and...
Now you can be upset.
Are you okay? Can you hear me?
Hurry! I'm slipping.
- Get more string.
- Great.
There must be string here.
- There is no more.
- What else can we use?
- Spaghetti?
- We're out of spaghetti.
- Well, do we have macaroni?
- That's too short.
- We can tie it together with...
- No.
Hurry!
Hang on, Stuart!
- Margalo, what are you doing?
- Stuart, I'm coming! Grab on!
Lower! Lower!
I got it!
- Are you all right?
- Are you hurt?
Don't scare me like that.
Margalo, you're the best friend I ever had.
What if someone had accidentally
turned on the garbage disposal?
I would not have let that happen.
- You let him go down the drain.
- He wanted to go.
If Martha wanted to go up the chimney...
...or George wanted to go into the toilet,
would you let them?
I love Stuart as much as you do.
I just don't happen to be quite as....
Emotional? Irrational?
What were you going to say?
I forget.
I know I'm overprotective, it's just...
...I can't stand the idea of Stuart getting hurt.
I'm sorry, Stuart.
What?
You people sure like your meat loaf.
You find the ring?
Everything but.
Has anyone seen Margalo?
I can't find her anywhere.
Maybe she just went for a walk
or a little flight around the neighborhood.
Sure, you know, to strengthen her wing.
Yeah, maybe. But why'd she leave me her pin?
Oh, you know, Stuart...
...Margalo is kind of a free spirit.
Maybe she just felt it was time to go.
Without even saying goodbye?
What are you doing?
I think I know what happened.
I think that falcon got her.
- Yeah?
- I'm going to find her.
And don't try to talk me out of it.
I've made up my mind.
Are you crazy? You can't go out there.
Because I'm too small? Let me tell you
something, George, you're as big as you feel.
All right, then let me come with you.
No, I need you to stay and cover for me.
Cover for you? How?
Make something up. You're smart.
Stuart, she's just a bird.
No, George, she's my friend.
And when you're friends with Stuart Little,
you're friends for life.
Well, if you won't let me come,
at least get somebody to go with you.
Snow! Snowbell!
The good silverware's in the dining room.
Take whatever you want, but don't hurt me.
It's me. Stuart.
You. This better be important.
Margalo's still missing.
I should've been more specific.
I meant important to me.
I'm going to look for her. I
hoped you'd come with me.
Look, Stuart, do yourself a favor.
Buy a parakeet and forget her.
I can't forget her. She's in terrible
trouble and I have to help her.
I mean what am I, a man or a...
...mouse?
Is that a trick question?
Come on, it's important. You got to help me.
And why would I do that?
Well, because we're family...
...and because I'd do the same for you.
And if you don't, and the Littles ask where I'm
gone, George'll tell them you ate me.
What?
Why you little rat!
You know something?
Everybody thinks you're so nice.
You're not so nice.
Come on! It'll be fun. It's an adventure.
Hey! Mario Andretti, slow down.
Let's pace ourselves.
I'm gonna have a heart attack.
I think I'm having a thrombosis
and I don't even know what it means.
George! Stuart! Breakfast!
Get it while it's hot.
Say, "Mama."
Say, "Dada."
Say anything?
'Morning, George.
Where's Stuart?
He already left.
He did? Without eating breakfast?
He had to get to school early...
... because he's in a school play.
Really?
Yes. He plays a mouse. And they
rehearse every morning before school.
Why didn't he tell us?
He forgot. You know, being
worried about Margalo.
Right.
Good. This'll keep his mind off it.
Got to go.
Say, "Oatmeal."
Oh, boy. This is a sign, Stuart.
Like the burning bush.
Except it's a carburetor and I'm not Moses.
But it's telling us something.
Let your people go!
- We're not giving up.
- Oh, why not?
Giving up is fun. And look at
all the time you save.
I'm telling you, if more people gave up,
there'd be fewer wars.
Bill.
George.
Hi,
