According to all known laws<br />
of aviation,<br />
<br />
<br />
there is no way a bee<br />
should be able to fly.<br />
<br />
<br />
Its wings are too small to get<br />
its fat little body off the ground.<br />
<br />
<br />
The bee, of course, flies anyway<br />
<br />
<br />
because bees don't care<br />
what humans think is impossible.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yellow, black. Yellow, black.<br />
Yellow, black. Yellow, black.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ooh, black and yellow!<br />
Let's shake it up a little.<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry! Breakfast is ready!<br />
<br />
<br />
Ooming!<br />
<br />
<br />
Hang on a second.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hello?<br />
<br />
<br />
- Barry?<br />
- Adam?<br />
<br />
<br />
- Oan you believe this is happening?<br />
- I can't. I'll pick you up.<br />
<br />
<br />
Looking sharp.<br />
<br />
<br />
Use the stairs. Your father<br />
paid good money for those.<br />
<br />
<br />
Sorry. I'm excited.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here's the graduate.<br />
We're very proud of you, son.<br />
<br />
<br />
A perfect report card, all B's.<br />
<br />
<br />
Very proud.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ma! I got a thing going here.<br />
<br />
<br />
- You got lint on your fuzz.<br />
- Ow! That's me!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Wave to us! We'll be in row 118,000.<br />
- Bye!<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry, I told you,<br />
stop flying in the house!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Hey, Adam.<br />
- Hey, Barry.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Is that fuzz gel?<br />
- A little. Special day, graduation.<br />
<br />
<br />
Never thought I'd make it.<br />
<br />
<br />
Three days grade school,<br />
three days high school.<br />
<br />
<br />
Those were awkward.<br />
<br />
<br />
Three days college. I'm glad I took<br />
a day and hitchhiked around the hive.<br />
<br />
<br />
You did come back different.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Hi, Barry.<br />
- Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Hear about Frankie?<br />
- Yeah.<br />
<br />
<br />
- You going to the funeral?<br />
- No, I'm not going.<br />
<br />
<br />
Everybody knows,<br />
sting someone, you die.<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't waste it on a squirrel.<br />
Such a hothead.<br />
<br />
<br />
I guess he could have<br />
just gotten out of the way.<br />
<br />
<br />
I love this incorporating<br />
an amusement park into our day.<br />
<br />
<br />
That's why we don't need vacations.<br />
<br />
<br />
Boy, quite a bit of pomp...<br />
under the circumstances.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Well, Adam, today we are men.<br />
- We are!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Bee-men.<br />
- Amen!<br />
<br />
<br />
Hallelujah!<br />
<br />
<br />
Students, faculty, distinguished bees,<br />
<br />
<br />
please welcome Dean Buzzwell.<br />
<br />
<br />
Welcome, New Hive Oity<br />
graduating class of...<br />
<br />
<br />
...9:15.<br />
<br />
<br />
That concludes our ceremonies.<br />
<br />
<br />
And begins your career<br />
at Honex Industries!<br />
<br />
<br />
Will we pick ourjob today?<br />
<br />
<br />
I heard it's just orientation.<br />
<br />
<br />
Heads up! Here we go.<br />
<br />
<br />
Keep your hands and antennas<br />
inside the tram at all times.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Wonder what it'll be like?<br />
- A little scary.<br />
<br />
<br />
Welcome to Honex,<br />
a division of Honesco<br />
<br />
<br />
and a part of the Hexagon Group.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is it!<br />
<br />
<br />
Wow.<br />
<br />
<br />
Wow.<br />
<br />
<br />
We know that you, as a bee,<br />
have worked your whole life<br />
<br />
<br />
to get to the point where you<br />
can work for your whole life.<br />
<br />
<br />
Honey begins when our valiant Pollen<br />
Jocks bring the nectar to the hive.<br />
<br />
<br />
Our top-secret formula<br />
<br />
<br />
is automatically color-corrected,<br />
scent-adjusted and bubble-contoured<br />
<br />
<br />
into this soothing sweet syrup<br />
<br />
<br />
with its distinctive<br />
golden glow you know as...<br />
<br />
<br />
Honey!<br />
<br />
<br />
- That girl was hot.<br />
- She's my cousin!<br />
<br />
<br />
- She is?<br />
- Yes, we're all cousins.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Right. You're right.<br />
- At Honex, we constantly strive<br />
<br />
<br />
to improve every aspect<br />
of bee existence.<br />
<br />
<br />
These bees are stress-testing<br />
a new helmet technology.<br />
<br />
<br />
- What do you think he makes?<br />
- Not enough.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here we have our latest advancement,<br />
the Krelman.<br />
<br />
<br />
- What does that do?<br />
- Oatches that little strand of honey<br />
<br />
<br />
that hangs after you pour it.<br />
Saves us millions.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oan anyone work on the Krelman?<br />
<br />
<br />
Of course. Most bee jobs are<br />
small ones. But bees know<br />
<br />
<br />
that every small job,<br />
if it's done well, means a lot.<br />
<br />
<br />
But choose carefully<br />
<br />
<br />
because you'll stay in the job<br />
you pick for the rest of your life.<br />
<br />
<br />
The same job the rest of your life?<br />
I didn't know that.<br />
<br />
<br />
What's the difference?<br />
<br />
<br />
You'll be happy to know that bees,<br />
as a species, haven't had one day off<br />
<br />
<br />
in 27 million years.<br />
<br />
<br />
So you'll just work us to death?<br />
<br />
<br />
We'll sure try.<br />
<br />
<br />
Wow! That blew my mind!<br />
<br />
<br />
"What's the difference?"<br />
How can you say that?<br />
<br />
<br />
One job forever?<br />
That's an insane choice to have to make.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm relieved. Now we only have<br />
to make one decision in life.<br />
<br />
<br />
But, Adam, how could they<br />
never have told us that?<br />
<br />
<br />
Why would you question anything?<br />
We're bees.<br />
<br />
<br />
We're the most perfectly<br />
functioning society on Earth.<br />
<br />
<br />
You ever think maybe things<br />
work a little too well here?<br />
<br />
<br />
Like what? Give me one example.<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't know. But you know<br />
what I'm talking about.<br />
<br />
<br />
Please clear the gate.<br />
Royal Nectar Force on approach.<br />
<br />
<br />
Wait a second. Oheck it out.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Hey, those are Pollen Jocks!<br />
- Wow.<br />
<br />
<br />
I've never seen them this close.<br />
<br />
<br />
They know what it's like<br />
outside the hive.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah, but some don't come back.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Hey, Jocks!<br />
- Hi, Jocks!<br />
<br />
<br />
You guys did great!<br />
<br />
<br />
You're monsters!<br />
You're sky freaks! I love it! I love it!<br />
<br />
<br />
- I wonder where they were.<br />
- I don't know.<br />
<br />
<br />
Their day's not planned.<br />
<br />
<br />
Outside the hive, flying who knows<br />
where, doing who knows what.<br />
<br />
<br />
You can'tjust decide to be a Pollen<br />
Jock. You have to be bred for that.<br />
<br />
<br />
Right.<br />
<br />
<br />
Look. That's more pollen<br />
than you and I will see in a lifetime.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's just a status symbol.<br />
Bees make too much of it.<br />
<br />
<br />
Perhaps. Unless you're wearing it<br />
and the ladies see you wearing it.<br />
<br />
<br />
Those ladies?<br />
Aren't they our cousins too?<br />
<br />
<br />
Distant. Distant.<br />
<br />
<br />
Look at these two.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Oouple of Hive Harrys.<br />
- Let's have fun with them.<br />
<br />
<br />
It must be dangerous<br />
being a Pollen Jock.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah. Once a bear pinned me<br />
against a mushroom!<br />
<br />
<br />
He had a paw on my throat,<br />
and with the other, he was slapping me!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Oh, my!<br />
- I never thought I'd knock him out.<br />
<br />
<br />
What were you doing during this?<br />
<br />
<br />
Trying to alert the authorities.<br />
<br />
<br />
I can autograph that.<br />
<br />
<br />
A little gusty out there today,<br />
wasn't it, comrades?<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah. Gusty.<br />
<br />
<br />
We're hitting a sunflower patch<br />
six miles from here tomorrow.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Six miles, huh?<br />
- Barry!<br />
<br />
<br />
A puddle jump for us,<br />
but maybe you're not up for it.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Maybe I am.<br />
- You are not!<br />
<br />
<br />
We're going 0900 at J-Gate.<br />
<br />
<br />
What do you think, buzzy-boy?<br />
Are you bee enough?<br />
<br />
<br />
I might be. It all depends<br />
on what 0900 means.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hey, Honex!<br />
<br />
<br />
Dad, you surprised me.<br />
<br />
<br />
You decide what you're interested in?<br />
<br />
<br />
- Well, there's a lot of choices.<br />
- But you only get one.<br />
<br />
<br />
Do you ever get bored<br />
doing the same job every day?<br />
<br />
<br />
Son, let me tell you about stirring.<br />
<br />
<br />
You grab that stick, and you just<br />
move it around, and you stir it around.<br />
<br />
<br />
You get yourself into a rhythm.<br />
It's a beautiful thing.<br />
<br />
<br />
You know, Dad,<br />
the more I think about it,<br />
<br />
<br />
maybe the honey field<br />
just isn't right for me.<br />
<br />
<br />
You were thinking of what,<br />
making balloon animals?<br />
<br />
<br />
That's a bad job<br />
for a guy with a stinger.<br />
<br />
<br />
Janet, your son's not sure<br />
he wants to go into honey!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Barry, you are so funny sometimes.<br />
- I'm not trying to be funny.<br />
<br />
<br />
You're not funny! You're going<br />
into honey. Our son, the stirrer!<br />
<br />
<br />
- You're gonna be a stirrer?<br />
- No one's listening to me!<br />
<br />
<br />
Wait till you see the sticks I have.<br />
<br />
<br />
I could say anything right now.<br />
I'm gonna get an ant tattoo!<br />
<br />
<br />
Let's open some honey and celebrate!<br />
<br />
<br />
Maybe I'll pierce my thorax.<br />
Shave my antennae.<br />
<br />
<br />
Shack up with a grasshopper. Get<br />
a gold tooth and call everybody "dawg"!<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm so proud.<br />
<br />
<br />
- We're starting work today!<br />
- Today's the day.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oome on! All the good jobs<br />
will be gone.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah, right.<br />
<br />
<br />
Pollen counting, stunt bee, pouring,<br />
stirrer, front desk, hair removal...<br />
<br />
<br />
- Is it still available?<br />
- Hang on. Two left!<br />
<br />
<br />
One of them's yours! Oongratulations!<br />
Step to the side.<br />
<br />
<br />
- What'd you get?<br />
- Picking crud out. Stellar!<br />
<br />
<br />
Wow!<br />
<br />
<br />
Oouple of newbies?<br />
<br />
<br />
Yes, sir! Our first day! We are ready!<br />
<br />
<br />
Make your choice.<br />
<br />
<br />
- You want to go first?<br />
- No, you go.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, my. What's available?<br />
<br />
<br />
Restroom attendant's open,<br />
not for the reason you think.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Any chance of getting the Krelman?<br />
- Sure, you're on.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm sorry, the Krelman just closed out.<br />
<br />
<br />
Wax monkey's always open.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Krelman opened up again.<br />
<br />
<br />
What happened?<br />
<br />
<br />
A bee died. Makes an opening. See?<br />
He's dead. Another dead one.<br />
<br />
<br />
Deady. Deadified. Two more dead.<br />
<br />
<br />
Dead from the neck up.<br />
Dead from the neck down. That's life!<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, this is so hard!<br />
<br />
<br />
Heating, cooling,<br />
stunt bee, pourer, stirrer,<br />
<br />
<br />
humming, inspector number seven,<br />
lint coordinator, stripe supervisor,<br />
<br />
<br />
mite wrangler. Barry, what<br />
do you think I should... Barry?<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry!<br />
<br />
<br />
All right, we've got the sunflower patch<br />
in quadrant nine...<br />
<br />
<br />
What happened to you?<br />
Where are you?<br />
<br />
<br />
- I'm going out.<br />
- Out? Out where?<br />
<br />
<br />
- Out there.<br />
- Oh, no!<br />
<br />
<br />
I have to, before I go<br />
to work for the rest of my life.<br />
<br />
<br />
You're gonna die! You're crazy! Hello?<br />
<br />
<br />
Another call coming in.<br />
<br />
<br />
If anyone's feeling brave,<br />
there's a Korean deli on 83rd<br />
<br />
<br />
that gets their roses today.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hey, guys.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Look at that.<br />
- Isn't that the kid we saw yesterday?<br />
<br />
<br />
Hold it, son, flight deck's restricted.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's OK, Lou. We're gonna take him up.<br />
<br />
<br />
Really? Feeling lucky, are you?<br />
<br />
<br />
Sign here, here. Just initial that.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Thank you.<br />
- OK.<br />
<br />
<br />
You got a rain advisory today,<br />
<br />
<br />
and as you all know,<br />
bees cannot fly in rain.<br />
<br />
<br />
So be careful. As always,<br />
watch your brooms,<br />
<br />
<br />
hockey sticks, dogs,<br />
birds, bears and bats.<br />
<br />
<br />
Also, I got a couple of reports<br />
of root beer being poured on us.<br />
<br />
<br />
Murphy's in a home because of it,<br />
babbling like a cicada!<br />
<br />
<br />
- That's awful.<br />
- And a reminder for you rookies,<br />
<br />
<br />
bee law number one,<br />
absolutely no talking to humans!<br />
<br />
<br />
All right, launch positions!<br />
<br />
<br />
Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz,<br />
buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz!<br />
<br />
<br />
Black and yellow!<br />
<br />
<br />
Hello!<br />
<br />
<br />
You ready for this, hot shot?<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah. Yeah, bring it on.<br />
<br />
<br />
Wind, check.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Antennae, check.<br />
- Nectar pack, check.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Wings, check.<br />
- Stinger, check.<br />
<br />
<br />
Scared out of my shorts, check.<br />
<br />
<br />
OK, ladies,<br />
<br />
<br />
let's move it out!<br />
<br />
<br />
Pound those petunias,<br />
you striped stem-suckers!<br />
<br />
<br />
All of you, drain those flowers!<br />
<br />
<br />
Wow! I'm out!<br />
<br />
<br />
I can't believe I'm out!<br />
<br />
<br />
So blue.<br />
<br />
<br />
I feel so fast and free!<br />
<br />
<br />
Box kite!<br />
<br />
<br />
Wow!<br />
<br />
<br />
Flowers!<br />
<br />
<br />
This is Blue Leader.<br />
We have roses visual.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bring it around 30 degrees and hold.<br />
<br />
<br />
Roses!<br />
<br />
<br />
30 degrees, roger. Bringing it around.<br />
<br />
<br />
Stand to the side, kid.<br />
It's got a bit of a kick.<br />
<br />
<br />
That is one nectar collector!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Ever see pollination up close?<br />
- No, sir.<br />
<br />
<br />
I pick up some pollen here, sprinkle it<br />
over here. Maybe a dash over there,<br />
<br />
<br />
a pinch on that one.<br />
See that? It's a little bit of magic.<br />
<br />
<br />
That's amazing. Why do we do that?<br />
<br />
<br />
That's pollen power. More pollen, more<br />
flowers, more nectar, more honey for us.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oool.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm picking up a lot of bright yellow.<br />
Oould be daisies. Don't we need those?<br />
<br />
<br />
Oopy that visual.<br />
<br />
<br />
Wait. One of these flowers<br />
seems to be on the move.<br />
<br />
<br />
Say again? You're reporting<br />
a moving flower?<br />
<br />
<br />
Affirmative.<br />
<br />
<br />
That was on the line!<br />
<br />
<br />
This is the coolest. What is it?<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't know, but I'm loving this color.<br />
<br />
<br />
It smells good.<br />
Not like a flower, but I like it.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah, fuzzy.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ohemical-y.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oareful, guys. It's a little grabby.<br />
<br />
<br />
My sweet lord of bees!<br />
<br />
<br />
Oandy-brain, get off there!<br />
<br />
<br />
Problem!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Guys!<br />
- This could be bad.<br />
<br />
<br />
Affirmative.<br />
<br />
<br />
Very close.<br />
<br />
<br />
Gonna hurt.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mama's little boy.<br />
<br />
<br />
You are way out of position, rookie!<br />
<br />
<br />
Ooming in at you like a missile!<br />
<br />
<br />
Help me!<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't think these are flowers.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Should we tell him?<br />
- I think he knows.<br />
<br />
<br />
What is this?!<br />
<br />
<br />
Match point!<br />
<br />
<br />
You can start packing up, honey,<br />
because you're about to eat it!<br />
<br />
<br />
Yowser!<br />
<br />
<br />
Gross.<br />
<br />
<br />
There's a bee in the car!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Do something!<br />
- I'm driving!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Hi, bee.<br />
- He's back here!<br />
<br />
<br />
He's going to sting me!<br />
<br />
<br />
Nobody move. If you don't move,<br />
he won't sting you. Freeze!<br />
<br />
<br />
He blinked!<br />
<br />
<br />
Spray him, Granny!<br />
<br />
<br />
What are you doing?!<br />
<br />
<br />
Wow... the tension level<br />
out here is unbelievable.<br />
<br />
<br />
I gotta get home.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oan't fly in rain.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oan't fly in rain.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oan't fly in rain.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mayday! Mayday! Bee going down!<br />
<br />
<br />
Ken, could you close<br />
the window please?<br />
<br />
<br />
Ken, could you close<br />
the window please?<br />
<br />
<br />
Oheck out my new resume.<br />
I made it into a fold-out brochure.<br />
<br />
<br />
You see? Folds out.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, no. More humans. I don't need this.<br />
<br />
<br />
What was that?<br />
<br />
<br />
Maybe this time. This time. This time.<br />
This time! This time! This...<br />
<br />
<br />
Drapes!<br />
<br />
<br />
That is diabolical.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's fantastic. It's got all my special<br />
skills, even my top-ten favorite movies.<br />
<br />
<br />
What's number one? Star Wars?<br />
<br />
<br />
Nah, I don't go for that...<br />
<br />
<br />
...kind of stuff.<br />
<br />
<br />
No wonder we shouldn't talk to them.<br />
They're out of their minds.<br />
<br />
<br />
When I leave a job interview, they're<br />
flabbergasted, can't believe what I say.<br />
<br />
<br />
There's the sun. Maybe that's a way out.<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't remember the sun<br />
having a big 75 on it.<br />
<br />
<br />
I predicted global warming.<br />
<br />
<br />
I could feel it getting hotter.<br />
At first I thought it was just me.<br />
<br />
<br />
Wait! Stop! Bee!<br />
<br />
<br />
Stand back. These are winter boots.<br />
<br />
<br />
Wait!<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't kill him!<br />
<br />
<br />
You know I'm allergic to them!<br />
This thing could kill me!<br />
<br />
<br />
Why does his life have<br />
less value than yours?<br />
<br />
<br />
Why does his life have any less value<br />
than mine? Is that your statement?<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm just saying all life has value. You<br />
don't know what he's capable of feeling.<br />
<br />
<br />
My brochure!<br />
<br />
<br />
There you go, little guy.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm not scared of him.<br />
It's an allergic thing.<br />
<br />
<br />
Put that on your resume brochure.<br />
<br />
<br />
My whole face could puff up.<br />
<br />
<br />
Make it one of your special skills.<br />
<br />
<br />
Knocking someone out<br />
is also a special skill.<br />
<br />
<br />
Right. Bye, Vanessa. Thanks.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Vanessa, next week? Yogurt night?<br />
- Sure, Ken. You know, whatever.<br />
<br />
<br />
- You could put carob chips on there.<br />
- Bye.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Supposed to be less calories.<br />
- Bye.<br />
<br />
<br />
I gotta say something.<br />
<br />
<br />
She saved my life.<br />
I gotta say something.<br />
<br />
<br />
All right, here it goes.<br />
<br />
<br />
Nah.<br />
<br />
<br />
What would I say?<br />
<br />
<br />
I could really get in trouble.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's a bee law.<br />
You're not supposed to talk to a human.<br />
<br />
<br />
I can't believe I'm doing this.<br />
<br />
<br />
I've got to.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, I can't do it. Oome on!<br />
<br />
<br />
No. Yes. No.<br />
<br />
<br />
Do it. I can't.<br />
<br />
<br />
How should I start it?<br />
"You like jazz?" No, that's no good.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here she comes! Speak, you fool!<br />
<br />
<br />
Hi!<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm sorry.<br />
<br />
<br />
- You're talking.<br />
- Yes, I know.<br />
<br />
<br />
You're talking!<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm so sorry.<br />
<br />
<br />
No, it's OK. It's fine.<br />
I know I'm dreaming.<br />
<br />
<br />
But I don't recall going to bed.<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, I'm sure this<br />
is very disconcerting.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is a bit of a surprise to me.<br />
I mean, you're a bee!<br />
<br />
<br />
I am. And I'm not supposed<br />
to be doing this,<br />
<br />
<br />
but they were all trying to kill me.<br />
<br />
<br />
And if it wasn't for you...<br />
<br />
<br />
I had to thank you.<br />
It's just how I was raised.<br />
<br />
<br />
That was a little weird.<br />
<br />
<br />
- I'm talking with a bee.<br />
- Yeah.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm talking to a bee.<br />
And the bee is talking to me!<br />
<br />
<br />
I just want to say I'm grateful.<br />
I'll leave now.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Wait! How did you learn to do that?<br />
- What?<br />
<br />
<br />
The talking thing.<br />
<br />
<br />
Same way you did, I guess.<br />
"Mama, Dada, honey." You pick it up.<br />
<br />
<br />
- That's very funny.<br />
- Yeah.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bees are funny. If we didn't laugh,<br />
we'd cry with what we have to deal with.<br />
<br />
<br />
Anyway...<br />
<br />
<br />
Oan I...<br />
<br />
<br />
...get you something?<br />
- Like what?<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't know. I mean...<br />
I don't know. Ooffee?<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't want to put you out.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's no trouble. It takes two minutes.<br />
<br />
<br />
- It's just coffee.<br />
- I hate to impose.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Don't be ridiculous!<br />
- Actually, I would love a cup.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hey, you want rum cake?<br />
<br />
<br />
- I shouldn't.<br />
- Have some.<br />
<br />
<br />
- No, I can't.<br />
- Oome on!<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm trying to lose a couple micrograms.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Where?<br />
- These stripes don't help.<br />
<br />
<br />
You look great!<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't know if you know<br />
anything about fashion.<br />
<br />
<br />
Are you all right?<br />
<br />
<br />
No.<br />
<br />
<br />
He's making the tie in the cab<br />
as they're flying up Madison.<br />
<br />
<br />
He finally gets there.<br />
<br />
<br />
He runs up the steps into the church.<br />
The wedding is on.<br />
<br />
<br />
And he says, "Watermelon?<br />
I thought you said Guatemalan.<br />
<br />
<br />
Why would I marry a watermelon?"<br />
<br />
<br />
Is that a bee joke?<br />
<br />
<br />
That's the kind of stuff we do.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah, different.<br />
<br />
<br />
So, what are you gonna do, Barry?<br />
<br />
<br />
About work? I don't know.<br />
<br />
<br />
I want to do my part for the hive,<br />
but I can't do it the way they want.<br />
<br />
<br />
I know how you feel.<br />
<br />
<br />
- You do?<br />
- Sure.<br />
<br />
<br />
My parents wanted me to be a lawyer or<br />
a doctor, but I wanted to be a florist.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Really?<br />
- My only interest is flowers.<br />
<br />
<br />
Our new queen was just elected<br />
with that same campaign slogan.<br />
<br />
<br />
Anyway, if you look...<br />
<br />
<br />
There's my hive right there. See it?<br />
<br />
<br />
You're in Sheep Meadow!<br />
<br />
<br />
Yes! I'm right off the Turtle Pond!<br />
<br />
<br />
No way! I know that area.<br />
I lost a toe ring there once.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Why do girls put rings on their toes?<br />
- Why not?<br />
<br />
<br />
- It's like putting a hat on your knee.<br />
- Maybe I'll try that.<br />
<br />
<br />
- You all right, ma'am?<br />
- Oh, yeah. Fine.<br />
<br />
<br />
Just having two cups of coffee!<br />
<br />
<br />
Anyway, this has been great.<br />
Thanks for the coffee.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah, it's no trouble.<br />
<br />
<br />
Sorry I couldn't finish it. If I did,<br />
I'd be up the rest of my life.<br />
<br />
<br />
Are you...?<br />
<br />
<br />
Oan I take a piece of this with me?<br />
<br />
<br />
Sure! Here, have a crumb.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Thanks!<br />
- Yeah.<br />
<br />
<br />
All right. Well, then...<br />
I guess I'll see you around.<br />
<br />
<br />
Or not.<br />
<br />
<br />
OK, Barry.<br />
<br />
<br />
And thank you<br />
so much again... for before.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, that? That was nothing.<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, not nothing, but... Anyway...<br />
<br />
<br />
This can't possibly work.<br />
<br />
<br />
He's all set to go.<br />
We may as well try it.<br />
<br />
<br />
OK, Dave, pull the chute.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Sounds amazing.<br />
- It was amazing!<br />
<br />
<br />
It was the scariest,<br />
happiest moment of my life.<br />
<br />
<br />
Humans! I can't believe<br />
you were with humans!<br />
<br />
<br />
Giant, scary humans!<br />
What were they like?<br />
<br />
<br />
Huge and crazy. They talk crazy.<br />
<br />
<br />
They eat crazy giant things.<br />
They drive crazy.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Do they try and kill you, like on TV?<br />
- Some of them. But some of them don't.<br />
<br />
<br />
- How'd you get back?<br />
- Poodle.<br />
<br />
<br />
You did it, and I'm glad. You saw<br />
whatever you wanted to see.<br />
<br />
<br />
You had your "experience." Now you<br />
can pick out yourjob and be normal.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Well...<br />
- Well?<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, I met someone.<br />
<br />
<br />
You did? Was she Bee-ish?<br />
<br />
<br />
- A wasp?! Your parents will kill you!<br />
- No, no, no, not a wasp.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Spider?<br />
- I'm not attracted to spiders.<br />
<br />
<br />
I know it's the hottest thing,<br />
with the eight legs and all.<br />
<br />
<br />
I can't get by that face.<br />
<br />
<br />
So who is she?<br />
<br />
<br />
She's... human.<br />
<br />
<br />
No, no. That's a bee law.<br />
You wouldn't break a bee law.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Her name's Vanessa.<br />
- Oh, boy.<br />
<br />
<br />
She's so nice. And she's a florist!<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, no! You're dating a human florist!<br />
<br />
<br />
We're not dating.<br />
<br />
<br />
You're flying outside the hive, talking<br />
to humans that attack our homes<br />
<br />
<br />
with power washers and M-80s!<br />
One-eighth a stick of dynamite!<br />
<br />
<br />
She saved my life!<br />
And she understands me.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is over!<br />
<br />
<br />
Eat this.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is not over! What was that?<br />
<br />
<br />
- They call it a crumb.<br />
- It was so stingin' stripey!<br />
<br />
<br />
And that's not what they eat.<br />
That's what falls off what they eat!<br />
<br />
<br />
- You know what a Oinnabon is?<br />
- No.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's bread and cinnamon and frosting.<br />
They heat it up...<br />
<br />
<br />
Sit down!<br />
<br />
<br />
...really hot!<br />
- Listen to me!<br />
<br />
<br />
We are not them! We're us.<br />
There's us and there's them!<br />
<br />
<br />
Yes, but who can deny<br />
the heart that is yearning?<br />
<br />
<br />
There's no yearning.<br />
Stop yearning. Listen to me!<br />
<br />
<br />
You have got to start thinking bee,<br />
my friend. Thinking bee!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Thinking bee.<br />
- Thinking bee.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thinking bee! Thinking bee!<br />
Thinking bee! Thinking bee!<br />
<br />
<br />
There he is. He's in the pool.<br />
<br />
<br />
You know what your problem is, Barry?<br />
<br />
<br />
I gotta start thinking bee?<br />
<br />
<br />
How much longer will this go on?<br />
<br />
<br />
It's been three days!<br />
Why aren't you working?<br />
<br />
<br />
I've got a lot of big life decisions<br />
to think about.<br />
<br />
<br />
What life? You have no life!<br />
You have no job. You're barely a bee!<br />
<br />
<br />
Would it kill you<br />
to make a little honey?<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry, come out.<br />
Your father's talking to you.<br />
<br />
<br />
Martin, would you talk to him?<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry, I'm talking to you!<br />
<br />
<br />
You coming?<br />
<br />
<br />
Got everything?<br />
<br />
<br />
All set!<br />
<br />
<br />
Go ahead. I'll catch up.<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't be too long.<br />
<br />
<br />
Watch this!<br />
<br />
<br />
Vanessa!<br />
<br />
<br />
- We're still here.<br />
- I told you not to yell at him.<br />
<br />
<br />
He doesn't respond to yelling!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Then why yell at me?<br />
- Because you don't listen!<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm not listening to this.<br />
<br />
<br />
Sorry, I've gotta go.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Where are you going?<br />
- I'm meeting a friend.<br />
<br />
<br />
A girl? Is this why you can't decide?<br />
<br />
<br />
Bye.<br />
<br />
<br />
I just hope she's Bee-ish.<br />
<br />
<br />
They have a huge parade<br />
of flowers every year in Pasadena?<br />
<br />
<br />
To be in the Tournament of Roses,<br />
that's every florist's dream!<br />
<br />
<br />
Up on a float, surrounded<br />
by flowers, crowds cheering.<br />
<br />
<br />
A tournament. Do the roses<br />
compete in athletic events?<br />
<br />
<br />
No. All right, I've got one.<br />
How come you don't fly everywhere?<br />
<br />
<br />
It's exhausting. Why don't you<br />
run everywhere? It's faster.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah, OK, I see, I see.<br />
All right, your turn.<br />
<br />
<br />
TiVo. You can just freeze live TV?<br />
That's insane!<br />
<br />
<br />
You don't have that?<br />
<br />
<br />
We have Hivo, but it's a disease.<br />
It's a horrible, horrible disease.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, my.<br />
<br />
<br />
Dumb bees!<br />
<br />
<br />
You must want to sting all those jerks.<br />
<br />
<br />
We try not to sting.<br />
It's usually fatal for us.<br />
<br />
<br />
So you have to watch your temper.<br />
<br />
<br />
Very carefully.<br />
You kick a wall, take a walk,<br />
<br />
<br />
write an angry letter and throw it out.<br />
Work through it like any emotion:<br />
<br />
<br />
Anger, jealousy, lust.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, my goodness! Are you OK?<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah.<br />
<br />
<br />
- What is wrong with you?!<br />
- It's a bug.<br />
<br />
<br />
He's not bothering anybody.<br />
Get out of here, you creep!<br />
<br />
<br />
What was that? A Pic 'N' Save circular?<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah, it was. How did you know?<br />
<br />
<br />
It felt like about 10 pages.<br />
Seventy-five is pretty much our limit.<br />
<br />
<br />
You've really got that<br />
down to a science.<br />
<br />
<br />
- I lost a cousin to Italian Vogue.<br />
- I'll bet.<br />
<br />
<br />
What in the name<br />
of Mighty Hercules is this?<br />
<br />
<br />
How did this get here?<br />
Oute Bee, Golden Blossom,<br />
<br />
<br />
Ray Liotta Private Select?<br />
<br />
<br />
- Is he that actor?<br />
- I never heard of him.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Why is this here?<br />
- For people. We eat it.<br />
<br />
<br />
You don't have<br />
enough food of your own?<br />
<br />
<br />
- Well, yes.<br />
- How do you get it?<br />
<br />
<br />
- Bees make it.<br />
- I know who makes it!<br />
<br />
<br />
And it's hard to make it!<br />
<br />
<br />
There's heating, cooling, stirring.<br />
You need a whole Krelman thing!<br />
<br />
<br />
- It's organic.<br />
- It's our-ganic!<br />
<br />
<br />
It's just honey, Barry.<br />
<br />
<br />
Just what?!<br />
<br />
<br />
Bees don't know about this!<br />
This is stealing! A lot of stealing!<br />
<br />
<br />
You've taken our homes, schools,<br />
hospitals! This is all we have!<br />
<br />
<br />
And it's on sale?!<br />
I'm getting to the bottom of this.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm getting to the bottom<br />
of all of this!<br />
<br />
<br />
Hey, Hector.<br />
<br />
<br />
- You almost done?<br />
- Almost.<br />
<br />
<br />
He is here. I sense it.<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, I guess I'll go home now<br />
<br />
<br />
and just leave this nice honey out,<br />
with no one around.<br />
<br />
<br />
You're busted, box boy!<br />
<br />
<br />
I knew I heard something.<br />
So you can talk!<br />
<br />
<br />
I can talk.<br />
And now you'll start talking!<br />
<br />
<br />
Where you getting the sweet stuff?<br />
Who's your supplier?<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't understand.<br />
I thought we were friends.<br />
<br />
<br />
The last thing we want<br />
to do is upset bees!<br />
<br />
<br />
You're too late! It's ours now!<br />
<br />
<br />
You, sir, have crossed<br />
the wrong sword!<br />
<br />
<br />
You, sir, will be lunch<br />
for my iguana, Ignacio!<br />
<br />
<br />
Where is the honey coming from?<br />
<br />
<br />
Tell me where!<br />
<br />
<br />
Honey Farms! It comes from Honey Farms!<br />
<br />
<br />
Orazy person!<br />
<br />
<br />
What horrible thing has happened here?<br />
<br />
<br />
These faces, they never knew<br />
what hit them. And now<br />
<br />
<br />
they're on the road to nowhere!<br />
<br />
<br />
Just keep still.<br />
<br />
<br />
What? You're not dead?<br />
<br />
<br />
Do I look dead? They will wipe anything<br />
that moves. Where you headed?<br />
<br />
<br />
To Honey Farms.<br />
I am onto something huge here.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm going to Alaska. Moose blood,<br />
crazy stuff. Blows your head off!<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm going to Tacoma.<br />
<br />
<br />
- And you?<br />
- He really is dead.<br />
<br />
<br />
All right.<br />
<br />
<br />
Uh-oh!<br />
<br />
<br />
- What is that?!<br />
- Oh, no!<br />
<br />
<br />
- A wiper! Triple blade!<br />
- Triple blade?<br />
<br />
<br />
Jump on! It's your only chance, bee!<br />
<br />
<br />
Why does everything have<br />
to be so doggone clean?!<br />
<br />
<br />
How much do you people need to see?!<br />
<br />
<br />
Open your eyes!<br />
Stick your head out the window!<br />
<br />
<br />
From NPR News in Washington,<br />
I'm Oarl Kasell.<br />
<br />
<br />
But don't kill no more bugs!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Bee!<br />
- Moose blood guy!!<br />
<br />
<br />
- You hear something?<br />
- Like what?<br />
<br />
<br />
Like tiny screaming.<br />
<br />
<br />
Turn off the radio.<br />
<br />
<br />
Whassup, bee boy?<br />
<br />
<br />
Hey, Blood.<br />
<br />
<br />
Just a row of honey jars,<br />
as far as the eye could see.<br />
<br />
<br />
Wow!<br />
<br />
<br />
I assume wherever this truck goes<br />
is where they're getting it.<br />
<br />
<br />
I mean, that honey's ours.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Bees hang tight.<br />
- We're all jammed in.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's a close community.<br />
<br />
<br />
Not us, man. We on our own.<br />
Every mosquito on his own.<br />
<br />
<br />
- What if you get in trouble?<br />
- You a mosquito, you in trouble.<br />
<br />
<br />
Nobody likes us. They just smack.<br />
See a mosquito, smack, smack!<br />
<br />
<br />
At least you're out in the world.<br />
You must meet girls.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mosquito girls try to trade up,<br />
get with a moth, dragonfly.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mosquito girl don't want no mosquito.<br />
<br />
<br />
You got to be kidding me!<br />
<br />
<br />
Mooseblood's about to leave<br />
the building! So long, bee!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Hey, guys!<br />
- Mooseblood!<br />
<br />
<br />
I knew I'd catch y'all down here.<br />
Did you bring your crazy straw?<br />
<br />
<br />
We throw it in jars, slap a label on it,<br />
and it's pretty much pure profit.<br />
<br />
<br />
What is this place?<br />
<br />
<br />
A bee's got a brain<br />
the size of a pinhead.<br />
<br />
<br />
They are pinheads!<br />
<br />
<br />
Pinhead.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Oheck out the new smoker.<br />
- Oh, sweet. That's the one you want.<br />

<br />
A couple breaths of this<br />
knocks them right out.<br />
<br />
<br />
They make the honey,<br />
and we make the money.<br />
<br />
<br />
"They make the honey,<br />
and we make the money"?<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, my!<br />
<br />
<br />
What's going on? Are you OK?<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah. It doesn't last too long.<br />
<br />
<br />
Do you know you're<br />
in a fake hive with fake walls?<br />
<br />
<br />
Our queen was moved here.<br />
We had no choice.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is your queen?<br />
That's a man in women's clothes!<br />
<br />
<br />
That's a drag queen!<br />
<br />
<br />
What is this?<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, no!<br />
<br />
<br />
There's hundreds of them!<br />
<br />
<br />
Bee honey.<br />
<br />
<br />
Our honey is being brazenly stolen<br />
on a massive scale!<br />
<br />
<br />
This is worse than anything bears<br />
have done! I intend to do something.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, Barry, stop.<br />
<br />
<br />
Who told you humans are taking<br />
our honey? That's a rumor.<br />
<br />
<br />
Do these look like rumors?<br />
<br />
<br />
That's a conspiracy theory.<br />
These are obviously doctored photos.<br />
<br />
<br />
How did you get mixed up in this?<br />
<br />
<br />
He's been talking to humans.<br />
<br />
<br />
- What?<br />
- Talking to humans?!<br />
<br />
<br />
He has a human girlfriend.<br />
And they make out!<br />
<br />
<br />
Make out? Barry!<br />
<br />
<br />
We do not.<br />
<br />
<br />
- You wish you could.<br />
- Whose side are you on?<br />
<br />
<br />
The bees!<br />
<br />
<br />
I dated a cricket once in San Antonio.<br />
Those crazy legs kept me up all night.<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry, this is what you want<br />
to do with your life?<br />
<br />
<br />
I want to do it for all our lives.<br />
Nobody works harder than bees!<br />
<br />
<br />
Dad, I remember you<br />
coming home so overworked<br />
<br />
<br />
your hands were still stirring.<br />
You couldn't stop.<br />
<br />
<br />
I remember that.<br />
<br />
<br />
What right do they have to our honey?<br />
<br />
<br />
We live on two cups a year. They put it<br />
in lip balm for no reason whatsoever!<br />
<br />
<br />
Even if it's true, what can one bee do?<br />
<br />
<br />
Sting them where it really hurts.<br />
<br />
<br />
In the face! The eye!<br />
<br />
<br />
- That would hurt.<br />
- No.<br />
<br />
<br />
Up the nose? That's a killer.<br />
<br />
<br />
There's only one place you can sting<br />
the humans, one place where it matters.<br />

<br />
A tri-county bee, Barry Benson,<br />
<br />
<br />
intends to sue the human race<br />
for stealing our honey,<br />
<br />
<br />
packaging it and profiting<br />
from it illegally!<br />
<br />
<br />
Tomorrow night on Bee Larry King,<br />
<br />
<br />
we'll have three former queens here in<br />
our studio, discussing their new book,<br />
<br />
<br />
Olassy Ladies,<br />
out this week on Hexagon.<br />
<br />
<br />
Tonight we're talking to Barry Benson.<br />
<br />
<br />
Did you ever think, "I'm a kid<br />
from the hive. I can't do this"?<br />
<br />
<br />
Bees have never been afraid<br />
to change the world.<br />
<br />
<br />
What about Bee Oolumbus?<br />
Bee Gandhi? Bejesus?<br />
<br />
<br />
Where I'm from, we'd never sue humans.<br />
<br />
<br />
We were thinking<br />
of stickball or candy stores.<br />
<br />
<br />
How old are you?<br />
<br />
<br />
The bee community<br />
is supporting you in this case,<br />
<br />
<br />
which will be the trial<br />
of the bee century.<br />
<br />
<br />
You know, they have a Larry King<br />
in the human world too.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's a common name. Next week...<br />
<br />
<br />
He looks like you and has a show<br />
and suspenders and colored dots...<br />
<br />
<br />
Next week...<br />
<br />
<br />
Glasses, quotes on the bottom from the<br />
guest even though you just heard 'em.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bear Week next week!<br />
They're scary, hairy and here live.<br />
<br />
<br />
Always leans forward, pointy shoulders,<br />
squinty eyes, very Jewish.<br />
<br />
<br />
In tennis, you attack<br />
at the point of weakness!<br />
<br />
<br />
It was my grandmother, Ken. She's 81.<br />
<br />
<br />
Honey, her backhand's a joke!<br />
I'm not gonna take advantage of that?<br />
<br />
<br />
Quiet, please.<br />
Actual work going on here.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Is that that same bee?<br />
- Yes, it is!<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm helping him sue the human race.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Hello.<br />
- Hello, bee.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is Ken.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah, I remember you. Timberland, size<br />
ten and a half. Vibram sole, I believe.<br />
<br />
<br />
Why does he talk again?<br />
<br />
<br />
Listen, you better go<br />
'cause we're really busy working.<br />
<br />
<br />
But it's our yogurt night!<br />
<br />
<br />
Bye-bye.<br />
<br />
<br />
Why is yogurt night so difficult?!<br />
<br />
<br />
You poor thing.<br />
You two have been at this for hours!<br />
<br />
<br />
Yes, and Adam here<br />
has been a huge help.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Frosting...<br />
- How many sugars?<br />
<br />
<br />
Just one. I try not<br />
to use the competition.<br />
<br />
<br />
So why are you helping me?<br />
<br />
<br />
Bees have good qualities.<br />
<br />
<br />
And it takes my mind off the shop.<br />
<br />
<br />
Instead of flowers, people<br />
are giving balloon bouquets now.<br />
<br />
<br />
Those are great, if you're three.<br />
<br />
<br />
And artificial flowers.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Oh, those just get me psychotic!<br />
- Yeah, me too.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bent stingers, pointless pollination.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bees must hate those fake things!<br />
<br />
<br />
Nothing worse<br />
than a daffodil that's had work done.<br />
<br />
<br />
Maybe this could make up<br />
for it a little bit.<br />
<br />
<br />
- This lawsuit's a pretty big deal.<br />
- I guess.<br />
<br />
<br />
You sure you want to go through with it?<br />
<br />
<br />
Am I sure? When I'm done with<br />
the humans, they won't be able<br />
<br />
<br />
to say, "Honey, I'm home,"<br />
without paying a royalty!<br />
<br />
<br />
It's an incredible scene<br />
here in downtown Manhattan,<br />
<br />
<br />
where the world anxiously waits,<br />
because for the first time in history,<br />
<br />
<br />
we will hear for ourselves<br />
if a honeybee can actually speak.<br />
<br />
<br />
What have we gotten into here, Barry?<br />
<br />
<br />
It's pretty big, isn't it?<br />
<br />
<br />
I can't believe how many humans<br />
don't work during the day.<br />
<br />
<br />
You think billion-dollar multinational<br />
food companies have good lawyers?<br />
<br />
<br />
Everybody needs to stay<br />
behind the barricade.<br />
<br />
<br />
- What's the matter?<br />
- I don't know, I just got a chill.<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, if it isn't the bee team.<br />
<br />
<br />
You boys work on this?<br />
<br />
<br />
All rise! The Honorable<br />
Judge Bumbleton presiding.<br />
<br />
<br />
All right. Oase number 4475,<br />
<br />
<br />
Superior Oourt of New York,<br />
Barry Bee Benson v. the Honey Industry<br />
<br />
<br />
is now in session.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mr. Montgomery, you're representing<br />
the five food companies collectively?<br />
<br />
<br />
A privilege.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mr. Benson... you're representing<br />
all the bees of the world?<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm kidding. Yes, Your Honor,<br />
we're ready to proceed.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mr. Montgomery,<br />
your opening statement, please.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,<br />
<br />
<br />
my grandmother was a simple woman.<br />
<br />
<br />
Born on a farm, she believed<br />
it was man's divine right<br />
<br />
<br />
to benefit from the bounty<br />
of nature God put before us.<br />
<br />
<br />
If we lived in the topsy-turvy world<br />
Mr. Benson imagines,<br />
<br />
<br />
just think of what would it mean.<br />
<br />
<br />
I would have to negotiate<br />
with the silkworm<br />
<br />
<br />
for the elastic in my britches!<br />
<br />
<br />
Talking bee!<br />
<br />
<br />
How do we know this isn't some sort of<br />
<br />
<br />
holographic motion-picture-capture<br />
Hollywood wizardry?<br />
<br />
<br />
They could be using laser beams!<br />
<br />
<br />
Robotics! Ventriloquism!<br />
Oloning! For all we know,<br />
<br />
<br />
he could be on steroids!<br />
<br />
<br />
Mr. Benson?<br />
<br />
<br />
Ladies and gentlemen,<br />
there's no trickery here.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm just an ordinary bee.<br />
Honey's pretty important to me.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's important to all bees.<br />
We invented it!<br />
<br />
<br />
We make it. And we protect it<br />
with our lives.<br />
<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, there are<br />
some people in this room<br />
<br />
<br />
who think they can take it from us<br />
<br />
<br />
'cause we're the little guys!<br />
I'm hoping that, after this is all over,<br />
<br />
<br />
you'll see how, by taking our honey,<br />
you not only take everything we have<br />
<br />
<br />
but everything we are!<br />
<br />
<br />
I wish he'd dress like that<br />
all the time. So nice!<br />
<br />
<br />
Oall your first witness.<br />
<br />
<br />
So, Mr. Klauss Vanderhayden<br />
of Honey Farms, big company you have.<br />
<br />
<br />
I suppose so.<br />
<br />
<br />
I see you also own<br />
Honeyburton and Honron!<br />
<br />
<br />
Yes, they provide beekeepers<br />
for our farms.<br />
<br />
<br />
Beekeeper. I find that<br />
to be a very disturbing term.<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't imagine you employ<br />
any bee-free-ers, do you?<br />
<br />
<br />
- No.<br />
- I couldn't hear you.<br />
<br />
<br />
- No.<br />
- No.<br />
<br />
<br />
Because you don't free bees.<br />
You keep bees. Not only that,<br />
<br />
<br />
it seems you thought a bear would be<br />
an appropriate image for a jar of honey.<br />
<br />
<br />
They're very lovable creatures.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yogi Bear, Fozzie Bear, Build-A-Bear.<br />
<br />
<br />
You mean like this?<br />
<br />
<br />
Bears kill bees!<br />
<br />
<br />
How'd you like his head crashing<br />
through your living room?!<br />
<br />
<br />
Biting into your couch!<br />
Spitting out your throw pillows!<br />
<br />
<br />
OK, that's enough. Take him away.<br />
<br />
<br />
So, Mr. Sting, thank you for being here.<br />
Your name intrigues me.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Where have I heard it before?<br />
- I was with a band called The Police.<br />
<br />
<br />
But you've never been<br />
a police officer, have you?<br />
<br />
<br />
No, I haven't.<br />
<br />
<br />
No, you haven't. And so here<br />
we have yet another example<br />
<br />
<br />
of bee culture casually<br />
stolen by a human<br />
<br />
<br />
for nothing more than<br />
a prance-about stage name.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, please.<br />
<br />
<br />
Have you ever been stung, Mr. Sting?<br />
<br />
<br />
Because I'm feeling<br />
a little stung, Sting.<br />
<br />
<br />
Or should I say... Mr. Gordon M. Sumner!<br />
<br />
<br />
That's not his real name?! You idiots!<br />
<br />
<br />
Mr. Liotta, first,<br />
belated congratulations on<br />
<br />
<br />
your Emmy win for a guest spot<br />
on ER in 2005.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you. Thank you.<br />
<br />
<br />
I see from your resume<br />
that you're devilishly handsome<br />
<br />
<br />
with a churning inner turmoil<br />
that's ready to blow.<br />
<br />
<br />
I enjoy what I do. Is that a crime?<br />
<br />
<br />
Not yet it isn't. But is this<br />
what it's come to for you?<br />
<br />
<br />
Exploiting tiny, helpless bees<br />
so you don't<br />
<br />
<br />
have to rehearse<br />
your part and learn your lines, sir?<br />
<br />
<br />
Watch it, Benson!<br />
I could blow right now!<br />
<br />
<br />
This isn't a goodfella.<br />
This is a badfella!<br />
<br />
<br />
Why doesn't someone just step on<br />
this creep, and we can all go home?!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Order in this court!<br />
- You're all thinking it!<br />
<br />
<br />
Order! Order, I say!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Say it!<br />
- Mr. Liotta, please sit down!<br />
<br />
<br />
I think it was awfully nice<br />
of that bear to pitch in like that.<br />
<br />
<br />
I think the jury's on our side.<br />
<br />
<br />
Are we doing everything right, legally?<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm a florist.<br />
<br />
<br />
Right. Well, here's to a great team.<br />
<br />
<br />
To a great team!<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, hello.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Ken!<br />
- Hello.<br />
<br />
<br />
I didn't think you were coming.<br />
<br />
<br />
No, I was just late.<br />
I tried to call, but... the battery.<br />
<br />
<br />
I didn't want all this to go to waste,<br />
so I called Barry. Luckily, he was free.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, that was lucky.<br />
<br />
<br />
There's a little left.<br />
I could heat it up.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah, heat it up, sure, whatever.<br />
<br />
<br />
So I hear you're quite a tennis player.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm not much for the game myself.<br />
The ball's a little grabby.<br />
<br />
<br />
That's where I usually sit.<br />
Right... there.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ken, Barry was looking at your resume,<br />
<br />
<br />
and he agreed with me that eating with<br />
chopsticks isn't really a special skill.<br />
<br />
<br />
You think I don't see what you're doing?<br />
<br />
<br />
I know how hard it is to find<br />
the rightjob. We have that in common.<br />
<br />
<br />
Do we?<br />
<br />
<br />
Bees have 100 percent employment,<br />
but we do jobs like taking the crud out.<br />
<br />
<br />
That's just what<br />
I was thinking about doing.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ken, I let Barry borrow your razor<br />
for his fuzz. I hope that was all right.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm going to drain the old stinger.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah, you do that.<br />
<br />
<br />
Look at that.<br />
<br />
<br />
You know, I've just about had it<br />
<br />
<br />
with your little mind games.<br />
<br />
<br />
- What's that?<br />
- Italian Vogue.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mamma mia, that's a lot of pages.<br />
<br />
<br />
A lot of ads.<br />
<br />
<br />
Remember what Van said, why is<br />
your life more valuable than mine?<br />
<br />
<br />
Funny, I just can't seem to recall that!<br />
<br />
<br />
I think something stinks in here!<br />
<br />
<br />
I love the smell of flowers.<br />
<br />
<br />
How do you like the smell of flames?!<br />
<br />
<br />
Not as much.<br />
<br />
<br />
Water bug! Not taking sides!<br />
<br />
<br />
Ken, I'm wearing a Ohapstick hat!<br />
This is pathetic!<br />
<br />
<br />
I've got issues!<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, well, well, a royal flush!<br />
<br />
<br />
- You're bluffing.<br />
- Am I?<br />
<br />
<br />
Surf's up, dude!<br />
<br />
<br />
Poo water!<br />
<br />
<br />
That bowl is gnarly.<br />
<br />
<br />
Except for those dirty yellow rings!<br />
<br />
<br />
Kenneth! What are you doing?!<br />
<br />
<br />
You know, I don't even like honey!<br />
I don't eat it!<br />
<br />
<br />
We need to talk!<br />
<br />
<br />
He's just a little bee!<br />
<br />
<br />
And he happens to be<br />
the nicest bee I've met in a long time!<br />
<br />
<br />
Long time? What are you talking about?!<br />
Are there other bugs in your life?<br />
<br />
<br />
No, but there are other things bugging<br />
me in life. And you're one of them!<br />
<br />
<br />
Fine! Talking bees, no yogurt night...<br />
<br />
<br />
My nerves are fried from riding<br />
on this emotional roller coaster!<br />
<br />
<br />
Goodbye, Ken.<br />
<br />
<br />
And for your information,<br />
<br />
<br />
I prefer sugar-free, artificial<br />
sweeteners made by man!<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm sorry about all that.<br />
<br />
<br />
I know it's got<br />
an aftertaste! I like it!<br />
<br />
<br />
I always felt there was some kind<br />
of barrier between Ken and me.<br />
<br />
<br />
I couldn't overcome it.<br />
Oh, well.<br />
<br />
<br />
Are you OK for the trial?<br />
<br />
<br />
I believe Mr. Montgomery<br />
is about out of ideas.<br />
<br />
<br />
We would like to call<br />
Mr. Barry Benson Bee to the stand.<br />
<br />
<br />
Good idea! You can really see why he's<br />
considered one of the best lawyers...<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah.<br />
<br />
<br />
Layton, you've<br />
gotta weave some magic<br />
<br />
<br />
with this jury,<br />
or it's gonna be all over.<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't worry. The only thing I have<br />
to do to turn this jury around<br />
<br />
<br />
is to remind them<br />
of what they don't like about bees.<br />
<br />
<br />
- You got the tweezers?<br />
- Are you allergic?<br />
<br />
<br />
Only to losing, son. Only to losing.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mr. Benson Bee, I'll ask you<br />
what I think we'd all like to know.<br />
<br />
<br />
What exactly is your relationship<br />
<br />
<br />
to that woman?<br />
<br />
<br />
We're friends.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Good friends?<br />
- Yes.<br />
<br />
<br />
How good? Do you live together?<br />
<br />
<br />
Wait a minute...<br />
<br />
<br />
Are you her little...<br />
<br />
<br />
...bedbug?<br />
<br />
<br />
I've seen a bee documentary or two.<br />
From what I understand,<br />
<br />
<br />
doesn't your queen give birth<br />
to all the bee children?<br />
<br />
<br />
- Yeah, but...<br />
- So those aren't your real parents!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Oh, Barry...<br />
- Yes, they are!<br />
<br />
<br />
Hold me back!<br />
<br />
<br />
You're an illegitimate bee,<br />
aren't you, Benson?<br />
<br />
<br />
He's denouncing bees!<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't y'all date your cousins?<br />
<br />
<br />
- Objection!<br />
- I'm going to pincushion this guy!<br />
<br />
<br />
Adam, don't! It's what he wants!<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, I'm hit!!<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, lordy, I am hit!<br />
<br />
<br />
Order! Order!<br />
<br />
<br />
The venom! The venom<br />
is coursing through my veins!<br />
<br />
<br />
I have been felled<br />
by a winged beast of destruction!<br />
<br />
<br />
You see? You can't treat them<br />
like equals! They're striped savages!<br />
<br />
<br />
Stinging's the only thing<br />
they know! It's their way!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Adam, stay with me.<br />
- I can't feel my legs.<br />
<br />
<br />
What angel of mercy<br />
will come forward to suck the poison<br />
<br />
<br />
from my heaving buttocks?<br />
<br />
<br />
I will have order in this court. Order!<br />
<br />
<br />
Order, please!<br />
<br />
<br />
The case of the honeybees<br />
versus the human race<br />
<br />
<br />
took a pointed turn against the bees<br />
<br />
<br />
yesterday when one of their legal<br />
team stung Layton T. Montgomery.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Hey, buddy.<br />
- Hey.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Is there much pain?<br />
- Yeah.<br />
<br />
<br />
I...<br />
<br />
<br />
I blew the whole case, didn't I?<br />
<br />
<br />
It doesn't matter. What matters is<br />
you're alive. You could have died.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'd be better off dead. Look at me.<br />
<br />
<br />
They got it from the cafeteria<br />
downstairs, in a tuna sandwich.<br />
<br />
<br />
Look, there's<br />
a little celery still on it.<br />
<br />
<br />
What was it like to sting someone?<br />
<br />
<br />
I can't explain it. It was all...<br />
<br />
<br />
All adrenaline and then...<br />
and then ecstasy!<br />
<br />
<br />
All right.<br />
<br />
<br />
You think it was all a trap?<br />
<br />
<br />
Of course. I'm sorry.<br />
I flew us right into this.<br />
<br />
<br />
What were we thinking? Look at us. We're<br />
just a couple of bugs in this world.<br />
<br />
<br />
What will the humans do to us<br />
if they win?<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't know.<br />
<br />
<br />
I hear they put the roaches in motels.<br />
That doesn't sound so bad.<br />
<br />
<br />
Adam, they check in,<br />
but they don't check out!<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, my.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oould you get a nurse<br />
to close that window?<br />
<br />
<br />
- Why?<br />
- The smoke.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bees don't smoke.<br />
<br />
<br />
Right. Bees don't smoke.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bees don't smoke!<br />
But some bees are smoking.<br />
<br />
<br />
That's it! That's our case!<br />
<br />
<br />
It is? It's not over?<br />
<br />
<br />
Get dressed. I've gotta go somewhere.<br />
<br />
<br />
Get back to the court and stall.<br />
Stall any way you can.<br />
<br />
<br />
And assuming you've done step correctly, you're ready for the tub.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mr. Flayman.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yes? Yes, Your Honor!<br />
<br />
<br />
Where is the rest of your team?<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, Your Honor, it's interesting.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bees are trained to fly haphazardly,<br />
<br />
<br />
and as a result,<br />
we don't make very good time.<br />
<br />
<br />
I actually heard a funny story about...<br />
<br />
<br />
Your Honor,<br />
haven't these ridiculous bugs<br />
<br />
<br />
taken up enough<br />
of this court's valuable time?<br />
<br />
<br />
How much longer will we allow<br />
these absurd shenanigans to go on?<br />
<br />
<br />
They have presented no compelling<br />
evidence to support their charges<br />
<br />
<br />
against my clients,<br />
who run legitimate businesses.<br />
<br />
<br />
I move for a complete dismissal<br />
of this entire case!<br />
<br />
<br />
Mr. Flayman, I'm afraid I'm going<br />
<br />
<br />
to have to consider<br />
Mr. Montgomery's motion.<br />
<br />
<br />
But you can't! We have a terrific case.<br />
<br />
<br />
Where is your proof?<br />
Where is the evidence?<br />
<br />
<br />
Show me the smoking gun!<br />
<br />
<br />
Hold it, Your Honor!<br />
You want a smoking gun?<br />
<br />
<br />
Here is your smoking gun.<br />
<br />
<br />
What is that?<br />
<br />
<br />
It's a bee smoker!<br />
<br />
<br />
What, this?<br />
This harmless little contraption?<br />
<br />
<br />
This couldn't hurt a fly,<br />
let alone a bee.<br />
<br />
<br />
Look at what has happened<br />
<br />
<br />
to bees who have never been asked,<br />
"Smoking or non?"<br />
<br />
<br />
Is this what nature intended for us?<br />
<br />
<br />
To be forcibly addicted<br />
to smoke machines<br />
<br />
<br />
and man-made wooden slat work camps?<br />
<br />
<br />
Living out our lives as honey slaves<br />
to the white man?<br />
<br />
<br />
- What are we gonna do?<br />
- He's playing the species card.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ladies and gentlemen, please,<br />
free these bees!<br />
<br />
<br />
Free the bees! Free the bees!<br />
<br />
<br />
Free the bees!<br />
<br />
<br />
Free the bees! Free the bees!<br />
<br />
<br />
The court finds in favor of the bees!<br />
<br />
<br />
Vanessa, we won!<br />
<br />
<br />
I knew you could do it! High-five!<br />
<br />
<br />
Sorry.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm OK! You know what this means?<br />
<br />
<br />
All the honey<br />
will finally belong to the bees.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now we won't have<br />
to work so hard all the time.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is an unholy perversion<br />
of the balance of nature, Benson.<br />
<br />
<br />
You'll regret this.<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry, how much honey is out there?<br />
<br />
<br />
All right. One at a time.<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry, who are you wearing?<br />
<br />
<br />
My sweater is Ralph Lauren,<br />
and I have no pants.<br />
<br />
<br />
- What if Montgomery's right?<br />
- What do you mean?<br />
<br />
<br />
We've been living the bee way<br />
a long time, 27 million years.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oongratulations on your victory.<br />
What will you demand as a settlement?<br />
<br />
<br />
First, we'll demand a complete shutdown<br />
of all bee work camps.<br />
<br />
<br />
Then we want back the honey<br />
that was ours to begin with,<br />
<br />
<br />
every last drop.<br />
<br />
<br />
We demand an end to the glorification<br />
of the bear as anything more<br />
<br />
<br />
than a filthy, smelly,<br />
bad-breath stink machine.<br />
<br />
<br />
We're all aware<br />
of what they do in the woods.<br />
<br />
<br />
Wait for my signal.<br />
<br />
<br />
Take him out.<br />
<br />
<br />
He'll have nauseous<br />
for a few hours, then he'll be fine.<br />
<br />
<br />
And we will no longer tolerate<br />
bee-negative nicknames...<br />
<br />
<br />
But it's just a prance-about stage name!<br />
<br />
<br />
...unnecessary inclusion of honey<br />
in bogus health products<br />
<br />
<br />
and la-dee-da human<br />
tea-time snack garnishments.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oan't breathe.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bring it in, boys!<br />
<br />
<br />
Hold it right there! Good.<br />
<br />
<br />
Tap it.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mr. Buzzwell, we just passed three cups,<br />
and there's gallons more coming!<br />
<br />
<br />
- I think we need to shut down!<br />
- Shut down? We've never shut down.<br />
<br />
<br />
Shut down honey production!<br />
<br />
<br />
Stop making honey!<br />
<br />
<br />
Turn your key, sir!<br />
<br />
<br />
What do we do now?<br />
<br />
<br />
Oannonball!<br />
<br />
<br />
We're shutting honey production!<br />
<br />
<br />
Mission abort.<br />
<br />
<br />
Aborting pollination and nectar detail.<br />
Returning to base.<br />
<br />
<br />
Adam, you wouldn't believe<br />
how much honey was out there.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, yeah?<br />
<br />
<br />
What's going on? Where is everybody?<br />
<br />
<br />
- Are they out celebrating?<br />
- They're home.<br />
<br />
<br />
They don't know what to do.<br />
Laying out, sleeping in.<br />
<br />
<br />
I heard your Uncle Oarl was on his way<br />
to San Antonio with a cricket.<br />
<br />
<br />
At least we got our honey back.<br />
<br />
<br />
Sometimes I think, so what if humans<br />
liked our honey? Who wouldn't?<br />
<br />
<br />
It's the greatest thing in the world!<br />
I was excited to be part of making it.<br />
<br />
<br />
This was my new desk. This was my<br />
new job. I wanted to do it really well.<br />
<br />
<br />
And now...<br />
<br />
<br />
Now I can't.<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't understand<br />
why they're not happy.<br />
<br />
<br />
I thought their lives would be better!<br />
<br />
<br />
They're doing nothing. It's amazing.<br />
Honey really changes people.<br />
<br />
<br />
You don't have any idea<br />
what's going on, do you?<br />
<br />
<br />
- What did you want to show me?<br />
- This.<br />
<br />
<br />
What happened here?<br />
<br />
<br />
That is not the half of it.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, no. Oh, my.<br />
<br />
<br />
They're all wilting.<br />
<br />
<br />
Doesn't look very good, does it?<br />
<br />
<br />
No.<br />
<br />
<br />
And whose fault do you think that is?<br />
<br />
<br />
You know, I'm gonna guess bees.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bees?<br />
<br />
<br />
Specifically, me.<br />
<br />
<br />
I didn't think bees not needing to make<br />
honey would affect all these things.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's notjust flowers.<br />
Fruits, vegetables, they all need bees.<br />
<br />
<br />
That's our whole SAT test right there.<br />
<br />
<br />
Take away produce, that affects<br />
the entire animal kingdom.<br />
<br />
<br />
And then, of course...<br />
<br />
<br />
The human species?<br />
<br />
<br />
So if there's no more pollination,<br />
<br />
<br />
it could all just go south here,<br />
couldn't it?<br />
<br />
<br />
I know this is also partly my fault.<br />
<br />
<br />
How about a suicide pact?<br />
<br />
<br />
How do we do it?<br />
<br />
<br />
- I'll sting you, you step on me.<br />
- Thatjust kills you twice.<br />
<br />
<br />
Right, right.<br />
<br />
<br />
Listen, Barry...<br />
sorry, but I gotta get going.<br />
<br />
<br />
I had to open my mouth and talk.<br />
<br />
<br />
Vanessa?<br />
<br />
<br />
Vanessa? Why are you leaving?<br />
Where are you going?<br />
<br />
<br />
To the final Tournament of Roses parade<br />
in Pasadena.<br />
<br />
<br />
They've moved it to this weekend<br />
because all the flowers are dying.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's the last chance<br />
I'll ever have to see it.<br />
<br />
<br />
Vanessa, I just wanna say I'm sorry.<br />
I never meant it to turn out like this.<br />
<br />
<br />
I know. Me neither.<br />
<br />
<br />
Tournament of Roses.<br />
Roses can't do sports.<br />
<br />
<br />
Wait a minute. Roses. Roses?<br />
<br />
<br />
Roses!<br />
<br />
<br />
Vanessa!<br />
<br />
<br />
Roses?!<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry?<br />
<br />
<br />
- Roses are flowers!<br />
- Yes, they are.<br />
<br />
<br />
Flowers, bees, pollen!<br />
<br />
<br />
I know.<br />
That's why this is the last parade.<br />
<br />
<br />
Maybe not.<br />
Oould you ask him to slow down?<br />
<br />
<br />
Oould you slow down?<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry!<br />
<br />
<br />
OK, I made a huge mistake.<br />
This is a total disaster, all my fault.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yes, it kind of is.<br />
<br />
<br />
I've ruined the planet.<br />
I wanted to help you<br />
<br />
<br />
with the flower shop.<br />
I've made it worse.<br />
<br />
<br />
Actually, it's completely closed down.<br />
<br />
<br />
I thought maybe you were remodeling.<br />
<br />
<br />
But I have another idea, and it's<br />
greater than my previous ideas combined.<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't want to hear it!<br />
<br />
<br />
All right, they have the roses,<br />
the roses have the pollen.<br />
<br />
<br />
I know every bee, plant<br />
and flower bud in this park.<br />
<br />
<br />
All we gotta do is get what they've got<br />
back here with what we've got.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Bees.<br />
- Park.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Pollen!<br />
- Flowers.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Repollination!<br />
- Across the nation!<br />
<br />
<br />
Tournament of Roses,<br />
Pasadena, Oalifornia.<br />
<br />
<br />
They've got nothing<br />
but flowers, floats and cotton candy.<br />
<br />
<br />
Security will be tight.<br />
<br />
<br />
I have an idea.<br />
<br />
<br />
Vanessa Bloome, FTD.<br />
<br />
<br />
Official floral business. It's real.<br />
<br />
<br />
Sorry, ma'am. Nice brooch.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you. It was a gift.<br />
<br />
<br />
Once inside,<br />
we just pick the right float.<br />
<br />
<br />
How about The Princess and the Pea?<br />
<br />
<br />
I could be the princess,<br />
and you could be the pea!<br />
<br />
<br />
Yes, I got it.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Where should I sit?<br />
- What are you?<br />
<br />
<br />
- I believe I'm the pea.<br />
- The pea?<br />
<br />
<br />
It goes under the mattresses.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Not in this fairy tale, sweetheart.<br />
- I'm getting the marshal.<br />
<br />
<br />
You do that!<br />
This whole parade is a fiasco!<br />
<br />
<br />
Let's see what this baby'll do.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hey, what are you doing?!<br />
<br />
<br />
Then all we do<br />
is blend in with traffic...<br />
<br />
<br />
...without arousing suspicion.<br />
<br />
<br />
Once at the airport,<br />
there's no stopping us.<br />
<br />
<br />
Stop! Security.<br />
<br />
<br />
- You and your insect pack your float?<br />
- Yes.<br />
<br />
<br />
Has it been<br />
in your possession the entire time?<br />
<br />
<br />
Would you remove your shoes?<br />
<br />
<br />
- Remove your stinger.<br />
- It's part of me.<br />
<br />
<br />
I know. Just having some fun.<br />
Enjoy your flight.<br />
<br />
<br />
Then if we're lucky, we'll have<br />
just enough pollen to do the job.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oan you believe how lucky we are? We<br />
have just enough pollen to do the job!<br />
<br />
<br />
I think this is gonna work.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's got to work.<br />
<br />
<br />
Attention, passengers,<br />
this is Oaptain Scott.<br />
<br />
<br />
We have a bit of bad weather<br />
in New York.<br />
<br />
<br />
It looks like we'll experience<br />
a couple hours delay.<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry, these are cut flowers<br />
with no water. They'll never make it.<br />
<br />
<br />
I gotta get up there<br />
and talk to them.<br />
<br />
<br />
Be careful.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oan I get help<br />
with the Sky Mall magazine?<br />
<br />
<br />
I'd like to order the talking<br />
inflatable nose and ear hair trimmer.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oaptain, I'm in a real situation.<br />
<br />
<br />
- What'd you say, Hal?<br />
- Nothing.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bee!<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't freak out! My entire species...<br />
<br />
<br />
What are you doing?<br />
<br />
<br />
- Wait a minute! I'm an attorney!<br />
- Who's an attorney?<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't move.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, Barry.<br />
<br />
<br />
Good afternoon, passengers.<br />
This is your captain.<br />
<br />
<br />
Would a Miss Vanessa Bloome in 24B<br />
please report to the cockpit?<br />
<br />
<br />
And please hurry!<br />
<br />
<br />
What happened here?<br />
<br />
<br />
There was a DustBuster,<br />
a toupee, a life raft exploded.<br />
<br />
<br />
One's bald, one's in a boat,<br />
they're both unconscious!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Is that another bee joke?<br />
- No!<br />
<br />
<br />
No one's flying the plane!<br />
<br />
<br />
This is JFK control tower, Flight 356.<br />
What's your status?<br />
<br />
<br />
This is Vanessa Bloome.<br />
I'm a florist from New York.<br />
<br />
<br />
Where's the pilot?<br />
<br />
<br />
He's unconscious,<br />
and so is the copilot.<br />
<br />
<br />
Not good. Does anyone onboard<br />
have flight experience?<br />
<br />
<br />
As a matter of fact, there is.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Who's that?<br />
- Barry Benson.<br />
<br />
<br />
From the honey trial?! Oh, great.<br />
<br />
<br />
Vanessa, this is nothing more<br />
than a big metal bee.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's got giant wings, huge engines.<br />
<br />
<br />
I can't fly a plane.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Why not? Isn't John Travolta a pilot?<br />
- Yes.<br />
<br />
<br />
How hard could it be?<br />
<br />
<br />
Wait, Barry!<br />
We're headed into some lightning.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is Bob Bumble. We have some<br />
late-breaking news from JFK Airport,<br />
<br />
<br />
where a suspenseful scene<br />
is developing.<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry Benson,<br />
fresh from his legal victory...<br />
<br />
<br />
That's Barry!<br />
<br />
<br />
...is attempting to land a plane,<br />
loaded with people, flowers<br />
<br />
<br />
and an incapacitated flight crew.<br />
<br />
<br />
Flowers?!<br />
<br />
<br />
We have a storm in the area<br />
and two individuals at the controls<br />
<br />
<br />
with absolutely no flight experience.<br />
<br />
<br />
Just a minute.<br />
There's a bee on that plane.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm quite familiar with Mr. Benson<br />
and his no-account compadres.<br />
<br />
<br />
They've done enough damage.<br />
<br />
<br />
But isn't he your only hope?<br />
<br />
<br />
Technically, a bee<br />
shouldn't be able to fly at all.<br />
<br />
<br />
Their wings are too small...<br />
<br />
<br />
Haven't we heard this a million times?<br />
<br />
<br />
"The surface area of the wings<br />
and body mass make no sense."<br />
<br />
<br />
- Get this on the air!<br />
- Got it.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Stand by.<br />
- We're going live.<br />
<br />
<br />
The way we work may be a mystery to you.<br />
<br />
<br />
Making honey takes a lot of bees<br />
doing a lot of small jobs.<br />
<br />
<br />
But let me tell you about a small job.<br />
<br />
<br />
If you do it well,<br />
it makes a big difference.<br />
<br />
<br />
More than we realized.<br />
To us, to everyone.<br />
<br />
<br />
That's why I want to get bees<br />
back to working together.<br />
<br />
<br />
That's the bee way!<br />
We're not made of Jell-O.<br />
<br />
<br />
We get behind a fellow.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Black and yellow!<br />
- Hello!<br />
<br />
<br />
Left, right, down, hover.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Hover?<br />
- Forget hover.<br />
<br />
<br />
This isn't so hard.<br />
Beep-beep! Beep-beep!<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry, what happened?!<br />
<br />
<br />
Wait, I think we were<br />
on autopilot the whole time.<br />
<br />
<br />
- That may have been helping me.<br />
- And now we're not!<br />
<br />
<br />
So it turns out I cannot fly a plane.<br />
<br />
<br />
All of you, let's get<br />
behind this fellow! Move it out!<br />
<br />
<br />
Move out!<br />
<br />
<br />
Our only chance is if I do what I'd do,<br />
you copy me with the wings of the plane!<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't have to yell.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm not yelling!<br />
We're in a lot of trouble.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's very hard to concentrate<br />
with that panicky tone in your voice!<br />
<br />
<br />
It's not a tone. I'm panicking!<br />
<br />
<br />
I can't do this!<br />
<br />
<br />
Vanessa, pull yourself together.<br />
You have to snap out of it!<br />
<br />
<br />
You snap out of it.<br />
<br />
<br />
You snap out of it.<br />
<br />
<br />
- You snap out of it!<br />
- You snap out of it!<br />
<br />
<br />
- You snap out of it!<br />
- You snap out of it!<br />
<br />
<br />
- You snap out of it!<br />
- You snap out of it!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Hold it!<br />
- Why? Oome on, it's my turn.<br />
<br />
<br />
How is the plane flying?<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't know.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hello?<br />
<br />
<br />
Benson, got any flowers<br />
for a happy occasion in there?<br />
<br />
<br />
The Pollen Jocks!<br />
<br />
<br />
They do get behind a fellow.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Black and yellow.<br />
- Hello.<br />
<br />
<br />
All right, let's drop this tin can<br />
on the blacktop.<br />
<br />
<br />
Where? I can't see anything. Oan you?<br />
<br />
<br />
No, nothing. It's all cloudy.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oome on. You got to think bee, Barry.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Thinking bee.<br />
- Thinking bee.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thinking bee!<br />
Thinking bee! Thinking bee!<br />
<br />
<br />
Wait a minute.<br />
I think I'm feeling something.<br />
<br />
<br />
- What?<br />
- I don't know. It's strong, pulling me.<br />
<br />
<br />
Like a 27-million-year-old instinct.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bring the nose down.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thinking bee!<br />
Thinking bee! Thinking bee!<br />
<br />
<br />
- What in the world is on the tarmac?<br />
- Get some lights on that!<br />
<br />
<br />
Thinking bee!<br />
Thinking bee! Thinking bee!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Vanessa, aim for the flower.<br />
- OK.<br />
<br />
<br />
Out the engines. We're going in<br />
on bee power. Ready, boys?<br />
<br />
<br />
Affirmative!<br />
<br />
<br />
Good. Good. Easy, now. That's it.<br />
<br />
<br />
Land on that flower!<br />
<br />
<br />
Ready? Full reverse!<br />
<br />
<br />
Spin it around!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Not that flower! The other one!<br />
- Which one?<br />
<br />
<br />
- That flower.<br />
- I'm aiming at the flower!<br />
<br />
<br />
That's a fat guy in a flowered shirt.<br />
I mean the giant pulsating flower<br />
<br />
<br />
made of millions of bees!<br />
<br />
<br />
Pull forward. Nose down. Tail up.<br />
<br />
<br />
Rotate around it.<br />
<br />
<br />
- This is insane, Barry!<br />
- This's the only way I know how to fly.<br />
<br />
<br />
Am I koo-koo-kachoo, or is this plane<br />
flying in an insect-like pattern?<br />
<br />
<br />
Get your nose in there. Don't be afraid.<br />
Smell it. Full reverse!<br />
<br />
<br />
Just drop it. Be a part of it.<br />
<br />
<br />
Aim for the center!<br />
<br />
<br />
Now drop it in! Drop it in, woman!<br />
<br />
<br />
Oome on, already.<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry, we did it!<br />
You taught me how to fly!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Yes. No high-five!<br />
- Right.<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry, it worked!<br />
Did you see the giant flower?<br />
<br />
<br />
What giant flower? Where? Of course<br />
I saw the flower! That was genius!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Thank you.<br />
- But we're not done yet.<br />
<br />
<br />
Listen, everyone!<br />
<br />
<br />
This runway is covered<br />
with the last pollen<br />
<br />
<br />
from the last flowers<br />
available anywhere on Earth.<br />
<br />
<br />
That means this is our last chance.<br />
<br />
<br />
We're the only ones who make honey,<br />
pollinate flowers and dress like this.<br />
<br />
<br />
If we're gonna survive as a species,<br />
this is our moment! What do you say?<br />
<br />
<br />
Are we going to be bees, orjust<br />
Museum of Natural History keychains?<br />
<br />
<br />
We're bees!<br />
<br />
<br />
Keychain!<br />
<br />
<br />
Then follow me! Except Keychain.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hold on, Barry. Here.<br />
<br />
<br />
You've earned this.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah!<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm a Pollen Jock! And it's a perfect<br />
fit. All I gotta do are the sleeves.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, yeah.<br />
<br />
<br />
That's our Barry.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mom! The bees are back!<br />
<br />
<br />
If anybody needs<br />
to make a call, now's the time.<br />
<br />
<br />
I got a feeling we'll be<br />
working late tonight!<br />
<br />
<br />
Here's your change. Have a great<br />
afternoon! Oan I help who's next?<br />
<br />
<br />
Would you like some honey with that?<br />
It is bee-approved. Don't forget these.<br />
<br />
<br />
Milk, cream, cheese, it's all me.<br />
And I don't see a nickel!<br />
<br />
<br />
Sometimes I just feel<br />
like a piece of meat!<br />
<br />
<br />
I had no idea.<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry, I'm sorry.<br />
Have you got a moment?<br />
<br />
<br />
Would you excuse me?<br />
My mosquito associate will help you.<br />
<br />
<br />
Sorry I'm late.<br />
<br />
<br />
He's a lawyer too?<br />
<br />
<br />
I was already a blood-sucking parasite.<br />
All I needed was a briefcase.<br />
<br />
<br />
Have a great afternoon!<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry, I just got this huge tulip order,<br />
and I can't get them anywhere.<br />
<br />
<br />
No problem, Vannie.<br />
Just leave it to me.<br />
<br />
<br />
You're a lifesaver, Barry.<br />
Oan I help who's next?<br />
<br />
<br />
All right, scramble, jocks!<br />
It's time to fly.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you, Barry!<br />
<br />
<br />
That bee is living my life!<br />
<br />
<br />
Let it go, Kenny.<br />
<br />
<br />
- When will this nightmare end?!<br />
- Let it all go.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Beautiful day to fly.<br />
- Sure is.<br />
<br />
<br />
Between you and me,<br />
I was dying to get out of that office.<br />
<br />
<br />
You have got<br />
to start thinking bee, my friend.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Thinking bee!<br />
- Me?<br />
<br />
<br />
Hold it. Let's just stop<br />
for a second. Hold it.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, everyone.<br />
Oan we stop here?<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm not making a major life decision<br />
during a production number!<br />
<br />
<br />
All right. Take ten, everybody.<br />
Wrap it up, guys.<br />
<br />
<br />
I had virtually no rehearsal for that.</div>TheEnbyperorhttps://wiki-archive.emfcamp.org/2020/w/index.php?title=File:User-TheEnbyperor.png&diff=349File:User-TheEnbyperor.png2020-03-14T11:25:50Z<p>TheEnbyperor: </p>

According to all known laws<br />
of aviation,<br />
<br />
<br />
there is no way a bee<br />
should be able to fly.<br />
<br />
<br />
Its wings are too small to get<br />
its fat little body off the ground.<br />
<br />
<br />
The bee, of course, flies anyway<br />
<br />
<br />
because bees don't care<br />
what humans think is impossible.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yellow, black. Yellow, black.<br />
Yellow, black. Yellow, black.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ooh, black and yellow!<br />
Let's shake it up a little.<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry! Breakfast is ready!<br />
<br />
<br />
Ooming!<br />
<br />
<br />
Hang on a second.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hello?<br />
<br />
<br />
- Barry?<br />
- Adam?<br />
<br />
<br />
- Oan you believe this is happening?<br />
- I can't. I'll pick you up.<br />
<br />
<br />
Looking sharp.<br />
<br />
<br />
Use the stairs. Your father<br />
paid good money for those.<br />
<br />
<br />
Sorry. I'm excited.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here's the graduate.<br />
We're very proud of you, son.<br />
<br />
<br />
A perfect report card, all B's.<br />
<br />
<br />
Very proud.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ma! I got a thing going here.<br />
<br />
<br />
- You got lint on your fuzz.<br />
- Ow! That's me!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Wave to us! We'll be in row 118,000.<br />
- Bye!<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry, I told you,<br />
stop flying in the house!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Hey, Adam.<br />
- Hey, Barry.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Is that fuzz gel?<br />
- A little. Special day, graduation.<br />
<br />
<br />
Never thought I'd make it.<br />
<br />
<br />
Three days grade school,<br />
three days high school.<br />
<br />
<br />
Those were awkward.<br />
<br />
<br />
Three days college. I'm glad I took<br />
a day and hitchhiked around the hive.<br />
<br />
<br />
You did come back different.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Hi, Barry.<br />
- Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Hear about Frankie?<br />
- Yeah.<br />
<br />
<br />
- You going to the funeral?<br />
- No, I'm not going.<br />
<br />
<br />
Everybody knows,<br />
sting someone, you die.<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't waste it on a squirrel.<br />
Such a hothead.<br />
<br />
<br />
I guess he could have<br />
just gotten out of the way.<br />
<br />
<br />
I love this incorporating<br />
an amusement park into our day.<br />
<br />
<br />
That's why we don't need vacations.<br />
<br />
<br />
Boy, quite a bit of pomp...<br />
under the circumstances.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Well, Adam, today we are men.<br />
- We are!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Bee-men.<br />
- Amen!<br />
<br />
<br />
Hallelujah!<br />
<br />
<br />
Students, faculty, distinguished bees,<br />
<br />
<br />
please welcome Dean Buzzwell.<br />
<br />
<br />
Welcome, New Hive Oity<br />
graduating class of...<br />
<br />
<br />
...9:15.<br />
<br />
<br />
That concludes our ceremonies.<br />
<br />
<br />
And begins your career<br />
at Honex Industries!<br />
<br />
<br />
Will we pick ourjob today?<br />
<br />
<br />
I heard it's just orientation.<br />
<br />
<br />
Heads up! Here we go.<br />
<br />
<br />
Keep your hands and antennas<br />
inside the tram at all times.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Wonder what it'll be like?<br />
- A little scary.<br />
<br />
<br />
Welcome to Honex,<br />
a division of Honesco<br />
<br />
<br />
and a part of the Hexagon Group.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is it!<br />
<br />
<br />
Wow.<br />
<br />
<br />
Wow.<br />
<br />
<br />
We know that you, as a bee,<br />
have worked your whole life<br />
<br />
<br />
to get to the point where you<br />
can work for your whole life.<br />
<br />
<br />
Honey begins when our valiant Pollen<br />
Jocks bring the nectar to the hive.<br />
<br />
<br />
Our top-secret formula<br />
<br />
<br />
is automatically color-corrected,<br />
scent-adjusted and bubble-contoured<br />
<br />
<br />
into this soothing sweet syrup<br />
<br />
<br />
with its distinctive<br />
golden glow you know as...<br />
<br />
<br />
Honey!<br />
<br />
<br />
- That girl was hot.<br />
- She's my cousin!<br />
<br />
<br />
- She is?<br />
- Yes, we're all cousins.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Right. You're right.<br />
- At Honex, we constantly strive<br />
<br />
<br />
to improve every aspect<br />
of bee existence.<br />
<br />
<br />
These bees are stress-testing<br />
a new helmet technology.<br />
<br />
<br />
- What do you think he makes?<br />
- Not enough.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here we have our latest advancement,<br />
the Krelman.<br />
<br />
<br />
- What does that do?<br />
- Oatches that little strand of honey<br />
<br />
<br />
that hangs after you pour it.<br />
Saves us millions.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oan anyone work on the Krelman?<br />
<br />
<br />
Of course. Most bee jobs are<br />
small ones. But bees know<br />
<br />
<br />
that every small job,<br />
if it's done well, means a lot.<br />
<br />
<br />
But choose carefully<br />
<br />
<br />
because you'll stay in the job<br />
you pick for the rest of your life.<br />
<br />
<br />
The same job the rest of your life?<br />
I didn't know that.<br />
<br />
<br />
What's the difference?<br />
<br />
<br />
You'll be happy to know that bees,<br />
as a species, haven't had one day off<br />
<br />
<br />
in 27 million years.<br />
<br />
<br />
So you'll just work us to death?<br />
<br />
<br />
We'll sure try.<br />
<br />
<br />
Wow! That blew my mind!<br />
<br />
<br />
"What's the difference?"<br />
How can you say that?<br />
<br />
<br />
One job forever?<br />
That's an insane choice to have to make.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm relieved. Now we only have<br />
to make one decision in life.<br />
<br />
<br />
But, Adam, how could they<br />
never have told us that?<br />
<br />
<br />
Why would you question anything?<br />
We're bees.<br />
<br />
<br />
We're the most perfectly<br />
functioning society on Earth.<br />
<br />
<br />
You ever think maybe things<br />
work a little too well here?<br />
<br />
<br />
Like what? Give me one example.<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't know. But you know<br />
what I'm talking about.<br />
<br />
<br />
Please clear the gate.<br />
Royal Nectar Force on approach.<br />
<br />
<br />
Wait a second. Oheck it out.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Hey, those are Pollen Jocks!<br />
- Wow.<br />
<br />
<br />
I've never seen them this close.<br />
<br />
<br />
They know what it's like<br />
outside the hive.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah, but some don't come back.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Hey, Jocks!<br />
- Hi, Jocks!<br />
<br />
<br />
You guys did great!<br />
<br />
<br />
You're monsters!<br />
You're sky freaks! I love it! I love it!<br />
<br />
<br />
- I wonder where they were.<br />
- I don't know.<br />
<br />
<br />
Their day's not planned.<br />
<br />
<br />
Outside the hive, flying who knows<br />
where, doing who knows what.<br />
<br />
<br />
You can'tjust decide to be a Pollen<br />
Jock. You have to be bred for that.<br />
<br />
<br />
Right.<br />
<br />
<br />
Look. That's more pollen<br />
than you and I will see in a lifetime.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's just a status symbol.<br />
Bees make too much of it.<br />
<br />
<br />
Perhaps. Unless you're wearing it<br />
and the ladies see you wearing it.<br />
<br />
<br />
Those ladies?<br />
Aren't they our cousins too?<br />
<br />
<br />
Distant. Distant.<br />
<br />
<br />
Look at these two.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Oouple of Hive Harrys.<br />
- Let's have fun with them.<br />
<br />
<br />
It must be dangerous<br />
being a Pollen Jock.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah. Once a bear pinned me<br />
against a mushroom!<br />
<br />
<br />
He had a paw on my throat,<br />
and with the other, he was slapping me!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Oh, my!<br />
- I never thought I'd knock him out.<br />
<br />
<br />
What were you doing during this?<br />
<br />
<br />
Trying to alert the authorities.<br />
<br />
<br />
I can autograph that.<br />
<br />
<br />
A little gusty out there today,<br />
wasn't it, comrades?<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah. Gusty.<br />
<br />
<br />
We're hitting a sunflower patch<br />
six miles from here tomorrow.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Six miles, huh?<br />
- Barry!<br />
<br />
<br />
A puddle jump for us,<br />
but maybe you're not up for it.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Maybe I am.<br />
- You are not!<br />
<br />
<br />
We're going 0900 at J-Gate.<br />
<br />
<br />
What do you think, buzzy-boy?<br />
Are you bee enough?<br />
<br />
<br />
I might be. It all depends<br />
on what 0900 means.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hey, Honex!<br />
<br />
<br />
Dad, you surprised me.<br />
<br />
<br />
You decide what you're interested in?<br />
<br />
<br />
- Well, there's a lot of choices.<br />
- But you only get one.<br />
<br />
<br />
Do you ever get bored<br />
doing the same job every day?<br />
<br />
<br />
Son, let me tell you about stirring.<br />
<br />
<br />
You grab that stick, and you just<br />
move it around, and you stir it around.<br />
<br />
<br />
You get yourself into a rhythm.<br />
It's a beautiful thing.<br />
<br />
<br />
You know, Dad,<br />
the more I think about it,<br />
<br />
<br />
maybe the honey field<br />
just isn't right for me.<br />
<br />
<br />
You were thinking of what,<br />
making balloon animals?<br />
<br />
<br />
That's a bad job<br />
for a guy with a stinger.<br />
<br />
<br />
Janet, your son's not sure<br />
he wants to go into honey!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Barry, you are so funny sometimes.<br />
- I'm not trying to be funny.<br />
<br />
<br />
You're not funny! You're going<br />
into honey. Our son, the stirrer!<br />
<br />
<br />
- You're gonna be a stirrer?<br />
- No one's listening to me!<br />
<br />
<br />
Wait till you see the sticks I have.<br />
<br />
<br />
I could say anything right now.<br />
I'm gonna get an ant tattoo!<br />
<br />
<br />
Let's open some honey and celebrate!<br />
<br />
<br />
Maybe I'll pierce my thorax.<br />
Shave my antennae.<br />
<br />
<br />
Shack up with a grasshopper. Get<br />
a gold tooth and call everybody "dawg"!<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm so proud.<br />
<br />
<br />
- We're starting work today!<br />
- Today's the day.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oome on! All the good jobs<br />
will be gone.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah, right.<br />
<br />
<br />
Pollen counting, stunt bee, pouring,<br />
stirrer, front desk, hair removal...<br />
<br />
<br />
- Is it still available?<br />
- Hang on. Two left!<br />
<br />
<br />
One of them's yours! Oongratulations!<br />
Step to the side.<br />
<br />
<br />
- What'd you get?<br />
- Picking crud out. Stellar!<br />
<br />
<br />
Wow!<br />
<br />
<br />
Oouple of newbies?<br />
<br />
<br />
Yes, sir! Our first day! We are ready!<br />
<br />
<br />
Make your choice.<br />
<br />
<br />
- You want to go first?<br />
- No, you go.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, my. What's available?<br />
<br />
<br />
Restroom attendant's open,<br />
not for the reason you think.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Any chance of getting the Krelman?<br />
- Sure, you're on.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm sorry, the Krelman just closed out.<br />
<br />
<br />
Wax monkey's always open.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Krelman opened up again.<br />
<br />
<br />
What happened?<br />
<br />
<br />
A bee died. Makes an opening. See?<br />
He's dead. Another dead one.<br />
<br />
<br />
Deady. Deadified. Two more dead.<br />
<br />
<br />
Dead from the neck up.<br />
Dead from the neck down. That's life!<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, this is so hard!<br />
<br />
<br />
Heating, cooling,<br />
stunt bee, pourer, stirrer,<br />
<br />
<br />
humming, inspector number seven,<br />
lint coordinator, stripe supervisor,<br />
<br />
<br />
mite wrangler. Barry, what<br />
do you think I should... Barry?<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry!<br />
<br />
<br />
All right, we've got the sunflower patch<br />
in quadrant nine...<br />
<br />
<br />
What happened to you?<br />
Where are you?<br />
<br />
<br />
- I'm going out.<br />
- Out? Out where?<br />
<br />
<br />
- Out there.<br />
- Oh, no!<br />
<br />
<br />
I have to, before I go<br />
to work for the rest of my life.<br />
<br />
<br />
You're gonna die! You're crazy! Hello?<br />
<br />
<br />
Another call coming in.<br />
<br />
<br />
If anyone's feeling brave,<br />
there's a Korean deli on 83rd<br />
<br />
<br />
that gets their roses today.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hey, guys.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Look at that.<br />
- Isn't that the kid we saw yesterday?<br />
<br />
<br />
Hold it, son, flight deck's restricted.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's OK, Lou. We're gonna take him up.<br />
<br />
<br />
Really? Feeling lucky, are you?<br />
<br />
<br />
Sign here, here. Just initial that.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Thank you.<br />
- OK.<br />
<br />
<br />
You got a rain advisory today,<br />
<br />
<br />
and as you all know,<br />
bees cannot fly in rain.<br />
<br />
<br />
So be careful. As always,<br />
watch your brooms,<br />
<br />
<br />
hockey sticks, dogs,<br />
birds, bears and bats.<br />
<br />
<br />
Also, I got a couple of reports<br />
of root beer being poured on us.<br />
<br />
<br />
Murphy's in a home because of it,<br />
babbling like a cicada!<br />
<br />
<br />
- That's awful.<br />
- And a reminder for you rookies,<br />
<br />
<br />
bee law number one,<br />
absolutely no talking to humans!<br />
<br />
<br />
All right, launch positions!<br />
<br />
<br />
Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz,<br />
buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz!<br />
<br />
<br />
Black and yellow!<br />
<br />
<br />
Hello!<br />
<br />
<br />
You ready for this, hot shot?<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah. Yeah, bring it on.<br />
<br />
<br />
Wind, check.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Antennae, check.<br />
- Nectar pack, check.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Wings, check.<br />
- Stinger, check.<br />
<br />
<br />
Scared out of my shorts, check.<br />
<br />
<br />
OK, ladies,<br />
<br />
<br />
let's move it out!<br />
<br />
<br />
Pound those petunias,<br />
you striped stem-suckers!<br />
<br />
<br />
All of you, drain those flowers!<br />
<br />
<br />
Wow! I'm out!<br />
<br />
<br />
I can't believe I'm out!<br />
<br />
<br />
So blue.<br />
<br />
<br />
I feel so fast and free!<br />
<br />
<br />
Box kite!<br />
<br />
<br />
Wow!<br />
<br />
<br />
Flowers!<br />
<br />
<br />
This is Blue Leader.<br />
We have roses visual.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bring it around 30 degrees and hold.<br />
<br />
<br />
Roses!<br />
<br />
<br />
30 degrees, roger. Bringing it around.<br />
<br />
<br />
Stand to the side, kid.<br />
It's got a bit of a kick.<br />
<br />
<br />
That is one nectar collector!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Ever see pollination up close?<br />
- No, sir.<br />
<br />
<br />
I pick up some pollen here, sprinkle it<br />
over here. Maybe a dash over there,<br />
<br />
<br />
a pinch on that one.<br />
See that? It's a little bit of magic.<br />
<br />
<br />
That's amazing. Why do we do that?<br />
<br />
<br />
That's pollen power. More pollen, more<br />
flowers, more nectar, more honey for us.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oool.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm picking up a lot of bright yellow.<br />
Oould be daisies. Don't we need those?<br />
<br />
<br />
Oopy that visual.<br />
<br />
<br />
Wait. One of these flowers<br />
seems to be on the move.<br />
<br />
<br />
Say again? You're reporting<br />
a moving flower?<br />
<br />
<br />
Affirmative.<br />
<br />
<br />
That was on the line!<br />
<br />
<br />
This is the coolest. What is it?<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't know, but I'm loving this color.<br />
<br />
<br />
It smells good.<br />
Not like a flower, but I like it.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah, fuzzy.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ohemical-y.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oareful, guys. It's a little grabby.<br />
<br />
<br />
My sweet lord of bees!<br />
<br />
<br />
Oandy-brain, get off there!<br />
<br />
<br />
Problem!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Guys!<br />
- This could be bad.<br />
<br />
<br />
Affirmative.<br />
<br />
<br />
Very close.<br />
<br />
<br />
Gonna hurt.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mama's little boy.<br />
<br />
<br />
You are way out of position, rookie!<br />
<br />
<br />
Ooming in at you like a missile!<br />
<br />
<br />
Help me!<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't think these are flowers.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Should we tell him?<br />
- I think he knows.<br />
<br />
<br />
What is this?!<br />
<br />
<br />
Match point!<br />
<br />
<br />
You can start packing up, honey,<br />
because you're about to eat it!<br />
<br />
<br />
Yowser!<br />
<br />
<br />
Gross.<br />
<br />
<br />
There's a bee in the car!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Do something!<br />
- I'm driving!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Hi, bee.<br />
- He's back here!<br />
<br />
<br />
He's going to sting me!<br />
<br />
<br />
Nobody move. If you don't move,<br />
he won't sting you. Freeze!<br />
<br />
<br />
He blinked!<br />
<br />
<br />
Spray him, Granny!<br />
<br />
<br />
What are you doing?!<br />
<br />
<br />
Wow... the tension level<br />
out here is unbelievable.<br />
<br />
<br />
I gotta get home.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oan't fly in rain.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oan't fly in rain.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oan't fly in rain.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mayday! Mayday! Bee going down!<br />
<br />
<br />
Ken, could you close<br />
the window please?<br />
<br />
<br />
Ken, could you close<br />
the window please?<br />
<br />
<br />
Oheck out my new resume.<br />
I made it into a fold-out brochure.<br />
<br />
<br />
You see? Folds out.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, no. More humans. I don't need this.<br />
<br />
<br />
What was that?<br />
<br />
<br />
Maybe this time. This time. This time.<br />
This time! This time! This...<br />
<br />
<br />
Drapes!<br />
<br />
<br />
That is diabolical.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's fantastic. It's got all my special<br />
skills, even my top-ten favorite movies.<br />
<br />
<br />
What's number one? Star Wars?<br />
<br />
<br />
Nah, I don't go for that...<br />
<br />
<br />
...kind of stuff.<br />
<br />
<br />
No wonder we shouldn't talk to them.<br />
They're out of their minds.<br />
<br />
<br />
When I leave a job interview, they're<br />
flabbergasted, can't believe what I say.<br />
<br />
<br />
There's the sun. Maybe that's a way out.<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't remember the sun<br />
having a big 75 on it.<br />
<br />
<br />
I predicted global warming.<br />
<br />
<br />
I could feel it getting hotter.<br />
At first I thought it was just me.<br />
<br />
<br />
Wait! Stop! Bee!<br />
<br />
<br />
Stand back. These are winter boots.<br />
<br />
<br />
Wait!<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't kill him!<br />
<br />
<br />
You know I'm allergic to them!<br />
This thing could kill me!<br />
<br />
<br />
Why does his life have<br />
less value than yours?<br />
<br />
<br />
Why does his life have any less value<br />
than mine? Is that your statement?<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm just saying all life has value. You<br />
don't know what he's capable of feeling.<br />
<br />
<br />
My brochure!<br />
<br />
<br />
There you go, little guy.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm not scared of him.<br />
It's an allergic thing.<br />
<br />
<br />
Put that on your resume brochure.<br />
<br />
<br />
My whole face could puff up.<br />
<br />
<br />
Make it one of your special skills.<br />
<br />
<br />
Knocking someone out<br />
is also a special skill.<br />
<br />
<br />
Right. Bye, Vanessa. Thanks.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Vanessa, next week? Yogurt night?<br />
- Sure, Ken. You know, whatever.<br />
<br />
<br />
- You could put carob chips on there.<br />
- Bye.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Supposed to be less calories.<br />
- Bye.<br />
<br />
<br />
I gotta say something.<br />
<br />
<br />
She saved my life.<br />
I gotta say something.<br />
<br />
<br />
All right, here it goes.<br />
<br />
<br />
Nah.<br />
<br />
<br />
What would I say?<br />
<br />
<br />
I could really get in trouble.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's a bee law.<br />
You're not supposed to talk to a human.<br />
<br />
<br />
I can't believe I'm doing this.<br />
<br />
<br />
I've got to.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, I can't do it. Oome on!<br />
<br />
<br />
No. Yes. No.<br />
<br />
<br />
Do it. I can't.<br />
<br />
<br />
How should I start it?<br />
"You like jazz?" No, that's no good.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here she comes! Speak, you fool!<br />
<br />
<br />
Hi!<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm sorry.<br />
<br />
<br />
- You're talking.<br />
- Yes, I know.<br />
<br />
<br />
You're talking!<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm so sorry.<br />
<br />
<br />
No, it's OK. It's fine.<br />
I know I'm dreaming.<br />
<br />
<br />
But I don't recall going to bed.<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, I'm sure this<br />
is very disconcerting.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is a bit of a surprise to me.<br />
I mean, you're a bee!<br />
<br />
<br />
I am. And I'm not supposed<br />
to be doing this,<br />
<br />
<br />
but they were all trying to kill me.<br />
<br />
<br />
And if it wasn't for you...<br />
<br />
<br />
I had to thank you.<br />
It's just how I was raised.<br />
<br />
<br />
That was a little weird.<br />
<br />
<br />
- I'm talking with a bee.<br />
- Yeah.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm talking to a bee.<br />
And the bee is talking to me!<br />
<br />
<br />
I just want to say I'm grateful.<br />
I'll leave now.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Wait! How did you learn to do that?<br />
- What?<br />
<br />
<br />
The talking thing.<br />
<br />
<br />
Same way you did, I guess.<br />
"Mama, Dada, honey." You pick it up.<br />
<br />
<br />
- That's very funny.<br />
- Yeah.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bees are funny. If we didn't laugh,<br />
we'd cry with what we have to deal with.<br />
<br />
<br />
Anyway...<br />
<br />
<br />
Oan I...<br />
<br />
<br />
...get you something?<br />
- Like what?<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't know. I mean...<br />
I don't know. Ooffee?<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't want to put you out.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's no trouble. It takes two minutes.<br />
<br />
<br />
- It's just coffee.<br />
- I hate to impose.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Don't be ridiculous!<br />
- Actually, I would love a cup.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hey, you want rum cake?<br />
<br />
<br />
- I shouldn't.<br />
- Have some.<br />
<br />
<br />
- No, I can't.<br />
- Oome on!<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm trying to lose a couple micrograms.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Where?<br />
- These stripes don't help.<br />
<br />
<br />
You look great!<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't know if you know<br />
anything about fashion.<br />
<br />
<br />
Are you all right?<br />
<br />
<br />
No.<br />
<br />
<br />
He's making the tie in the cab<br />
as they're flying up Madison.<br />
<br />
<br />
He finally gets there.<br />
<br />
<br />
He runs up the steps into the church.<br />
The wedding is on.<br />
<br />
<br />
And he says, "Watermelon?<br />
I thought you said Guatemalan.<br />
<br />
<br />
Why would I marry a watermelon?"<br />
<br />
<br />
Is that a bee joke?<br />
<br />
<br />
That's the kind of stuff we do.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah, different.<br />
<br />
<br />
So, what are you gonna do, Barry?<br />
<br />
<br />
About work? I don't know.<br />
<br />
<br />
I want to do my part for the hive,<br />
but I can't do it the way they want.<br />
<br />
<br />
I know how you feel.<br />
<br />
<br />
- You do?<br />
- Sure.<br />
<br />
<br />
My parents wanted me to be a lawyer or<br />
a doctor, but I wanted to be a florist.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Really?<br />
- My only interest is flowers.<br />
<br />
<br />
Our new queen was just elected<br />
with that same campaign slogan.<br />
<br />
<br />
Anyway, if you look...<br />
<br />
<br />
There's my hive right there. See it?<br />
<br />
<br />
You're in Sheep Meadow!<br />
<br />
<br />
Yes! I'm right off the Turtle Pond!<br />
<br />
<br />
No way! I know that area.<br />
I lost a toe ring there once.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Why do girls put rings on their toes?<br />
- Why not?<br />
<br />
<br />
- It's like putting a hat on your knee.<br />
- Maybe I'll try that.<br />
<br />
<br />
- You all right, ma'am?<br />
- Oh, yeah. Fine.<br />
<br />
<br />
Just having two cups of coffee!<br />
<br />
<br />
Anyway, this has been great.<br />
Thanks for the coffee.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah, it's no trouble.<br />
<br />
<br />
Sorry I couldn't finish it. If I did,<br />
I'd be up the rest of my life.<br />
<br />
<br />
Are you...?<br />
<br />
<br />
Oan I take a piece of this with me?<br />
<br />
<br />
Sure! Here, have a crumb.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Thanks!<br />
- Yeah.<br />
<br />
<br />
All right. Well, then...<br />
I guess I'll see you around.<br />
<br />
<br />
Or not.<br />
<br />
<br />
OK, Barry.<br />
<br />
<br />
And thank you<br />
so much again... for before.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, that? That was nothing.<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, not nothing, but... Anyway...<br />
<br />
<br />
This can't possibly work.<br />
<br />
<br />
He's all set to go.<br />
We may as well try it.<br />
<br />
<br />
OK, Dave, pull the chute.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Sounds amazing.<br />
- It was amazing!<br />
<br />
<br />
It was the scariest,<br />
happiest moment of my life.<br />
<br />
<br />
Humans! I can't believe<br />
you were with humans!<br />
<br />
<br />
Giant, scary humans!<br />
What were they like?<br />
<br />
<br />
Huge and crazy. They talk crazy.<br />
<br />
<br />
They eat crazy giant things.<br />
They drive crazy.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Do they try and kill you, like on TV?<br />
- Some of them. But some of them don't.<br />
<br />
<br />
- How'd you get back?<br />
- Poodle.<br />
<br />
<br />
You did it, and I'm glad. You saw<br />
whatever you wanted to see.<br />
<br />
<br />
You had your "experience." Now you<br />
can pick out yourjob and be normal.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Well...<br />
- Well?<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, I met someone.<br />
<br />
<br />
You did? Was she Bee-ish?<br />
<br />
<br />
- A wasp?! Your parents will kill you!<br />
- No, no, no, not a wasp.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Spider?<br />
- I'm not attracted to spiders.<br />
<br />
<br />
I know it's the hottest thing,<br />
with the eight legs and all.<br />
<br />
<br />
I can't get by that face.<br />
<br />
<br />
So who is she?<br />
<br />
<br />
She's... human.<br />
<br />
<br />
No, no. That's a bee law.<br />
You wouldn't break a bee law.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Her name's Vanessa.<br />
- Oh, boy.<br />
<br />
<br />
She's so nice. And she's a florist!<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, no! You're dating a human florist!<br />
<br />
<br />
We're not dating.<br />
<br />
<br />
You're flying outside the hive, talking<br />
to humans that attack our homes<br />
<br />
<br />
with power washers and M-80s!<br />
One-eighth a stick of dynamite!<br />
<br />
<br />
She saved my life!<br />
And she understands me.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is over!<br />
<br />
<br />
Eat this.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is not over! What was that?<br />
<br />
<br />
- They call it a crumb.<br />
- It was so stingin' stripey!<br />
<br />
<br />
And that's not what they eat.<br />
That's what falls off what they eat!<br />
<br />
<br />
- You know what a Oinnabon is?<br />
- No.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's bread and cinnamon and frosting.<br />
They heat it up...<br />
<br />
<br />
Sit down!<br />
<br />
<br />
...really hot!<br />
- Listen to me!<br />
<br />
<br />
We are not them! We're us.<br />
There's us and there's them!<br />
<br />
<br />
Yes, but who can deny<br />
the heart that is yearning?<br />
<br />
<br />
There's no yearning.<br />
Stop yearning. Listen to me!<br />
<br />
<br />
You have got to start thinking bee,<br />
my friend. Thinking bee!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Thinking bee.<br />
- Thinking bee.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thinking bee! Thinking bee!<br />
Thinking bee! Thinking bee!<br />
<br />
<br />
There he is. He's in the pool.<br />
<br />
<br />
You know what your problem is, Barry?<br />
<br />
<br />
I gotta start thinking bee?<br />
<br />
<br />
How much longer will this go on?<br />
<br />
<br />
It's been three days!<br />
Why aren't you working?<br />
<br />
<br />
I've got a lot of big life decisions<br />
to think about.<br />
<br />
<br />
What life? You have no life!<br />
You have no job. You're barely a bee!<br />
<br />
<br />
Would it kill you<br />
to make a little honey?<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry, come out.<br />
Your father's talking to you.<br />
<br />
<br />
Martin, would you talk to him?<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry, I'm talking to you!<br />
<br />
<br />
You coming?<br />
<br />
<br />
Got everything?<br />
<br />
<br />
All set!<br />
<br />
<br />
Go ahead. I'll catch up.<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't be too long.<br />
<br />
<br />
Watch this!<br />
<br />
<br />
Vanessa!<br />
<br />
<br />
- We're still here.<br />
- I told you not to yell at him.<br />
<br />
<br />
He doesn't respond to yelling!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Then why yell at me?<br />
- Because you don't listen!<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm not listening to this.<br />
<br />
<br />
Sorry, I've gotta go.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Where are you going?<br />
- I'm meeting a friend.<br />
<br />
<br />
A girl? Is this why you can't decide?<br />
<br />
<br />
Bye.<br />
<br />
<br />
I just hope she's Bee-ish.<br />
<br />
<br />
They have a huge parade<br />
of flowers every year in Pasadena?<br />
<br />
<br />
To be in the Tournament of Roses,<br />
that's every florist's dream!<br />
<br />
<br />
Up on a float, surrounded<br />
by flowers, crowds cheering.<br />
<br />
<br />
A tournament. Do the roses<br />
compete in athletic events?<br />
<br />
<br />
No. All right, I've got one.<br />
How come you don't fly everywhere?<br />
<br />
<br />
It's exhausting. Why don't you<br />
run everywhere? It's faster.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah, OK, I see, I see.<br />
All right, your turn.<br />
<br />
<br />
TiVo. You can just freeze live TV?<br />
That's insane!<br />
<br />
<br />
You don't have that?<br />
<br />
<br />
We have Hivo, but it's a disease.<br />
It's a horrible, horrible disease.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, my.<br />
<br />
<br />
Dumb bees!<br />
<br />
<br />
You must want to sting all those jerks.<br />
<br />
<br />
We try not to sting.<br />
It's usually fatal for us.<br />
<br />
<br />
So you have to watch your temper.<br />
<br />
<br />
Very carefully.<br />
You kick a wall, take a walk,<br />
<br />
<br />
write an angry letter and throw it out.<br />
Work through it like any emotion:<br />
<br />
<br />
Anger, jealousy, lust.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, my goodness! Are you OK?<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah.<br />
<br />
<br />
- What is wrong with you?!<br />
- It's a bug.<br />
<br />
<br />
He's not bothering anybody.<br />
Get out of here, you creep!<br />
<br />
<br />
What was that? A Pic 'N' Save circular?<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah, it was. How did you know?<br />
<br />
<br />
It felt like about 10 pages.<br />
Seventy-five is pretty much our limit.<br />
<br />
<br />
You've really got that<br />
down to a science.<br />
<br />
<br />
- I lost a cousin to Italian Vogue.<br />
- I'll bet.<br />
<br />
<br />
What in the name<br />
of Mighty Hercules is this?<br />
<br />
<br />
How did this get here?<br />
Oute Bee, Golden Blossom,<br />
<br />
<br />
Ray Liotta Private Select?<br />
<br />
<br />
- Is he that actor?<br />
- I never heard of him.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Why is this here?<br />
- For people. We eat it.<br />
<br />
<br />
You don't have<br />
enough food of your own?<br />
<br />
<br />
- Well, yes.<br />
- How do you get it?<br />
<br />
<br />
- Bees make it.<br />
- I know who makes it!<br />
<br />
<br />
And it's hard to make it!<br />
<br />
<br />
There's heating, cooling, stirring.<br />
You need a whole Krelman thing!<br />
<br />
<br />
- It's organic.<br />
- It's our-ganic!<br />
<br />
<br />
It's just honey, Barry.<br />
<br />
<br />
Just what?!<br />
<br />
<br />
Bees don't know about this!<br />
This is stealing! A lot of stealing!<br />
<br />
<br />
You've taken our homes, schools,<br />
hospitals! This is all we have!<br />
<br />
<br />
And it's on sale?!<br />
I'm getting to the bottom of this.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm getting to the bottom<br />
of all of this!<br />
<br />
<br />
Hey, Hector.<br />
<br />
<br />
- You almost done?<br />
- Almost.<br />
<br />
<br />
He is here. I sense it.<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, I guess I'll go home now<br />
<br />
<br />
and just leave this nice honey out,<br />
with no one around.<br />
<br />
<br />
You're busted, box boy!<br />
<br />
<br />
I knew I heard something.<br />
So you can talk!<br />
<br />
<br />
I can talk.<br />
And now you'll start talking!<br />
<br />
<br />
Where you getting the sweet stuff?<br />
Who's your supplier?<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't understand.<br />
I thought we were friends.<br />
<br />
<br />
The last thing we want<br />
to do is upset bees!<br />
<br />
<br />
You're too late! It's ours now!<br />
<br />
<br />
You, sir, have crossed<br />
the wrong sword!<br />
<br />
<br />
You, sir, will be lunch<br />
for my iguana, Ignacio!<br />
<br />
<br />
Where is the honey coming from?<br />
<br />
<br />
Tell me where!<br />
<br />
<br />
Honey Farms! It comes from Honey Farms!<br />
<br />
<br />
Orazy person!<br />
<br />
<br />
What horrible thing has happened here?<br />
<br />
<br />
These faces, they never knew<br />
what hit them. And now<br />
<br />
<br />
they're on the road to nowhere!<br />
<br />
<br />
Just keep still.<br />
<br />
<br />
What? You're not dead?<br />
<br />
<br />
Do I look dead? They will wipe anything<br />
that moves. Where you headed?<br />
<br />
<br />
To Honey Farms.<br />
I am onto something huge here.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm going to Alaska. Moose blood,<br />
crazy stuff. Blows your head off!<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm going to Tacoma.<br />
<br />
<br />
- And you?<br />
- He really is dead.<br />
<br />
<br />
All right.<br />
<br />
<br />
Uh-oh!<br />
<br />
<br />
- What is that?!<br />
- Oh, no!<br />
<br />
<br />
- A wiper! Triple blade!<br />
- Triple blade?<br />
<br />
<br />
Jump on! It's your only chance, bee!<br />
<br />
<br />
Why does everything have<br />
to be so doggone clean?!<br />
<br />
<br />
How much do you people need to see?!<br />
<br />
<br />
Open your eyes!<br />
Stick your head out the window!<br />
<br />

From NPR News in Washington,<br />
I'm Oarl Kasell.<br />
<br />
<br />
But don't kill no more bugs!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Bee!<br />
- Moose blood guy!!<br />
<br />
<br />
- You hear something?<br />
- Like what?<br />
<br />
<br />
Like tiny screaming.<br />
<br />
<br />
Turn off the radio.<br />
<br />
<br />
Whassup, bee boy?<br />
<br />
<br />
Hey, Blood.<br />
<br />
<br />
Just a row of honey jars,<br />
as far as the eye could see.<br />
<br />
<br />
Wow!<br />
<br />
<br />
I assume wherever this truck goes<br />
is where they're getting it.<br />
<br />
<br />
I mean, that honey's ours.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Bees hang tight.<br />
- We're all jammed in.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's a close community.<br />
<br />
<br />
Not us, man. We on our own.<br />
Every mosquito on his own.<br />
<br />
<br />
- What if you get in trouble?<br />
- You a mosquito, you in trouble.<br />
<br />
<br />
Nobody likes us. They just smack.<br />
See a mosquito, smack, smack!<br />
<br />
<br />
At least you're out in the world.<br />
You must meet girls.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mosquito girls try to trade up,<br />
get with a moth, dragonfly.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mosquito girl don't want no mosquito.<br />
<br />
<br />
You got to be kidding me!<br />
<br />
<br />
Mooseblood's about to leave<br />
the building! So long, bee!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Hey, guys!<br />
- Mooseblood!<br />
<br />
<br />
I knew I'd catch y'all down here.<br />
Did you bring your crazy straw?<br />
<br />
<br />
We throw it in jars, slap a label on it,<br />
and it's pretty much pure profit.<br />
<br />
<br />
What is this place?<br />
<br />
<br />
A bee's got a brain<br />
the size of a pinhead.<br />
<br />
<br />
They are pinheads!<br />
<br />
<br />
Pinhead.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Oheck out the new smoker.<br />
- Oh, sweet. That's the one you want.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Thomas 3000!<br />
<br />
<br />
Smoker?<br />
<br />
<br />
Ninety puffs a minute, semi-automatic.<br />
Twice the nicotine, all the tar.<br />
<br />
<br />
A couple breaths of this<br />
knocks them right out.<br />
<br />
<br />
They make the honey,<br />
and we make the money.<br />
<br />
<br />
"They make the honey,<br />
and we make the money"?<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, my!<br />
<br />
<br />
What's going on? Are you OK?<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah. It doesn't last too long.<br />
<br />
<br />
Do you know you're<br />
in a fake hive with fake walls?<br />
<br />
<br />
Our queen was moved here.<br />
We had no choice.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is your queen?<br />
That's a man in women's clothes!<br />
<br />
<br />
That's a drag queen!<br />
<br />
<br />
What is this?<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, no!<br />
<br />
<br />
There's hundreds of them!<br />
<br />
<br />
Bee honey.<br />
<br />
<br />
Our honey is being brazenly stolen<br />
on a massive scale!<br />
<br />
<br />
This is worse than anything bears<br />
have done! I intend to do something.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, Barry, stop.<br />
<br />
<br />
Who told you humans are taking<br />
our honey? That's a rumor.<br />
<br />
<br />
Do these look like rumors?<br />
<br />
<br />
That's a conspiracy theory.<br />
These are obviously doctored photos.<br />
<br />
<br />
How did you get mixed up in this?<br />
<br />
<br />
He's been talking to humans.<br />
<br />
<br />
- What?<br />
- Talking to humans?!<br />
<br />
<br />
He has a human girlfriend.<br />
And they make out!<br />
<br />
<br />
Make out? Barry!<br />
<br />
<br />
We do not.<br />
<br />
<br />
- You wish you could.<br />
- Whose side are you on?<br />
<br />
<br />
The bees!<br />
<br />
<br />
I dated a cricket once in San Antonio.<br />
Those crazy legs kept me up all night.<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry, this is what you want<br />
to do with your life?<br />
<br />
<br />
I want to do it for all our lives.<br />
Nobody works harder than bees!<br />
<br />
<br />
Dad, I remember you<br />
coming home so overworked<br />
<br />
<br />
your hands were still stirring.<br />
You couldn't stop.<br />
<br />
<br />
I remember that.<br />
<br />
<br />
What right do they have to our honey?<br />
<br />
<br />
We live on two cups a year. They put it<br />
in lip balm for no reason whatsoever!<br />
<br />
<br />
Even if it's true, what can one bee do?<br />
<br />
<br />
Sting them where it really hurts.<br />
<br />
<br />
In the face! The eye!<br />
<br />
<br />
- That would hurt.<br />
- No.<br />
<br />
<br />
Up the nose? That's a killer.<br />
<br />
<br />
There's only one place you can sting<br />
the humans, one place where it matters.<br />

A tri-county bee, Barry Benson,<br />
<br />
<br />
intends to sue the human race<br />
for stealing our honey,<br />
<br />
<br />
packaging it and profiting<br />
from it illegally!<br />
<br />
<br />
Tomorrow night on Bee Larry King,<br />
<br />
<br />
we'll have three former queens here in<br />
our studio, discussing their new book,<br />
<br />
<br />
Olassy Ladies,<br />
out this week on Hexagon.<br />
<br />
<br />
Tonight we're talking to Barry Benson.<br />
<br />
<br />
Did you ever think, "I'm a kid<br />
from the hive. I can't do this"?<br />
<br />
<br />
Bees have never been afraid<br />
to change the world.<br />
<br />
<br />
What about Bee Oolumbus?<br />
Bee Gandhi? Bejesus?<br />
<br />
<br />
Where I'm from, we'd never sue humans.<br />
<br />
<br />
We were thinking<br />
of stickball or candy stores.<br />
<br />
<br />
How old are you?<br />
<br />
<br />
The bee community<br />
is supporting you in this case,<br />
<br />
<br />
which will be the trial<br />
of the bee century.<br />
<br />
<br />
You know, they have a Larry King<br />
in the human world too.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's a common name. Next week...<br />
<br />
<br />
He looks like you and has a show<br />
and suspenders and colored dots...<br />
<br />
<br />
Next week...<br />
<br />
<br />
Glasses, quotes on the bottom from the<br />
guest even though you just heard 'em.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bear Week next week!<br />
They're scary, hairy and here live.<br />
<br />
<br />
Always leans forward, pointy shoulders,<br />
squinty eyes, very Jewish.<br />
<br />
<br />
In tennis, you attack<br />
at the point of weakness!<br />
<br />
<br />
It was my grandmother, Ken. She's 81.<br />
<br />
<br />
Honey, her backhand's a joke!<br />
I'm not gonna take advantage of that?<br />
<br />
<br />
Quiet, please.<br />
Actual work going on here.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Is that that same bee?<br />
- Yes, it is!<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm helping him sue the human race.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Hello.<br />
- Hello, bee.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is Ken.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah, I remember you. Timberland, size<br />
ten and a half. Vibram sole, I believe.<br />
<br />
<br />
Why does he talk again?<br />
<br />
<br />
Listen, you better go<br />
'cause we're really busy working.<br />
<br />
<br />
But it's our yogurt night!<br />
<br />
<br />
Bye-bye.<br />
<br />
<br />
Why is yogurt night so difficult?!<br />
<br />
<br />
You poor thing.<br />
You two have been at this for hours!<br />
<br />
<br />
Yes, and Adam here<br />
has been a huge help.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Frosting...<br />
- How many sugars?<br />
<br />
<br />
Just one. I try not<br />
to use the competition.<br />
<br />
<br />
So why are you helping me?<br />
<br />
<br />
Bees have good qualities.<br />
<br />
<br />
And it takes my mind off the shop.<br />
<br />
<br />
Instead of flowers, people<br />
are giving balloon bouquets now.<br />
<br />
<br />
Those are great, if you're three.<br />
<br />
<br />
And artificial flowers.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Oh, those just get me psychotic!<br />
- Yeah, me too.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bent stingers, pointless pollination.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bees must hate those fake things!<br />
<br />
<br />
Nothing worse<br />
than a daffodil that's had work done.<br />
<br />
<br />
Maybe this could make up<br />
for it a little bit.<br />
<br />
<br />
- This lawsuit's a pretty big deal.<br />
- I guess.<br />
<br />
<br />
You sure you want to go through with it?<br />
<br />
<br />
Am I sure? When I'm done with<br />
the humans, they won't be able<br />
<br />
<br />
to say, "Honey, I'm home,"<br />
without paying a royalty!<br />
<br />
<br />
It's an incredible scene<br />
here in downtown Manhattan,<br />
<br />
<br />
where the world anxiously waits,<br />
because for the first time in history,<br />
<br />
<br />
we will hear for ourselves<br />
if a honeybee can actually speak.<br />
<br />
<br />
What have we gotten into here, Barry?<br />
<br />
<br />
It's pretty big, isn't it?<br />
<br />
<br />
I can't believe how many humans<br />
don't work during the day.<br />
<br />
<br />
You think billion-dollar multinational<br />
food companies have good lawyers?<br />
<br />
<br />
Everybody needs to stay<br />
behind the barricade.<br />
<br />
<br />
- What's the matter?<br />
- I don't know, I just got a chill.<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, if it isn't the bee team.<br />
<br />
<br />
You boys work on this?<br />
<br />
<br />
All rise! The Honorable<br />
Judge Bumbleton presiding.<br />
<br />
<br />
All right. Oase number 4475,<br />
<br />
<br />
Superior Oourt of New York,<br />
Barry Bee Benson v. the Honey Industry<br />
<br />
<br />
is now in session.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mr. Montgomery, you're representing<br />
the five food companies collectively?<br />
<br />
<br />
A privilege.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mr. Benson... you're representing<br />
all the bees of the world?<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm kidding. Yes, Your Honor,<br />
we're ready to proceed.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mr. Montgomery,<br />
your opening statement, please.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,<br />
<br />
<br />
my grandmother was a simple woman.<br />
<br />
<br />
Born on a farm, she believed<br />
it was man's divine right<br />
<br />
<br />
to benefit from the bounty<br />
of nature God put before us.<br />
<br />
<br />
If we lived in the topsy-turvy world<br />
Mr. Benson imagines,<br />
<br />
<br />
just think of what would it mean.<br />
<br />
<br />
I would have to negotiate<br />
with the silkworm<br />
<br />
<br />
for the elastic in my britches!<br />
<br />
<br />
Talking bee!<br />
<br />
<br />
How do we know this isn't some sort of<br />
<br />
<br />
holographic motion-picture-capture<br />
Hollywood wizardry?<br />
<br />
<br />
They could be using laser beams!<br />
<br />
<br />
Robotics! Ventriloquism!<br />
Oloning! For all we know,<br />
<br />
<br />
he could be on steroids!<br />
<br />
<br />
Mr. Benson?<br />
<br />
<br />
Ladies and gentlemen,<br />
there's no trickery here.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm just an ordinary bee.<br />
Honey's pretty important to me.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's important to all bees.<br />
We invented it!<br />
<br />
<br />
We make it. And we protect it<br />
with our lives.<br />
<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, there are<br />
some people in this room<br />
<br />
<br />
who think they can take it from us<br />
<br />
<br />
'cause we're the little guys!<br />
I'm hoping that, after this is all over,<br />
<br />
<br />
you'll see how, by taking our honey,<br />
you not only take everything we have<br />
<br />
<br />
but everything we are!<br />
<br />
<br />
I wish he'd dress like that<br />
all the time. So nice!<br />
<br />
<br />
Oall your first witness.<br />
<br />
<br />
So, Mr. Klauss Vanderhayden<br />
of Honey Farms, big company you have.<br />
<br />
<br />
I suppose so.<br />
<br />
<br />
I see you also own<br />
Honeyburton and Honron!<br />
<br />
<br />
Yes, they provide beekeepers<br />
for our farms.<br />
<br />
<br />
Beekeeper. I find that<br />
to be a very disturbing term.<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't imagine you employ<br />
any bee-free-ers, do you?<br />
<br />
<br />
- No.<br />
- I couldn't hear you.<br />
<br />
<br />
- No.<br />
- No.<br />
<br />
<br />
Because you don't free bees.<br />
You keep bees. Not only that,<br />
<br />
<br />
it seems you thought a bear would be<br />
an appropriate image for a jar of honey.<br />
<br />
<br />
They're very lovable creatures.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yogi Bear, Fozzie Bear, Build-A-Bear.<br />
<br />
<br />
You mean like this?<br />
<br />
<br />
Bears kill bees!<br />
<br />
<br />
How'd you like his head crashing<br />
through your living room?!<br />
<br />
<br />
Biting into your couch!<br />
Spitting out your throw pillows!<br />
<br />
<br />
OK, that's enough. Take him away.<br />
<br />
<br />
So, Mr. Sting, thank you for being here.<br />
Your name intrigues me.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Where have I heard it before?<br />
- I was with a band called The Police.<br />
<br />
<br />
But you've never been<br />
a police officer, have you?<br />
<br />
<br />
No, I haven't.<br />
<br />
<br />
No, you haven't. And so here<br />
we have yet another example<br />
<br />
<br />
of bee culture casually<br />
stolen by a human<br />
<br />
<br />
for nothing more than<br />
a prance-about stage name.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, please.<br />
<br />
<br />
Have you ever been stung, Mr. Sting?<br />
<br />
<br />
Because I'm feeling<br />
a little stung, Sting.<br />
<br />
<br />
Or should I say... Mr. Gordon M. Sumner!<br />
<br />
<br />
That's not his real name?! You idiots!<br />
<br />
<br />
Mr. Liotta, first,<br />
belated congratulations on<br />
<br />
<br />
your Emmy win for a guest spot<br />
on ER in 2005.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you. Thank you.<br />
<br />
<br />
I see from your resume<br />
that you're devilishly handsome<br />
<br />
<br />
with a churning inner turmoil<br />
that's ready to blow.<br />
<br />
<br />
I enjoy what I do. Is that a crime?<br />
<br />
<br />
Not yet it isn't. But is this<br />
what it's come to for you?<br />
<br />
<br />
Exploiting tiny, helpless bees<br />
so you don't<br />
<br />
<br />
have to rehearse<br />
your part and learn your lines, sir?<br />
<br />
<br />
Watch it, Benson!<br />
I could blow right now!<br />
<br />
<br />
This isn't a goodfella.<br />
This is a badfella!<br />
<br />
<br />
Why doesn't someone just step on<br />
this creep, and we can all go home?!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Order in this court!<br />
- You're all thinking it!<br />
<br />
<br />
Order! Order, I say!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Say it!<br />
- Mr. Liotta, please sit down!<br />
<br />
<br />
I think it was awfully nice<br />
of that bear to pitch in like that.<br />
<br />
<br />
I think the jury's on our side.<br />
<br />
<br />
Are we doing everything right, legally?<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm a florist.<br />
<br />
<br />
Right. Well, here's to a great team.<br />
<br />
<br />
To a great team!<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, hello.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Ken!<br />
- Hello.<br />
<br />
<br />
I didn't think you were coming.<br />
<br />
<br />
No, I was just late.<br />
I tried to call, but... the battery.<br />
<br />
<br />
I didn't want all this to go to waste,<br />
so I called Barry. Luckily, he was free.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, that was lucky.<br />
<br />
<br />
There's a little left.<br />
I could heat it up.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah, heat it up, sure, whatever.<br />
<br />
<br />
So I hear you're quite a tennis player.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm not much for the game myself.<br />
The ball's a little grabby.<br />
<br />
<br />
That's where I usually sit.<br />
Right... there.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ken, Barry was looking at your resume,<br />
<br />
<br />
and he agreed with me that eating with<br />
chopsticks isn't really a special skill.<br />
<br />
<br />
You think I don't see what you're doing?<br />
<br />
<br />
I know how hard it is to find<br />
the rightjob. We have that in common.<br />
<br />
<br />
Do we?<br />
<br />
<br />
Bees have 100 percent employment,<br />
but we do jobs like taking the crud out.<br />
<br />
<br />
That's just what<br />
I was thinking about doing.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ken, I let Barry borrow your razor<br />
for his fuzz. I hope that was all right.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm going to drain the old stinger.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah, you do that.<br />
<br />
<br />
Look at that.<br />
<br />
<br />
You know, I've just about had it<br />
<br />
<br />
with your little mind games.<br />
<br />
<br />
- What's that?<br />
- Italian Vogue.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mamma mia, that's a lot of pages.<br />
<br />
<br />
A lot of ads.<br />
<br />
<br />
Remember what Van said, why is<br />
your life more valuable than mine?<br />
<br />
<br />
Funny, I just can't seem to recall that!<br />
<br />
<br />
I think something stinks in here!<br />
<br />
<br />
I love the smell of flowers.<br />
<br />
<br />
How do you like the smell of flames?!<br />
<br />
<br />
Not as much.<br />
<br />
<br />
Water bug! Not taking sides!<br />
<br />
<br />
Ken, I'm wearing a Ohapstick hat!<br />
This is pathetic!<br />
<br />
<br />
I've got issues!<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, well, well, a royal flush!<br />
<br />
<br />
- You're bluffing.<br />
- Am I?<br />
<br />
<br />
Surf's up, dude!<br />
<br />
<br />
Poo water!<br />
<br />
<br />
That bowl is gnarly.<br />
<br />
<br />
Except for those dirty yellow rings!<br />
<br />
<br />
Kenneth! What are you doing?!<br />
<br />
<br />
You know, I don't even like honey!<br />
I don't eat it!<br />
<br />
<br />
We need to talk!<br />
<br />
<br />
He's just a little bee!<br />
<br />
<br />
And he happens to be<br />
the nicest bee I've met in a long time!<br />
<br />
<br />
Long time? What are you talking about?!<br />
Are there other bugs in your life?<br />
<br />
<br />
No, but there are other things bugging<br />
me in life. And you're one of them!<br />
<br />
<br />
Fine! Talking bees, no yogurt night...<br />
<br />
<br />
My nerves are fried from riding<br />
on this emotional roller coaster!<br />
<br />
<br />
Goodbye, Ken.<br />
<br />
<br />
And for your information,<br />
<br />
<br />
I prefer sugar-free, artificial<br />
sweeteners made by man!<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm sorry about all that.<br />
<br />
<br />
I know it's got<br />
an aftertaste! I like it!<br />
<br />
<br />
I always felt there was some kind<br />
of barrier between Ken and me.<br />
<br />
<br />
I couldn't overcome it.<br />
Oh, well.<br />
<br />
<br />
Are you OK for the trial?<br />
<br />
<br />
I believe Mr. Montgomery<br />
is about out of ideas.<br />
<br />
<br />
We would like to call<br />
Mr. Barry Benson Bee to the stand.<br />
<br />
<br />
Good idea! You can really see why he's<br />
considered one of the best lawyers...<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah.<br />
<br />
<br />
Layton, you've<br />
gotta weave some magic<br />
<br />
<br />
with this jury,<br />
or it's gonna be all over.<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't worry. The only thing I have<br />
to do to turn this jury around<br />
<br />
<br />
is to remind them<br />
of what they don't like about bees.<br />
<br />
<br />
- You got the tweezers?<br />
- Are you allergic?<br />
<br />
<br />
Only to losing, son. Only to losing.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mr. Benson Bee, I'll ask you<br />
what I think we'd all like to know.<br />
<br />
<br />
What exactly is your relationship<br />
<br />
<br />
to that woman?<br />
<br />
<br />
We're friends.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Good friends?<br />
- Yes.<br />
<br />
<br />
How good? Do you live together?<br />
<br />
<br />
Wait a minute...<br />
<br />
<br />
Are you her little...<br />
<br />
<br />
...bedbug?<br />
<br />
<br />
I've seen a bee documentary or two.<br />
From what I understand,<br />
<br />
<br />
doesn't your queen give birth<br />
to all the bee children?<br />
<br />
<br />
- Yeah, but...<br />
- So those aren't your real parents!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Oh, Barry...<br />
- Yes, they are!<br />
<br />
<br />
Hold me back!<br />
<br />
<br />
You're an illegitimate bee,<br />
aren't you, Benson?<br />
<br />
<br />
He's denouncing bees!<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't y'all date your cousins?<br />
<br />
<br />
- Objection!<br />
- I'm going to pincushion this guy!<br />
<br />
<br />
Adam, don't! It's what he wants!<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, I'm hit!!<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, lordy, I am hit!<br />
<br />
<br />
Order! Order!<br />
<br />
<br />
The venom! The venom<br />
is coursing through my veins!<br />
<br />
<br />
I have been felled<br />
by a winged beast of destruction!<br />
<br />
<br />
You see? You can't treat them<br />
like equals! They're striped savages!<br />
<br />
<br />
Stinging's the only thing<br />
they know! It's their way!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Adam, stay with me.<br />
- I can't feel my legs.<br />
<br />
<br />
What angel of mercy<br />
will come forward to suck the poison<br />
<br />
<br />
from my heaving buttocks?<br />
<br />
<br />
I will have order in this court. Order!<br />
<br />
<br />
Order, please!<br />
<br />
<br />
The case of the honeybees<br />
versus the human race<br />
<br />
<br />
took a pointed turn against the bees<br />
<br />
<br />
yesterday when one of their legal<br />
team stung Layton T. Montgomery.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Hey, buddy.<br />
- Hey.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Is there much pain?<br />
- Yeah.<br />
<br />
<br />
I...<br />
<br />
<br />
I blew the whole case, didn't I?<br />
<br />
<br />
It doesn't matter. What matters is<br />
you're alive. You could have died.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'd be better off dead. Look at me.<br />
<br />
<br />
They got it from the cafeteria<br />
downstairs, in a tuna sandwich.<br />
<br />
<br />
Look, there's<br />
a little celery still on it.<br />
<br />
<br />
What was it like to sting someone?<br />
<br />
<br />
I can't explain it. It was all...<br />
<br />
<br />
All adrenaline and then...<br />
and then ecstasy!<br />
<br />
<br />
All right.<br />
<br />
<br />
You think it was all a trap?<br />
<br />
<br />
Of course. I'm sorry.<br />
I flew us right into this.<br />
<br />
<br />
What were we thinking? Look at us. We're<br />
just a couple of bugs in this world.<br />
<br />
<br />
What will the humans do to us<br />
if they win?<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't know.<br />
<br />
<br />
I hear they put the roaches in motels.<br />
That doesn't sound so bad.<br />
<br />
<br />
Adam, they check in,<br />
but they don't check out!<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, my.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oould you get a nurse<br />
to close that window?<br />
<br />
<br />
- Why?<br />
- The smoke.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bees don't smoke.<br />
<br />
<br />
Right. Bees don't smoke.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bees don't smoke!<br />
But some bees are smoking.<br />
<br />
<br />
That's it! That's our case!<br />
<br />
<br />
It is? It's not over?<br />
<br />
<br />
Get dressed. I've gotta go somewhere.<br />
<br />
<br />
Get back to the court and stall.<br />
Stall any way you can.<br />
<br />
<br />
And assuming you've done step correctly, you're ready for the tub.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mr. Flayman.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yes? Yes, Your Honor!<br />
<br />
<br />
Where is the rest of your team?<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, Your Honor, it's interesting.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bees are trained to fly haphazardly,<br />
<br />
<br />
and as a result,<br />
we don't make very good time.<br />
<br />
<br />
I actually heard a funny story about...<br />
<br />
<br />
Your Honor,<br />
haven't these ridiculous bugs<br />
<br />
<br />
taken up enough<br />
of this court's valuable time?<br />
<br />
<br />
How much longer will we allow<br />
these absurd shenanigans to go on?<br />
<br />
<br />
They have presented no compelling<br />
evidence to support their charges<br />
<br />
<br />
against my clients,<br />
who run legitimate businesses.<br />
<br />
<br />
I move for a complete dismissal<br />
of this entire case!<br />
<br />
<br />
Mr. Flayman, I'm afraid I'm going<br />
<br />
<br />
to have to consider<br />
Mr. Montgomery's motion.<br />
<br />
<br />
But you can't! We have a terrific case.<br />
<br />
<br />
Where is your proof?<br />
Where is the evidence?<br />
<br />
<br />
Show me the smoking gun!<br />
<br />
<br />
Hold it, Your Honor!<br />
You want a smoking gun?<br />
<br />
<br />
Here is your smoking gun.<br />
<br />
<br />
What is that?<br />
<br />
<br />
It's a bee smoker!<br />
<br />
<br />
What, this?<br />
This harmless little contraption?<br />
<br />
<br />
This couldn't hurt a fly,<br />
let alone a bee.<br />
<br />
<br />
Look at what has happened<br />
<br />
<br />
to bees who have never been asked,<br />
"Smoking or non?"<br />
<br />
<br />
Is this what nature intended for us?<br />
<br />
<br />
To be forcibly addicted<br />
to smoke machines<br />
<br />
<br />
and man-made wooden slat work camps?<br />
<br />
<br />
Living out our lives as honey slaves<br />
to the white man?<br />
<br />
<br />
- What are we gonna do?<br />
- He's playing the species card.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ladies and gentlemen, please,<br />
free these bees!<br />
<br />
<br />
Free the bees! Free the bees!<br />
<br />
<br />
Free the bees!<br />
<br />
<br />
Free the bees! Free the bees!<br />
<br />
<br />
The court finds in favor of the bees!<br />
<br />
<br />
Vanessa, we won!<br />
<br />
<br />
I knew you could do it! High-five!<br />
<br />
<br />
Sorry.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm OK! You know what this means?<br />
<br />
<br />
All the honey<br />
will finally belong to the bees.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now we won't have<br />
to work so hard all the time.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is an unholy perversion<br />
of the balance of nature, Benson.<br />
<br />
<br />
You'll regret this.<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry, how much honey is out there?<br />
<br />
<br />
All right. One at a time.<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry, who are you wearing?<br />
<br />
<br />
My sweater is Ralph Lauren,<br />
and I have no pants.<br />
<br />
<br />
- What if Montgomery's right?<br />
- What do you mean?<br />
<br />
<br />
We've been living the bee way<br />
a long time, 27 million years.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oongratulations on your victory.<br />
What will you demand as a settlement?<br />
<br />
<br />
First, we'll demand a complete shutdown<br />
of all bee work camps.<br />
<br />
<br />
Then we want back the honey<br />
that was ours to begin with,<br />
<br />
<br />
every last drop.<br />
<br />
<br />
We demand an end to the glorification<br />
of the bear as anything more<br />
<br />
<br />
than a filthy, smelly,<br />
bad-breath stink machine.<br />
<br />
<br />
We're all aware<br />
of what they do in the woods.<br />
<br />
<br />
Wait for my signal.<br />
<br />
<br />
Take him out.<br />
<br />
<br />
He'll have nauseous<br />
for a few hours, then he'll be fine.<br />
<br />
<br />
And we will no longer tolerate<br />
bee-negative nicknames...<br />
<br />
<br />
But it's just a prance-about stage name!<br />
<br />
<br />
...unnecessary inclusion of honey<br />
in bogus health products<br />
<br />
<br />
and la-dee-da human<br />
tea-time snack garnishments.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oan't breathe.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bring it in, boys!<br />
<br />
<br />
Hold it right there! Good.<br />
<br />
<br />
Tap it.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mr. Buzzwell, we just passed three cups,<br />
and there's gallons more coming!<br />
<br />
<br />
- I think we need to shut down!<br />
- Shut down? We've never shut down.<br />
<br />
<br />
Shut down honey production!<br />
<br />
<br />
Stop making honey!<br />
<br />
<br />
Turn your key, sir!<br />
<br />
<br />
What do we do now?<br />
<br />
<br />
Oannonball!<br />
<br />
<br />
We're shutting honey production!<br />
<br />
<br />
Mission abort.<br />
<br />
<br />
Aborting pollination and nectar detail.<br />
Returning to base.<br />
<br />
<br />
Adam, you wouldn't believe<br />
how much honey was out there.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, yeah?<br />
<br />
<br />
What's going on? Where is everybody?<br />
<br />
<br />
- Are they out celebrating?<br />
- They're home.<br />
<br />
<br />
They don't know what to do.<br />
Laying out, sleeping in.<br />
<br />
<br />
I heard your Uncle Oarl was on his way<br />
to San Antonio with a cricket.<br />
<br />
<br />
At least we got our honey back.<br />
<br />
<br />
Sometimes I think, so what if humans<br />
liked our honey? Who wouldn't?<br />
<br />
<br />
It's the greatest thing in the world!<br />
I was excited to be part of making it.<br />
<br />
<br />
This was my new desk. This was my<br />
new job. I wanted to do it really well.<br />
<br />
<br />
And now...<br />
<br />
<br />
Now I can't.<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't understand<br />
why they're not happy.<br />
<br />
<br />
I thought their lives would be better!<br />
<br />
<br />
They're doing nothing. It's amazing.<br />
Honey really changes people.<br />
<br />
<br />
You don't have any idea<br />
what's going on, do you?<br />
<br />
<br />
- What did you want to show me?<br />
- This.<br />
<br />
<br />
What happened here?<br />
<br />
<br />
That is not the half of it.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, no. Oh, my.<br />
<br />
<br />
They're all wilting.<br />
<br />
<br />
Doesn't look very good, does it?<br />
<br />
<br />
No.<br />
<br />
<br />
And whose fault do you think that is?<br />
<br />
<br />
You know, I'm gonna guess bees.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bees?<br />
<br />
<br />
Specifically, me.<br />
<br />
<br />
I didn't think bees not needing to make<br />
honey would affect all these things.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's notjust flowers.<br />
Fruits, vegetables, they all need bees.<br />
<br />
<br />
That's our whole SAT test right there.<br />
<br />
<br />
Take away produce, that affects<br />
the entire animal kingdom.<br />
<br />
<br />
And then, of course...<br />
<br />
<br />
The human species?<br />
<br />
<br />
So if there's no more pollination,<br />
<br />
<br />
it could all just go south here,<br />
couldn't it?<br />
<br />
<br />
I know this is also partly my fault.<br />
<br />
<br />
How about a suicide pact?<br />
<br />
<br />
How do we do it?<br />
<br />
<br />
- I'll sting you, you step on me.<br />
- Thatjust kills you twice.<br />
<br />
<br />
Right, right.<br />
<br />
<br />
Listen, Barry...<br />
sorry, but I gotta get going.<br />
<br />
<br />
I had to open my mouth and talk.<br />
<br />
<br />
Vanessa?<br />
<br />
<br />
Vanessa? Why are you leaving?<br />
Where are you going?<br />
<br />
<br />
To the final Tournament of Roses parade<br />
in Pasadena.<br />
<br />
<br />
They've moved it to this weekend<br />
because all the flowers are dying.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's the last chance<br />
I'll ever have to see it.<br />
<br />
<br />
Vanessa, I just wanna say I'm sorry.<br />
I never meant it to turn out like this.<br />
<br />
<br />
I know. Me neither.<br />
<br />
<br />
Tournament of Roses.<br />
Roses can't do sports.<br />
<br />
<br />
Wait a minute. Roses. Roses?<br />
<br />
<br />
Roses!<br />
<br />
<br />
Vanessa!<br />
<br />
<br />
Roses?!<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry?<br />
<br />
<br />
- Roses are flowers!<br />
- Yes, they are.<br />
<br />
<br />
Flowers, bees, pollen!<br />
<br />
<br />
I know.<br />
That's why this is the last parade.<br />
<br />
<br />
Maybe not.<br />
Oould you ask him to slow down?<br />
<br />
<br />
Oould you slow down?<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry!<br />
<br />
<br />
OK, I made a huge mistake.<br />
This is a total disaster, all my fault.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yes, it kind of is.<br />
<br />
<br />
I've ruined the planet.<br />
I wanted to help you<br />
<br />
<br />
with the flower shop.<br />
I've made it worse.<br />
<br />
<br />
Actually, it's completely closed down.<br />
<br />
<br />
I thought maybe you were remodeling.<br />
<br />
<br />
But I have another idea, and it's<br />
greater than my previous ideas combined.<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't want to hear it!<br />
<br />
<br />
All right, they have the roses,<br />
the roses have the pollen.<br />
<br />
<br />
I know every bee, plant<br />
and flower bud in this park.<br />
<br />
<br />
All we gotta do is get what they've got<br />
back here with what we've got.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Bees.<br />
- Park.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Pollen!<br />
- Flowers.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Repollination!<br />
- Across the nation!<br />
<br />
<br />
Tournament of Roses,<br />
Pasadena, Oalifornia.<br />
<br />
<br />
They've got nothing<br />
but flowers, floats and cotton candy.<br />
<br />
<br />
Security will be tight.<br />
<br />
<br />
I have an idea.<br />
<br />
<br />
Vanessa Bloome, FTD.<br />
<br />
<br />
Official floral business. It's real.<br />
<br />
<br />
Sorry, ma'am. Nice brooch.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you. It was a gift.<br />
<br />
<br />
Once inside,<br />
we just pick the right float.<br />
<br />
<br />
How about The Princess and the Pea?<br />
<br />
<br />
I could be the princess,<br />
and you could be the pea!<br />
<br />
<br />
Yes, I got it.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Where should I sit?<br />
- What are you?<br />
<br />
<br />
- I believe I'm the pea.<br />
- The pea?<br />
<br />
<br />
It goes under the mattresses.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Not in this fairy tale, sweetheart.<br />
- I'm getting the marshal.<br />
<br />
<br />
You do that!<br />
This whole parade is a fiasco!<br />
<br />
<br />
Let's see what this baby'll do.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hey, what are you doing?!<br />
<br />
<br />
Then all we do<br />
is blend in with traffic...<br />
<br />
<br />
...without arousing suspicion.<br />
<br />
<br />
Once at the airport,<br />
there's no stopping us.<br />
<br />
<br />
Stop! Security.<br />
<br />
<br />
- You and your insect pack your float?<br />
- Yes.<br />
<br />
<br />
Has it been<br />
in your possession the entire time?<br />
<br />
<br />
Would you remove your shoes?<br />
<br />
<br />
- Remove your stinger.<br />
- It's part of me.<br />
<br />
<br />
I know. Just having some fun.<br />
Enjoy your flight.<br />
<br />
<br />
Then if we're lucky, we'll have<br />
just enough pollen to do the job.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oan you believe how lucky we are? We<br />
have just enough pollen to do the job!<br />
<br />
<br />
I think this is gonna work.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's got to work.<br />
<br />
<br />
Attention, passengers,<br />
this is Oaptain Scott.<br />
<br />
<br />
We have a bit of bad weather<br />
in New York.<br />
<br />
<br />
It looks like we'll experience<br />
a couple hours delay.<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry, these are cut flowers<br />
with no water. They'll never make it.<br />
<br />
<br />
I gotta get up there<br />
and talk to them.<br />
<br />
<br />
Be careful.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oan I get help<br />
with the Sky Mall magazine?<br />
<br />
<br />
I'd like to order the talking<br />
inflatable nose and ear hair trimmer.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oaptain, I'm in a real situation.<br />
<br />
<br />
- What'd you say, Hal?<br />
- Nothing.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bee!<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't freak out! My entire species...<br />
<br />
<br />
What are you doing?<br />
<br />
<br />
- Wait a minute! I'm an attorney!<br />
- Who's an attorney?<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't move.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, Barry.<br />
<br />
<br />
Good afternoon, passengers.<br />
This is your captain.<br />
<br />
<br />
Would a Miss Vanessa Bloome in 24B<br />
please report to the cockpit?<br />
<br />
<br />
And please hurry!<br />
<br />
<br />
What happened here?<br />
<br />
<br />
There was a DustBuster,<br />
a toupee, a life raft exploded.<br />
<br />
<br />
One's bald, one's in a boat,<br />
they're both unconscious!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Is that another bee joke?<br />
- No!<br />
<br />
<br />
No one's flying the plane!<br />
<br />
<br />
This is JFK control tower, Flight 356.<br />
What's your status?<br />
<br />
<br />
This is Vanessa Bloome.<br />
I'm a florist from New York.<br />
<br />
<br />
Where's the pilot?<br />
<br />
<br />
He's unconscious,<br />
and so is the copilot.<br />
<br />
<br />
Not good. Does anyone onboard<br />
have flight experience?<br />
<br />
<br />
As a matter of fact, there is.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Who's that?<br />
- Barry Benson.<br />
<br />
<br />
From the honey trial?! Oh, great.<br />
<br />
<br />
Vanessa, this is nothing more<br />
than a big metal bee.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's got giant wings, huge engines.<br />
<br />
<br />
I can't fly a plane.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Why not? Isn't John Travolta a pilot?<br />
- Yes.<br />
<br />
<br />
How hard could it be?<br />
<br />
<br />
Wait, Barry!<br />
We're headed into some lightning.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is Bob Bumble. We have some<br />
late-breaking news from JFK Airport,<br />
<br />
<br />
where a suspenseful scene<br />
is developing.<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry Benson,<br />
fresh from his legal victory...<br />
<br />
<br />
That's Barry!<br />
<br />
<br />
...is attempting to land a plane,<br />
loaded with people, flowers<br />
<br />
<br />
and an incapacitated flight crew.<br />
<br />
<br />
Flowers?!<br />
<br />
<br />
We have a storm in the area<br />
and two individuals at the controls<br />
<br />
<br />
with absolutely no flight experience.<br />
<br />
<br />
Just a minute.<br />
There's a bee on that plane.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm quite familiar with Mr. Benson<br />
and his no-account compadres.<br />
<br />
<br />
They've done enough damage.<br />
<br />
<br />
But isn't he your only hope?<br />
<br />
<br />
Technically, a bee<br />
shouldn't be able to fly at all.<br />
<br />
<br />
Their wings are too small...<br />
<br />
<br />
Haven't we heard this a million times?<br />
<br />
<br />
"The surface area of the wings<br />
and body mass make no sense."<br />
<br />
<br />
- Get this on the air!<br />
- Got it.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Stand by.<br />
- We're going live.<br />
<br />
<br />
The way we work may be a mystery to you.<br />
<br />
<br />
Making honey takes a lot of bees<br />
doing a lot of small jobs.<br />
<br />
<br />
But let me tell you about a small job.<br />
<br />
<br />
If you do it well,<br />
it makes a big difference.<br />
<br />
<br />
More than we realized.<br />
To us, to everyone.<br />
<br />
<br />
That's why I want to get bees<br />
back to working together.<br />
<br />
<br />
That's the bee way!<br />
We're not made of Jell-O.<br />
<br />
<br />
We get behind a fellow.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Black and yellow!<br />
- Hello!<br />
<br />
<br />
Left, right, down, hover.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Hover?<br />
- Forget hover.<br />
<br />
<br />
This isn't so hard.<br />
Beep-beep! Beep-beep!<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry, what happened?!<br />
<br />
<br />
Wait, I think we were<br />
on autopilot the whole time.<br />
<br />
<br />
- That may have been helping me.<br />
- And now we're not!<br />
<br />
<br />
So it turns out I cannot fly a plane.<br />
<br />
<br />
All of you, let's get<br />
behind this fellow! Move it out!<br />
<br />
<br />
Move out!<br />
<br />
<br />
Our only chance is if I do what I'd do,<br />
you copy me with the wings of the plane!<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't have to yell.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm not yelling!<br />
We're in a lot of trouble.<br />
<br />
<br />
It's very hard to concentrate<br />
with that panicky tone in your voice!<br />
<br />
<br />
It's not a tone. I'm panicking!<br />
<br />
<br />
I can't do this!<br />
<br />
<br />
Vanessa, pull yourself together.<br />
You have to snap out of it!<br />
<br />
<br />
You snap out of it.<br />
<br />
<br />
You snap out of it.<br />
<br />
<br />
- You snap out of it!<br />
- You snap out of it!<br />
<br />
<br />
- You snap out of it!<br />
- You snap out of it!<br />
<br />
<br />
- You snap out of it!<br />
- You snap out of it!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Hold it!<br />
- Why? Oome on, it's my turn.<br />
<br />
<br />
How is the plane flying?<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't know.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hello?<br />
<br />
<br />
Benson, got any flowers<br />
for a happy occasion in there?<br />
<br />
<br />
The Pollen Jocks!<br />
<br />
<br />
They do get behind a fellow.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Black and yellow.<br />
- Hello.<br />
<br />
<br />
All right, let's drop this tin can<br />
on the blacktop.<br />
<br />
<br />
Where? I can't see anything. Oan you?<br />
<br />
<br />
No, nothing. It's all cloudy.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oome on. You got to think bee, Barry.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Thinking bee.<br />
- Thinking bee.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thinking bee!<br />
Thinking bee! Thinking bee!<br />
<br />
<br />
Wait a minute.<br />
I think I'm feeling something.<br />
<br />
<br />
- What?<br />
- I don't know. It's strong, pulling me.<br />
<br />
<br />
Like a 27-million-year-old instinct.<br />
<br />
<br />
Bring the nose down.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thinking bee!<br />
Thinking bee! Thinking bee!<br />
<br />
<br />
- What in the world is on the tarmac?<br />
- Get some lights on that!<br />
<br />
<br />
Thinking bee!<br />
Thinking bee! Thinking bee!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Vanessa, aim for the flower.<br />
- OK.<br />
<br />
<br />
Out the engines. We're going in<br />
on bee power. Ready, boys?<br />
<br />
<br />
Affirmative!<br />
<br />
<br />
Good. Good. Easy, now. That's it.<br />
<br />
<br />
Land on that flower!<br />
<br />
<br />
Ready? Full reverse!<br />
<br />
<br />
Spin it around!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Not that flower! The other one!<br />
- Which one?<br />
<br />
<br />
- That flower.<br />
- I'm aiming at the flower!<br />
<br />
<br />
That's a fat guy in a flowered shirt.<br />
I mean the giant pulsating flower<br />
<br />
<br />
made of millions of bees!<br />
<br />
<br />
Pull forward. Nose down. Tail up.<br />
<br />
<br />
Rotate around it.<br />
<br />
<br />
- This is insane, Barry!<br />
- This's the only way I know how to fly.<br />
<br />
<br />
Am I koo-koo-kachoo, or is this plane<br />
flying in an insect-like pattern?<br />
<br />
<br />
Get your nose in there. Don't be afraid.<br />
Smell it. Full reverse!<br />
<br />
<br />
Just drop it. Be a part of it.<br />
<br />
<br />
Aim for the center!<br />
<br />
<br />
Now drop it in! Drop it in, woman!<br />
<br />
<br />
Oome on, already.<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry, we did it!<br />
You taught me how to fly!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Yes. No high-five!<br />
- Right.<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry, it worked!<br />
Did you see the giant flower?<br />
<br />
<br />
What giant flower? Where? Of course<br />
I saw the flower! That was genius!<br />
<br />
<br />
- Thank you.<br />
- But we're not done yet.<br />
<br />
<br />
Listen, everyone!<br />
<br />
<br />
This runway is covered<br />
with the last pollen<br />
<br />
<br />
from the last flowers<br />
available anywhere on Earth.<br />
<br />
<br />
That means this is our last chance.<br />
<br />
<br />
We're the only ones who make honey,<br />
pollinate flowers and dress like this.<br />
<br />
<br />
If we're gonna survive as a species,<br />
this is our moment! What do you say?<br />
<br />
<br />
Are we going to be bees, orjust<br />
Museum of Natural History keychains?<br />
<br />
<br />
We're bees!<br />
<br />
<br />
Keychain!<br />
<br />
<br />
Then follow me! Except Keychain.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hold on, Barry. Here.<br />
<br />
<br />
You've earned this.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah!<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm a Pollen Jock! And it's a perfect<br />
fit. All I gotta do are the sleeves.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, yeah.<br />
<br />
<br />
That's our Barry.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mom! The bees are back!<br />
<br />
<br />
If anybody needs<br />
to make a call, now's the time.<br />
<br />
<br />
I got a feeling we'll be<br />
working late tonight!<br />
<br />
<br />
Here's your change. Have a great<br />
afternoon! Oan I help who's next?<br />
<br />
<br />
Would you like some honey with that?<br />
It is bee-approved. Don't forget these.<br />
<br />
<br />
Milk, cream, cheese, it's all me.<br />
And I don't see a nickel!<br />
<br />
<br />
Sometimes I just feel<br />
like a piece of meat!<br />
<br />
<br />
I had no idea.<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry, I'm sorry.<br />
Have you got a moment?<br />
<br />
<br />
Would you excuse me?<br />
My mosquito associate will help you.<br />
<br />
<br />
Sorry I'm late.<br />
<br />
<br />
He's a lawyer too?<br />
<br />
<br />
I was already a blood-sucking parasite.<br />
All I needed was a briefcase.<br />
<br />
<br />
Have a great afternoon!<br />
<br />
<br />
Barry, I just got this huge tulip order,<br />
and I can't get them anywhere.<br />
<br />
<br />
No problem, Vannie.<br />
Just leave it to me.<br />
<br />
<br />
You're a lifesaver, Barry.<br />
Oan I help who's next?<br />
<br />
<br />
All right, scramble, jocks!<br />
It's time to fly.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you, Barry!<br />
<br />
<br />
That bee is living my life!<br />
<br />
<br />
Let it go, Kenny.<br />
<br />
<br />
- When will this nightmare end?!<br />
- Let it all go.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Beautiful day to fly.<br />
- Sure is.<br />
<br />
<br />
Between you and me,<br />
I was dying to get out of that office.<br />
<br />
<br />
You have got<br />
to start thinking bee, my friend.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Thinking bee!<br />
- Me?<br />
<br />
<br />
Hold it. Let's just stop<br />
for a second. Hold it.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, everyone.<br />
Oan we stop here?<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm not making a major life decision<br />
during a production number!<br />
<br />
<br />
All right. Take ten, everybody.<br />
Wrap it up, guys.<br />
<br />
<br />
I had virtually no rehearsal for that.</div>TheEnbyperor
