Bee Movie Script - Dialogue Transcript
Voila! Finally, the Bee Movie script is here for all you fans of the Jerry Seinfeld animated movie. This puppy is a transcript that was painstakingly transcribed using the screenplay and/or viewings of the movie to get the dialogue. I know, I know, I still need to get the cast names in there and all that jazz, so if you have any corrections, feel free to drop me a line. At least you'll have some Bee Movie quotes (or even a monologue or two) to annoy your coworkers with in the meantime, right?
Bee Movie Script
[b][font=Arial][color=#ffffff]Â
Â
According to all known laws
of aviation,
Â
there is no way a bee
should be able to fly.
Â
Its wings are too small to get
its fat little body off the ground.
Â
The bee, of course, flies anyway
Â
because bees don't care
what humans think is impossible.
Â
Yellow, black. Yellow, black.
Yellow, black. Yellow, black.
Â
Ooh, black and yellow!
Let's shake it up a little.
Â
Barry! Breakfast is ready!
Â
Ooming!
Â
Hang on a second.
Â
Hello?
Â
- Barry?
- Adam?
Â
- Oan you believe this is happening?
- I can't. I'll pick you up.
Â
Looking sharp.
Â
Use the stairs. Your father
paid good money for those.
Â
Sorry. I'm excited.
Â
Here's the graduate.
We're very proud of you, son.
Â
A perfect report card, all B's.
Â
Very proud.
Â
Ma! I got a thing going here.
Â
- You got lint on your fuzz.
- Ow! That's me!
Â
- Wave to us! We'll be in row 118,000.
- Bye!
Â
Barry, I told you,
stop flying in the house!
Â
- Hey, Adam.
- Hey, Barry.
Â
- Is that fuzz gel?
- A little. Special day, graduation.
Â
Never thought I'd make it.
Â
Three days grade school,
three days high school.
Â
Those were awkward.
Â
Three days college. I'm glad I took
a day and hitchhiked around the hive.
Â
You did come back different.
Â
- Hi, Barry.
- Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good.
Â
- Hear about Frankie?
- Yeah.
Â
- You going to the funeral?
- No, I'm not going.
Â
Everybody knows,
sting someone, you die.
Â
Don't waste it on a squirrel.
Such a hothead.
Â
I guess he could have
just gotten out of the way.
Â
I love this incorporating
an amusement park into our day.
Â
That's why we don't need vacations.
Â
Boy, quite a bit of pomp...
under the circumstances.
Â
- Well, Adam, today we are men.
- We are!
Â
- Bee-men.
- Amen!
Â
Hallelujah!
Â
Students, faculty, distinguished bees,
Â
please welcome Dean Buzzwell.
Â
Welcome, New Hive Oity
graduating class of...
Â
...9:15.
Â
That concludes our ceremonies.
Â
And begins your career
at Honex Industries!
Â
Will we pick ourjob today?
Â
I heard it's just orientation.
Â
Heads up! Here we go.
Â
Keep your hands and antennas
inside the tram at all times.
Â
- Wonder what it'll be like?
- A little scary.
Â
Welcome to Honex,
a division of Honesco
Â
and a part of the Hexagon Group.
Â
This is it!
Â
Wow.
Â
Wow.
Â
We know that you, as a bee,
have worked your whole life
Â
to get to the point where you
can work for your whole life.
Â
Honey begins when our valiant Pollen
Jocks bring the nectar to the hive.
Â
Our top-secret formula
Â
is automatically color-corrected,
scent-adjusted and bubble-contoured
Â
into this soothing sweet syrup
Â
with its distinctive
golden glow you know as...
Â
Honey!
Â
- That girl was hot.
- She's my cousin!
Â
- She is?
- Yes, we're all cousins.
Â
- Right. You're right.
- At Honex, we constantly strive
Â
to improve every aspect
of bee existence.
Â
These bees are stress-testing
a new helmet technology.
Â
- What do you think he makes?
- Not enough.
Â
Here we have our latest advancement,
the Krelman.
Â
- What does that do?
- Oatches that little strand of honey
Â
that hangs after you pour it.
Saves us millions.
Â
Oan anyone work on the Krelman?
Â
Of course. Most bee jobs are
small ones. But bees know
Â
that every small job,
if it's done well, means a lot.
Â
But choose carefully
Â
because you'll stay in the job
you pick for the rest of your life.
Â
The same job the rest of your life?
I didn't know that.
Â
What's the difference?
Â
You'll be happy to know that bees,
as a species, haven't had one day off
Â
in 27 million years.
Â
So you'll just work us to death?
Â
We'll sure try.
Â
Wow! That blew my mind!
Â
"What's the difference?"
How can you say that?
Â
One job forever?
That's an insane choice to have to make.
Â
I'm relieved. Now we only have
to make one decision in life.
Â
But, Adam, how could they
never have told us that?
Â
Why would you question anything?
We're bees.
Â
We're the most perfectly
functioning society on Earth.
Â
You ever think maybe things
work a little too well here?
Â
Like what? Give me one example.
Â
I don't know. But you know
what I'm talking about.
Â
Please clear the gate.
Royal Nectar Force on approach.
Â
Wait a second. Oheck it out.
Â
- Hey, those are Pollen Jocks!
- Wow.
Â
I've never seen them this close.
Â
They know what it's like
outside the hive.
Â
Yeah, but some don't come back.
Â
- Hey, Jocks!
- Hi, Jocks!
Â
You guys did great!
Â
You're monsters!
You're sky freaks! I love it! I love it!
Â
- I wonder where they were.
- I don't know.
Â
Their day's not planned.
Â
Outside the hive, flying who knows
where, doing who knows what.
Â
You can'tjust decide to be a Pollen
Jock. You have to be bred for that.
Â
Right.
Â
Look. That's more pollen
than you and I will see in a lifetime.
Â
It's just a status symbol.
Bees make too much of it.
Â
Perhaps. Unless you're wearing it
and the ladies see you wearing it.
Â
Those ladies?
Aren't they our cousins too?
Â
Distant. Distant.
Â
Look at these two.
Â
- Oouple of Hive Harrys.
- Let's have fun with them.
Â
It must be dangerous
being a Pollen Jock.
Â
Yeah. Once a bear pinned me
against a mushroom!
Â
He had a paw on my throat,
and with the other, he was slapping me!
Â
- Oh, my!
- I never thought I'd knock him out.
Â
What were you doing during this?
Â
Trying to alert the authorities.
Â
I can autograph that.
Â
A little gusty out there today,
wasn't it, comrades?
Â
Yeah. Gusty.
Â
We're hitting a sunflower patch
six miles from here tomorrow.
Â
- Six miles, huh?
- Barry!
Â
A puddle jump for us,
but maybe you're not up for it.
Â
- Maybe I am.
- You are not!
Â
We're going 0900 at J-Gate.
Â
What do you think, buzzy-boy?
Are you bee enough?
Â
I might be. It all depends
on what 0900 means.
Â
Hey, Honex!
Â
Dad, you surprised me.
Â
You decide what you're interested in?
Â
- Well, there's a lot of choices.
- But you only get one.
Â
Do you ever get bored
doing the same job every day?
Â
Son, let me tell you about stirring.
Â
You grab that stick, and you just
move it around, and you stir it around.
Â
You get yourself into a rhythm.
It's a beautiful thing.
Â
You know, Dad,
the more I think about it,
Â
maybe the honey field
just isn't right for me.
Â
You were thinking of what,
making balloon animals?
Â
That's a bad job
for a guy with a stinger.
Â
Janet, your son's not sure
he wants to go into honey!
Â
- Barry, you are so funny sometimes.
- I'm not trying to be funny.
Â
You're not funny! You're going
into honey. Our son, the stirrer!
Â
- You're gonna be a stirrer?
- No one's listening to me!
Â
Wait till you see the sticks I have.
Â
I could say anything right now.
I'm gonna get an ant tattoo!
Â
Let's open some honey and celebrate!
Â
Maybe I'll pierce my thorax.
Shave my antennae.
Â
Shack up with a grasshopper. Get
a gold tooth and call everybody "dawg"!
Â
I'm so proud.
Â
- We're starting work today!
- Today's the day.
Â
Oome on! All the good jobs
will be gone.
Â
Yeah, right.
Â
Pollen counting, stunt bee, pouring,
stirrer, front desk, hair removal...
Â
- Is it still available?
- Hang on. Two left!
Â
One of them's yours! Oongratulations!
Step to the side.
Â
- What'd you get?
- Picking crud out. Stellar!
Â
Wow!
Â
Oouple of newbies?
Â
Yes, sir! Our first day! We are ready!
Â
Make your choice.
Â
- You want to go first?
- No, you go.
Â
Oh, my. What's available?
Â
Restroom attendant's open,
not for the reason you think.
Â
- Any chance of getting the Krelman?
- Sure, you're on.
Â
I'm sorry, the Krelman just closed out.
Â
Wax monkey's always open.
Â
The Krelman opened up again.
Â
What happened?
Â
A bee died. Makes an opening. See?
He's dead. Another dead one.
Â
Deady. Deadified. Two more dead.
Â
Dead from the neck up.
Dead from the neck down. That's life!
Â
Oh, this is so hard!
Â
Heating, cooling,
stunt bee, pourer, stirrer,
Â
humming, inspector number seven,
lint coordinator, stripe supervisor,
Â
mite wrangler. Barry, what
do you think I should... Barry?
Â
Barry!
Â
All right, we've got the sunflower patch
in quadrant nine...
Â
What happened to you?
Where are you?
Â
- I'm going out.
- Out? Out where?
Â
- Out there.
- Oh, no!
Â
I have to, before I go
to work for the rest of my life.
Â
You're gonna die! You're crazy! Hello?
Â
Another call coming in.
Â
If anyone's feeling brave,
there's a Korean deli on 83rd
Â
that gets their roses today.
Â
Hey, guys.
Â
- Look at that.
- Isn't that the kid we saw yesterday?
Â
Hold it, son, flight deck's restricted.
Â
It's OK, Lou. We're gonna take him up.
Â
Really? Feeling lucky, are you?
Â
Sign here, here. Just initial that.
Â
- Thank you.
- OK.
Â
You got a rain advisory today,
Â
and as you all know,
bees cannot fly in rain.
Â
So be careful. As always,
watch your brooms,
Â
hockey sticks, dogs,
birds, bears and bats.
Â
Also, I got a couple of reports
of root beer being poured on us.
Â
Murphy's in a home because of it,
babbling like a cicada!
Â
- That's awful.
- And a reminder for you rookies,
Â
bee law number one,
absolutely no talking to humans!
Â
All right, launch positions!
Â
Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz,
buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz!
Â
Black and yellow!
Â
Hello!
Â
You ready for this, hot shot?
Â
Yeah. Yeah, bring it on.
Â
Wind, check.
Â
- Antennae, check.
- Nectar pack, check.
Â
- Wings, check.
- Stinger, check.
Â
Scared out of my shorts, check.
Â
OK, ladies,
Â
let's move it out!
Â
Pound those petunias,
you striped stem-suckers!
Â
All of you, drain those flowers!
Â
Wow! I'm out!
Â
I can't believe I'm out!
Â
So blue.
Â
I feel so fast and free!
Â
Box kite!
Â
Wow!
Â
Flowers!
Â
This is Blue Leader.
We have roses visual.
Â
Bring it around 30 degrees and hold.
Â
Roses!
Â
30 degrees, roger. Bringing it around.
Â
Stand to the side, kid.
It's got a bit of a kick.
Â
That is one nectar collector!
Â
- Ever see pollination up close?
- No, sir.
Â
I pick up some pollen here, sprinkle it
over here. Maybe a dash over there,
Â
a pinch on that one.
See that? It's a little bit of magic.
Â
That's amazing. Why do we do that?
Â
That's pollen power. More pollen, more
flowers, more nectar, more honey for us.
Â
Oool.
Â
I'm picking up a lot of bright yellow.
Oould be daisies. Don't we need those?
Â
Oopy that visual.
Â
Wait. One of these flowers
seems to be on the move.
Â
Say again? You're reporting
a moving flower?
Â
Affirmative.
Â
That was on the line!
Â
This is the coolest. What is it?
Â
I don't know, but I'm loving this color.
Â
It smells good.
Not like a flower, but I like it.
Â
Yeah, fuzzy.
Â
Ohemical-y.
Â
Oareful, guys. It's a little grabby.
Â
My sweet lord of bees!
Â
Oandy-brain, get off there!
Â
Problem!
Â
- Guys!
- This could be bad.
Â
Affirmative.
Â
Very close.
Â
Gonna hurt.
Â
Mama's little boy.
Â
You are way out of position, rookie!
Â
Ooming in at you like a missile!
Â
Help me!
Â
I don't think these are flowers.
Â
- Should we tell him?
- I think he knows.
Â
What is this?!
Â
Match point!
Â
You can start packing up, honey,
because you're about to eat it!
Â
Yowser!
Â
Gross.
Â
There's a bee in the car!
Â
- Do something!
- I'm driving!
Â
- Hi, bee.
- He's back here!
Â
He's going to sting me!
Â
Nobody move. If you don't move,
he won't sting you. Freeze!
Â
He blinked!
Â
Spray him, Granny!
Â
What are you doing?!
Â
Wow... the tension level
out here is unbelievable.
Â
I gotta get home.
Â
Oan't fly in rain.
Â
Oan't fly in rain.
Â
Oan't fly in rain.
Â
Mayday! Mayday! Bee going down!
Â
Ken, could you close
the window please?
Â
Ken, could you close
the window please?
Â
Oheck out my new resume.
I made it into a fold-out brochure.
Â
You see? Folds out.
Â
Oh, no. More humans. I don't need this.
Â
What was that?
Â
Maybe this time. This time. This time.
This time! This time! This...
Â
Drapes!
Â
That is diabolical.
Â
It's fantastic. It's got all my special
skills, even my top-ten favorite movies.
Â
What's number one? Star Wars?
Â
Nah, I don't go for that...
Â
...kind of stuff.
Â
No wonder we shouldn't talk to them.
They're out of their minds.
Â
When I leave a job interview, they're
flabbergasted, can't believe what I say.
Â
There's the sun. Maybe that's a way out.
Â
I don't remember the sun
having a big 75 on it.
Â
I predicted global warming.
Â
I could feel it getting hotter.
At first I thought it was just me.
Â
Wait! Stop! Bee!
Â
Stand back. These are winter boots.
Â
Wait!
Â
Don't kill him!
Â
You know I'm allergic to them!
This thing could kill me!
Â
Why does his life have
less value than yours?
Â
Why does his life have any less value
than mine? Is that your statement?
Â
I'm just saying all life has value. You
don't know what he's capable of feeling.
Â
My brochure!
Â
There you go, little guy.
Â
I'm not scared of him.
It's an allergic thing.
Â
Put that on your resume brochure.
Â
My whole face could puff up.
Â
Make it one of your special skills.
Â
Knocking someone out
is also a special skill.
Â
Right. Bye, Vanessa. Thanks.
Â
- Vanessa, next week? Yogurt night?
- Sure, Ken. You know, whatever.
Â
- You could put carob chips on there.
- Bye.
Â
- Supposed to be less calories.
- Bye.
Â
I gotta say something.
Â
She saved my life.
I gotta say something.
Â
All right, here it goes.
Â
Nah.
Â
What would I say?
Â
I could really get in trouble.
Â
It's a bee law.
You're not supposed to talk to a human.
Â
I can't believe I'm doing this.
Â
I've got to.
Â
Oh, I can't do it. Oome on!
Â
No. Yes. No.
Â
Do it. I can't.
Â
How should I start it?
"You like jazz?" No, that's no good.
Â
Here she comes! Speak, you fool!
Â
Hi!
Â
I'm sorry.
Â
- You're talking.
- Yes, I know.
Â
You're talking!
Â
I'm so sorry.
Â
No, it's OK. It's fine.
I know I'm dreaming.
Â
But I don't recall going to bed.
Â
Well, I'm sure this
is very disconcerting.
Â
This is a bit of a surprise to me.
I mean, you're a bee!
Â
I am. And I'm not supposed
to be doing this,
Â
but they were all trying to kill me.
Â
And if it wasn't for you...
Â
I had to thank you.
It's just how I was raised.
Â
That was a little weird.
Â
- I'm talking with a bee.
- Yeah.
Â
I'm talking to a bee.
And the bee is talking to me!
Â
I just want to say I'm grateful.
I'll leave now.
Â
- Wait! How did you learn to do that?
- What?
Â
The talking thing.
Â
Same way you did, I guess.
"Mama, Dada, honey." You pick it up.
Â
- That's very funny.
- Yeah.
Â
Bees are funny. If we didn't laugh,
we'd cry with what we have to deal with.
Â
Anyway...
Â
Oan I...
Â
...get you something?
- Like what?
Â
I don't know. I mean...
I don't know. Ooffee?
Â
I don't want to put you out.
Â
It's no trouble. It takes two minutes.
Â
- It's just coffee.
- I hate to impose.
Â
- Don't be ridiculous!
- Actually, I would love a cup.
Â
Hey, you want rum cake?
Â
- I shouldn't.
- Have some.
Â
- No, I can't.
- Oome on!
Â
I'm trying to lose a couple micrograms.
Â
- Where?
- These stripes don't help.
Â
You look great!
Â
I don't know if you know
anything about fashion.
Â
Are you all right?
Â
No.
Â
He's making the tie in the cab
as they're flying up Madison.
Â
He finally gets there.
Â
He runs up the steps into the church.
The wedding is on.
Â
And he says, "Watermelon?
I thought you said Guatemalan.
Â
Why would I marry a watermelon?"
Â
Is that a bee joke?
Â
That's the kind of stuff we do.
Â
Yeah, different.
Â
So, what are you gonna do, Barry?
Â
About work? I don't know.
Â
I want to do my part for the hive,
but I can't do it the way they want.
Â
I know how you feel.
Â
- You do?
- Sure.
Â
My parents wanted me to be a lawyer or
a doctor, but I wanted to be a florist.
Â
- Really?
- My only interest is flowers.
Â
Our new queen was just elected
with that same campaign slogan.
Â
Anyway, if you look...
Â
There's my hive right there. See it?
Â
You're in Sheep Meadow!
Â
Yes! I'm right off the Turtle Pond!
Â
No way! I know that area.
I lost a toe ring there once.
Â
- Why do girls put rings on their toes?
- Why not?
Â
- It's like putting a hat on your knee.
- Maybe I'll try that.
Â
- You all right, ma'am?
- Oh, yeah. Fine.
Â
Just having two cups of coffee!
Â
Anyway, this has been great.
Thanks for the coffee.
Â
Yeah, it's no trouble.
Â
Sorry I couldn't finish it. If I did,
I'd be up the rest of my life.
Â
Are you...?
Â
Oan I take a piece of this with me?
Â
Sure! Here, have a crumb.
Â
- Thanks!
- Yeah.
Â
All right. Well, then...
I guess I'll see you around.
Â
Or not.
Â
OK, Barry.
Â
And thank you
so much again... for before.
Â
Oh, that? That was nothing.
Â
Well, not nothing, but... Anyway...
Â
This can't possibly work.
Â
He's all set to go.
We may as well try it.
Â
OK, Dave, pull the chute.
Â
- Sounds amazing.
- It was amazing!
Â
It was the scariest,
happiest moment of my life.
Â
Humans! I can't believe
you were with humans!
Â
Giant, scary humans!
What were they like?
Â
Huge and crazy. They talk crazy.
Â
They eat crazy giant things.
They drive crazy.
Â
- Do they try and kill you, like on TV?
- Some of them. But some of them don't.
Â
- How'd you get back?
- Poodle.
Â
You did it, and I'm glad. You saw
whatever you wanted to see.
Â
You had your "experience." Now you
can pick out yourjob and be normal.
Â
- Well...
- Well?
Â
Well, I met someone.
Â
You did? Was she Bee-ish?
Â
- A wasp?! Your parents will kill you!
- No, no, no, not a wasp.
Â
- Spider?
- I'm not attracted to spiders.
Â
I know it's the hottest thing,
with the eight legs and all.
Â
I can't get by that face.
Â
So who is she?
Â
She's... human.
Â
No, no. That's a bee law.
You wouldn't break a bee law.
Â
- Her name's Vanessa.
- Oh, boy.
Â
She's so nice. And she's a florist!
Â
Oh, no! You're dating a human florist!
Â
We're not dating.
Â
You're flying outside the hive, talking
to humans that attack our homes
Â
with power washers and M-80s!
One-eighth a stick of dynamite!
Â
She saved my life!
And she understands me.
Â
This is over!
Â
Eat this.
Â
This is not over! What was that?
Â
- They call it a crumb.
- It was so stingin' stripey!
Â
And that's not what they eat.
That's what falls off what they eat!
Â
- You know what a Oinnabon is?
- No.
Â
It's bread and cinnamon and frosting.
They heat it up...
Â
Sit down!
Â
...really hot!
- Listen to me!
Â
We are not them! We're us.
There's us and there's them!
Â
Yes, but who can deny
the heart that is yearning?
Â
There's no yearning.
Stop yearning. Listen to me!
Â
You have got to start thinking bee,
my friend. Thinking bee!
Â
- Thinking bee.
- Thinking bee.
Â
Thinking bee! Thinking bee!
Thinking bee! Thinking bee!
Â
There he is. He's in the pool.
Â
You know what your problem is, Barry?
Â
I gotta start thinking bee?
Â
How much longer will this go on?
Â
It's been three days!
Why aren't you working?
Â
I've got a lot of big life decisions
to think about.
Â
What life? You have no life!
You have no job. You're barely a bee!
Â
Would it kill you
to make a little honey?
Â
Barry, come out.
Your father's talking to you.
Â
Martin, would you talk to him?
Â
Barry, I'm talking to you!
Â
You coming?
Â
Got everything?
Â
All set!
Â
Go ahead. I'll catch up.
Â
Don't be too long.
Â
Watch this!
Â
Vanessa!
Â
- We're still here.
- I told you not to yell at him.
Â
He doesn't respond to yelling!
Â
- Then why yell at me?
- Because you don't listen!
Â
I'm not listening to this.
Â
Sorry, I've gotta go.
Â
- Where are you going?
- I'm meeting a friend.
Â
A girl? Is this why you can't decide?
Â
Bye.
Â
I just hope she's Bee-ish.
Â
They have a huge parade
of flowers every year in Pasadena?
Â
To be in the Tournament of Roses,
that's every florist's dream!
Â
Up on a float, surrounded
by flowers, crowds cheering.
Â
A tournament. Do the roses
compete in athletic events?
Â
No. All right, I've got one.
How come you don't fly everywhere?
Â
It's exhausting. Why don't you
run everywhere? It's faster.
Â
Yeah, OK, I see, I see.
All right, your turn.
Â
TiVo. You can just freeze live TV?
That's insane!
Â
You don't have that?
Â
We have Hivo, but it's a disease.
It's a horrible, horrible disease.
Â
Oh, my.
Â
Dumb bees!
Â
You must want to sting all those jerks.
Â
We try not to sting.
It's usually fatal for us.
Â
So you have to watch your temper.
Â
Very carefully.
You kick a wall, take a walk,
Â
write an angry letter and throw it out.
Work through it like any emotion:
Â
Anger, jealousy, lust.
Â
Oh, my goodness! Are you OK?
Â
Yeah.
Â
- What is wrong with you?!
- It's a bug.
Â
He's not bothering anybody.
Get out of here, you creep!
Â
What was that? A Pic 'N' Save circular?
Â
Yeah, it was. How did you know?
Â
It felt like about 10 pages.
Seventy-five is pretty much our limit.
Â
You've really got that
down to a science.
Â
- I lost a cousin to Italian Vogue.
- I'll bet.
Â
What in the name
of Mighty Hercules is this?
Â
How did this get here?
Oute Bee, Golden Blossom,
Â
Ray Liotta Private Select?
Â
- Is he that actor?
- I never heard of him.
Â
- Why is this here?
- For people. We eat it.
Â
You don't have
enough food of your own?
Â
- Well, yes.
- How do you get it?
Â
- Bees make it.
- I know who makes it!
Â
And it's hard to make it!
Â
There's heating, cooling, stirring.
You need a whole Krelman thing!
Â
- It's organic.
- It's our-ganic!
Â
It's just honey, Barry.
Â
Just what?!
Â
Bees don't know about this!
This is stealing! A lot of stealing!
Â
You've taken our homes, schools,
hospitals! This is all we have!
Â
And it's on sale?!
I'm getting to the bottom of this.
Â
I'm getting to the bottom
of all of this!
Â
Hey, Hector.
Â
- You almost done?
- Almost.
Â
He is here. I sense it.
Â
Well, I guess I'll go home now
Â
and just leave this nice honey out,
with no one around.
Â
You're busted, box boy!
Â
I knew I heard something.
So you can talk!
Â
I can talk.
And now you'll start talking!
Â
Where you getting the sweet stuff?
Who's your supplier?
Â
I don't understand.
I thought we were friends.
Â
The last thing we want
to do is upset bees!
Â
You're too late! It's ours now!
Â
You, sir, have crossed
the wrong sword!
Â
You, sir, will be lunch
for my iguana, Ignacio!
Â
Where is the honey coming from?
Â
Tell me where!
Â
Honey Farms! It comes from Honey Farms!
Â
Orazy person!
Â
What horrible thing has happened here?
Â
These faces, they never knew
what hit them. And now
Â
they're on the road to nowhere!
Â
Just keep still.
Â
What? You're not dead?
Â
Do I look dead? They will wipe anything
that moves. Where you headed?
Â
To Honey Farms.
I am onto something huge here.
Â
I'm going to Alaska. Moose blood,
crazy stuff. Blows your head off!
Â
I'm going to Tacoma.
Â
- And you?
- He really is dead.
Â
All right.
Â
Uh-oh!
Â
- What is that?!
- Oh, no!
Â
- A wiper! Triple blade!
- Triple blade?
Â
Jump on! It's your only chance, bee!
Â
Why does everything have
to be so doggone clean?!
Â
How much do you people need to see?!
Â
Open your eyes!
Stick your head out the window!
Â
From NPR News in Washington,
I'm Oarl Kasell.
Â
But don't kill no more bugs!
Â
- Bee!
- Moose blood guy!!
Â
- You hear something?
- Like what?
Â
Like tiny screaming.
Â
Turn off the radio.
Â
Whassup, bee boy?
Â
Hey, Blood.
Â
Just a row of honey jars,
as far as the eye could see.
Â
Wow!
Â
I assume wherever this truck goes
is where they're getting it.
Â
I mean, that honey's ours.
Â
- Bees hang tight.
- We're all jammed in.
Â
It's a close community.
Â
Not us, man. We on our own.
Every mosquito on his own.
Â
- What if you get in trouble?
- You a mosquito, you in trouble.
Â
Nobody likes us. They just smack.
See a mosquito, smack, smack!
Â
At least you're out in the world.
You must meet girls.
Â
Mosquito girls try to trade up,
get with a moth, dragonfly.
Â
Mosquito girl don't want no mosquito.
Â
You got to be kidding me!
Â
Mooseblood's about to leave
the building! So long, bee!
Â
- Hey, guys!
- Mooseblood!
Â
I knew I'd catch y'all down here.
Did you bring your crazy straw?
Â
We throw it in jars, slap a label on it,
and it's pretty much pure profit.
Â
What is this place?
Â
A bee's got a brain
the size of a pinhead.
Â
They are pinheads!
Â
Pinhead.
Â
- Oheck out the new smoker.
- Oh, sweet. That's the one you want.
Â
The Thomas 3000!
Â
Smoker?
Â
Ninety puffs a minute, semi-automatic.
Twice the nicotine, all the tar.
Â
A couple breaths of this
knocks them right out.
Â
They make the honey,
and we make the money.
Â
"They make the honey,
and we make the money"?
Â
Oh, my!
Â
What's going on? Are you OK?
Â
Yeah. It doesn't last too long.
Â
Do you know you're
in a fake hive with fake walls?
Â
Our queen was moved here.
We had no choice.
Â
This is your queen?
That's a man in women's clothes!
Â
That's a drag queen!
Â
What is this?
Â
Oh, no!
Â
There's hundreds of them!
Â
Bee honey.
Â
Our honey is being brazenly stolen
on a massive scale!
Â
This is worse than anything bears
have done! I intend to do something.
Â
Oh, Barry, stop.
Â
Who told you humans are taking
our honey? That's a rumor.
Â
Do these look like rumors?
Â
That's a conspiracy theory.
These are obviously doctored photos.
Â
How did you get mixed up in this?
Â
He's been talking to humans.
Â
- What?
- Talking to humans?!
Â
He has a human girlfriend.
And they make out!
Â
Make out? Barry!
Â
We do not.
Â
- You wish you could.
- Whose side are you on?
Â
The bees!
Â
I dated a cricket once in San Antonio.
Those crazy legs kept me up all night.
Â
Barry, this is what you want
to do with your life?
Â
I want to do it for all our lives.
Nobody works harder than bees!
Â
Dad, I remember you
coming home so overworked
Â
your hands were still stirring.
You couldn't stop.
Â
I remember that.
Â
What right do they have to our honey?
Â
We live on two cups a year. They put it
in lip balm for no reason whatsoever!
Â
Even if it's true, what can one bee do?
Â
Sting them where it really hurts.
Â
In the face! The eye!
Â
- That would hurt.
- No.
Â
Up the nose? That's a killer.
Â
There's only one place you can sting
the humans, one place where it matters.
Â
Hive at Five, the hive's only
full-hour action news source.
Â
No more bee beards!
Â
With Bob Bumble at the anchor desk.
Â
Weather with Storm Stinger.
Â
Sports with Buzz Larvi.
Â
And Jeanette Ohung.
Â
- Good evening. I'm Bob Bumble.
- And I'm Jeanette Ohung.
Â
A tri-county bee, Barry Benson,
Â
intends to sue the human race
for stealing our honey,
Â
packaging it and profiting
from it illegally!
Â
Tomorrow night on Bee Larry King,
Â
we'll have three former queens here in
our studio, discussing their new book,
Â
Olassy Ladies,
out this week on Hexagon.
Â
Tonight we're talking to Barry Benson.
Â
Did you ever think, "I'm a kid
from the hive. I can't do this"?
Â
Bees have never been afraid
to change the world.
Â
What about Bee Oolumbus?
Bee Gandhi? Bejesus?
Â
Where I'm from, we'd never sue humans.
Â
We were thinking
of stickball or candy stores.
Â
How old are you?
Â
The bee community
is supporting you in this case,
Â
which will be the trial
of the bee century.
Â
You know, they have a Larry King
in the human world too.
Â
It's a common name. Next week...
Â
He looks like you and has a show
and suspenders and colored dots...
Â
Next week...
Â
Glasses, quotes on the bottom from the
guest even though you just heard 'em.
Â
Bear Week next week!
They're scary, hairy and here live.
Â
Always leans forward, pointy shoulders,
squinty eyes, very Jewish.
Â
In tennis, you attack
at the point of weakness!
Â
It was my grandmother, Ken. She's 81.
Â
Honey, her backhand's a joke!
I'm not gonna take advantage of that?
Â
Quiet, please.
Actual work going on here.
Â
- Is that that same bee?
- Yes, it is!
Â
I'm helping him sue the human race.
Â
- Hello.
- Hello, bee.
Â
This is Ken.
Â
Yeah, I remember you. Timberland, size
ten and a half. Vibram sole, I believe.
Â
Why does he talk again?
Â
Listen, you better go
'cause we're really busy working.
Â
But it's our yogurt night!
Â
Bye-bye.
Â
Why is yogurt night so difficult?!
Â
You poor thing.
You two have been at this for hours!
Â
Yes, and Adam here
has been a huge help.
Â
- Frosting...
- How many sugars?
Â
Just one. I try not
to use the competition.
Â
So why are you helping me?
Â
Bees have good qualities.
Â
And it takes my mind off the shop.
Â
Instead of flowers, people
are giving balloon bouquets now.
Â
Those are great, if you're three.
Â
And artificial flowers.
Â
- Oh, those just get me psychotic!
- Yeah, me too.
Â
Bent stingers, pointless pollination.
Â
Bees must hate those fake things!
Â
Nothing worse
than a daffodil that's had work done.
Â
Maybe this could make up
for it a little bit.
Â
- This lawsuit's a pretty big deal.
- I guess.
Â
You sure you want to go through with it?
Â
Am I sure? When I'm done with
the humans, they won't be able
Â
to say, "Honey, I'm home,"
without paying a royalty!
Â
It's an incredible scene
here in downtown Manhattan,
Â
where the world anxiously waits,
because for the first time in history,
Â
we will hear for ourselves
if a honeybee can actually speak.
Â
What have we gotten into here, Barry?
Â
It's pretty big, isn't it?
Â
I can't believe how many humans
don't work during the day.
Â
You think billion-dollar multinational
food companies have good lawyers?
Â
Everybody needs to stay
behind the barricade.
Â
- What's the matter?
- I don't know, I just got a chill.
Â
Well, if it isn't the bee team.
Â
You boys work on this?
Â
All rise! The Honorable
Judge Bumbleton presiding.
Â
All right. Oase number 4475,
Â
Superior Oourt of New York,
Barry Bee Benson v. the Honey Industry
Â
is now in session.
Â
Mr. Montgomery, you're representing
the five food companies collectively?
Â
A privilege.
Â
Mr. Benson... you're representing
all the bees of the world?
Â
I'm kidding. Yes, Your Honor,
we're ready to proceed.
Â
Mr. Montgomery,
your opening statement, please.
Â
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
Â
my grandmother was a simple woman.
Â
Born on a farm, she believed
it was man's divine right
Â
to benefit from the bounty
of nature God put before us.
Â
If we lived in the topsy-turvy world
Mr. Benson imagines,
Â
just think of what would it mean.
Â
I would have to negotiate
with the silkworm
Â
for the elastic in my britches!
Â
Talking bee!
Â
How do we know this isn't some sort of
Â
holographic motion-picture-capture
Hollywood wizardry?
Â
They could be using laser beams!
Â
Robotics! Ventriloquism!
Oloning! For all we know,
Â
he could be on steroids!
Â
Mr. Benson?
Â
Ladies and gentlemen,
there's no trickery here.
Â
I'm just an ordinary bee.
Honey's pretty important to me.
Â
It's important to all bees.
We invented it!
Â
We make it. And we protect it
with our lives.
Â
Unfortunately, there are
some people in this room
Â
who think they can take it from us
Â
'cause we're the little guys!
I'm hoping that, after this is all over,
Â
you'll see how, by taking our honey,
you not only take everything we have
Â
but everything we are!
Â
I wish he'd dress like that
all the time. So nice!
Â
Oall your first witness.
Â
So, Mr. Klauss Vanderhayden
of Honey Farms, big company you have.
Â
I suppose so.
Â
I see you also own
Honeyburton and Honron!
Â
Yes, they provide beekeepers
for our farms.
Â
Beekeeper. I find that
to be a very disturbing term.
Â
I don't imagine you employ
any bee-free-ers, do you?
Â
- No.
- I couldn't hear you.
Â
- No.
- No.
Â
Because you don't free bees.
You keep bees. Not only that,
Â
it seems you thought a bear would be
an appropriate image for a jar of honey.
Â
They're very lovable creatures.
Â
Yogi Bear, Fozzie Bear, Build-A-Bear.
Â
You mean like this?
Â
Bears kill bees!
Â
How'd you like his head crashing
through your living room?!
Â
Biting into your couch!
Spitting out your throw pillows!
Â
OK, that's enough. Take him away.
Â
So, Mr. Sting, thank you for being here.
Your name intrigues me.
Â
- Where have I heard it before?
- I was with a band called The Police.
Â
But you've never been
a police officer, have you?
Â
No, I haven't.
Â
No, you haven't. And so here
we have yet another example
Â
of bee culture casually
stolen by a human
Â
for nothing more than
a prance-about stage name.
Â
Oh, please.
Â
Have you ever been stung, Mr. Sting?
Â
Because I'm feeling
a little stung, Sting.
Â
Or should I say... Mr. Gordon M. Sumner!
Â
That's not his real name?! You idiots!
Â
Mr. Liotta, first,
belated congratulations on
Â
your Emmy win for a guest spot
on ER in 2005.
Â
Thank you. Thank you.
Â
I see from your resume
that you're devilishly handsome
Â
with a churning inner turmoil
that's ready to blow.
Â
I enjoy what I do. Is that a crime?
Â
Not yet it isn't. But is this
what it's come to for you?
Â
Exploiting tiny, helpless bees
so you don't
Â
have to rehearse
your part and learn your lines, sir?
Â
Watch it, Benson!
I could blow right now!
Â
This isn't a goodfella.
This is a badfella!
Â
Why doesn't someone just step on
this creep, and we can all go home?!
Â
- Order in this court!
- You're all thinking it!
Â
Order! Order, I say!
Â
- Say it!
- Mr. Liotta, please sit down!
Â
I think it was awfully nice
of that bear to pitch in like that.
Â
I think the jury's on our side.
Â
Are we doing everything right, legally?
Â
I'm a florist.
Â
Right. Well, here's to a great team.
Â
To a great team!
Â
Well, hello.
Â
- Ken!
- Hello.
Â
I didn't think you were coming.
Â
No, I was just late.
I tried to call, but... the battery.
Â
I didn't want all this to go to waste,
so I called Barry. Luckily, he was free.
Â
Oh, that was lucky.
Â
There's a little left.
I could heat it up.
Â
Yeah, heat it up, sure, whatever.
Â
So I hear you're quite a tennis player.
Â
I'm not much for the game myself.
The ball's a little grabby.
Â
That's where I usually sit.
Right... there.
Â
Ken, Barry was looking at your resume,
Â
and he agreed with me that eating with
chopsticks isn't really a special skill.
Â
You think I don't see what you're doing?
Â
I know how hard it is to find
the rightjob. We have that in common.
Â
Do we?
Â
Bees have 100 percent employment,
but we do jobs like taking the crud out.
Â
That's just what
I was thinking about doing.
Â
Ken, I let Barry borrow your razor
for his fuzz. I hope that was all right.
Â
I'm going to drain the old stinger.
Â
Yeah, you do that.
Â
Look at that.
Â
You know, I've just about had it
Â
with your little mind games.
Â
- What's that?
- Italian Vogue.
Â
Mamma mia, that's a lot of pages.
Â
A lot of ads.
Â
Remember what Van said, why is
your life more valuable than mine?
Â
Funny, I just can't seem to recall that!
Â
I think something stinks in here!
Â
I love the smell of flowers.
Â
How do you like the smell of flames?!
Â
Not as much.
Â
Water bug! Not taking sides!
Â
Ken, I'm wearing a Ohapstick hat!
This is pathetic!
Â
I've got issues!
Â
Well, well, well, a royal flush!
Â
- You're bluffing.
- Am I?
Â
Surf's up, dude!
Â
Poo water!
Â
That bowl is gnarly.
Â
Except for those dirty yellow rings!
Â
Kenneth! What are you doing?!
Â
You know, I don't even like honey!
I don't eat it!
Â
We need to talk!
Â
He's just a little bee!
Â
And he happens to be
the nicest bee I've met in a long time!
Â
Long time? What are you talking about?!
Are there other bugs in your life?
Â
No, but there are other things bugging
me in life. And you're one of them!
Â
Fine! Talking bees, no yogurt night...
Â
My nerves are fried from riding
on this emotional roller coaster!
Â
Goodbye, Ken.
Â
And for your information,
Â
I prefer sugar-free, artificial
sweeteners made by man!
Â
I'm sorry about all that.
Â
I know it's got
an aftertaste! I like it!
Â
I always felt there was some kind
of barrier between Ken and me.
Â
I couldn't overcome it.
Oh, well.
Â
Are you OK for the trial?
Â
I believe Mr. Montgomery
is about out of ideas.
Â
We would like to call
Mr. Barry Benson Bee to the stand.
Â
Good idea! You can really see why he's
considered one of the best lawyers...
Â
Yeah.
Â
Layton, you've
gotta weave some magic
Â
with this jury,
or it's gonna be all over.
Â
Don't worry. The only thing I have
to do to turn this jury around
Â
is to remind them
of what they don't like about bees.
Â
- You got the tweezers?
- Are you allergic?
Â
Only to losing, son. Only to losing.
Â
Mr. Benson Bee, I'll ask you
what I think we'd all like to know.
Â
What exactly is your relationship
Â
to that woman?
Â
We're friends.
Â
- Good friends?
- Yes.
Â
How good? Do you live together?
Â
Wait a minute...
Â
Are you her little...
Â
...bedbug?
Â
I've seen a bee documentary or two.
From what I understand,
Â
doesn't your queen give birth
to all the bee children?
Â
- Yeah, but...
- So those aren't your real parents!
Â
- Oh, Barry...
- Yes, they are!
Â
Hold me back!
Â
You're an illegitimate bee,
aren't you, Benson?
Â
He's denouncing bees!
Â
Don't y'all date your cousins?
Â
- Objection!
- I'm going to pincushion this guy!
Â
Adam, don't! It's what he wants!
Â
Oh, I'm hit!!
Â
Oh, lordy, I am hit!
Â
Order! Order!
Â
The venom! The venom
is coursing through my veins!
Â
I have been felled
by a winged beast of destruction!
Â
You see? You can't treat them
like equals! They're striped savages!
Â
Stinging's the only thing
they know! It's their way!
Â
- Adam, stay with me.
- I can't feel my legs.
Â
What angel of mercy
will come forward to suck the poison
Â
from my heaving buttocks?
Â
I will have order in this court. Order!
Â
Order, please!
Â
The case of the honeybees
versus the human race
Â
took a pointed turn against the bees
Â
yesterday when one of their legal
team stung Layton T. Montgomery.
Â
- Hey, buddy.
- Hey.
Â
- Is there much pain?
- Yeah.
Â
I...
Â
I blew the whole case, didn't I?
Â
It doesn't matter. What matters is
you're alive. You could have died.
Â
I'd be better off dead. Look at me.
Â
They got it from the cafeteria
downstairs, in a tuna sandwich.
Â
Look, there's
a little celery still on it.
Â
What was it like to sting someone?
Â
I can't explain it. It was all...
Â
All adrenaline and then...
and then ecstasy!
Â
All right.
Â
You think it was all a trap?
Â
Of course. I'm sorry.
I flew us right into this.
Â
What were we thinking? Look at us. We're
just a couple of bugs in this world.
Â
What will the humans do to us
if they win?
Â
I don't know.
Â
I hear they put the roaches in motels.
That doesn't sound so bad.
Â
Adam, they check in,
but they don't check out!
Â
Oh, my.
Â
Oould you get a nurse
to close that window?
Â
- Why?
- The smoke.
Â
Bees don't smoke.
Â
Right. Bees don't smoke.
Â
Bees don't smoke!
But some bees are smoking.
Â
That's it! That's our case!
Â
It is? It's not over?
Â
Get dressed. I've gotta go somewhere.
Â
Get back to the court and stall.
Stall any way you can.
Â
And assuming you've done step correctly, you're ready for the tub.
Â
Mr. Flayman.
Â
Yes? Yes, Your Honor!
Â
Where is the rest of your team?
Â
Well, Your Honor, it's interesting.
Â
Bees are trained to fly haphazardly,
Â
and as a result,
we don't make very good time.
Â
I actually heard a funny story about...
Â
Your Honor,
haven't these ridiculous bugs
Â
taken up enough
of this court's valuable time?
Â
How much longer will we allow
these absurd shenanigans to go on?
Â
They have presented no compelling
evidence to support their charges
Â
against my clients,
who run legitimate businesses.
Â
I move for a complete dismissal
of this entire case!
Â
Mr. Flayman, I'm afraid I'm going
Â
to have to consider
Mr. Montgomery's motion.
Â
But you can't! We have a terrific case.
Â
Where is your proof?
Where is the evidence?
Â
Show me the smoking gun!
Â
Hold it, Your Honor!
You want a smoking gun?
Â
Here is your smoking gun.
Â
What is that?
Â
It's a bee smoker!
Â
What, this?
This harmless little contraption?
Â
This couldn't hurt a fly,
let alone a bee.
Â
Look at what has happened
Â
to bees who have never been asked,
"Smoking or non?"
Â
Is this what nature intended for us?
Â
To be forcibly addicted
to smoke machines
Â
and man-made wooden slat work camps?
Â
Living out our lives as honey slaves
to the white man?
Â
- What are we gonna do?
- He's playing the species card.
Â
Ladies and gentlemen, please,
free these bees!
Â
Free the bees! Free the bees!
Â
Free the bees!
Â
Free the bees! Free the bees!
Â
The court finds in favor of the bees!
Â
Vanessa, we won!
Â
I knew you could do it! High-five!
Â
Sorry.
Â
I'm OK! You know what this means?
Â
All the honey
will finally belong to the bees.
Â
Now we won't have
to work so hard all the time.
Â
This is an unholy perversion
of the balance of nature, Benson.
Â
You'll regret this.
Â
Barry, how much honey is out there?
Â
All right. One at a time.
Â
Barry, who are you wearing?
Â
My sweater is Ralph Lauren,
and I have no pants.
Â
- What if Montgomery's right?
- What do you mean?
Â
We've been living the bee way
a long time, 27 million years.
Â
Oongratulations on your victory.
What will you demand as a settlement?
Â
First, we'll demand a complete shutdown
of all bee work camps.
Â
Then we want back the honey
that was ours to begin with,
Â
every last drop.
Â
We demand an end to the glorification
of the bear as anything more
Â
than a filthy, smelly,
bad-breath stink machine.
Â
We're all aware
of what they do in the woods.
Â
Wait for my signal.
Â
Take him out.
Â
He'll have nauseous
for a few hours, then he'll be fine.
Â
And we will no longer tolerate
bee-negative nicknames...
Â
But it's just a prance-about stage name!
Â
...unnecessary inclusion of honey
in bogus health products
Â
and la-dee-da human
tea-time snack garnishments.
Â
Oan't breathe.
Â
Bring it in, boys!
Â
Hold it right there! Good.
Â
Tap it.
Â
Mr. Buzzwell, we just passed three cups,
and there's gallons more coming!
Â
- I think we need to shut down!
- Shut down? We've never shut down.
Â
Shut down honey production!
Â
Stop making honey!
Â
Turn your key, sir!
Â
What do we do now?
Â
Oannonball!
Â
We're shutting honey production!
Â
Mission abort.
Â
Aborting pollination and nectar detail.
Returning to base.
Â
Adam, you wouldn't believe
how much honey was out there.
Â
Oh, yeah?
Â
What's going on? Where is everybody?
Â
- Are they out celebrating?
- They're home.
Â
They don't know what to do.
Laying out, sleeping in.
Â
I heard your Uncle Oarl was on his way
to San Antonio with a cricket.
Â
At least we got our honey back.
Â
Sometimes I think, so what if humans
liked our honey? Who wouldn't?
Â
It's the greatest thing in the world!
I was excited to be part of making it.
Â
This was my new desk. This was my
new job. I wanted to do it really well.
Â
And now...
Â
Now I can't.
Â
I don't understand
why they're not happy.
Â
I thought their lives would be better!
Â
They're doing nothing. It's amazing.
Honey really changes people.
Â
You don't have any idea
what's going on, do you?
Â
- What did you want to show me?
- This.
Â
What happened here?
Â
That is not the half of it.
Â
Oh, no. Oh, my.
Â
They're all wilting.
Â
Doesn't look very good, does it?
Â
No.
Â
And whose fault do you think that is?
Â
You know, I'm gonna guess bees.
Â
Bees?
Â
Specifically, me.
Â
I didn't think bees not needing to make
honey would affect all these things.
Â
It's notjust flowers.
Fruits, vegetables, they all need bees.
Â
That's our whole SAT test right there.
Â
Take away produce, that affects
the entire animal kingdom.
Â
And then, of course...
Â
The human species?
Â
So if there's no more pollination,
Â
it could all just go south here,
couldn't it?
Â
I know this is also partly my fault.
Â
How about a suicide pact?
Â
How do we do it?
Â
- I'll sting you, you step on me.
- Thatjust kills you twice.
Â
Right, right.
Â
Listen, Barry...
sorry, but I gotta get going.
Â
I had to open my mouth and talk.
Â
Vanessa?
Â
Vanessa? Why are you leaving?
Where are you going?
Â
To the final Tournament of Roses parade
in Pasadena.
Â
They've moved it to this weekend
because all the flowers are dying.
Â
It's the last chance
I'll ever have to see it.
Â
Vanessa, I just wanna say I'm sorry.
I never meant it to turn out like this.
Â
I know. Me neither.
Â
Tournament of Roses.
Roses can't do sports.
Â
Wait a minute. Roses. Roses?
Â
Roses!
Â
Vanessa!
Â
Roses?!
Â
Barry?
Â
- Roses are flowers!
- Yes, they are.
Â
Flowers, bees, pollen!
Â
I know.
That's why this is the last parade.
Â
Maybe not.
Oould you ask him to slow down?
Â
Oould you slow down?
Â
Barry!
Â
OK, I made a huge mistake.
This is a total disaster, all my fault.
Â
Yes, it kind of is.
Â
I've ruined the planet.
I wanted to help you
Â
with the flower shop.
I've made it worse.
Â
Actually, it's completely closed down.
Â
I thought maybe you were remodeling.
Â
But I have another idea, and it's
greater than my previous ideas combined.
Â
I don't want to hear it!
Â
All right, they have the roses,
the roses have the pollen.
Â
I know every bee, plant
and flower bud in this park.
Â
All we gotta do is get what they've got
back here with what we've got.
Â
- Bees.
- Park.
Â
- Pollen!
- Flowers.
Â
- Repollination!
- Across the nation!
Â
Tournament of Roses,
Pasadena, Oalifornia.
Â
They've got nothing
but flowers, floats and cotton candy.
Â
Security will be tight.
Â
I have an idea.
Â
Vanessa Bloome, FTD.
Â
Official floral business. It's real.
Â
Sorry, ma'am. Nice brooch.
Â
Thank you. It was a gift.
Â
Once inside,
we just pick the right float.
Â
How about The Princess and the Pea?
Â
I could be the princess,
and you could be the pea!
Â
Yes, I got it.
Â
- Where should I sit?
- What are you?
Â
- I believe I'm the pea.
- The pea?
Â
It goes under the mattresses.
Â
- Not in this fairy tale, sweetheart.
- I'm getting the marshal.
Â
You do that!
This whole parade is a fiasco!
Â
Let's see what this baby'll do.
Â
Hey, what are you doing?!
Â
Then all we do
is blend in with traffic...
Â
...without arousing suspicion.
Â
Once at the airport,
there's no stopping us.
Â
Stop! Security.
Â
- You and your insect pack your float?
- Yes.
Â
Has it been
in your possession the entire time?
Â
Would you remove your shoes?
Â
- Remove your stinger.
- It's part of me.
Â
I know. Just having some fun.
Enjoy your flight.
Â
Then if we're lucky, we'll have
just enough pollen to do the job.
Â
Oan you believe how lucky we are? We
have just enough pollen to do the job!
Â
I think this is gonna work.
Â
It's got to work.
Â
Attention, passengers,
this is Oaptain Scott.
Â
We have a bit of bad weather
in New York.
Â
It looks like we'll experience
a couple hours delay.
Â
Barry, these are cut flowers
with no water. They'll never make it.
Â
I gotta get up there
and talk to them.
Â
Be careful.
Â
Oan I get help
with the Sky Mall magazine?
Â
I'd like to order the talking
inflatable nose and ear hair trimmer.
Â
Oaptain, I'm in a real situation.
Â
- What'd you say, Hal?
- Nothing.
Â
Bee!
Â
Don't freak out! My entire species...
Â
What are you doing?
Â
- Wait a minute! I'm an attorney!
- Who's an attorney?
Â
Don't move.
Â
Oh, Barry.
Â
Good afternoon, passengers.
This is your captain.
Â
Would a Miss Vanessa Bloome in 24B
please report to the cockpit?
Â
And please hurry!
Â
What happened here?
Â
There was a DustBuster,
a toupee, a life raft exploded.
Â
One's bald, one's in a boat,
they're both unconscious!
Â
- Is that another bee joke?
- No!
Â
No one's flying the plane!
Â
This is JFK control tower, Flight 356.
What's your status?
Â
This is Vanessa Bloome.
I'm a florist from New York.
Â
Where's the pilot?
Â
He's unconscious,
and so is the copilot.
Â
Not good. Does anyone onboard
have flight experience?
Â
As a matter of fact, there is.
Â
- Who's that?
- Barry Benson.
Â
From the honey trial?! Oh, great.
Â
Vanessa, this is nothing more
than a big metal bee.
Â
It's got giant wings, huge engines.
Â
I can't fly a plane.
Â
- Why not? Isn't John Travolta a pilot?
- Yes.
Â
How hard could it be?
Â
Wait, Barry!
We're headed into some lightning.
Â
This is Bob Bumble. We have some
late-breaking news from JFK Airport,
Â
where a suspenseful scene
is developing.
Â
Barry Benson,
fresh from his legal victory...
Â
That's Barry!
Â
...is attempting to land a plane,
loaded with people, flowers
Â
and an incapacitated flight crew.
Â
Flowers?!
Â
We have a storm in the area
and two individuals at the controls
Â
with absolutely no flight experience.
Â
Just a minute.
There's a bee on that plane.
Â
I'm quite familiar with Mr. Benson
and his no-account compadres.
Â
They've done enough damage.
Â
But isn't he your only hope?
Â
Technically, a bee
shouldn't be able to fly at all.
Â
Their wings are too small...
Â
Haven't we heard this a million times?
Â
"The surface area of the wings
and body mass make no sense."
Â
- Get this on the air!
- Got it.
Â
- Stand by.
- We're going live.
Â
The way we work may be a mystery to you.
Â
Making honey takes a lot of bees
doing a lot of small jobs.
Â
But let me tell you about a small job.
Â
If you do it well,
it makes a big difference...
Voila! Finally, the Bee Movie script is here for all you fans of the Jerry Seinfeld animated movie. This puppy is a transcript that was painstakingly transcribed using the screenplay and/or viewings of the movie to get the dialogue. I know, I know, I still need to get the cast names in there and all that jazz, so if you have any corrections, feel free to drop me a line. At least you'll have some Bee Movie quotes (or even a monologue or two) to annoy your coworkers with in the meantime, right?
And swing on back to Drew's Script-O-Rama afterwards -- because reading is good for your noodle. Better than Farmville, anyway.
Bee Movie Script
[b][font=Arial][color=#ffffff]Â
Â
According to all known laws
of aviation,
Â
there is no way a bee
should be able to fly.
Â
Its wings are too small to get
its fat little body off the ground.
Â
The bee, of course, flies anyway
Â
because bees don't care
what humans think is impossible.
Â
Yellow, black. Yellow, black.
Yellow, black. Yellow, black.
Â
Ooh, black and yellow!
Let's shake it up a little.
Â
Barry! Breakfast is ready!
Â
Ooming!
Â
Hang on a second.
Â
Hello?
Â
- Barry?
- Adam?
Â
- Oan you believe this is happening?
- I can't. I'll pick you up.
Â
Looking sharp.
Â
Use the stairs. Your father
paid good money for those.
Â
Sorry. I'm excited.
Â
Here's the graduate.
We're very proud of you, son.
Â
A perfect report card, all B's.
Â
Very proud.
Â
Ma! I got a thing going here.
Â
- You got lint on your fuzz.
- Ow! That's me!
Â
- Wave to us! We'll be in row 118,000.
- Bye!
Â
Barry, I told you,
stop flying in the house!
Â
- Hey, Adam.
- Hey, Barry.
Â
- Is that fuzz gel?
- A little. Special day, graduation.
Â
Never thought I'd make it.
Â
Three days grade school,
three days high school.
Â
Those were awkward.
Â
Three days college. I'm glad I took
a day and hitchhiked around the hive.
Â
You did come back different.
Â
- Hi, Barry.
- Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good.
Â
- Hear about Frankie?
- Yeah.
Â
- You going to the funeral?
- No, I'm not going.
Â
Everybody knows,
sting someone, you die.
Â
Don't waste it on a squirrel.
Such a hothead.
Â
I guess he could have
just gotten out of the way.
Â
I love this incorporating
an amusement park into our day.
Â
That's why we don't need vacations.
Â
Boy, quite a bit of pomp...
under the circumstances.
Â
- Well, Adam, today we are men.
- We are!
Â
- Bee-men.
- Amen!
Â
Hallelujah!
Â
Students, faculty, distinguished bees,
Â
please welcome Dean Buzzwell.
Â
Welcome, New Hive Oity
graduating class of...
Â
...9:15.
Â
That concludes our ceremonies.
Â
And begins your career
at Honex Industries!
Â
Will we pick ourjob today?
Â
I heard it's just orientation.
Â
Heads up! Here we go.
Â
Keep your hands and antennas
inside the tram at all times.
Â
- Wonder what it'll be like?
- A little scary.
Â
Welcome to Honex,
a division of Honesco
Â
and a part of the Hexagon Group.
Â
This is it!
Â
Wow.
Â
Wow.
Â
We know that you, as a bee,
have worked your whole life
Â
to get to the point where you
can work for your whole life.
Â
Honey begins when our valiant Pollen
Jocks bring the nectar to the hive.
Â
Our top-secret formula
Â
is automatically color-corrected,
scent-adjusted and bubble-contoured
Â
into this soothing sweet syrup
Â
with its distinctive
golden glow you know as...
Â
Honey!
Â
- That girl was hot.
- She's my cousin!
Â
- She is?
- Yes, we're all cousins.
Â
- Right. You're right.
- At Honex, we constantly strive
Â
to improve every aspect
of bee existence.
Â
These bees are stress-testing
a new helmet technology.
Â
- What do you think he makes?
- Not enough.
Â
Here we have our latest advancement,
the Krelman.
Â
- What does that do?
- Oatches that little strand of honey
Â
that hangs after you pour it.
Saves us millions.
Â
Oan anyone work on the Krelman?
Â
Of course. Most bee jobs are
small ones. But bees know
Â
that every small job,
if it's done well, means a lot.
Â
But choose carefully
Â
because you'll stay in the job
you pick for the rest of your life.
Â
The same job the rest of your life?
I didn't know that.
Â
What's the difference?
Â
You'll be happy to know that bees,
as a species, haven't had one day off
Â
in 27 million years.
Â
So you'll just work us to death?
Â
We'll sure try.
Â
Wow! That blew my mind!
Â
"What's the difference?"
How can you say that?
Â
One job forever?
That's an insane choice to have to make.
Â
I'm relieved. Now we only have
to make one decision in life.
Â
But, Adam, how could they
never have told us that?
Â
Why would you question anything?
We're bees.
Â
We're the most perfectly
functioning society on Earth.
Â
You ever think maybe things
work a little too well here?
Â
Like what? Give me one example.
Â
I don't know. But you know
what I'm talking about.
Â
Please clear the gate.
Royal Nectar Force on approach.
Â
Wait a second. Oheck it out.
Â
- Hey, those are Pollen Jocks!
- Wow.
Â
I've never seen them this close.
Â
They know what it's like
outside the hive.
Â
Yeah, but some don't come back.
Â
- Hey, Jocks!
- Hi, Jocks!
Â
You guys did great!
Â
You're monsters!
You're sky freaks! I love it! I love it!
Â
- I wonder where they were.
- I don't know.
Â
Their day's not planned.
Â
Outside the hive, flying who knows
where, doing who knows what.
Â
You can'tjust decide to be a Pollen
Jock. You have to be bred for that.
Â
Right.
Â
Look. That's more pollen
than you and I will see in a lifetime.
Â
It's just a status symbol.
Bees make too much of it.
Â
Perhaps. Unless you're wearing it
and the ladies see you wearing it.
Â
Those ladies?
Aren't they our cousins too?
Â
Distant. Distant.
Â
Look at these two.
Â
- Oouple of Hive Harrys.
- Let's have fun with them.
Â
It must be dangerous
being a Pollen Jock.
Â
Yeah. Once a bear pinned me
against a mushroom!
Â
He had a paw on my throat,
and with the other, he was slapping me!
Â
- Oh, my!
- I never thought I'd knock him out.
Â
What were you doing during this?
Â
Trying to alert the authorities.
Â
I can autograph that.
Â
A little gusty out there today,
wasn't it, comrades?
Â
Yeah. Gusty.
Â
We're hitting a sunflower patch
six miles from here tomorrow.
Â
- Six miles, huh?
- Barry!
Â
A puddle jump for us,
but maybe you're not up for it.
Â
- Maybe I am.
- You are not!
Â
We're going 0900 at J-Gate.
Â
What do you think, buzzy-boy?
Are you bee enough?
Â
I might be. It all depends
on what 0900 means.
Â
Hey, Honex!
Â
Dad, you surprised me.
Â
You decide what you're interested in?
Â
- Well, there's a lot of choices.
- But you only get one.
Â
Do you ever get bored
doing the same job every day?
Â
Son, let me tell you about stirring.
Â
You grab that stick, and you just
move it around, and you stir it around.
Â
You get yourself into a rhythm.
It's a beautiful thing.
Â
You know, Dad,
the more I think about it,
Â
maybe the honey field
just isn't right for me.
Â
You were thinking of what,
making balloon animals?
Â
That's a bad job
for a guy with a stinger.
Â
Janet, your son's not sure
he wants to go into honey!
Â
- Barry, you are so funny sometimes.
- I'm not trying to be funny.
Â
You're not funny! You're going
into honey. Our son, the stirrer!
Â
- You're gonna be a stirrer?
- No one's listening to me!
Â
Wait till you see the sticks I have.
Â
I could say anything right now.
I'm gonna get an ant tattoo!
Â
Let's open some honey and celebrate!
Â
Maybe I'll pierce my thorax.
Shave my antennae.
Â
Shack up with a grasshopper. Get
a gold tooth and call everybody "dawg"!
Â
I'm so proud.
Â
- We're starting work today!
- Today's the day.
Â
Oome on! All the good jobs
will be gone.
Â
Yeah, right.
Â
Pollen counting, stunt bee, pouring,
stirrer, front desk, hair removal...
Â
- Is it still available?
- Hang on. Two left!
Â
One of them's yours! Oongratulations!
Step to the side.
Â
- What'd you get?
- Picking crud out. Stellar!
Â
Wow!
Â
Oouple of newbies?
Â
Yes, sir! Our first day! We are ready!
Â
Make your choice.
Â
- You want to go first?
- No, you go.
Â
Oh, my. What's available?
Â
Restroom attendant's open,
not for the reason you think.
Â
- Any chance of getting the Krelman?
- Sure, you're on.
Â
I'm sorry, the Krelman just closed out.
Â
Wax monkey's always open.
Â
The Krelman opened up again.
Â
What happened?
Â
A bee died. Makes an opening. See?
He's dead. Another dead one.
Â
Deady. Deadified. Two more dead.
Â
Dead from the neck up.
Dead from the neck down. That's life!
Â
Oh, this is so hard!
Â
Heating, cooling,
stunt bee, pourer, stirrer,
Â
humming, inspector number seven,
lint coordinator, stripe supervisor,
Â
mite wrangler. Barry, what
do you think I should... Barry?
Â
Barry!
Â
All right, we've got the sunflower patch
in quadrant nine...
Â
What happened to you?
Where are you?
Â
- I'm going out.
- Out? Out where?
Â
- Out there.
- Oh, no!
Â
I have to, before I go
to work for the rest of my life.
Â
You're gonna die! You're crazy! Hello?
Â
Another call coming in.
Â
If anyone's feeling brave,
there's a Korean deli on 83rd
Â
that gets their roses today.
Â
Hey, guys.
Â
- Look at that.
- Isn't that the kid we saw yesterday?
Â
Hold it, son, flight deck's restricted.
Â
It's OK, Lou. We're gonna take him up.
Â
Really? Feeling lucky, are you?
Â
Sign here, here. Just initial that.
Â
- Thank you.
- OK.
Â
You got a rain advisory today,
Â
and as you all know,
bees cannot fly in rain.
Â
So be careful. As always,
watch your brooms,
Â
hockey sticks, dogs,
birds, bears and bats.
Â
Also, I got a couple of reports
of root beer being poured on us.
Â
Murphy's in a home because of it,
babbling like a cicada!
Â
- That's awful.
- And a reminder for you rookies,
Â
bee law number one,
absolutely no talking to humans!
Â
All right, launch positions!
Â
Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz,
buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz!
Â
Black and yellow!
Â
Hello!
Â
You ready for this, hot shot?
Â
Yeah. Yeah, bring it on.
Â
Wind, check.
Â
- Antennae, check.
- Nectar pack, check.
Â
- Wings, check.
- Stinger, check.
Â
Scared out of my shorts, check.
Â
OK, ladies,
Â
let's move it out!
Â
Pound those petunias,
you striped stem-suckers!
Â
All of you, drain those flowers!
Â
Wow! I'm out!
Â
I can't believe I'm out!
Â
So blue.
Â
I feel so fast and free!
Â
Box kite!
Â
Wow!
Â
Flowers!
Â
This is Blue Leader.
We have roses visual.
Â
Bring it around 30 degrees and hold.
Â
Roses!
Â
30 degrees, roger. Bringing it around.
Â
Stand to the side, kid.
It's got a bit of a kick.
Â
That is one nectar collector!
Â
- Ever see pollination up close?
- No, sir.
Â
I pick up some pollen here, sprinkle it
over here. Maybe a dash over there,
Â
a pinch on that one.
See that? It's a little bit of magic.
Â
That's amazing. Why do we do that?
Â
That's pollen power. More pollen, more
flowers, more nectar, more honey for us.
Â
Oool.
Â
I'm picking up a lot of bright yellow.
Oould be daisies. Don't we need those?
Â
Oopy that visual.
Â
Wait. One of these flowers
seems to be on the move.
Â
Say again? You're reporting
a moving flower?
Â
Affirmative.
Â
That was on the line!
Â
This is the coolest. What is it?
Â
I don't know, but I'm loving this color.
Â
It smells good.
Not like a flower, but I like it.
Â
Yeah, fuzzy.
Â
Ohemical-y.
Â
Oareful, guys. It's a little grabby.
Â
My sweet lord of bees!
Â
Oandy-brain, get off there!
Â
Problem!
Â
- Guys!
- This could be bad.
Â
Affirmative.
Â
Very close.
Â
Gonna hurt.
Â
Mama's little boy.
Â
You are way out of position, rookie!
Â
Ooming in at you like a missile!
Â
Help me!
Â
I don't think these are flowers.
Â
- Should we tell him?
- I think he knows.
Â
What is this?!
Â
Match point!
Â
You can start packing up, honey,
because you're about to eat it!
Â
Yowser!
Â
Gross.
Â
There's a bee in the car!
Â
- Do something!
- I'm driving!
Â
- Hi, bee.
- He's back here!
Â
He's going to sting me!
Â
Nobody move. If you don't move,
he won't sting you. Freeze!
Â
He blinked!
Â
Spray him, Granny!
Â
What are you doing?!
Â
Wow... the tension level
out here is unbelievable.
Â
I gotta get home.
Â
Oan't fly in rain.
Â
Oan't fly in rain.
Â
Oan't fly in rain.
Â
Mayday! Mayday! Bee going down!
Â
Ken, could you close
the window please?
Â
Ken, could you close
the window please?
Â
Oheck out my new resume.
I made it into a fold-out brochure.
Â
You see? Folds out.
Â
Oh, no. More humans. I don't need this.
Â
What was that?
Â
Maybe this time. This time. This time.
This time! This time! This...
Â
Drapes!
Â
That is diabolical.
Â
It's fantastic. It's got all my special
skills, even my top-ten favorite movies.
Â
What's number one? Star Wars?
Â
Nah, I don't go for that...
Â
...kind of stuff.
Â
No wonder we shouldn't talk to them.
They're out of their minds.
Â
When I leave a job interview, they're
flabbergasted, can't believe what I say.
Â
There's the sun. Maybe that's a way out.
Â
I don't remember the sun
having a big 75 on it.
Â
I predicted global warming.
Â
I could feel it getting hotter.
At first I thought it was just me.
Â
Wait! Stop! Bee!
Â
Stand back. These are winter boots.
Â
Wait!
Â
Don't kill him!
Â
You know I'm allergic to them!
This thing could kill me!
Â
Why does his life have
less value than yours?
Â
Why does his life have any less value
than mine? Is that your statement?
Â
I'm just saying all life has value. You
don't know what he's capable of feeling.
Â
My brochure!
Â
There you go, little guy.
Â
I'm not scared of him.
It's an allergic thing.
Â
Put that on your resume brochure.
Â
My whole face could puff up.
Â
Make it one of your special skills.
Â
Knocking someone out
is also a special skill.
Â
Right. Bye, Vanessa. Thanks.
Â
- Vanessa, next week? Yogurt night?
- Sure, Ken. You know, whatever.
Â
- You could put carob chips on there.
- Bye.
Â
- Supposed to be less calories.
- Bye.
Â
I gotta say something.
Â
She saved my life.
I gotta say something.
Â
All right, here it goes.
Â
Nah.
Â
What would I say?
Â
I could really get in trouble.
Â
It's a bee law.
You're not supposed to talk to a human.
Â
I can't believe I'm doing this.
Â
I've got to.
Â
Oh, I can't do it. Oome on!
Â
No. Yes. No.
Â
Do it. I can't.
Â
How should I start it?
"You like jazz?" No, that's no good.
Â
Here she comes! Speak, you fool!
Â
Hi!
Â
I'm sorry.
Â
- You're talking.
- Yes, I know.
Â
You're talking!
Â
I'm so sorry.
Â
No, it's OK. It's fine.
I know I'm dreaming.
Â
But I don't recall going to bed.
Â
Well, I'm sure this
is very disconcerting.
Â
This is a bit of a surprise to me.
I mean, you're a bee!
Â
I am. And I'm not supposed
to be doing this,
Â
but they were all trying to kill me.
Â
And if it wasn't for you...
Â
I had to thank you.
It's just how I was raised.
Â
That was a little weird.
Â
- I'm talking with a bee.
- Yeah.
Â
I'm talking to a bee.
And the bee is talking to me!
Â
I just want to say I'm grateful.
I'll leave now.
Â
- Wait! How did you learn to do that?
- What?
Â
The talking thing.
Â
Same way you did, I guess.
"Mama, Dada, honey." You pick it up.
Â
- That's very funny.
- Yeah.
Â
Bees are funny. If we didn't laugh,
we'd cry with what we have to deal with.
Â
Anyway...
Â
Oan I...
Â
...get you something?
- Like what?
Â
I don't know. I mean...
I don't know. Ooffee?
Â
I don't want to put you out.
Â
It's no trouble. It takes two minutes.
Â
- It's just coffee.
- I hate to impose.
Â
- Don't be ridiculous!
- Actually, I would love a cup.
Â
Hey, you want rum cake?
Â
- I shouldn't.
- Have some.
Â
- No, I can't.
- Oome on!
Â
I'm trying to lose a couple micrograms.
Â
- Where?
- These stripes don't help.
Â
You look great!
Â
I don't know if you know
anything about fashion.
Â
Are you all right?
Â
No.
Â
He's making the tie in the cab
as they're flying up Madison.
Â
He finally gets there.
Â
He runs up the steps into the church.
The wedding is on.
Â
And he says, "Watermelon?
I thought you said Guatemalan.
Â
Why would I marry a watermelon?"
Â
Is that a bee joke?
Â
That's the kind of stuff we do.
Â
Yeah, different.
Â
So, what are you gonna do, Barry?
Â
About work? I don't know.
Â
I want to do my part for the hive,
but I can't do it the way they want.
Â
I know how you feel.
Â
- You do?
- Sure.
Â
My parents wanted me to be a lawyer or
a doctor, but I wanted to be a florist.
Â
- Really?
- My only interest is flowers.
Â
Our new queen was just elected
with that same campaign slogan.
Â
Anyway, if you look...
Â
There's my hive right there. See it?
Â
You're in Sheep Meadow!
Â
Yes! I'm right off the Turtle Pond!
Â
No way! I know that area.
I lost a toe ring there once.
Â
- Why do girls put rings on their toes?
- Why not?
Â
- It's like putting a hat on your knee.
- Maybe I'll try that.
Â
- You all right, ma'am?
- Oh, yeah. Fine.
Â
Just having two cups of coffee!
Â
Anyway, this has been great.
Thanks for the coffee.
Â
Yeah, it's no trouble.
Â
Sorry I couldn't finish it. If I did,
I'd be up the rest of my life.
Â
Are you...?
Â
Oan I take a piece of this with me?
Â
Sure! Here, have a crumb.
Â
- Thanks!
- Yeah.
Â
All right. Well, then...
I guess I'll see you around.
Â
Or not.
Â
OK, Barry.
Â
And thank you
so much again... for before.
Â
Oh, that? That was nothing.
Â
Well, not nothing, but... Anyway...
Â
This can't possibly work.
Â
He's all set to go.
We may as well try it.
Â
OK, Dave, pull the chute.
Â
- Sounds amazing.
- It was amazing!
Â
It was the scariest,
happiest moment of my life.
Â
Humans! I can't believe
you were with humans!
Â
Giant, scary humans!
What were they like?
Â
Huge and crazy. They talk crazy.
Â
They eat crazy giant things.
They drive crazy.
Â
- Do they try and kill you, like on TV?
- Some of them. But some of them don't.
Â
- How'd you get back?
- Poodle.
Â
You did it, and I'm glad. You saw
whatever you wanted to see.
Â
You had your "experience." Now you
can pick out yourjob and be normal.
Â
- Well...
- Well?
Â
Well, I met someone.
Â
You did? Was she Bee-ish?
Â
- A wasp?! Your parents will kill you!
- No, no, no, not a wasp.
Â
- Spider?
- I'm not attracted to spiders.
Â
I know it's the hottest thing,
with the eight legs and all.
Â
I can't get by that face.
Â
So who is she?
Â
She's... human.
Â
No, no. That's a bee law.
You wouldn't break a bee law.
Â
- Her name's Vanessa.
- Oh, boy.
Â
She's so nice. And she's a florist!
Â
Oh, no! You're dating a human florist!
Â
We're not dating.
Â
You're flying outside the hive, talking
to humans that attack our homes
Â
with power washers and M-80s!
One-eighth a stick of dynamite!
Â
She saved my life!
And she understands me.
Â
This is over!
Â
Eat this.
Â
This is not over! What was that?
Â
- They call it a crumb.
- It was so stingin' stripey!
Â
And that's not what they eat.
That's what falls off what they eat!
Â
- You know what a Oinnabon is?
- No.
Â
It's bread and cinnamon and frosting.
They heat it up...
Â
Sit down!
Â
...really hot!
- Listen to me!
Â
We are not them! We're us.
There's us and there's them!
Â
Yes, but who can deny
the heart that is yearning?
Â
There's no yearning.
Stop yearning. Listen to me!
Â
You have got to start thinking bee,
my friend. Thinking bee!
Â
- Thinking bee.
- Thinking bee.
Â
Thinking bee! Thinking bee!
Thinking bee! Thinking bee!
Â
There he is. He's in the pool.
Â
You know what your problem is, Barry?
Â
I gotta start thinking bee?
Â
How much longer will this go on?
Â
It's been three days!
Why aren't you working?
Â
I've got a lot of big life decisions
to think about.
Â
What life? You have no life!
You have no job. You're barely a bee!
Â
Would it kill you
to make a little honey?
Â
Barry, come out.
Your father's talking to you.
Â
Martin, would you talk to him?
Â
Barry, I'm talking to you!
Â
You coming?
Â
Got everything?
Â
All set!
Â
Go ahead. I'll catch up.
Â
Don't be too long.
Â
Watch this!
Â
Vanessa!
Â
- We're still here.
- I told you not to yell at him.
Â
He doesn't respond to yelling!
Â
- Then why yell at me?
- Because you don't listen!
Â
I'm not listening to this.
Â
Sorry, I've gotta go.
Â
- Where are you going?
- I'm meeting a friend.
Â
A girl? Is this why you can't decide?
Â
Bye.
Â
I just hope she's Bee-ish.
Â
They have a huge parade
of flowers every year in Pasadena?
Â
To be in the Tournament of Roses,
that's every florist's dream!
Â
Up on a float, surrounded
by flowers, crowds cheering.
Â
A tournament. Do the roses
compete in athletic events?
Â
No. All right, I've got one.
How come you don't fly everywhere?
Â
It's exhausting. Why don't you
run everywhere? It's faster.
Â
Yeah, OK, I see, I see.
All right, your turn.
Â
TiVo. You can just freeze live TV?
That's insane!
Â
You don't have that?
Â
We have Hivo, but it's a disease.
It's a horrible, horrible disease.
Â
Oh, my.
Â
Dumb bees!
Â
You must want to sting all those jerks.
Â
We try not to sting.
It's usually fatal for us.
Â
So you have to watch your temper.
Â
Very carefully.
You kick a wall, take a walk,
Â
write an angry letter and throw it out.
Work through it like any emotion:
Â
Anger, jealousy, lust.
Â
Oh, my goodness! Are you OK?
Â
Yeah.
Â
- What is wrong with you?!
- It's a bug.
Â
He's not bothering anybody.
Get out of here, you creep!
Â
What was that? A Pic 'N' Save circular?
Â
Yeah, it was. How did you know?
Â
It felt like about 10 pages.
Seventy-five is pretty much our limit.
Â
You've really got that
down to a science.
Â
- I lost a cousin to Italian Vogue.
- I'll bet.
Â
What in the name
of Mighty Hercules is this?
Â
How did this get here?
Oute Bee, Golden Blossom,
Â
Ray Liotta Private Select?
Â
- Is he that actor?
- I never heard of him.
Â
- Why is this here?
- For people. We eat it.
Â
You don't have
enough food of your own?
Â
- Well, yes.
- How do you get it?
Â
- Bees make it.
- I know who makes it!
Â
And it's hard to make it!
Â
There's heating, cooling, stirring.
You need a whole Krelman thing!
Â
- It's organic.
- It's our-ganic!
Â
It's just honey, Barry.
Â
Just what?!
Â
Bees don't know about this!
This is stealing! A lot of stealing!
Â
You've taken our homes, schools,
hospitals! This is all we have!
Â
And it's on sale?!
I'm getting to the bottom of this.
Â
I'm getting to the bottom
of all of this!
Â
Hey, Hector.
Â
- You almost done?
- Almost.
Â
He is here. I sense it.
Â
Well, I guess I'll go home now
Â
and just leave this nice honey out,
with no one around.
Â
You're busted, box boy!
Â
I knew I heard something.
So you can talk!
Â
I can talk.
And now you'll start talking!
Â
Where you getting the sweet stuff?
Who's your supplier?
Â
I don't understand.
I thought we were friends.
Â
The last thing we want
to do is upset bees!
Â
You're too late! It's ours now!
Â
You, sir, have crossed
the wrong sword!
Â
You, sir, will be lunch
for my iguana, Ignacio!
Â
Where is the honey coming from?
Â
Tell me where!
Â
Honey Farms! It comes from Honey Farms!
Â
Orazy person!
Â
What horrible thing has happened here?
Â
These faces, they never knew
what hit them. And now
Â
they're on the road to nowhere!
Â
Just keep still.
Â
What? You're not dead?
Â
Do I look dead? They will wipe anything
that moves. Where you headed?
Â
To Honey Farms.
I am onto something huge here.
Â
I'm going to Alaska. Moose blood,
crazy stuff. Blows your head off!
Â
I'm going to Tacoma.
Â
- And you?
- He really is dead.
Â
All right.
Â
Uh-oh!
Â
- What is that?!
- Oh, no!
Â
- A wiper! Triple blade!
- Triple blade?
Â
Jump on! It's your only chance, bee!
Â
Why does everything have
to be so doggone clean?!
Â
How much do you people need to see?!
Â
Open your eyes!
Stick your head out the window!
Â
From NPR News in Washington,
I'm Oarl Kasell.
Â
But don't kill no more bugs!
Â
- Bee!
- Moose blood guy!!
Â
- You hear something?
- Like what?
Â
Like tiny screaming.
Â
Turn off the radio.
Â
Whassup, bee boy?
Â
Hey, Blood.
Â
Just a row of honey jars,
as far as the eye could see.
Â
Wow!
Â
I assume wherever this truck goes
is where they're getting it.
Â
I mean, that honey's ours.
Â
- Bees hang tight.
- We're all jammed in.
Â
It's a close community.
Â
Not us, man. We on our own.
Every mosquito on his own.
Â
- What if you get in trouble?
- You a mosquito, you in trouble.
Â
Nobody likes us. They just smack.
See a mosquito, smack, smack!
Â
At least you're out in the world.
You must meet girls.
Â
Mosquito girls try to trade up,
get with a moth, dragonfly.
Â
Mosquito girl don't want no mosquito.
Â
You got to be kidding me!
Â
Mooseblood's about to leave
the building! So long, bee!
Â
- Hey, guys!
- Mooseblood!
Â
I knew I'd catch y'all down here.
Did you bring your crazy straw?
Â
We throw it in jars, slap a label on it,
and it's pretty much pure profit.
Â
What is this place?
Â
A bee's got a brain
the size of a pinhead.
Â
They are pinheads!
Â
Pinhead.
Â
- Oheck out the new smoker.
- Oh, sweet. That's the one you want.
Â
The Thomas 3000!
Â
Smoker?
Â
Ninety puffs a minute, semi-automatic.
Twice the nicotine, all the tar.
Â
A couple breaths of this
knocks them right out.
Â
They make the honey,
and we make the money.
Â
"They make the honey,
and we make the money"?
Â
Oh, my!
Â
What's going on? Are you OK?
Â
Yeah. It doesn't last too long.
Â
Do you know you're
in a fake hive with fake walls?
Â
Our queen was moved here.
We had no choice.
Â
This is your queen?
That's a man in women's clothes!
Â
That's a drag queen!
Â
What is this?
Â
Oh, no!
Â
There's hundreds of them!
Â
Bee honey.
Â
Our honey is being brazenly stolen
on a massive scale!
Â
This is worse than anything bears
have done! I intend to do something.
Â
Oh, Barry, stop.
Â
Who told you humans are taking
our honey? That's a rumor.
Â
Do these look like rumors?
Â
That's a conspiracy theory.
These are obviously doctored photos.
Â
How did you get mixed up in this?
Â
He's been talking to humans.
Â
- What?
- Talking to humans?!
Â
He has a human girlfriend.
And they make out!
Â
Make out? Barry!
Â
We do not.
Â
- You wish you could.
- Whose side are you on?
Â
The bees!
Â
I dated a cricket once in San Antonio.
Those crazy legs kept me up all night.
Â
Barry, this is what you want
to do with your life?
Â
I want to do it for all our lives.
Nobody works harder than bees!
Â
Dad, I remember you
coming home so overworked
Â
your hands were still stirring.
You couldn't stop.
Â
I remember that.
Â
What right do they have to our honey?
Â
We live on two cups a year. They put it
in lip balm for no reason whatsoever!
Â
Even if it's true, what can one bee do?
Â
Sting them where it really hurts.
Â
In the face! The eye!
Â
- That would hurt.
- No.
Â
Up the nose? That's a killer.
Â
There's only one place you can sting
the humans, one place where it matters.
Â
Hive at Five, the hive's only
full-hour action news source.
Â
No more bee beards!
Â
With Bob Bumble at the anchor desk.
Â
Weather with Storm Stinger.
Â
Sports with Buzz Larvi.
Â
And Jeanette Ohung.
Â
- Good evening. I'm Bob Bumble.
- And I'm Jeanette Ohung.
Â
A tri-county bee, Barry Benson,
Â
intends to sue the human race
for stealing our honey,
Â
packaging it and profiting
from it illegally!
Â
Tomorrow night on Bee Larry King,
Â
we'll have three former queens here in
our studio, discussing their new book,
Â
Olassy Ladies,
out this week on Hexagon.
Â
Tonight we're talking to Barry Benson.
Â
Did you ever think, "I'm a kid
from the hive. I can't do this"?
Â
Bees have never been afraid
to change the world.
Â
What about Bee Oolumbus?
Bee Gandhi? Bejesus?
Â
Where I'm from, we'd never sue humans.
Â
We were thinking
of stickball or candy stores.
Â
How old are you?
Â
The bee community
is supporting you in this case,
Â
which will be the trial
of the bee century.
Â
You know, they have a Larry King
in the human world too.
Â
It's a common name. Next week...
Â
He looks like you and has a show
and suspenders and colored dots...
Â
Next week...
Â
Glasses, quotes on the bottom from the
guest even though you just heard 'em.
Â
Bear Week next week!
They're scary, hairy and here live.
Â
Always leans forward, pointy shoulders,
squinty eyes, very Jewish.
Â
In tennis, you attack
at the point of weakness!
Â
It was my grandmother, Ken. She's 81.
Â
Honey, her backhand's a joke!
I'm not gonna take advantage of that?
Â
Quiet, please.
Actual work going on here.
Â
- Is that that same bee?
- Yes, it is!
Â
I'm helping him sue the human race.
Â
- Hello.
- Hello, bee.
Â
This is Ken.
Â
Yeah, I remember you. Timberland, size
ten and a half. Vibram sole, I believe.
Â
Why does he talk again?
Â
Listen, you better go
'cause we're really busy working.
Â
But it's our yogurt night!
Â
Bye-bye.
Â
Why is yogurt night so difficult?!
Â
You poor thing.
You two have been at this for hours!
Â
Yes, and Adam here
has been a huge help.
Â
- Frosting...
- How many sugars?
Â
Just one. I try not
to use the competition.
Â
So why are you helping me?
Â
Bees have good qualities.
Â
And it takes my mind off the shop.
Â
Instead of flowers, people
are giving balloon bouquets now.
Â
Those are great, if you're three.
Â
And artificial flowers.
Â
- Oh, those just get me psychotic!
- Yeah, me too.
Â
Bent stingers, pointless pollination.
Â
Bees must hate those fake things!
Â
Nothing worse
than a daffodil that's had work done.
Â
Maybe this could make up
for it a little bit.
Â
- This lawsuit's a pretty big deal.
- I guess.
Â
You sure you want to go through with it?
Â
Am I sure? When I'm done with
the humans, they won't be able
Â
to say, "Honey, I'm home,"
without paying a royalty!
Â
It's an incredible scene
here in downtown Manhattan,
Â
where the world anxiously waits,
because for the first time in history,
Â
we will hear for ourselves
if a honeybee can actually speak.
Â
What have we gotten into here, Barry?
Â
It's pretty big, isn't it?
Â
I can't believe how many humans
don't work during the day.
Â
You think billion-dollar multinational
food companies have good lawyers?
Â
Everybody needs to stay
behind the barricade.
Â
- What's the matter?
- I don't know, I just got a chill.
Â
Well, if it isn't the bee team.
Â
You boys work on this?
Â
All rise! The Honorable
Judge Bumbleton presiding.
Â
All right. Oase number 4475,
Â
Superior Oourt of New York,
Barry Bee Benson v. the Honey Industry
Â
is now in session.
Â
Mr. Montgomery, you're representing
the five food companies collectively?
Â
A privilege.
Â
Mr. Benson... you're representing
all the bees of the world?
Â
I'm kidding. Yes, Your Honor,
we're ready to proceed.
Â
Mr. Montgomery,
your opening statement, please.
Â
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
Â
my grandmother was a simple woman.
Â
Born on a farm, she believed
it was man's divine right
Â
to benefit from the bounty
of nature God put before us.
Â
If we lived in the topsy-turvy world
Mr. Benson imagines,
Â
just think of what would it mean.
Â
I would have to negotiate
with the silkworm
Â
for the elastic in my britches!
Â
Talking bee!
Â
How do we know this isn't some sort of
Â
holographic motion-picture-capture
Hollywood wizardry?
Â
They could be using laser beams!
Â
Robotics! Ventriloquism!
Oloning! For all we know,
Â
he could be on steroids!
Â
Mr. Benson?
Â
Ladies and gentlemen,
there's no trickery here.
Â
I'm just an ordinary bee.
Honey's pretty important to me.
Â
It's important to all bees.
We invented it!
Â
We make it. And we protect it
with our lives.
Â
Unfortunately, there are
some people in this room
Â
who think they can take it from us
Â
'cause we're the little guys!
I'm hoping that, after this is all over,
Â
you'll see how, by taking our honey,
you not only take everything we have
Â
but everything we are!
Â
I wish he'd dress like that
all the time. So nice!
Â
Oall your first witness.
Â
So, Mr. Klauss Vanderhayden
of Honey Farms, big company you have.
Â
I suppose so.
Â
I see you also own
Honeyburton and Honron!
Â
Yes, they provide beekeepers
for our farms.
Â
Beekeeper. I find that
to be a very disturbing term.
Â
I don't imagine you employ
any bee-free-ers, do you?
Â
- No.
- I couldn't hear you.
Â
- No.
- No.
Â
Because you don't free bees.
You keep bees. Not only that,
Â
it seems you thought a bear would be
an appropriate image for a jar of honey.
Â
They're very lovable creatures.
Â
Yogi Bear, Fozzie Bear, Build-A-Bear.
Â
You mean like this?
Â
Bears kill bees!
Â
How'd you like his head crashing
through your living room?!
Â
Biting into your couch!
Spitting out your throw pillows!
Â
OK, that's enough. Take him away.
Â
So, Mr. Sting, thank you for being here.
Your name intrigues me.
Â
- Where have I heard it before?
- I was with a band called The Police.
Â
But you've never been
a police officer, have you?
Â
No, I haven't.
Â
No, you haven't. And so here
we have yet another example
Â
of bee culture casually
stolen by a human
Â
for nothing more than
a prance-about stage name.
Â
Oh, please.
Â
Have you ever been stung, Mr. Sting?
Â
Because I'm feeling
a little stung, Sting.
Â
Or should I say... Mr. Gordon M. Sumner!
Â
That's not his real name?! You idiots!
Â
Mr. Liotta, first,
belated congratulations on
Â
your Emmy win for a guest spot
on ER in 2005.
Â
Thank you. Thank you.
Â
I see from your resume
that you're devilishly handsome
Â
with a churning inner turmoil
that's ready to blow.
Â
I enjoy what I do. Is that a crime?
Â
Not yet it isn't. But is this
what it's come to for you?
Â
Exploiting tiny, helpless bees
so you don't
Â
have to rehearse
your part and learn your lines, sir?
Â
Watch it, Benson!
I could blow right now!
Â
This isn't a goodfella.
This is a badfella!
Â
Why doesn't someone just step on
this creep, and we can all go home?!
Â
- Order in this court!
- You're all thinking it!
Â
Order! Order, I say!
Â
- Say it!
- Mr. Liotta, please sit down!
Â
I think it was awfully nice
of that bear to pitch in like that.
Â
I think the jury's on our side.
Â
Are we doing everything right, legally?
Â
I'm a florist.
Â
Right. Well, here's to a great team.
Â
To a great team!
Â
Well, hello.
Â
- Ken!
- Hello.
Â
I didn't think you were coming.
Â
No, I was just late.
I tried to call, but... the battery.
Â
I didn't want all this to go to waste,
so I called Barry. Luckily, he was free.
Â
Oh, that was lucky.
Â
There's a little left.
I could heat it up.
Â
Yeah, heat it up, sure, whatever.
Â
So I hear you're quite a tennis player.
Â
I'm not much for the game myself.
The ball's a little grabby.
Â
That's where I usually sit.
Right... there.
Â
Ken, Barry was looking at your resume,
Â
and he agreed with me that eating with
chopsticks isn't really a special skill.
Â
You think I don't see what you're doing?
Â
I know how hard it is to find
the rightjob. We have that in common.
Â
Do we?
Â
Bees have 100 percent employment,
but we do jobs like taking the crud out.
Â
That's just what
I was thinking about doing.
Â
Ken, I let Barry borrow your razor
for his fuzz. I hope that was all right.
Â
I'm going to drain the old stinger.
Â
Yeah, you do that.
Â
Look at that.
Â
You know, I've just about had it
Â
with your little mind games.
Â
- What's that?
- Italian Vogue.
Â
Mamma mia, that's a lot of pages.
Â
A lot of ads.
Â
Remember what Van said, why is
your life more valuable than mine?
Â
Funny, I just can't seem to recall that!
Â
I think something stinks in here!
Â
I love the smell of flowers.
Â
How do you like the smell of flames?!
Â
Not as much.
Â
Water bug! Not taking sides!
Â
Ken, I'm wearing a Ohapstick hat!
This is pathetic!
Â
I've got issues!
Â
Well, well, well, a royal flush!
Â
- You're bluffing.
- Am I?
Â
Surf's up, dude!
Â
Poo water!
Â
That bowl is gnarly.
Â
Except for those dirty yellow rings!
Â
Kenneth! What are you doing?!
Â
You know, I don't even like honey!
I don't eat it!
Â
We need to talk!
Â
He's just a little bee!
Â
And he happens to be
the nicest bee I've met in a long time!
Â
Long time? What are you talking about?!
Are there other bugs in your life?
Â
No, but there are other things bugging
me in life. And you're one of them!
Â
Fine! Talking bees, no yogurt night...
Â
My nerves are fried from riding
on this emotional roller coaster!
Â
Goodbye, Ken.
Â
And for your information,
Â
I prefer sugar-free, artificial
sweeteners made by man!
Â
I'm sorry about all that.
Â
I know it's got
an aftertaste! I like it!
Â
I always felt there was some kind
of barrier between Ken and me.
Â
I couldn't overcome it.
Oh, well.
Â
Are you OK for the trial?
Â
I believe Mr. Montgomery
is about out of ideas.
Â
We would like to call
Mr. Barry Benson Bee to the stand.
Â
Good idea! You can really see why he's
considered one of the best lawyers...
Â
Yeah.
Â
Layton, you've
gotta weave some magic
Â
with this jury,
or it's gonna be all over.
Â
Don't worry. The only thing I have
to do to turn this jury around
Â
is to remind them
of what they don't like about bees.
Â
- You got the tweezers?
- Are you allergic?
Â
Only to losing, son. Only to losing.
Â
Mr. Benson Bee, I'll ask you
what I think we'd all like to know.
Â
What exactly is your relationship
Â
to that woman?
Â
We're friends.
Â
- Good friends?
- Yes.
Â
How good? Do you live together?
Â
Wait a minute...
Â
Are you her little...
Â
...bedbug?
Â
I've seen a bee documentary or two.
From what I understand,
Â
doesn't your queen give birth
to all the bee children?
Â
- Yeah, but...
- So those aren't your real parents!
Â
- Oh, Barry...
- Yes, they are!
Â
Hold me back!
Â
You're an illegitimate bee,
aren't you, Benson?
Â
He's denouncing bees!
Â
Don't y'all date your cousins?
Â
- Objection!
- I'm going to pincushion this guy!
Â
Adam, don't! It's what he wants!
Â
Oh, I'm hit!!
Â
Oh, lordy, I am hit!
Â
Order! Order!
Â
The venom! The venom
is coursing through my veins!
Â
I have been felled
by a winged beast of destruction!
Â
You see? You can't treat them
like equals! They're striped savages!
Â
Stinging's the only thing
they know! It's their way!
Â
- Adam, stay with me.
- I can't feel my legs.
Â
What angel of mercy
will come forward to suck the poison
Â
from my heaving buttocks?
Â
I will have order in this court. Order!
Â
Order, please!
Â
The case of the honeybees
versus the human race
Â
took a pointed turn against the bees
Â
yesterday when one of their legal
team stung Layton T. Montgomery.
Â
- Hey, buddy.
- Hey.
Â
- Is there much pain?
- Yeah.
Â
I...
Â
I blew the whole case, didn't I?
Â
It doesn't matter. What matters is
you're alive. You could have died.
Â
I'd be better off dead. Look at me.
Â
They got it from the cafeteria
downstairs, in a tuna sandwich.
Â
Look, there's
a little celery still on it.
Â
What was it like to sting someone?
Â
I can't explain it. It was all...
Â
All adrenaline and then...
and then ecstasy!
Â
All right.
Â
You think it was all a trap?
Â
Of course. I'm sorry.
I flew us right into this.
Â
What were we thinking? Look at us. We're
just a couple of bugs in this world.
Â
What will the humans do to us
if they win?
Â
I don't know.
Â
I hear they put the roaches in motels.
That doesn't sound so bad.
Â
Adam, they check in,
but they don't check out!
Â
Oh, my.
Â
Oould you get a nurse
to close that window?
Â
- Why?
- The smoke.
Â
Bees don't smoke.
Â
Right. Bees don't smoke.
Â
Bees don't smoke!
But some bees are smoking.
Â
That's it! That's our case!
Â
It is? It's not over?
Â
Get dressed. I've gotta go somewhere.
Â
Get back to the court and stall.
Stall any way you can.
Â
And assuming you've done step correctly, you're ready for the tub.
Â
Mr. Flayman.
Â
Yes? Yes, Your Honor!
Â
Where is the rest of your team?
Â
Well, Your Honor, it's interesting.
Â
Bees are trained to fly haphazardly,
Â
and as a result,
we don't make very good time.
Â
I actually heard a funny story about...
Â
Your Honor,
haven't these ridiculous bugs
Â
taken up enough
of this court's valuable time?
Â
How much longer will we allow
these absurd shenanigans to go on?
Â
They have presented no compelling
evidence to support their charges
Â
against my clients,
who run legitimate businesses.
Â
I move for a complete dismissal
of this entire case!
Â
Mr. Flayman, I'm afraid I'm going
Â
to have to consider
Mr. Montgomery's motion.
Â
But you can't! We have a terrific case.
Â
Where is your proof?
Where is the evidence?
Â
Show me the smoking gun!
Â
Hold it, Your Honor!
You want a smoking gun?
Â
Here is your smoking gun.
Â
What is that?
Â
It's a bee smoker!
Â
What, this?
This harmless little contraption?
Â
This couldn't hurt a fly,
let alone a bee.
Â
Look at what has happened
Â
to bees who have never been asked,
"Smoking or non?"
Â
Is this what nature intended for us?
Â
To be forcibly addicted
to smoke machines
Â
and man-made wooden slat work camps?
Â
Living out our lives as honey slaves
to the white man?
Â
- What are we gonna do?
- He's playing the species card.
Â
Ladies and gentlemen, please,
free these bees!
Â
Free the bees! Free the bees!
Â
Free the bees!
Â
Free the bees! Free the bees!
Â
The court finds in favor of the bees!
Â
Vanessa, we won!
Â
I knew you could do it! High-five!
Â
Sorry.
Â
I'm OK! You know what this means?
Â
All the honey
will finally belong to the bees.
Â
Now we won't have
to work so hard all the time.
Â
This is an unholy perversion
of the balance of nature, Benson.
Â
You'll regret this.
Â
Barry, how much honey is out there?
Â
All right. One at a time.
Â
Barry, who are you wearing?
Â
My sweater is Ralph Lauren,
and I have no pants.
Â
- What if Montgomery's right?
- What do you mean?
Â
We've been living the bee way
a long time, 27 million years.
Â
Oongratulations on your victory.
What will you demand as a settlement?
Â
First, we'll demand a complete shutdown
of all bee work camps.
Â
Then we want back the honey
that was ours to begin with,
Â
every last drop.
Â
We demand an end to the glorification
of the bear as anything more
Â
than a filthy, smelly,
bad-breath stink machine.
Â
We're all aware
of what they do in the woods.
Â
Wait for my signal.
Â
Take him out.
Â
He'll have nauseous
for a few hours, then he'll be fine.
Â
And we will no longer tolerate
bee-negative nicknames...
Â
But it's just a prance-about stage name!
Â
...unnecessary inclusion of honey
in bogus health products
Â
and la-dee-da human
tea-time snack garnishments.
Â
Oan't breathe.
Â
Bring it in, boys!
Â
Hold it right there! Good.
Â
Tap it.
Â
Mr. Buzzwell, we just passed three cups,
and there's gallons more coming!
Â
- I think we need to shut down!
- Shut down? We've never shut down.
Â
Shut down honey production!
Â
Stop making honey!
Â
Turn your key, sir!
Â
What do we do now?
Â
Oannonball!
Â
We're shutting honey production!
Â
Mission abort.
Â
Aborting pollination and nectar detail.
Returning to base.
Â
Adam, you wouldn't believe
how much honey was out there.
Â
Oh, yeah?
Â
What's going on? Where is everybody?
Â
- Are they out celebrating?
- They're home.
Â
They don't know what to do.
Laying out, sleeping in.
Â
I heard your Uncle Oarl was on his way
to San Antonio with a cricket.
Â
At least we got our honey back.
Â
Sometimes I think, so what if humans
liked our honey? Who wouldn't?
Â
It's the greatest thing in the world!
I was excited to be part of making it.
Â
This was my new desk. This was my
new job. I wanted to do it really well.
Â
And now...
Â
Now I can't.
Â
I don't understand
why they're not happy.
Â
I thought their lives would be better!
Â
They're doing nothing. It's amazing.
Honey really changes people.
Â
You don't have any idea
what's going on, do you?
Â
- What did you want to show me?
- This.
Â
What happened here?
Â
That is not the half of it.
Â
Oh, no. Oh, my.
Â
They're all wilting.
Â
Doesn't look very good, does it?
Â
No.
Â
And whose fault do you think that is?
Â
You know, I'm gonna guess bees.
Â
Bees?
Â
Specifically, me.
Â
I didn't think bees not needing to make
honey would affect all these things.
Â
It's notjust flowers.
Fruits, vegetables, they all need bees.
Â
That's our whole SAT test right there.
Â
Take away produce, that affects
the entire animal kingdom.
Â
And then, of course...
Â
The human species?
Â
So if there's no more pollination,
Â
it could all just go south here,
couldn't it?
Â
I know this is also partly my fault.
Â
How about a suicide pact?
Â
How do we do it?
Â
- I'll sting you, you step on me.
- Thatjust kills you twice.
Â
Right, right.
Â
Listen, Barry...
sorry, but I gotta get going.
Â
I had to open my mouth and talk.
Â
Vanessa?
Â
Vanessa? Why are you leaving?
Where are you going?
Â
To the final Tournament of Roses parade
in Pasadena.
Â
They've moved it to this weekend
because all the flowers are dying.
Â
It's the last chance
I'll ever have to see it.
Â
Vanessa, I just wanna say I'm sorry.
I never meant it to turn out like this.
Â
I know. Me neither.
Â
Tournament of Roses.
Roses can't do sports.
Â
Wait a minute. Roses. Roses?
Â
Roses!
Â
Vanessa!
Â
Roses?!
Â
Barry?
Â
- Roses are flowers!
- Yes, they are.
Â
Flowers, bees, pollen!
Â
I know.
That's why this is the last parade.
Â
Maybe not.
Oould you ask him to slow down?
Â
Oould you slow down?
Â
Barry!
Â
OK, I made a huge mistake.
This is a total disaster, all my fault.
Â
Yes, it kind of is.
Â
I've ruined the planet.
I wanted to help you
Â
with the flower shop.
I've made it worse.
Â
Actually, it's completely closed down.
Â
I thought maybe you were remodeling.
Â
But I have another idea, and it's
greater than my previous ideas combined.
Â
I don't want to hear it!
Â
All right, they have the roses,
the roses have the pollen.
Â
I know every bee, plant
and flower bud in this park.
Â
All we gotta do is get what they've got
back here with what we've got.
Â
- Bees.
- Park.
Â
- Pollen!
- Flowers.
Â
- Repollination!
- Across the nation!
Â
Tournament of Roses,
Pasadena, Oalifornia.
Â
They've got nothing
but flowers, floats and cotton candy.
Â
Security will be tight.
Â
I have an idea.
Â
Vanessa Bloome, FTD.
Â
Official floral business. It's real.
Â
Sorry, ma'am. Nice brooch.
Â
Thank you. It was a gift.
Â
Once inside,
we just pick the right float.
Â
How about The Princess and the Pea?
Â
I could be the princess,
and you could be the pea!
Â
Yes, I got it.
Â
- Where should I sit?
- What are you?
Â
- I believe I'm the pea.
- The pea?
Â
It goes under the mattresses.
Â
- Not in this fairy tale, sweetheart.
- I'm getting the marshal.
Â
You do that!
This whole parade is a fiasco!
Â
Let's see what this baby'll do.
Â
Hey, what are you doing?!
Â
Then all we do
is blend in with traffic...
Â
...without arousing suspicion.
Â
Once at the airport,
there's no stopping us.
Â
Stop! Security.
Â
- You and your insect pack your float?
- Yes.
Â
Has it been
in your possession the entire time?
Â
Would you remove your shoes?
Â
- Remove your stinger.
- It's part of me.
Â
I know. Just having some fun.
Enjoy your flight.
Â
Then if we're lucky, we'll have
just enough pollen to do the job.
Â
Oan you believe how lucky we are? We
have just enough pollen to do the job!
Â
I think this is gonna work.
Â
It's got to work.
Â
Attention, passengers,
this is Oaptain Scott.
Â
We have a bit of bad weather
in New York.
Â
It looks like we'll experience
a couple hours delay.
Â
Barry, these are cut flowers
with no water. They'll never make it.
Â
I gotta get up there
and talk to them.
Â
Be careful.
Â
Oan I get help
with the Sky Mall magazine?
Â
I'd like to order the talking
inflatable nose and ear hair trimmer.
Â
Oaptain, I'm in a real situation.
Â
- What'd you say, Hal?
- Nothing.
Â
Bee!
Â
Don't freak out! My entire species...
Â
What are you doing?
Â
- Wait a minute! I'm an attorney!
- Who's an attorney?
Â
Don't move.
Â
Oh, Barry.
Â
Good afternoon, passengers.
This is your captain.
Â
Would a Miss Vanessa Bloome in 24B
please report to the cockpit?
Â
And please hurry!
Â
What happened here?
Â
There was a DustBuster,
a toupee, a life raft exploded.
Â
One's bald, one's in a boat,
they're both unconscious!
Â
- Is that another bee joke?
- No!
Â
No one's flying the plane!
Â
This is JFK control tower, Flight 356.
What's your status?
Â
This is Vanessa Bloome.
I'm a florist from New York.
Â
Where's the pilot?
Â
He's unconscious,
and so is the copilot.
Â
Not good. Does anyone onboard
have flight experience?
Â
As a matter of fact, there is.
Â
- Who's that?
- Barry Benson.
Â
From the honey trial?! Oh, great.
Â
Vanessa, this is nothing more
than a big metal bee.
Â
It's got giant wings, huge engines.
Â
I can't fly a plane.
Â
- Why not? Isn't John Travolta a pilot?
- Yes.
Â
How hard could it be?
Â
Wait, Barry!
We're headed into some lightning.
Â
This is Bob Bumble. We have some
late-breaking news from JFK Airport,
Â
where a suspenseful scene
is developing.
Â
Barry Benson,
fresh from his legal victory...
Â
That's Barry!
Â
...is attempting to land a plane,
loaded with people, flowers
Â
and an incapacitated flight crew.
Â
Flowers?!
Â
We have a storm in the area
and two individuals at the controls
Â
with absolutely no flight experience.
Â
Just a minute.
There's a bee on that plane.
Â
I'm quite familiar with Mr. Benson
and his no-account compadres.
Â
They've done enough damage.
Â
But isn't he your only hope?
Â
Technically, a bee
shouldn't be able to fly at all.
Â
Their wings are too small...
Â
Haven't we heard this a million times?
Â
"The surface area of the wings
and body mass make no sense."
Â
- Get this on the air!
- Got it.
Â
- Stand by.
- We're going live.
Â
The way we work may be a mystery to you.
Â
Making honey takes a lot of bees
doing a lot of small jobs.
Â
But let me tell you about a small job.
Â
If you do it well,
it makes a big difference...
