(Screen fades from the balcony to the outside of the mansion during morning. Then fading to Mia heading to the king in his courtroom.)
Narrator: Another one of them wise guys once said, that in a moment of truth, a great person doesn't have to think much about what they're going to say or do. They just speak and do what's right. Mia knew what she had to do was right, so, she figured she didn't have to be nervous.
(Mia looks back, debating whether to go for it or not.)
Narrator: Alright, so she was a little nervous. Give her a break.
(Off-screen, we hear a toilet flush, then Oliver walks up to the entrance.)
Oliver: Hi new mother.
(Oliver opens the door and enters. Then Mia enters after him, and as she enters slowly, we hear Mouse Fitzgerald speaking.)
Mouse Fitzgerald: (O.S.) So we're all set! I got the big boat reserved for Friday. Two more days, and we'll be rid of that dangerous family forever!
Boss Taitei: Good work, Mouse Fitzgerald! What would I do without you?
(Boss Taitei and Mouse Fitzgerald notice Mia, as she looks horrified.)
Mouse Fitzgerald: Hey, who invited the Mom? Did you invite the Mom?
Boss Taitei: Uh, no. I don't think I did.
(Mia gulps, awaiting to be banished.)
Boss Taitei: But that's okay!
(Both Mia and Oliver sigh in relief.)
Boss Taitei: C'mon over here, Mommy-Pooh!
(Mia walks up to the boss.)
Boss Taitei: I dunno if anybody told you, but popping up uninvited is generally discouraged around here.
Mouse Fitzgerald: By death or banishment.
(Boss Taitei angrily looks at Mouse Fitzgerald.)
Boss Taitei: But the Brisby children's new mother can visit me anytime she wants!
(Mia smiles nervously.)
Boss Taitei: So what is it you want? Just tell me. Whatever you want, it's yours!
(Mouse Fitzgerald stares at Mia, which scares her.)
Mia Mouse: Um, if it, uh...if it pleases the boss, there's something that I'd like to...
(Mouse Fitzgerald stares at Mia harder, which horrifies her.)
Mouse Fitzgerald: I'd like you and Mouse Fitzgerald to come to dinner tonight!
(Boss Taitei and Mouse Fitzgerald stare at each other for a second, then smile.)
Boss Taitei: Oh, isn't that nice! She's inviting us over for dinner!
Mouse Fitzgerald: Mhm!
Boss Taitei: You bet! We'd love to come! What time do you want us over?
Mia Mouse: Uh, say 8?
Boss Taitei: 8 it is!
Mia Mouse: Uh, see ya then.
(Mia walks off, upset at herself for bailing out.)
Mouse Fitzgerald: Oh, that's nice.
Boss Taitei: Yep, she's a keeper!
(Meanwhile at the playground we see Martin and Teresa talking to each other.)
Martin Brisby: I can't that our former Mother would cut me off like that I was only giving her a right point. Ugh! She's just like Auntie Shrew!
Teresa Brisby: I know how you feel, Martin. I can't believe she would be this so degenerate!
Cynthia Brisby: Auntie Shrew started it because she tied Jeremy first! Our former Mother is such a meanie!
Mia Mouse: I understand that Auntie Shrew tied up Jeremy first she was just being a bad influence on you.
Martin Brisby: What's a bad influence?
Mia Mouse: Well a bad influence is someone who tells a person to do wrong things. I don't think you should listen to people who are a bad influence on you.
(Martin nods his head.)
Martin Brisby: Okay, I understand.
Mia Mouse: Good. Now go play now.
(Martin starts playing with Teresa and Cynthia on playground while Mia is worrying.)
Mia Mouse: I need to tell the boss about Mouse Fitzgerald's evil deed but how?
(We then fade to the front of the mansion at night.)
Narrator: Now, don't get me wrong. Showing up uninvited before his highness is a very brave thing to do. But telling the boss that his right hand man is weasel is especially difficult. What if he doesn't believe her?
(We fade to inside Mia's place, and the camera flies to the right, where we see all sorts of Chinese food lined up on a table. It stops as we see Boss Taitei and Mouse Fitzgerald playing "Trivial Pursuit".)
Narrator: If the weasel stays, well, let's just say it wouldn't be so hot for our girl.
(Mia walks up to Boss Taitei and Mouse Fitzgerald with a platter full of soft drinks in cups with straws)
Narrator: No. Mia was looking for just the right moment to spring the news on him.
Mouse Fitzgerald: Okay, this is for the wedgie.
Boss Taitei: It's for the wedgie?
Mouse Fitzgerald: Mhm!
Boss Taitei: Ooh, make it an easy one!
Mouse Fitzgerald: Okay.
(Mouse Fitzgerald picks up a card.)
Mouse Fitzgerald: "Who was the youngest Jackson?"
Boss Taitei: Oh, I think I know that one! It's, uh...wasn't it, uh...Tito! Yeah, Tito!
Mouse Fitzgerald: Nope, not Tito.
Boss Taitei: Not Tito?
Mouse Fitzgerald: Nope.
Boss Taitei: I thought for sure it was Tito.
Mouse Fitzgerald: Nope, not Tito!
Boss Taitei: Not Tito?
(Mia puts down the platter.)
Mia Mouse: Um, your highness? The real reason I asked you over tonight was to...
(Boss Taitei listens, while sipping on his drink.)
Mia Mouse: Was to...
(Mouse Fitzgerald stares at Mia, which frightens her again.)
Mia Mouse: To see if you would both like to join me for dinner again tomorrow night!
(Boss Taitei and Mouse Fitzgerald stare at each other for a second.)
Boss Taitei: Well sure! Yeah, that sounds great!
Mouse Fitzgerald: (over-top of Boss Taitei dialogue) Oh, yeah! I'd love to come!
(Mia picks up the empty platter, angry at herself for bailing out again.)
Boss Taitei: (O.S.) Are ya sure it wasn't Tito?
Mouse Fitzgerald: (O.S.) Nope, not Tito!
