Jenner Quotes:

  • Jenner: I learned this much: take what you can, when you can.

    Justin: Then you have learned nothing.

  • Jenner: Hear me! The Thorn Valley Plan is the aspiration of idiots and dreamers! We...

    [sees Justin]

    Jenner: We were just talking about you.

    Justin: That's refreshing, Jenner, usually you're screaming about us.

  • Jenner: With Nicodemus out of the way, what's to stop us from taking over?

    Sullivan: Jenner, you can't kill Nicodemus.

    Jenner: No taste for blood, eh? They've taken the animal out of you.

  • Mrs. Brisby: You're in great danger. NIMH is coming!

    Jenner: [quickly] Come come, let's return to the rosebush...

    Mrs. Brisby: NIMH is coming!

    Rat 1: NIMH!

    Mrs. Brisby: In the morning!

    Rat 2: NIMH!

    Mrs. Brisby: Yes. You will all die unless you leave the farm tonight.

    Jenner: Lies!

    Mrs. Brisby: Please! You must believe me!

    Rat 1: What if it's true?

    Rat 2: We'll all be killed!

    Rat 3: Don't panic!

    Jenner: Don't listen! She's hysterical!

    Mrs. Brisby: Get out now... Auughhh!

    [With a vicious backhand, Jenner sends Mrs. Brisby flying. He shucks his cape and draws his sword]

    Jenner: You get out! I've had enough!

  • Justin: It was you. You did it. You killed Nicodemus. That was no accident.

    Jenner: Yes. I killed him.

  • Jenner: Friends, we cannot move the Brisby home.

    Mr. Ages: We-we can't just leave it here, in the mud.

    Jenner: The equipment is a shambles. One day we will journey to Thorn Valley, just as Nicodemus wanted, but not now. Come, let us return to the rosebush, where we belong.

  • Jenner: Listen. The Brisby house is a large cement block. In the moving, what if it should fall?

    Sullivan: An accident?

    Jenner: Of course! Cut the lines, and the weight of it will crush his bones!

    Sullivan: It's risky.

    Jenner: Once rid of Nicodemus, the plan will die. We can stay her as long as we like.

    Sullivan: What about Justin?

    Jenner: Leave him to me.

  • Jenner: Nicodemus is cooperating beautifully.

    Sullivan: Jenner...

    Jenner: Standing in just the right spot.

    Sullivan: Jenner, I... I can't...

    Jenner: When the block reaches the middle, you cut the line.

    Sullivan: I...

    Jenner: [Holding a sword to Sullivan's throat] Don't get any ideas, my friend. You're in this up to your neck.

  • Jenner: The plan is nothing but folly, a doddering old fool's fantasy! Nicodemus would have us destroy this colony only to lead us to starvation in some wilderness!

    Justin: He! Good old Jenner.
