Auntie Shrew Quotes in The Secret of NIMH (1982)

Auntie Shrew: Cast not pearls before swine, I always say, and that includes insolent piglets!

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.

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.

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: Oh, hush up!

Martin: Ah, you hush up!

Auntie Shrew: Precocious monster!

Martin: Bossy bullfrog!

Auntie Shrew: Spoiled brat!

Martin: Loudmouth!

Auntie Shrew: You think the world owes you a living, right?

Jeremy: Right!

Auntie Shrew: Wrong!

Jeremy: Wrong! Oh!

Auntie Shrew: Why me, that I alone should be responsible for the welfare of the entire field? It's monstrous!

[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!

Jeremy: You can't leave me here like this. There's a ca-cat... there's a ca-ca... he's very big, and he might... and he might... Ungh!

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!

Jeremy: Well, uh, let me explain! Oh, what a lovely hat you're wearing!

Auntie Shrew: Don't you sweet-talk me!
