Exterminator Jeff : [look at the objects by the floorboards] Borrowers!
Ocious P. Potter : You've seen this before?
Exterminator Jeff : No, but I've heard the stories, but that's what I thought they were, just stories: the fly with the human head, the poker-playing rats, the giant radioactive cockroaches.
Ocious P. Potter : Spare me the folklore, will you? Can you kill them or not?
Exterminator Jeff : Yes. Extermination is my middle name. But why do you want me to exterminate the Borrowers?
Ocious P. Potter : Because those little rats stole something very important from me. AND NOBODY STEALS FROM OCIOUS P. POTTER!
Exterminator Jeff : You mean borrowed, don't you?
Ocious P. Potter : What?
Exterminator Jeff : Oh, well, they're Borrowers. They don't steal, they...

Exterminator Jeff : [goes serious] Right!

Ocious P. Potter : [impatiently] WOULD YOU PLEASE GET UP HERE AND DO SOMETHING TO HELP ME!
