Mrs. Brisby : Auntie Shrew, what's going on?
Auntie Shrew : Indeed.
Mrs. Brisby : Please, come back inside.
Auntie Shrew : Not for a king's ransom. I just have one thing to say,
[pointing at Martin]
Auntie Shrew : that child is a brat.
Mrs. Brisby : Yes, I will speak to him.
Auntie Shrew : I came here to inform you that the frost is off the ground and moving day is at hand. Prepare to move your very, very odd family. Good day.
[as she walks out]
Auntie Shrew : You never know what might be lurking about out there, what with rats in the field.
-
Auntie Shrew : Cast not pearls before swine, I always say. And that includes impudent piglets.
-
Martin : I'm not afraid of the dark.
Auntie Shrew : Martin.
Martin : I'm not afraid of the farmer.
Auntie Shrew : I can't hear.
Martin : I'm not afraid of Dragon. I'm not even afraid of... of the Great Owl.
Auntie Shrew : Will you hush up?
Martin : You hush up.
Teresa : Martin.
Auntie Shrew : Precocious monster.
Martin : Bossy bullfrog.
Auntie Shrew : Spoiled brat.
Martin : Loudmouth.
Auntie Shrew : Well! That will be quite enough. Thank you.

Auntie Shrew : The Great Owl would know what to do about this. You must go see him.
Mrs. Brisby : I couldn't do that. Owls eat mice.
Auntie Shrew : Well, my child, show a little courage. We're fighting for Timmy's life.

Auntie Shrew : You think the world owes you a living, right?
Jeremy : Right.
Auntie Shrew : Wrong!
Jeremy : Wrong!

[Mrs. Brisby listens to the farmer start the tractor]
Auntie Shrew : What did I tell you? Moving day.
Mrs. Brisby : It can't be.
Auntie Shrew : It certainly can. I don't supposed you've packed.
Mrs. Brisby : What about Timmy? The chill in the air could kill him.
Auntie Shrew : Well, child, that tractor surely will. For the last time, get your children out of here before it's too late.
-
Auntie Shrew : Run! The plow is here! Run for your lives! Run! It's moving day!
-
Auntie Shrew : Why me? That I alone should be responsible for the welfare of the entire field is monstrous.
-
Jeremy : Well, let me explain... What a lovely hat you're wearing.
Auntie Shrew : Don't you sweet talk me.
-
Jeremy : You can't leave me here like... There's a... There's a... He's very big
[stammers]
Auntie Shrew : Good. Good riddance. Teresa, Martin! That's the least you deserve.
Teresa : Auntie.
Auntie Shrew : There you are! Keep an eye on this hooligan. Make sure he doesn't get away until I can get help. And as for you, you black buzzard, I wouldn't try anything. I shall return.

Auntie Shrew : I shall return.
