Stuart Little 2

Stuart Little 2

Stuart Little 2 is that rarest of movie breeds, a sequel that surpasses its charming, popular predecessor to achieve near-classic status. Mr. & Mrs. Little (Hugh Laurie, Geena Davis) are portrayed with good-natured, storybook purity, and the rest of the movie follows suit, beginning when their lonely mouse "son" Stuart (perfectly voiced by Michael J. Fox) befriends an orphaned canary (Melanie Griffith), who is reluctantly stealing from the Littles for the villainous Falcon (James Woods). The con game turns into a search-and-rescue thriller, with family cat Snowbell (Nathan Lane) quipping like a borscht-belt comedian, but the real fun of Stuart Little 2 comes from Bruce Joel Rubin's hilarious, marvelously inventive screenplay and returning director Rob Minkoff's visually dazzling combination of live action and lavish computer animation. Matching the Babe movies as a wondrous marvel of family entertainment, Stuart Little 2 is an all-ages romp that's smart, sweet, and completely irresistible. --Jeff Shannon

Stuart:
Meanwhile, you can use my cat's bed.

Margalo:
You have a cat?!

Stuart:
Oh, don't worry about Snowbell. He wouldn't hurt a fly.

[Outside, Snowbell catches a fly and eats it]

Snowbell:
[burps] Whoa, those flies really come back on you. [goes back into the house] Uhh. I try to eat right, and yet, I still feel bloated. Hm. Maybe more food'll help. [eats from his food bowl]

Margalo:
Hi, there.

Snowbell:
[alarmed] AAH!

Margalo:
Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you.

Snowbell:
Scare me? That's a laugh! [laughs] Hear that? That was a laugh. [hisses at Margalo, and starts coughing] Hairball: Major hairball! Ugh! And yet, we continue to lick ourselves. Unbelievable.

Stuart:
Hey, Snowbell. Meet Margalo. She'll be staying with us for a while.

Snowbell:
Staying?! Are you out of your mind?! Stuart, you can't just drag stray birds in here! What do you think this is, a halfway house? Look at her, she's filthy! No offense. She could have germs. And how do you know she's not a vagrant or a thief? Get rid of her!

Mrs. Little:
[from offscreen] Hi, we're home! Sorry we're late.

Stuart:
Little high, little low!

Mrs. Little:
Little hey, little ho!

Margalo:
What the heck was that?

Stuart Little:
Oh, that's just how we greet each other.

Margalo:
Interesting.

Snowbell:
Nauseating is more like it. You're in for it now, missy! Mother Little hates when animals walk in here off the street. When she sees this, she's gonna throw a fit!

[Mrs. Little walks in, crouches down, and gently picks up Margalo]

Mrs. Little:
[softly] Oh! Such a pretty little birdie!

Snowbell:
[walking out of the room] Maybe it's just my friends she hates.

Snowbell:
Ohh, Stuart, we've been walking for hours. I can't take another step. You know me, I hate to be negative, but when I walk this much, I chafe! Also, I...I hate to bring this up, but... I need to go tinky!

Stuart:
How 'bout the alley?

Snowbell:
I'm a house cat. We're fastidious creatures! We don't just yell "BOMBS AWAY!", and go wherever we are! Oh, look, let's face it, we're never gonna find her!

Stuart:
If only we knew someone who really knew the city.

Snowbell:
Yeah, somebody who knows the city's disgusting underbelly. Who do I know that's disgusting?

[Scene cuts to Monty being thrown out of a Chinese restaurant and into a dumpster]

Chinese Restaurant Owner:
[to Monty, in Chinese] N? zàilái zhèl?, w? huì t?ngguò Visa j?qì lái gu?nl? n? de! [Translation: If you come back here again, I'll run you through the Visa machine!] [he brushes his hands and tell his workers in Chinese to get back to work and closes the door]

Monty:
Don't you threaten me! What I could tell the health inspector would close you down in a New York minute!

Snowbell:
[offscreen] Hey, Monty!

Monty:
[sees Snowbell] Snowbell! He-hey! He-hey! Snowbell! What are you doing here?

Snowbell:
We've been looking all over for you.

Stuart:
We need your help.

Monty:
Hey, Snow, buddy, are you two still friends, or can I eat him?

Snowbell:
No, Monty, you can't eat him.

Monty:
[pleading] Please?

Snowbell:
[strictly] NO! Now pay attention. What do you know about a bird called Falcon?

Monty:
"Falcon"? Ohh, that's a bad guy, you don't wanna fool with him.

Stuart:
Do you know where we can find him?

Monty:
You don't wanna find him. You don't want to have anything to do with him. Trust me! He'd eat you so fast, you'd be a pile of falcon-poop before you could yell for help! Falcons are vicious! They grab you by the back of the neck and carry you so high you can't even see the ground, and then they drop ya, and by the time you hit the pavement, they just drink what's left through a straw!

Stuart:
Snowbell, are you all right?

Snowbell:
[looking terrified] Oh, yeah. In fact, good news: I no longer need a litterbox.

Monty:
[guffaws loudly] Mop-up on Aisle 3! [laughs] Snowie!

Snowbell:
Stu, listen. This whole thing has been a groove and a gas, but it's important to know when the fun's over. You don't want to be that last, pathetic person who leaves a party.

Stuart:
I told you, I'm not givin' up! We're gonna find the Falcon.

Monty:
Well, all right, then, it's your funeral. Okay, listen. Listen carefully. The Falcon lives across the park at the very tip-top of the Pishkin Building. Not many people go up there... and even fewer return.

[Stuart reaches Falcon's lair at the top of the Pishkin Building]

Stuart:
Margalo? Margalo? You up here? Is anybody here?

Falcon:
I'm here.

Stuart:
[aims his bow and arrow at Falcon]I came for my friend Margalo. If you've hurt her, I'll...

Falcon:
You'll what?

Stuart:
You better tell me right now. Is she alright?

Falcon:
Why don't you ask her yourself, Whiskers? Margalo?

[Margalo appears behind Stuart]

Stuart:
Margalo. Margalo, run! Fly away while I've got him covered. What are you waiting for?!

[Margalo just gives a sad look]

Falcon:
Oh, this kid's priceless. Tell me, Cheese-face, does any of this sound familiar? "Oh, my wing. I don't think I can fly."

Stuart:
What are you talking about?

Falcon:
I can't drill through the wood. She scammed you, okay? She played you like a harp.

Stuart:
[heartbroken] Margalo, what does he mean?

Falcon:
Okay, now it's getting sad. Maybe this will clear things up. [holds Mrs. Little's ring in his talons]

Stuart:
[shocked] My mom's ring.

Margalo:
I'm so sorry. I never wanted to hurt you.

Stuart:
But, Margalo, why?

Falcon:
Don't be upset, mouse boy. She has conned smarter than you. Or did you think you were special? A real friend?

Margalo:
I didn't lie about that, Stuart. You are my friend.

Stuart:
Then come with me.

Falcon:
[grabs Stuart with his talons] She's not going anywhere.

Stuart:
Oh, yes, she is. [fires his arrow at Falcon's beak with no effect, Falcon glares at him]

Falcon:
Was that your best shot? Now, let me show you mine. [carries Stuart out of his lair]

Margalo:
Don't hurt him, Falcon!

Falcon:
I won't hurt him. THE SIDEWALK WILL!

Stuart:
Can't we talk this over? [Falcon drops him, sending him falling towards the streets below while screaming]

Margalo:
[racing after him] No, Stuart! [tries to save Stuart, but Falcon snatches her up and takes her back inside the building] Let me go! No, Falcon! NO!!

[Meanwhile, Stuart lands unharmed, albeit unconscious, in a passing garbage truck]
