In 'The Secret World of Arrietty,' a tiny 14-year-old girl (Arrietty) lives with her mom, Homily (Poehler) and dad, Pod (Will Arnett) inside a suburban home. Arrietty and her parents stay hidden, for the most part, only coming out when they know the home's inhabitants aren't around (usually at night), to borrow the things they need to survive. Arrietty's parents have told her that humans are extremely dangerous, and if they find out about them, they'll have to leave as soon as possible (for their own protection). When 12-year-old Shawn (David Henrie), sees Arrietty, he's understandably fascinated. He means her no harm, but his discovery -- and his budding friendship with Arrietty -- puts the girl's family at great risk.

Not Seen
BUY @ amazon
Arrietty: "We've been seen, and borrowers aren't supposed to be seen!"
Borrowers, like Arrietty (Bridgit Mendler) and her family, only sneak into humans' homes at night to avoid being seen. When Shawn sees Arrietty, it presents a serious problem. -

Little People Under the Floors
BUY @ amazon
Shawn: "My mother used to tell me stories about the little people who lived under the floors. Is that you?"
Shawn realizes that all the stories he's heard growing up about the tiny people living in the floorboards are actually true. He also thinks that at one point, his own grandfather saw the borrowers, too. - 3
Are We Safe?
BUY @ amazon
Pod: "The boy knows that we're here."
Homily: "What?! Are we safe?"
Arrietty's parents are (understandably) freaked out when they learn that Shawn knows who they are - but Shawn doesn't mean them any harm. They should be much more afraid of Hara, as they'll soon learn... -

Human Curiosity
BUY @ amazon
Pod: "Once a borrower has been seen, the humans' curiosity can't be stopped."
Pod has a point. If you saw miniature people running around your house in the middle of the night, wouldn't you investigate until you figured everything out? Exactly. - 5
Protect You
BUY @ amazon
Shawn: "When I saw you, I just wanted to find a way to protect you."
Having a human friend is something that is completely foreign to the borrowers, though Arrietty seems much more trusting of the "beans" than her mother and father. Shawn absolutely doesn't want to hurt them - he just wants to know more about their world, and introduce Arrietty to more of his world.
