a job soon
We don't steal, we borrow.
We don't talk about her in case it upsets me.
We haven't got a choice! Spiller!
We haven't got much time.
We leave tomorrow.
We leave tomorrow.
We need to get you dry.
We should be safe here.
We should have been honest with her.
We think you should be allowed to go out and use it.
We want you in the rudest possible health before you're presented to the world.
We were only getting to know one another.
We? There's more of you?
We'll always be here.
We'll be caught if we go back for him now. Run.
We'll be fine. Mum!
We'll do it another time, yeah? Come on.
We'll emigrate.
We'll gas them first. We're not monsters, you know.
We'll move somewhere far from here.
We're alive, that's all that matters.
We're just the right size.
We're not going to make it!
We're not talking about me! Well, maybe we should be.
We've already had over a million hits on the site.
We've got to go! Run! No. This way, this way!
We've got to go. I love you so much.
Well, a dead specimen is as much a proof
Well, don't blame me,
Well, don't look at me. I like the purple ones.
Well, go on. Don't just sit there gawping. Go.
Well, Gran's upstairs now and I can't risk taking another.
Well, how do we get down?
Well, I hardly play with them any more.
Well, I'm very sorry to hear about your grandmother
Well, it could be any number of causes, really.
Well, it is.
Well, it serves you right for stealing my gun.
Well, keep it down.
Well, let me come with you next time, so I can see for myself.
Well, make sure you give her my very best wishes.
Well, no, but...
Well, now,
Well, platinum blonde, if you will.
Well, she has it better than most. It's not enough for her!
Well, she's getting on now. Her hands are a bit shaky.
Well, thank you all for your attention.
Well, that was the deal, right? I get the coin.
Well, that's a good thing, isn't it? It means he's too old.
Well, what a stupid waste of money!
Well, what about the banging? The cat?
Well, which is it?
Well, you are quite small.
Were there any others?
Were you hurt?
What a total chomp.
What about my aunt and uncle? My cousin Eggletina?
What are they going to do to us?
What are you doing with those?
What are you doing? I was going to ask you the same thing.
What are you doing?! We can't give up now!
What are you hiding in there?
What are you...? No, Gran, don't!
What do you mean?
What do you mean? What can be embarrassing about this? It's...
What for?
What happened?
What have?
What is it?
What is it?
What is it? Pod...
What is it? Why've you stopped pulling? He's about to be seen!
What is this place?
What little people? Are you for real?
What shall we do now?
What was all that about?
What was she called?
What will? There it is!
What would be the most irresistible bait, do you think?
What, so that's the only reason that you did what you did?
What?
What?
What?
What? It was one of them. It was right there.
What? Oh, Homily...
What? The boy, he knew your name!
What? It's... They're getting away!
What? That's impossible.
What?!
What?!
What're you doing with those?
What's all this?
What's going on? It was them!
What's out there?
What's that?
What's that?
What's the clock doing like that?
What's the problem? There's plenty of room for both of us.
What's this?
What's up with Henry?
What's up with it? Oh, nothing! It's perfect,
When you got your first pickings.
Where are you going, boy?
Where are you going?
Where are you going? Huh?
Where else are you hurt? I've got plenty more kisses.
Where have they gone?
Where will we live?
Where... Where are you going?!
Where's it gone?
Where's my key ring?
Which is nothing.
Which means sometimes you have to give them back.
Which way?
WHIRRING CONTINUES
Who are you calling a weasel?
Who are you calling little?
Who cares?
Who did this? Look, leave it, Gran, I'll get it out.
Who?
Who's that?
Whoa!
Whoa!
Why are you asking me?
Why are you staring at me like that?
Why not? Because I said so.
Why, what's happening?
Why?
Why? Because great Borrowers have an instinct.
Why? Everything you need, I provide. Not everything.
Wise man reduced.
WOAH!
Woo hoooo!
Wooh!
Worry not, Jennifer,
Wow, it's beautiful.
Yeah, and having the time of her life!
Yeah, but I think it might be better for Arrietty. I mean, down here,
Yeah, but it's...it's fun to be at the heart of it all again.
Yeah, but shouting at her isn't going to bring it back.
Yeah, I found the letter.
Yeah, I know, and how many more times are you going to let him down?
Yeah, well, after that he wasn't seen around the Underground again.
Yeah, you'd have been shredded to pieces.
Yeah, your dad's a bit of a nutter, isn't he?
Yeah! I totally rock on! In your face, Axeman 95!
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. All right, Gran.
Yeah. Don't get ahead of yourself, though, you've got a lot to learn.
Yeah. I just like to let your dad take most of the glory.
Yeah. She hates them, wants them all wiped out
Yeah. So do I.
Yeah. Sounded like it, too.
Years of ridicule,
Yes, please. Oh...!
Yes, Prof?
Yes, Prof. Just, there's quite a funk down here.
Yes, yes, I know, I know it looks like a doll's...
Yes?
Yes. In almost every culture around the globe,
Yet the secrets of a woman's heart
You are certain it was here?
You are such a pig!
You are such an idiot!
You aren't going to eat me?
You be careful.
You can do this.
You can say in front of her.
You can stick that right up your...
You can't let her see me. But...
You distract yourself with the little things,
You don't, do you?
You first. But I...
You go home and check your crawl spaces and skirting boards
You gotta keep going! I'm trying!
You have secured the specimens?
You haven't even opened it yet. How do you know?
You know that was your mother's favourite toy?
You know what you can do with your scientific discovery,
You know, despite, you being you.
You know, no matter how much you think you know about something,
You know, Spiller, you're a complete idiot!
You know, we might even find some other Borrowers.
You know, you weren't much older than her
You know.
You lied to me!
You look after your gran for me.
You may not think to look at him now, but your old man's a hero.
You might not need your beauty sleep, but I do.
You move fast! Not that I'm complaining.
You nervous?
You never told me your name.
You OK?
You promise me you'll keep her safe. I promise.
You really expect me to believe nothing happened?
You really thought those clumsy beans had any chance of catching me?
You said I could have that coin.
You said that there weren't any others!
You said we'd have to travel for months.
You should be pleased she wants to travel the world,
You should never have been upstairs.
You should never have spoken to him in the first place.
You sneaky child!
You two worry too much. LIFT DINGS
You want a hand?
You went upstairs once, and look what happened.
You with the hair! I'm talking to you!
You won't find anything down there. Ah, that's what you think.
You'd better hope that's not true.
You'd have to be an idiot to go upstairs when there's beans about.
You'd have to walk for miles. It'd take weeks, months even.
You'll be the scientific discovery of the age.
You're going to cut them up?! It's not as bad as it sounds.
You're going to put them on display?
You're going to witness something truly remarkable.
You're just as cocky as your dad was.
You're lucky I didn't knit you a sweater!
You're never happier than when you're telling me what to do.
You're not getting your hands on my husband's!
You're not to touch your mum's dolls' house! Ever!
You're our net man. Don't just stand there! Your net man?
You're scared of the truth! Well, I'm not surprised,
You're tearing the house to pieces!
You're telling me.
You're the one who can't stand up straight.
You're wasting your time.
You've been on a motorbike?
You've changed your tune.
You've got a fight on your hands just walking down the street.
You've got a gift.
You've got that look. What look?
You've got to keep her safe. The coin's still in my pack.
You've got to. I won't.
Young man, have you any idea of the scientific value of these creatures?
Your cleverness, your courage, your warmth.
Your dad doesn't want to be out all hours, you know.
Your dad had his reasons. Homily.
Your dad wasn't able to save everyone. There was a girl
Your gran's still getting used to having us here.
Your grandfather always said so.
Your grandfather's gold sovereign.
Your tie's wonky.

'Can we try it again?'

'Thank you, Dad, for the beautiful strawberry cream...' What's that for?
'Thanks for getting me back, Spiller!
'Thanks, you're amazing!'

# A merry little Christmas
# And have yourself

# And I'm running away There's smoke on my sweater
# And they're runnin' away They left me a letter
# Black turns beamy bright
# Christ is born in Bethlehem
# Drink a toast to the sun
# From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
# Glory to the newborn king! #
# Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
# Hark, the herald angels sing
# Have yourself a merry little Christmas
# Have yourself a merry little Christmas
# I had some brand new shoes
# I'm neither sorry nor coarse nor unfit
# If the fates allow
# It's just like you told me it'd be
# It's just like you told me it'd be
# It's just like you told me it'd be

# She's got one magic trick
# So so and no more
# Someone has set the date
# Sometimes without goodbye Sometimes without hello
# That is all I say... #
# That's all to be sorry for
# There's stars in my eyes and there's sun in my hair
# They were all red, but they gave me the blues
# Through the years We all will be together
# Tiptoe over the floor
# To the break of the day
# To the things that never come
# Today is gonna be the day
# Today is gonna be the day
# Turning on the light
# We are all made of air
# We need you wide awake
# We need you wide awake
# We're only half the way
# What are you waiting for?
# When it comes down to this
# With the angelic host proclaim
# You hear somebody say
