scratched tonight.
Okay. Very good.
Mr. and Mrs. Little,
you'll have to come downtown.
Detective Sherman, what are our
chances of seeing Stuart again?
You want it straight?
- No.
- Absolutely not.
Well, in that case...
...Stuart's probably home right now
waiting for you.
Maybe we should hear it
a Little straighter than that.
In a case Like this...
...if the kidnappers
have not called by now...
...then they're not
interested in money.
- What are they interested in?
- Kicks.
Exactly.
It's my guess these two sickos...
...are on some kind of cross-country
mouse-killing spree.
Well, thank you.
You can kiss this boy goodbye.
Thank you.
It's over. The things I've seen.
Phil, where is that book
on the grisly photos?
Believe me,
you don't want to see this.
It'll only take a second.
Right off the bat. Look at this one.
This one kept me awake for weeks.
What did they want?
Where's the boy?
Oh, no.
Stuart, wake up.
- Get dressed.
- Why?
- We're taking you for a ride.
- Where are we going?
Some friends of ours have gathered
to meet you.
A gathering? What should I wear?
It doesn't matter. Wear anything.
- Is it formal?
- Just put something on!
Why is Mom crying?
Mom? I'm not angry at you
for putting me up for adoption.
And now that I'm a Stout again, I'll
always be here to take care of you.
Because that's what families do.
Mom, they take care of each other.
Tell him the truth!
You made a deal with a cat?
He had us cornered
at the bottom of the cup.
It was curtains.
So you agreed to pose as my parents?
You lied and cheated?
You took me away from the Littles
just when we were all so happy?
Yes!
That's wonderful.
I think you missed something.
That's why I've been feeling sad.
That's why I keep thinking of them!
I'm not a Stout, I'm a Little!
I'm Stuart Little!
I'm Stuart Little!
Stuart, please.
You have to listen to us.
The cats have decided you're
too risky to keep around.
They ordered us
to hand you over to them.
As your fake father,
I order you to run.
- I'll go home.
- Home?
That's miles from here. And every cat
in the city is Looking for you.
Besides, you could get lost.
No, I can't.
Every Little in the world can find
the Little house.
Bye, fake father!
Goodbye, fake mother!
Goodbye, fake son.
Goodbye, Stuart.
I'm gonna miss that boy.
I'm gonna miss that car.
- Well, I think we have to...
- Tell him.
- Who has the glue?
- I'm the glue man.
What's going on?
- We're making posters.
- We'll put them up all over the city.
They describe Stuart
and offer a reward.
Isn't it wonderful?
It was all George's idea.
Never stop trying. Right, Dad?
Listen, I'm afraid
this isn't gonna work.
Why not?
Frederick.
Because there's no picture.
We need a picture of Stuart.
The family photo.
Smokey. Hey, Smokey.
Keep it down.
It's me, Lucky.
I just heard from the Brooklyn cats.
Bad news. The Stouts squealed.
I knew those mice were rats.
The kid's on his way home.
What do we do?
No problem. He's got to go
through the park, right?
Let's meet him and have ourselves
a Little picnic.
Great. I'll bring herring.
Moron! The mouse is the picnic.
Every Little in the world
can find the Little house.
I'm a Little. I'm a Little.
I'm a Little Lost.
How you doing?
You must be Stuart.
Actually, I must be going.
What's your hurry, Murray?
Yeah, where are you going, Murray...
Stuart? What's his name?
Come back here, you Little rat!
- He's getting away!
- Lucky, Red, get him!
- He's going backwards!
- He's a hell of a driver!
- Go, go, go, go!
- We got him!
I got him, Smokey. Yeah, I got him.
The only thing that you guys got
are big mouths.
So shut up and run!
- Geronimo!
- Banzai!
We got him now!
- I got him! I got him!
- Get him, Red!
I hope he runs out of gas!
I hope you do.
- Why don't you run in the back?
- I can't help it.
I have a nervous stomach.
And I have an empty stomach!
Now, get that mouse!
Did you see that?
