"Come in the house." "You´ll catch cold out there." "A cube of sugar?" "So why was it?" "He left it by the grating." "It´s probably the same one I dropped last night." "What?" "What do you mean, you dropped it?" "Don´t touch it." "Do you understand?" "It´s a trap." "They´re trying to catch us!" "We´ll just have to stop borrowing for a while." "Maybe they already know where we are." "Pod, we´ll have to move!" "This was such a lovely house." "Now we´ll have to start all over again." "Well, let´s see how things go."

"You should ar... you should take some of your medicine now." "Thanks, Haru ." "I really feel fine, thanks." "The nesting season, eh?" "Help yourself and have a lovely long rest now." "Papa..."

"I realize Sho's mother has delicated a lot on her work." "But to go abroad on business and leave a sick child behind?" "Never easy for an young boy to be without his mother." "you shouldn´t worried about it." "I suppose the divorce couldn´t be helped." "But why can´t she be here, when her only child needs her so?" "Aunt Sadako, who made that little wooden house in my room?" "It looks amazing." "You mean the doll house?" "Its belonged to your mother when she is small child." "She left there years ago when she moved out." "It was mom?" "My father had it made specially ordered." "It offered the place for the little people live in." " Little?" " Father always said he once saw the the little people in our home." "He waited for years hoping for seening them again." "He always said" "That household was the present for them." "I am afraid they never show up in that house again, Not in my father´s lifetime, the gift of it not in mine." "Master sho, I don't supposed you saw any little people in your room?" "ummm..." "Unfortunately... not." "The doll house has been passed out from my father, i am sure your mother will be" "Very happy for you to have it now." "Did she mean that ?" "Yes." "Have you looked inside?" "It´s really look quite beautiful!" " Haru, would you be kindness to turn off the lights?" " Yes ´madam." "This is the living room." "All the furnishings were hand made by a real furniture maker." "Beautiful, don't you think?" "Here´s the library on the first floor." "There´s even an study room." "Wait to see my next room that is my personal favorite." "Haru, would you be so kind open ?" "Right, certainly, I think it opens this way." "Its wonderful!" "It is perfectly detailed and just like the real thing." "Even the oven is real, You could use it for baking." "Arrr..." "It's Beautiful." "It's a pity Father´s dream never came true." "And it´s been so long..." "Maybe the little people are gone now." "Mother, we´ve had seen these pictures for years." "Can we changed them?" "I truly love those pictures." "I´ve dreamed one day I could get to see the real ocean." "Anyway, there´s no point changing them now." "Papa´s later than usual." "I hope he didn´t get cold in that downpour." " Papa?" " Sounds like ... is that´s the back door?" "Papa!" "Are you okay?" "I twisted my leg." "Lucky me, Spiller mate helped me." "Pod?" "Oh no, you´re hurt!" "Hurry." "Bring him in." "Does it hurt?" "It´s not broken." "I´ll be fine in no time." "Come in, I´ll get you some cold water." "Here´s a towel, dry yourself ... huh?"

"Thank you Spiller." "Papa´s so lucky you came along." "We´re so delicated your help." "Spiller, have you seen other Borrowers?" "You see, we thought we might be the only ones left in the world." "I think these many." "Arr.. then Cover Rubin must be alright?" "Is that the bow you have?" "Can I have a look?" "And you use it this for borrowing?" "Give that back." "Arriety It´s not a toy." "Gotta go." "But, but we just about to eat something, would like to join us?" "Do you need this?" "A cricket´s leg!" "Want some?" "It´s real good." "No thank you!" "Take care." "I thank you again." "I´ll see him out." "Did you go to looking for a new home now." "After I tripped and fell in wood, I couldn't moved." "Until Spiller came and helped me." "You were lucky..." "Spiller lived at the land on the other side of the river really well." "He's told me he knows a few places we could look for an new home." "That´s good I suppose." "I am not looking forward sleeping rough." "I wonder, if we´ll find anything quite as nice as this one." "That's more like us, its make me feel better." "Oh spiller, do you lived home with your family?" "Family?" "No, just me." "Aright, please visit us again." " My mother made really amazing soup." " Okay!" "Haru?" "Arrietty, your stitches need to be needer together." "Pull it apart, you have to start over." "What these big bag for?" "Why would we needed?" "I think I am going to see how on Papa." "Papa, can I come in?" "How´s your leg?" "I´ll be walking very soon." "Papa?" "Are we going to move away?" "Human being have seen us, We've no choice but to move." "I don´t think every human bean is dangerous." "Arrietty..." "Long before you were born, there were two other families living in this house." "One of them went missing." "They just disappeared." "The other one moved away ." "They were seen by human beings." "No matter what happens, this family must survive." "Papa..." "What's happening?" "earthquake!" "Motherl" "It won´t open." "The frame´s buckled." "No ... the wall!" "Homily !" "Homily !" "I always dreamed of having an kitchen like this." "Gather only the things we need." "We won't be able to carry all that." "And Homily, take nothing from the doll house." "I´ll go ahead to make sure it´s safe." " Stay with your mother." " Yes Papa." "You finally came up." "So what do you think of the new kitchen?" "Our house is a real big mess." "But it doesn´t matter." "I came to say goodbye." "Can I look?" "You´re beautiful." "We are going to move away from here." "We've been seen by human beings." "Borrowers aren´t meant to be seen." "Borrowers...?" "We borrowed things from human beings." "We take things we need." "Things that they will missed." "Soap and cookies and sugar." "Electricity and gas, too." "Even my great-grandfather was a Borrower." "Noboy seen them, never!" "Probably." "I think, it´s all my fault." "Niya, don´t be like that." "Be nice to her." "Arrietty, are there other little people like you living in the house?" "No, it´s just my father and mother and me." "What about the other else where ?" "I´m sure there are some." "I´ve only met one so far." "Oh." "So one thiing, you´ll maybe the only one left." "Every year they get less and less, right?" "That would mean you're a doomed species." "That´s not true!" "There´s lots more of us." "Spiller said so!" "Spiller?" "He´s one of us." "And he said there are many more of us out there." "Do you know how many people there are living in the world?" "There are 6.7 billion." "Six point seven billion...?" "And how many of you?" "I don´t know." "There are probably just a few of you it left." "Before my mother told me, I didn't know borrowers even existed." "There're so many of species thats have already died out." "I´ve only read them about in my school books though." "So many beautiful creatures ..." "But they already died out because of the environment changes." "It´s sad, but maybe that´s what fate has been in store for your borrowers." "Fate, you say?" "You´re the one who changed things." "And we are the one who have to move away." "Father said we must to survive by all means." "So we´re leaving away, even though it´s dangerous." "We´ll make do, we always have." "You don't know anything about us!" "But we will survived this!" "And we'll not just simply die out!" "I´m sorry." "You´re right of course." "In fact, I'm the one who's going to die out." "It´s my heart." "They´re going to operate next week, but it´s hopeless." "Your heart...?" "I've been sick since when I was a little child." "I can´t play like other kids." "When I saw you, I wanted to protect you like a friend did." "I can´t even do that." "I hope you can forgive me." "I didn´t know you were so sick." "What are these things doing in here?" "That kitchen is from the doll house!" "I found you!" "What´s wrong?" "My mother..." "I heard her voice." "This really is a great kitchen ." "And you´re not the only little one here, I bet." "I have to go." "Let me out!" "Help me!" "The ceiling is not mapped." " Hello?" "Squeaky Klean Service?" " Yes it is." "Can you make an urgent house service call ?" "We have something small in the house." "But not mice." "Not mice?" "I don´t want them killed." "You need trapping services?" "Yes, I want you to trap them." "Sho!" "Sho!" "Arrietty!" "Mother´s gone!" "Someone took the roof off." "I think a human being got her!" "Mother ..." "I will help you to find her." "Someone locked the door." "Let´s try the room next door." "The weight bite." "Wait!" "Here's way in." "Amazing!" "No, that´s not it." "Further down, you will see a dirt road. you turn in there." " Before the bridge?" " No, not that one!" "Haru opened this." "Then she must´ve taken away Mother someplace." "Are you okay?" "What´s taking them so long?" "Mother!" "Where are you?" "But I have locked ..." "Lock?" "Could I have some hot milk please?" "Yes of course, ok just a minute." "Thanks so much." "I'm so hungry, do you have any cookies?" "Mother!" "Mother!" " Mother?" " Arrietty!" "Here I am, Arrietty!" "Mother!" "Arrietty!" "Oh what sound." "They finally found the right road." "Another human bean!" "Mother, It´s okay." "We´d like to take a look around the house first if its alright for you?" "Take your time." "Now who can do this be?" "Haru?" "Haru!" "What are they doing on here?" "I met little people are here!" "Little people?" "That´s right." "The little people who steal ours!" "It´s really true." "They steal things from all over the house." "That´s why much things were going missing." "Haru, what´s gotten into you?" "All these years I thought it was my imagination." "Well, it wasn´t." "You certainly didn't need to call the pest control." "We´d better hurry." "The house is full of them!" "You´ll believe me when you see this." "This is their nest." "Nest?" "It looks like a pile of old junk to me." "What?" "I swear I saw it." "Haru, I´m sending the Pest Control away." "Now, just wait a minute." "The doll house!" "Young Master?" "May we come in?" "Of course." "I can't believe it." "They even stolen the little kitchen." "You´ll see, it´s gone." "It´s not gone." "This kitchen always looks so nice." "Please, please, wait madam, I caught one of them in a jar." "I wonder what's going wrong with Haru." "Hmm?" "What wonderful fresh herbs." "Someone was making a tea!" "It´s just as my father said." "There are little people living here." "Yes, there are." "So Haru really did seen them." "Though she accused them of stealing." "They´re not stealing at all!" "They´re Borrowers." "I mean, I wish I could see them." "I am sure they were here somewhere." "I think so too." "Hello." "Excuse me, ma´am!" "Is anywhere you´d like us to start?" "Ah...are you allright?" "It got out." "I had it right here!" "It´s not just my imagination." "There are little people here!" "Next time I swear I´ll get them!" "How far is it to where we'll meeting Spiller?" "It´s just the end of this forest, and then we will head down river." "I´m so exhausted." "I'm really think I'll never make it that far." "Let´s hurry ." "I can´t do it..." "Have eat something now, we would like to walking until sunrise." "What?" "I´m so sorry." "We have to leave our such a lovely house, because its all my stupid selfish mess." "That´s in the past." "We´ll make another lovely home, and the three of us together." "I´m going outside for a bit." "Don´t go too far, now ." "Its Niya!" "Niya..." "Just a little further." "Spiller!" "That´s everything." "Now let´s get moving." "Okay." "Mother, are you all right?" "Arrietty!" "Sho!" "Arrietty..." "We´re leaving now." "I´m glad I have got it in time." "Niya had showed me the way." "Thank you." "Take care of yourself." "I brought you this." "I would be happy if you could accept it this time." "Oh thank you." "I must going now." "When is your operation?" "In two days." "I'll be okay." "Its you to gave me the courage to live." "It will bring you luck." "Thanks." "Thank you for everything for protecting me." "Arrietty..." "You take care of yourself." "Goodbye." "Arrietty, you´re in my heart now with full influence."
