‭The‬‭bee‬‭movie‬

‭ ccording‬‭to‬‭all‬‭known‬‭laws‬‭of‬‭aviation,‬‭there‬‭is‬‭no‬‭way‬‭a‬‭bee‬‭should‬‭be‬‭able‬‭to‬‭fly.‬‭Its‬‭wings‬‭are‬‭too‬‭small‬‭to‬‭get‬‭its‬‭fat‬‭little‬‭body‬‭off‬‭the‬‭ground.‬‭The‬‭bee,‬‭of‬‭course,‬‭flies‬‭anyway‬‭because‬‭bees‬‭don't‬‭care‬‭what‬‭humans‬‭think‬
A
‭is‬‭impossible.‬‭Yellow,‬‭black.‬‭Yellow,‬‭black.‬‭Yellow,‬‭black.‬‭Yellow,‬‭black.‬‭Ooh,‬‭black‬‭and‬‭yellow!‬‭Let's‬‭shake‬‭it‬‭up‬‭a‬‭little.‬‭Barry!‬‭Breakfast‬‭is‬‭ready!‬‭Ooming!‬‭Hang‬‭on‬‭a‬‭second.‬‭Hello?‬‭-‬‭Barry?‬‭-‬‭Adam?‬‭-‬‭Oan‬‭you‬‭believe‬‭this‬‭is‬‭happening?‬‭-‬‭I‬‭can't.‬

‭wanted‬‭to‬‭be‬‭a‬‭florist.‬‭-‬‭Really?‬‭-‬‭My‬‭only‬‭interest‬‭is‬‭flowers.‬‭Our‬‭new‬‭queen‬‭was‬‭just‬‭elected‬‭with‬‭that‬‭same‬‭campaign‬‭slogan.‬‭Anyway,‬‭if‬‭you‬‭look...‬‭There's‬‭my‬‭hive‬‭right‬‭there.‬‭See‬‭it?‬‭You're‬‭in‬‭Sheep‬‭Meadow!‬‭Yes!‬‭I'm‬‭right‬‭off‬‭the‬‭Turtle‬‭Pond!‬

‭Antonio.‬‭Those‬‭crazy‬‭legs‬‭kept‬‭me‬‭up‬‭all‬‭night.‬‭Barry,‬‭this‬‭is‬‭what‬‭you‬‭want‬‭to‬‭do‬‭with‬‭your‬‭life?‬‭I‬‭want‬‭to‬‭do‬‭it‬‭for‬‭all‬‭our‬‭lives.‬‭Nobody‬‭works‬‭harder‬‭than‬‭bees!‬‭Dad,‬‭I‬‭remember‬‭you‬‭coming‬‭home‬‭so‬‭overworked‬‭your‬‭hands‬‭were‬‭still‬‭stirring.‬
‭You‬‭couldn't‬‭stop.‬‭I‬‭remember‬‭that.‬‭What‬‭right‬‭do‬‭they‬‭have‬‭to‬‭our‬‭honey?‬‭We‬‭live‬‭on‬‭two‬‭cups‬‭a‬‭year.‬‭They‬‭put‬‭it‬‭in‬‭lip‬‭balm‬‭for‬‭no‬‭reason‬‭whatsoever!‬‭Even‬‭if‬‭it's‬‭true,‬‭what‬‭can‬‭one‬‭bee‬‭do?‬‭Sting‬‭them‬‭where‬‭it‬‭really‬‭hurts.‬‭In‬‭the‬‭face!‬‭The‬
‭eye!‬‭-‬‭That‬‭would‬‭hurt.‬‭-‬‭No.‬‭Up‬‭the‬‭nose?‬‭That's‬‭a‬‭killer.‬‭There's‬‭only‬‭one‬‭place‬‭you‬‭can‬‭sting‬‭the‬‭humans,‬‭one‬‭place‬‭where‬‭it‬‭matters.‬‭Hive‬‭at‬‭Five,‬‭the‬‭hive's‬‭only‬‭full-hour‬‭action‬‭news‬‭source.‬‭No‬‭more‬‭bee‬‭beards!‬‭With‬‭Bob‬‭Bumble‬‭at‬‭the‬
‭anchor‬‭desk.‬‭Weather‬‭with‬‭Storm‬‭Stinger.‬‭Sports‬‭with‬‭Buzz‬‭Larvi.‬‭And‬‭Jeanette‬‭Ohung.‬‭-‬‭Good‬‭evening.‬‭I'm‬‭Bob‬‭Bumble.‬‭-‬‭And‬‭I'm‬‭Jeanette‬‭Ohung.‬‭A‬‭tri-county‬‭bee,‬‭Barry‬‭Benson,‬‭intends‬‭to‬‭sue‬‭the‬‭human‬‭race‬‭for‬‭stealing‬‭our‬‭honey,‬
‭packaging‬‭it‬‭and‬‭profiting‬‭from‬‭it‬‭illegally!‬‭Tomorrow‬‭night‬‭on‬‭Bee‬‭Larry‬‭King,‬‭we'll‬‭have‬‭three‬‭former‬‭queens‬‭here‬‭in‬‭our‬‭studio,‬‭discussing‬‭their‬‭new‬‭book,‬‭Olassy‬‭Ladies,‬‭out‬‭this‬‭week‬‭on‬‭Hexagon.‬‭Tonight‬‭we're‬‭talking‬‭to‬‭Barry‬‭Benson.‬‭Did‬
‭you‬‭ever‬‭think,‬‭"I'm‬‭a‬‭kid‬‭from‬‭the‬‭hive.‬‭I‬‭can't‬‭do‬‭this"?‬‭Bees‬‭have‬‭never‬‭been‬‭afraid‬‭to‬‭change‬‭the‬‭world.‬‭What‬‭about‬‭Bee‬‭Oolumbus?‬‭Bee‬‭Gandhi?‬‭Bejesus?‬‭Where‬‭I'm‬‭from,‬‭we'd‬‭never‬‭sue‬‭humans.‬‭We‬‭were‬‭thinking‬‭of‬‭stickball‬‭or‬‭candy‬
‭stores.‬‭How‬‭old‬‭are‬‭you?‬‭The‬‭bee‬‭community‬‭is‬‭supporting‬‭you‬‭in‬‭this‬‭case,‬‭which‬‭will‬‭be‬‭the‬‭trial‬‭of‬‭the‬‭bee‬‭century.‬‭You‬‭know,‬‭they‬‭have‬‭a‬‭Larry‬‭King‬‭in‬‭the‬‭human‬‭world‬‭too.‬‭It's‬‭a‬‭common‬‭name.‬‭Next‬‭week...‬‭He‬‭looks‬‭like‬‭you‬‭and‬‭has‬‭a‬
‭show‬‭and‬‭suspenders‬‭and‬‭colored‬‭dots...‬‭Next‬‭week...‬‭Glasses,‬‭quotes‬‭on‬‭the‬‭bottom‬‭from‬‭the‬‭guest‬‭even‬‭though‬‭you‬‭just‬‭heard‬‭'em.‬‭Bear‬‭Week‬‭next‬‭week!‬‭They're‬‭scary,‬‭hairy‬‭and‬‭here‬‭live.‬‭Always‬‭leans‬‭forward,‬‭pointy‬‭shoulders,‬‭squinty‬
‭eyes,‬‭very‬‭Jewish.‬‭In‬‭tennis,‬‭you‬‭attack‬‭at‬‭the‬‭point‬‭of‬‭weakness!‬‭It‬‭was‬‭my‬‭grandmother,‬‭Ken.‬‭She's‬‭81.‬‭Honey,‬‭her‬‭backhand's‬‭a‬‭joke!‬‭I'm‬‭not‬‭gonna‬‭take‬‭advantage‬‭of‬‭that?‬‭Quiet,‬‭please.‬‭Actual‬‭work‬‭going‬‭on‬‭here.‬‭-‬‭Is‬‭that‬‭that‬‭same‬‭bee?‬‭-‬
‭Yes,‬‭it‬‭is!‬‭I'm‬‭helping‬‭him‬‭sue‬‭the‬‭human‬‭race.‬‭-‬‭Hello.‬‭-‬‭Hello,‬‭bee.‬‭This‬‭is‬‭Ken.‬‭Yeah,‬‭I‬‭remember‬‭you.‬‭Timberland,‬‭size‬‭ten‬‭and‬‭a‬‭half.‬‭Vibram‬‭sole,‬‭I‬‭believe.‬‭Why‬‭does‬‭he‬‭talk‬‭again?‬‭Listen,‬‭you‬‭better‬‭go‬‭'cause‬‭we're‬‭really‬‭busy‬‭working.‬‭But‬
‭it's‬‭our‬‭yogurt‬‭night!‬‭Bye-bye.‬‭Why‬‭is‬‭yogurt‬‭night‬‭so‬‭difficult?!‬‭You‬‭poor‬‭thing.‬‭You‬‭two‬‭have‬‭been‬‭at‬‭this‬‭for‬‭hours!‬‭Yes,‬‭and‬‭Adam‬‭here‬‭has‬‭been‬‭a‬‭huge‬‭help.‬‭-‬‭Frosting...‬‭-‬‭How‬‭many‬‭sugars?‬‭Just‬‭one.‬‭I‬‭try‬‭not‬‭to‬‭use‬‭the‬‭competition.‬‭So‬‭why‬
‭are‬‭you‬‭helping‬‭me?‬‭Bees‬‭have‬‭good‬‭qualities.‬‭And‬‭it‬‭takes‬‭my‬‭mind‬‭off‬‭the‬‭shop.‬‭Instead‬‭of‬‭flowers,‬‭people‬‭are‬‭giving‬‭balloon‬‭bouquets‬‭now.‬‭Those‬‭are‬‭great,‬‭if‬‭you're‬‭three.‬‭And‬‭artificial‬‭flowers.‬‭-‬‭Oh,‬‭those‬‭just‬‭get‬‭me‬‭psychotic!‬‭-‬‭Yeah,‬‭me‬
‭too.‬‭Bent‬‭stingers,‬‭pointless‬‭pollination.‬‭Bees‬‭must‬‭hate‬‭those‬‭fake‬‭things!‬‭Nothing‬‭worse‬‭than‬‭a‬‭daffodil‬‭that's‬‭had‬‭work‬‭done.‬‭Maybe‬‭this‬‭could‬‭make‬‭up‬‭for‬‭it‬‭a‬‭little‬‭bit.‬‭-‬‭This‬‭lawsuit's‬‭a‬‭pretty‬‭big‬‭deal.‬‭-‬‭I‬‭guess.‬‭You‬‭sure‬‭you‬‭want‬‭to‬‭go‬
‭through‬‭with‬‭it?‬‭Am‬‭I‬‭sure?‬‭When‬‭I'm‬‭done‬‭with‬‭the‬‭humans,‬‭they‬‭won't‬‭be‬‭able‬‭to‬‭say,‬‭"Honey,‬‭I'm‬‭home,"‬‭without‬‭paying‬‭a‬‭royalty!‬‭It's‬‭an‬‭incredible‬‭scene‬‭here‬‭in‬‭downtown‬‭Manhattan,‬‭where‬‭the‬‭world‬‭anxiously‬‭waits,‬‭because‬‭for‬‭the‬‭first‬
t‭ ime‬‭in‬‭history,‬‭we‬‭will‬‭hear‬‭for‬‭ourselves‬‭if‬‭a‬‭honeybee‬‭can‬‭actually‬‭speak.‬‭What‬‭have‬‭we‬‭gotten‬‭into‬‭here,‬‭Barry?‬‭It's‬‭pretty‬‭big,‬‭isn't‬‭it?‬‭I‬‭can't‬‭believe‬‭how‬‭many‬‭humans‬‭don't‬‭work‬‭during‬‭the‬‭day.‬‭You‬‭think‬‭billion-dollar‬‭multinational‬‭food‬
‭companies‬‭have‬‭good‬‭lawyers?‬‭Everybody‬‭needs‬‭to‬‭stay‬‭behind‬‭the‬‭barricade.‬‭-‬‭What's‬‭the‬‭matter?‬‭-‬‭I‬‭don't‬‭know,‬‭I‬‭just‬‭got‬‭a‬‭chill.‬‭Well,‬‭if‬‭it‬‭isn't‬‭the‬‭bee‬‭team.‬‭You‬‭boys‬‭work‬‭on‬‭this?‬‭All‬‭rise!‬‭The‬‭Honorable‬‭Judge‬‭Bumbleton‬‭presiding.‬‭All‬
‭right.‬‭Oase‬‭number‬‭4475,‬‭Superior‬‭Oourt‬‭of‬‭New‬‭York,‬‭Barry‬‭Bee‬‭Benson‬‭v.‬‭the‬‭Honey‬‭Industry‬‭is‬‭now‬‭in‬‭session.‬‭Mr.‬‭Montgomery,‬‭you're‬‭representing‬‭the‬‭five‬‭food‬‭companies‬‭collectively?‬‭A‬‭privilege.‬‭Mr.‬‭Benson...‬‭you're‬‭representing‬‭all‬‭the‬
‭bees‬‭of‬‭the‬‭world?‬‭I'm‬‭kidding.‬‭Yes,‬‭Your‬‭Honor,‬‭we're‬‭ready‬‭to‬‭proceed.‬‭Mr.‬‭Montgomery,‬‭your‬‭opening‬‭statement,‬‭please.‬‭Ladies‬‭and‬‭gentlemen‬‭of‬‭the‬‭jury,‬‭my‬‭grandmother‬‭was‬‭a‬‭simple‬‭woman.‬‭Born‬‭on‬‭a‬‭farm,‬‭she‬‭believed‬‭it‬‭was‬‭man's‬
‭divine‬‭right‬‭to‬‭benefit‬‭from‬‭the‬‭bounty‬‭of‬‭nature‬‭God‬‭put‬‭before‬‭us.‬‭If‬‭we‬‭lived‬‭in‬‭the‬‭topsy-turvy‬‭world‬‭Mr.‬‭Benson‬‭imagines,‬‭just‬‭think‬‭of‬‭what‬‭would‬‭it‬‭mean.‬‭I‬‭would‬‭have‬‭to‬‭negotiate‬‭with‬‭the‬‭silkworm‬‭for‬‭the‬‭elastic‬‭in‬‭my‬‭britches!‬‭Talking‬
‭bee!‬‭How‬‭do‬‭we‬‭know‬‭this‬‭isn't‬‭some‬‭sort‬‭of‬‭holographic‬‭motion-picture-capture‬‭Hollywood‬‭wizardry?‬‭They‬‭could‬‭be‬‭using‬‭laser‬‭beams!‬‭Robotics!‬‭Ventriloquism!‬‭Oloning!‬‭For‬‭all‬‭we‬‭know,‬‭he‬‭could‬‭be‬‭on‬‭steroids!‬‭Mr.‬‭Benson?‬‭Ladies‬‭and‬
‭gentlemen,‬‭there's‬‭no‬‭trickery‬‭here.‬‭I'm‬‭just‬‭an‬‭ordinary‬‭bee.‬‭Honey's‬‭pretty‬‭important‬‭to‬‭me.‬‭It's‬‭important‬‭to‬‭all‬‭bees.‬‭We‬‭invented‬‭it!‬‭We‬‭make‬‭it.‬‭And‬‭we‬‭protect‬‭it‬‭with‬‭our‬‭lives.‬‭Unfortunately,‬‭there‬‭are‬‭some‬‭people‬‭in‬‭this‬‭room‬‭who‬‭think‬
‭they‬‭can‬‭take‬‭it‬‭from‬‭us‬‭'cause‬‭we're‬‭the‬‭little‬‭guys!‬‭I'm‬‭hoping‬‭that,‬‭after‬‭this‬‭is‬‭all‬‭over,‬‭you'll‬‭see‬‭how,‬‭by‬‭taking‬‭our‬‭honey,‬‭you‬‭not‬‭only‬‭take‬‭everything‬‭we‬‭have‬‭but‬‭everything‬‭we‬‭are!‬‭I‬‭wish‬‭he'd‬‭dress‬‭like‬‭that‬‭all‬‭the‬‭time.‬‭So‬‭nice!‬‭Oall‬‭your‬
‭first‬‭witness.‬‭So,‬‭Mr.‬‭Klauss‬‭Vanderhayden‬‭of‬‭Honey‬‭Farms,‬‭big‬‭company‬‭you‬‭have.‬‭I‬‭suppose‬‭so.‬‭I‬‭see‬‭you‬‭also‬‭own‬‭Honeyburton‬‭and‬‭Honron!‬‭Yes,‬‭they‬‭provide‬‭beekeepers‬‭for‬‭our‬‭farms.‬‭Beekeeper.‬‭I‬‭find‬‭that‬‭to‬‭be‬‭a‬‭very‬‭disturbing‬‭term.‬‭I‬
‭don't‬‭imagine‬‭you‬‭employ‬‭any‬‭bee-free-ers,‬‭do‬‭you?‬‭-‬‭No.‬‭-‬‭I‬‭couldn't‬‭hear‬‭you.‬‭-‬‭No.‬‭-‬‭No.‬‭Because‬‭you‬‭don't‬‭free‬‭bees.‬‭You‬‭keep‬‭bees.‬‭Not‬‭only‬‭that,‬‭it‬‭seems‬‭you‬‭thought‬‭a‬‭bear‬‭would‬‭be‬‭an‬‭appropriate‬‭image‬‭for‬‭a‬‭jar‬‭of‬‭honey.‬‭They're‬‭very‬
‭lovable‬‭creatures.‬‭Yogi‬‭Bear,‬‭Fozzie‬‭Bear,‬‭Build-A-Bear.‬‭You‬‭mean‬‭like‬‭this?‬‭Bears‬‭kill‬‭bees!‬‭How'd‬‭you‬‭like‬‭his‬‭head‬‭crashing‬‭through‬‭your‬‭living‬‭room?!‬‭Biting‬‭into‬‭your‬‭couch!‬‭Spitting‬‭out‬‭your‬‭throw‬‭pillows!‬‭OK,‬‭that's‬‭enough.‬‭Take‬‭him‬‭away.‬
‭So,‬‭Mr.‬‭Sting,‬‭thank‬‭you‬‭for‬‭being‬‭here.‬‭Your‬‭name‬‭intrigues‬‭me.‬‭-‬‭Where‬‭have‬‭I‬‭heard‬‭it‬‭before?‬‭-‬‭I‬‭was‬‭with‬‭a‬‭band‬‭called‬‭The‬‭Police.‬‭But‬‭you've‬‭never‬‭been‬‭a‬‭police‬‭officer,‬‭have‬‭you?‬‭No,‬‭I‬‭haven't.‬‭No,‬‭you‬‭haven't.‬‭And‬‭so‬‭here‬‭we‬‭have‬‭yet‬
‭another‬‭example‬‭of‬‭bee‬‭culture‬‭casually‬‭stolen‬‭by‬‭a‬‭human‬‭for‬‭nothing‬‭more‬‭than‬‭a‬‭prance-about‬‭stage‬‭name.‬‭Oh,‬‭please.‬‭Have‬‭you‬‭ever‬‭been‬‭stung,‬‭Mr.‬‭Sting?‬‭Because‬‭I'm‬‭feeling‬‭a‬‭little‬‭stung,‬‭Sting.‬‭Or‬‭should‬‭I‬‭say...‬‭Mr.‬‭Gordon‬‭M.‬‭Sumner!‬
‭That's‬‭not‬‭his‬‭real‬‭name?!‬‭You‬‭idiots!‬‭Mr.‬‭Liotta,‬‭first,‬‭belated‬‭congratulations‬‭on‬‭your‬‭Emmy‬‭win‬‭for‬‭a‬‭guest‬‭spot‬‭on‬‭ER‬‭in‬‭2005.‬‭Thank‬‭you.‬‭Thank‬‭you.‬‭I‬‭see‬‭from‬‭your‬‭resume‬‭that‬‭you're‬‭devilishly‬‭handsome‬‭with‬‭a‬‭churning‬‭inner‬‭turmoil‬‭that's‬
‭ready‬‭to‬‭blow.‬‭I‬‭enjoy‬‭what‬‭I‬‭do.‬‭Is‬‭that‬‭a‬‭crime?‬‭Not‬‭yet‬‭it‬‭isn't.‬‭But‬‭is‬‭this‬‭what‬‭it's‬‭come‬‭to‬‭for‬‭you?‬‭Exploiting‬‭tiny,‬‭helpless‬‭bees‬‭so‬‭you‬‭don't‬‭have‬‭to‬‭rehearse‬‭your‬‭part‬‭and‬‭learn‬‭your‬‭lines,‬‭sir?‬‭Watch‬‭it,‬‭Benson!‬‭I‬‭could‬‭blow‬‭right‬‭now!‬‭This‬
‭isn't‬‭a‬‭goodfella.‬‭This‬‭is‬‭a‬‭badfella!‬‭Why‬‭doesn't‬‭someone‬‭just‬‭step‬‭on‬‭this‬‭creep,‬‭and‬‭we‬‭can‬‭all‬‭go‬‭home?!‬‭-‬‭Order‬‭in‬‭this‬‭court!‬‭-‬‭You're‬‭all‬‭thinking‬‭it!‬‭Order!‬‭Order,‬‭I‬‭say!‬‭-‬‭Say‬‭it!‬‭-‬‭Mr.‬‭Liotta,‬‭please‬‭sit‬‭down!‬‭I‬‭think‬‭it‬‭was‬‭awfully‬‭nice‬‭of‬‭that‬
‭bear‬‭to‬‭pitch‬‭in‬‭like‬‭that.‬‭I‬‭think‬‭the‬‭jury's‬‭on‬‭our‬‭side.‬‭Are‬‭we‬‭doing‬‭everything‬‭right,‬‭legally?‬‭I'm‬‭a‬‭florist.‬‭Right.‬‭Well,‬‭here's‬‭to‬‭a‬‭great‬‭team.‬‭To‬‭a‬‭great‬‭team!‬‭Well,‬‭hello.‬‭-‬‭Ken!‬‭-‬‭Hello.‬‭I‬‭didn't‬‭think‬‭you‬‭were‬‭coming.‬‭No,‬‭I‬‭was‬‭just‬‭late.‬‭I‬‭tried‬
‭to‬‭call,‬‭but...‬‭the‬‭battery.‬‭I‬‭didn't‬‭want‬‭all‬‭this‬‭to‬‭go‬‭to‬‭waste,‬‭so‬‭I‬‭called‬‭Barry.‬‭Luckily,‬‭he‬‭was‬‭free.‬‭Oh,‬‭that‬‭was‬‭lucky.‬‭There's‬‭a‬‭little‬‭left.‬‭I‬‭could‬‭heat‬‭it‬‭up.‬‭Yeah,‬‭heat‬‭it‬‭up,‬‭sure,‬‭whatever.‬‭So‬‭I‬‭hear‬‭you're‬‭quite‬‭a‬‭tennis‬‭player.‬‭I'm‬‭not‬‭much‬
‭for‬‭the‬‭game‬‭myself.‬‭The‬‭ball's‬‭a‬‭little‬‭grabby.‬‭That's‬‭where‬‭I‬‭usually‬‭sit.‬‭Right...‬‭there.‬‭Ken,‬‭Barry‬‭was‬‭looking‬‭at‬‭your‬‭resume,‬‭and‬‭he‬‭agreed‬‭with‬‭me‬‭that‬‭eating‬‭with‬‭chopsticks‬‭isn't‬‭really‬‭a‬‭special‬‭skill.‬‭You‬‭think‬‭I‬‭don't‬‭see‬‭what‬‭you're‬‭doing?‬
‭I‬‭know‬‭how‬‭hard‬‭it‬‭is‬‭to‬‭find‬‭the‬‭rightjob.‬‭We‬‭have‬‭that‬‭in‬‭common.‬‭Do‬‭we?‬‭Bees‬‭have‬‭100‬‭percent‬‭employment,‬‭but‬‭we‬‭do‬‭jobs‬‭like‬‭taking‬‭the‬‭crud‬‭out.‬‭That's‬‭just‬‭what‬‭I‬‭was‬‭thinking‬‭about‬‭doing.‬‭Ken,‬‭I‬‭let‬‭Barry‬‭borrow‬‭your‬‭razor‬‭for‬‭his‬‭fuzz.‬
‭I‬‭hope‬‭that‬‭was‬‭all‬‭right.‬‭I'm‬‭going‬‭to‬‭drain‬‭the‬‭old‬‭stinger.‬‭Yeah,‬‭you‬‭do‬‭that.‬‭Look‬‭at‬‭that.‬‭You‬‭know,‬‭I've‬‭just‬‭about‬‭had‬‭it‬‭with‬‭your‬‭little‬‭mind‬‭games.‬‭-‬‭What's‬‭that?‬‭-‬‭Italian‬‭Vogue.‬‭Mamma‬‭mia,‬‭that's‬‭a‬‭lot‬‭of‬‭pages.‬‭A‬‭lot‬‭of‬‭ads.‬‭Remember‬
‭what‬‭Van‬‭said,‬‭why‬‭is‬‭your‬‭life‬‭more‬‭valuable‬‭than‬‭mine?‬‭Funny,‬‭I‬‭just‬‭can't‬‭seem‬‭to‬‭recall‬‭that!‬‭I‬‭think‬‭something‬‭stinks‬‭in‬‭here!‬‭I‬‭love‬‭the‬‭smell‬‭of‬‭flowers.‬‭How‬‭do‬‭you‬‭like‬‭the‬‭smell‬‭of‬‭flames?!‬‭Not‬‭as‬‭much.‬‭Water‬‭bug!‬‭Not‬‭taking‬‭sides!‬‭Ken,‬
‭I'm‬‭wearing‬‭a‬‭Ohapstick‬‭hat!‬‭This‬‭is‬‭pathetic!‬‭I've‬‭got‬‭issues!‬‭Well,‬‭well,‬‭well,‬‭a‬‭royal‬‭flush!‬‭-‬‭You're‬‭bluffing.‬‭-‬‭Am‬‭I?‬‭Surf's‬‭up,‬‭dude!‬‭Poo‬‭water!‬‭That‬‭bowl‬‭is‬‭gnarly.‬‭Except‬‭for‬‭those‬‭dirty‬‭yellow‬‭rings!‬‭Kenneth!‬‭What‬‭are‬‭you‬‭doing?!‬‭You‬‭know,‬‭I‬
‭don't‬‭even‬‭like‬‭honey!‬‭I‬‭don't‬‭eat‬‭it!‬‭We‬‭need‬‭to‬‭talk!‬‭He's‬‭just‬‭a‬‭little‬‭bee!‬‭And‬‭he‬‭happens‬‭to‬‭be‬‭the‬‭nicest‬‭bee‬‭I've‬‭met‬‭in‬‭a‬‭long‬‭time!‬‭Long‬‭time?‬‭What‬‭are‬‭you‬‭talking‬‭about?!‬‭Are‬‭there‬‭other‬‭bugs‬‭in‬‭your‬‭life?‬‭No,‬‭but‬‭there‬‭are‬‭other‬‭things‬
‭bugging‬‭me‬‭in‬‭life.‬‭And‬‭you're‬‭one‬‭of‬‭them!‬‭Fine!‬‭Talking‬‭bees,‬‭no‬‭yogurt‬‭night...‬‭My‬‭nerves‬‭are‬‭fried‬‭from‬‭riding‬‭on‬‭this‬‭emotional‬‭roller‬‭coaster!‬‭Goodbye,‬‭Ken.‬‭And‬‭for‬‭your‬‭information,‬‭I‬‭prefer‬‭sugar-free,‬‭artificial‬‭sweeteners‬‭made‬‭by‬‭man!‬
‭I'm‬‭sorry‬‭about‬‭all‬‭that.‬‭I‬‭know‬‭it's‬‭got‬‭an‬‭aftertaste!‬‭I‬‭like‬‭it!‬‭I‬‭always‬‭felt‬‭there‬‭was‬‭some‬‭kind‬‭of‬‭barrier‬‭between‬‭Ken‬‭and‬‭me.‬‭I‬‭couldn't‬‭overcome‬‭it.‬‭Oh,‬‭well.‬‭Are‬‭you‬‭OK‬‭for‬‭the‬‭trial?‬‭I‬‭believe‬‭Mr.‬‭Montgomery‬‭is‬‭about‬‭out‬‭of‬‭ideas.‬‭We‬‭would‬
‭like‬‭to‬‭call‬‭Mr.‬‭Barry‬‭Benson‬‭Bee‬‭to‬‭the‬‭stand.‬‭Good‬‭idea!‬‭You‬‭can‬‭really‬‭see‬‭why‬‭he's‬‭considered‬‭one‬‭of‬‭the‬‭best‬‭lawyers...‬‭Yeah.‬‭Layton,‬‭you've‬‭gotta‬‭weave‬‭some‬‭magic‬‭with‬‭this‬‭jury,‬‭or‬‭it's‬‭gonna‬‭be‬‭all‬‭over.‬‭Don't‬‭worry.‬‭The‬‭only‬‭thing‬‭I‬‭have‬
‭to‬‭do‬‭to‬‭turn‬‭this‬‭jury‬‭around‬‭is‬‭to‬‭remind‬‭them‬‭of‬‭what‬‭they‬‭don't‬‭like‬‭about‬‭bees.‬‭-‬‭You‬‭got‬‭the‬‭tweezers?‬‭-‬‭Are‬‭you‬‭allergic?‬‭Only‬‭to‬‭losing,‬‭son.‬‭Only‬‭to‬‭losing.‬‭Mr.‬‭Benson‬‭Bee,‬‭I'll‬‭ask‬‭you‬‭what‬‭I‬‭think‬‭we'd‬‭all‬‭like‬‭to‬‭know.‬‭What‬‭exactly‬‭is‬‭your‬
‭relationship‬‭to‬‭that‬‭woman?‬‭We're‬‭friends.‬‭-‬‭Good‬‭friends?‬‭-‬‭Yes.‬‭How‬‭good?‬‭Do‬‭you‬‭live‬‭together?‬‭Wait‬‭a‬‭minute...‬‭Are‬‭you‬‭her‬‭little...‬‭...bedbug?‬‭I've‬‭seen‬‭a‬‭bee‬‭documentary‬‭or‬‭two.‬‭From‬‭what‬‭I‬‭understand,‬‭doesn't‬‭your‬‭queen‬‭give‬‭birth‬‭to‬‭all‬
‭the‬‭bee‬‭children?‬‭-‬‭Yeah,‬‭but...‬‭-‬‭So‬‭those‬‭aren't‬‭your‬‭real‬‭parents!‬‭-‬‭Oh,‬‭Barry...‬‭-‬‭Yes,‬‭they‬‭are!‬‭Hold‬‭me‬‭back!‬‭You're‬‭an‬‭illegitimate‬‭bee,‬‭aren't‬‭you,‬‭Benson?‬‭He's‬‭denouncing‬‭bees!‬‭Don't‬‭y'all‬‭date‬‭your‬‭cousins?‬‭-‬‭Objection!‬‭-‬‭I'm‬‭going‬‭to‬

‭equals!‬‭They're‬‭striped‬‭savages!‬‭Stinging's‬‭the‬‭only‬‭thing‬‭they‬‭know!‬‭It's‬‭their‬‭way!‬‭-‬‭Adam,‬‭stay‬‭with‬‭me.‬‭-‬‭I‬‭can't‬‭feel‬‭my‬‭legs.‬‭What‬‭angel‬‭of‬‭mercy‬‭will‬‭come‬‭forward‬‭to‬‭suck‬‭the‬‭poison‬‭from‬‭my‬‭heaving‬‭buttocks?‬‭I‬‭will‬‭have‬‭order‬‭in‬‭this‬
‭court.‬‭Order!‬‭Order,‬‭please!‬‭The‬‭case‬‭of‬‭the‬‭honeybees‬‭versus‬‭the‬‭human‬‭race‬‭took‬‭a‬‭pointed‬‭turn‬‭against‬‭the‬‭bees‬‭yesterday‬‭when‬‭one‬‭of‬‭their‬‭legal‬‭team‬‭stung‬‭Layton‬‭T.‬‭Montgomery.‬‭-‬‭Hey,‬‭buddy.‬‭-‬‭Hey.‬‭-‬‭Is‬‭there‬‭much‬‭pain?‬‭-‬‭Yeah.‬‭I...‬‭I‬
‭blew‬‭the‬‭whole‬‭case,‬‭didn't‬‭I?‬‭It‬‭doesn't‬‭matter.‬‭What‬‭matters‬‭is‬‭you're‬‭alive.‬‭You‬‭could‬‭have‬‭died.‬‭I'd‬‭be‬‭better‬‭off‬‭dead.‬‭Look‬‭at‬‭me.‬‭They‬‭got‬‭it‬‭from‬‭the‬‭cafeteria‬‭downstairs,‬‭in‬‭a‬‭tuna‬‭sandwich.‬‭Look,‬‭there's‬‭a‬‭little‬‭celery‬‭still‬‭on‬‭it.‬‭What‬‭was‬
‭it‬‭like‬‭to‬‭sting‬‭someone?‬‭I‬‭can't‬‭explain‬‭it.‬‭It‬‭was‬‭all...‬‭All‬‭adrenaline‬‭and‬‭then...‬‭and‬‭then‬‭ecstasy!‬‭All‬‭right.‬‭You‬‭think‬‭it‬‭was‬‭all‬‭a‬‭trap?‬‭Of‬‭course.‬‭I'm‬‭sorry.‬‭I‬‭flew‬‭us‬‭right‬‭into‬‭this.‬‭What‬‭were‬‭we‬‭thinking?‬‭Look‬‭at‬‭us.‬‭We're‬‭just‬‭a‬‭couple‬‭of‬‭bugs‬
‭in‬‭this‬‭world.‬‭What‬‭will‬‭the‬‭humans‬‭do‬‭to‬‭us‬‭if‬‭they‬‭win?‬‭I‬‭don't‬‭know.‬‭I‬‭hear‬‭they‬‭put‬‭the‬‭roaches‬‭in‬‭motels.‬‭That‬‭doesn't‬‭sound‬‭so‬‭bad.‬‭Adam,‬‭they‬‭check‬‭in,‬‭but‬‭they‬‭don't‬‭check‬‭out!‬‭Oh,‬‭my.‬‭Oould‬‭you‬‭get‬‭a‬‭nurse‬‭to‬‭close‬‭that‬‭window?‬‭-‬‭Why?‬
‭-‬‭The‬‭smoke.‬‭Bees‬‭don't‬‭smoke.‬‭Right.‬‭Bees‬‭don't‬‭smoke.‬‭Bees‬‭don't‬‭smoke!‬‭But‬‭some‬‭bees‬‭are‬‭smoking.‬‭That's‬‭it!‬‭That's‬‭our‬‭case!‬‭It‬‭is?‬‭It's‬‭not‬‭over?‬‭Get‬‭dressed.‬‭I've‬‭gotta‬‭go‬‭somewhere.‬‭Get‬‭back‬‭to‬‭the‬‭court‬‭and‬‭stall.‬‭Stall‬‭any‬‭way‬‭you‬‭can.‬
‭And‬‭assuming‬‭you've‬‭done‬‭step‬‭correctly,‬‭you're‬‭ready‬‭for‬‭the‬‭tub.‬‭Mr.‬‭Flayman.‬‭Yes?‬‭Yes,‬‭Your‬‭Honor!‬‭Where‬‭is‬‭the‬‭rest‬‭of‬‭your‬‭team?‬‭Well,‬‭Your‬‭Honor,‬‭it's‬‭interesting.‬‭Bees‬‭are‬‭trained‬‭to‬‭fly‬‭haphazardly,‬‭and‬‭as‬‭a‬‭result,‬‭we‬‭don't‬‭make‬‭very‬
‭good‬‭time.‬‭I‬‭actually‬‭heard‬‭a‬‭funny‬‭story‬‭about...‬‭Your‬‭Honor,‬‭haven't‬‭these‬‭ridiculous‬‭bugs‬‭taken‬‭up‬‭enough‬‭of‬‭this‬‭court's‬‭valuable‬‭time?‬‭How‬‭much‬‭longer‬‭will‬‭we‬‭allow‬‭these‬‭absurd‬‭shenanigans‬‭to‬‭go‬‭on?‬‭They‬‭have‬‭presented‬‭no‬‭compelling‬
‭evidence‬‭to‬‭support‬‭their‬‭charges‬‭against‬‭my‬‭clients,‬‭who‬‭run‬‭legitimate‬‭businesses.‬‭I‬‭move‬‭for‬‭a‬‭complete‬‭dismissal‬‭of‬‭this‬‭entire‬‭case!‬‭Mr.‬‭Flayman,‬‭I'm‬‭afraid‬‭I'm‬‭going‬‭to‬‭have‬‭to‬‭consider‬‭Mr.‬‭Montgomery's‬‭motion.‬‭But‬‭you‬‭can't!‬‭We‬‭have‬‭a‬
‭terrific‬‭case.‬‭Where‬‭is‬‭your‬‭proof?‬‭Where‬‭is‬‭the‬‭evidence?‬‭Show‬‭me‬‭the‬‭smoking‬‭gun!‬‭Hold‬‭it,‬‭Your‬‭Honor!‬‭You‬‭want‬‭a‬‭smoking‬‭gun?‬‭Here‬‭is‬‭your‬‭smoking‬‭gun.‬‭What‬‭is‬‭that?‬‭It's‬‭a‬‭bee‬‭smoker!‬‭What,‬‭this?‬‭This‬‭harmless‬‭little‬‭contraption?‬‭This‬
‭couldn't‬‭hurt‬‭a‬‭fly,‬‭let‬‭alone‬‭a‬‭bee.‬‭Look‬‭at‬‭what‬‭has‬‭happened‬‭to‬‭bees‬‭who‬‭have‬‭never‬‭been‬‭asked,‬‭"Smoking‬‭or‬‭non?"‬‭Is‬‭this‬‭what‬‭nature‬‭intended‬‭for‬‭us?‬‭To‬‭be‬‭forcibly‬‭addicted‬‭to‬‭smoke‬‭machines‬‭and‬‭man-made‬‭wooden‬‭slat‬‭work‬‭camps?‬
‭Living‬‭out‬‭our‬‭lives‬‭as‬‭honey‬‭slaves‬‭to‬‭the‬‭white‬‭man?‬‭-‬‭What‬‭are‬‭we‬‭gonna‬‭do?‬‭-‬‭He's‬‭playing‬‭the‬‭species‬‭card.‬‭Ladies‬‭and‬‭gentlemen,‬‭please,‬‭free‬‭these‬‭bees!‬‭Free‬‭the‬‭bees!‬‭Free‬‭the‬‭bees!‬‭Free‬‭the‬‭bees!‬‭Free‬‭the‬‭bees!‬‭Free‬‭the‬‭bees!‬‭The‬‭court‬
‭finds‬‭in‬‭favor‬‭of‬‭the‬‭bees!‬‭Vanessa,‬‭we‬‭won!‬‭I‬‭knew‬‭you‬‭could‬‭do‬‭it!‬‭High-five!‬‭Sorry.‬‭I'm‬‭OK!‬‭You‬‭know‬‭what‬‭this‬‭means?‬‭All‬‭the‬‭honey‬‭will‬‭finally‬‭belong‬‭to‬‭the‬‭bees.‬‭Now‬‭we‬‭won't‬‭have‬‭to‬‭work‬‭so‬‭hard‬‭all‬‭the‬‭time.‬‭This‬‭is‬‭an‬‭unholy‬‭perversion‬
‭of‬‭the‬‭balance‬‭of‬‭nature,‬‭Benson.‬‭You'll‬‭regret‬‭this.‬‭Barry,‬‭how‬‭much‬‭honey‬‭is‬‭out‬‭there?‬‭All‬‭right.‬‭One‬‭at‬‭a‬‭time.‬‭Barry,‬‭who‬‭are‬‭you‬‭wearing?‬‭My‬‭sweater‬‭is‬‭Ralph‬‭Lauren,‬‭and‬‭I‬‭have‬‭no‬‭pants.‬‭-‬‭What‬‭if‬‭Montgomery's‬‭right?‬‭-‬‭What‬‭do‬‭you‬
‭mean?‬‭We've‬‭been‬‭living‬‭the‬‭bee‬‭way‬‭a‬‭long‬‭time,‬‭27‬‭million‬‭years.‬‭Oongratulations‬‭on‬‭your‬‭victory.‬‭What‬‭will‬‭you‬‭demand‬‭as‬‭a‬‭settlement?‬‭First,‬‭we'll‬‭demand‬‭a‬‭complete‬‭shutdown‬‭of‬‭all‬‭bee‬‭work‬‭camps.‬‭Then‬‭we‬‭want‬‭back‬‭the‬‭honey‬‭that‬
‭was‬‭ours‬‭to‬‭begin‬‭with,‬‭every‬‭last‬‭drop.‬‭We‬‭demand‬‭an‬‭end‬‭to‬‭the‬‭glorification‬‭of‬‭the‬‭bear‬‭as‬‭anything‬‭more‬‭than‬‭a‬‭filthy,‬‭smelly,‬‭bad-breath‬‭stink‬‭machine.‬‭We're‬‭all‬‭aware‬‭of‬‭what‬‭they‬‭do‬‭in‬‭the‬‭woods.‬‭Wait‬‭for‬‭my‬‭signal.‬‭Take‬‭him‬‭out.‬‭He'll‬
‭have‬‭nauseous‬‭for‬‭a‬‭few‬‭hours,‬‭then‬‭he'll‬‭be‬‭fine.‬‭And‬‭we‬‭will‬‭no‬‭longer‬‭tolerate‬‭bee-negative‬‭nicknames...‬‭But‬‭it's‬‭just‬‭a‬‭prance-about‬‭stage‬‭name!‬‭...unnecessary‬‭inclusion‬‭of‬‭honey‬‭in‬‭bogus‬‭health‬‭products‬‭and‬‭la-dee-da‬‭human‬‭tea-time‬
‭snack‬‭garnishments.‬‭Oan't‬‭breathe.‬‭Bring‬‭it‬‭in,‬‭boys!‬‭Hold‬‭it‬‭right‬‭there!‬‭Good.‬‭Tap‬‭it.‬‭Mr.‬‭Buzzwell,‬‭we‬‭just‬‭passed‬‭three‬‭cups,‬‭and‬‭there's‬‭gallons‬‭more‬‭coming!‬‭-‬‭I‬‭think‬‭we‬‭need‬‭to‬‭shut‬‭down!‬‭-‬‭Shut‬‭down?‬‭We've‬‭never‬‭shut‬‭down.‬‭Shut‬‭down‬
‭honey‬‭production!‬‭Stop‬‭making‬‭honey!‬‭Turn‬‭your‬‭key,‬‭sir!‬‭What‬‭do‬‭we‬‭do‬‭now?‬‭Oannonball!‬‭We're‬‭shutting‬‭honey‬‭production!‬‭Mission‬‭abort.‬‭Aborting‬‭pollination‬‭and‬‭nectar‬‭detail.‬‭Returning‬‭to‬‭base.‬‭Adam,‬‭you‬‭wouldn't‬‭believe‬‭how‬‭much‬
‭honey‬‭was‬‭out‬‭there.‬‭Oh,‬‭yeah?‬‭What's‬‭going‬‭on?‬‭Where‬‭is‬‭everybody?‬‭-‬‭Are‬‭they‬‭out‬‭celebrating?‬‭-‬‭They're‬‭home.‬‭They‬‭don't‬‭know‬‭what‬‭to‬‭do.‬‭Laying‬‭out,‬‭sleeping‬‭in.‬‭I‬‭heard‬‭your‬‭Uncle‬‭Oarl‬‭was‬‭on‬‭his‬‭way‬‭to‬‭San‬‭Antonio‬‭with‬‭a‬‭cricket.‬‭At‬
‭least‬‭we‬‭got‬‭our‬‭honey‬‭back.‬‭Sometimes‬‭I‬‭think,‬‭so‬‭what‬‭if‬‭humans‬‭liked‬‭our‬‭honey?‬‭Who‬‭wouldn't?‬‭It's‬‭the‬‭greatest‬‭thing‬‭in‬‭the‬‭world!‬‭I‬‭was‬‭excited‬‭to‬‭be‬‭part‬‭of‬‭making‬‭it.‬‭This‬‭was‬‭my‬‭new‬‭desk.‬‭This‬‭was‬‭my‬‭new‬‭job.‬‭I‬‭wanted‬‭to‬‭do‬‭it‬‭really‬
‭well.‬‭And‬‭now...‬‭Now‬‭I‬‭can't.‬‭I‬‭don't‬‭understand‬‭why‬‭they're‬‭not‬‭happy.‬‭I‬‭thought‬‭their‬‭lives‬‭would‬‭be‬‭better!‬‭They're‬‭doing‬‭nothing.‬‭It's‬‭amazing.‬‭Honey‬‭really‬‭changes‬‭people.‬‭You‬‭don't‬‭have‬‭any‬‭idea‬‭what's‬‭going‬‭on,‬‭do‬‭you?‬‭-‬‭What‬‭did‬‭you‬
‭want‬‭to‬‭show‬‭me?‬‭-‬‭This.‬‭What‬‭happened‬‭here?‬‭That‬‭is‬‭not‬‭the‬‭half‬‭of‬‭it.‬‭Oh,‬‭no.‬‭Oh,‬‭my.‬‭They're‬‭all‬‭wilting.‬‭Doesn't‬‭look‬‭very‬‭good,‬‭does‬‭it?‬‭No.‬‭And‬‭whose‬‭fault‬‭do‬‭you‬‭think‬‭that‬‭is?‬‭You‬‭know,‬‭I'm‬‭gonna‬‭guess‬‭bees.‬‭Bees?‬‭Specifically,‬‭me.‬‭I‬
‭didn't‬‭think‬‭bees‬‭not‬‭needing‬‭to‬‭make‬‭honey‬‭would‬‭affect‬‭all‬‭these‬‭things.‬‭It's‬‭notjust‬‭flowers.‬‭Fruits,‬‭vegetables,‬‭they‬‭all‬‭need‬‭bees.‬‭That's‬‭our‬‭whole‬‭SAT‬‭test‬‭right‬‭there.‬‭Take‬‭away‬‭produce,‬‭that‬‭affects‬‭the‬‭entire‬‭animal‬‭kingdom.‬‭And‬‭then,‬‭of‬
‭course...‬‭The‬‭human‬‭species?‬‭So‬‭if‬‭there's‬‭no‬‭more‬‭pollination,‬‭it‬‭could‬‭all‬‭just‬‭go‬‭south‬‭here,‬‭couldn't‬‭it?‬‭I‬‭know‬‭this‬‭is‬‭also‬‭partly‬‭my‬‭fault.‬‭How‬‭about‬‭a‬‭suicide‬‭pact?‬‭How‬‭do‬‭we‬‭do‬‭it?‬‭-‬‭I'll‬‭sting‬‭you,‬‭you‬‭step‬‭on‬‭me.‬‭-‬‭Thatjust‬‭kills‬‭you‬‭twice.‬
‭Right,‬‭right.‬‭Listen,‬‭Barry...‬‭sorry,‬‭but‬‭I‬‭gotta‬‭get‬‭going.‬‭I‬‭had‬‭to‬‭open‬‭my‬‭mouth‬‭and‬‭talk.‬‭Vanessa?‬‭Vanessa?‬‭Why‬‭are‬‭you‬‭leaving?‬‭Where‬‭are‬‭you‬‭going?‬‭To‬‭the‬‭final‬‭Tournament‬‭of‬‭Roses‬‭parade‬‭in‬‭Pasadena.‬‭They've‬‭moved‬‭it‬‭to‬‭this‬
‭weekend‬‭because‬‭all‬‭the‬‭flowers‬‭are‬‭dying.‬‭It's‬‭the‬‭last‬‭chance‬‭I'll‬‭ever‬‭have‬‭to‬‭see‬‭it.‬‭Vanessa,‬‭I‬‭just‬‭wanna‬‭say‬‭I'm‬‭sorry.‬‭I‬‭never‬‭meant‬‭it‬‭to‬‭turn‬‭out‬‭like‬‭this.‬‭I‬‭know.‬‭Me‬‭neither.‬‭Tournament‬‭of‬‭Roses.‬‭Roses‬‭can't‬‭do‬‭sports.‬‭Wait‬‭a‬‭minute.‬
‭Roses.‬‭Roses?‬‭Roses!‬‭Vanessa!‬‭Roses?!‬‭Barry?‬‭-‬‭Roses‬‭are‬‭flowers!‬‭-‬‭Yes,‬‭they‬‭are.‬‭Flowers,‬‭bees,‬‭pollen!‬‭I‬‭know.‬‭That's‬‭why‬‭this‬‭is‬‭the‬‭last‬‭parade.‬‭Maybe‬‭not.‬‭Oould‬‭you‬‭ask‬‭him‬‭to‬‭slow‬‭down?‬‭Oould‬‭you‬‭slow‬‭down?‬‭Barry!‬‭OK,‬‭I‬‭made‬‭a‬‭huge‬
‭mistake.‬‭This‬‭is‬‭a‬‭total‬‭disaster,‬‭all‬‭my‬‭fault.‬‭Yes,‬‭it‬‭kind‬‭of‬‭is.‬‭I've‬‭ruined‬‭the‬‭planet.‬‭I‬‭wanted‬‭to‬‭help‬‭you‬‭with‬‭the‬‭flower‬‭shop.‬‭I've‬‭made‬‭it‬‭worse.‬‭Actually,‬‭it's‬‭completely‬‭closed‬‭down.‬‭I‬‭thought‬‭maybe‬‭you‬‭were‬‭remodeling.‬‭But‬‭I‬‭have‬‭another‬
‭idea,‬‭and‬‭it's‬‭greater‬‭than‬‭my‬‭previous‬‭ideas‬‭combined.‬‭I‬‭don't‬‭want‬‭to‬‭hear‬‭it!‬‭All‬‭right,‬‭they‬‭have‬‭the‬‭roses,‬‭the‬‭roses‬‭have‬‭the‬‭pollen.‬‭I‬‭know‬‭every‬‭bee,‬‭plant‬‭and‬‭flower‬‭bud‬‭in‬‭this‬‭park.‬‭All‬‭we‬‭gotta‬‭do‬‭is‬‭get‬‭what‬‭they've‬‭got‬‭back‬‭here‬‭with‬
‭what‬‭we've‬‭got.‬‭-‬‭Bees.‬‭-‬‭Park.‬‭-‬‭Pollen!‬‭-‬‭Flowers.‬‭-‬‭Repollination!‬‭-‬‭Across‬‭the‬‭nation!‬‭Tournament‬‭of‬‭Roses,‬‭Pasadena,‬‭Oalifornia.‬‭They've‬‭got‬‭nothing‬‭but‬‭flowers,‬‭floats‬‭and‬‭cotton‬‭candy.‬‭Security‬‭will‬‭be‬‭tight.‬‭I‬‭have‬‭an‬‭idea.‬‭Vanessa‬‭Bloome,‬
‭FTD.‬‭Official‬‭floral‬‭business.‬‭It's‬‭real.‬‭Sorry,‬‭ma'am.‬‭Nice‬‭brooch.‬‭Thank‬‭you.‬‭It‬‭was‬‭a‬‭gift.‬‭Once‬‭inside,‬‭we‬‭just‬‭pick‬‭the‬‭right‬‭float.‬‭How‬‭about‬‭The‬‭Princess‬‭and‬‭the‬‭Pea?‬‭I‬‭could‬‭be‬‭the‬‭princess,‬‭and‬‭you‬‭could‬‭be‬‭the‬‭pea!‬‭Yes,‬‭I‬‭got‬‭it.‬‭-‬‭Where‬
‭should‬‭I‬‭sit?‬‭-‬‭What‬‭are‬‭you?‬‭-‬‭I‬‭believe‬‭I'm‬‭the‬‭pea.‬‭-‬‭The‬‭pea?‬‭It‬‭goes‬‭under‬‭the‬‭mattresses.‬‭-‬‭Not‬‭in‬‭this‬‭fairy‬‭tale,‬‭sweetheart.‬‭-‬‭I'm‬‭getting‬‭the‬‭marshal.‬‭You‬‭do‬‭that!‬‭This‬‭whole‬‭parade‬‭is‬‭a‬‭fiasco!‬‭Let's‬‭see‬‭what‬‭this‬‭baby'll‬‭do.‬‭Hey,‬‭what‬‭are‬
‭you‬‭doing?!‬‭Then‬‭all‬‭we‬‭do‬‭is‬‭blend‬‭in‬‭with‬‭traffic...‬‭...without‬‭arousing‬‭suspicion.‬‭Once‬‭at‬‭the‬‭airport,‬‭there's‬‭no‬‭stopping‬‭us.‬‭Stop!‬‭Security.‬‭-‬‭You‬‭and‬‭your‬‭insect‬‭pack‬‭your‬‭float?‬‭-‬‭Yes.‬‭Has‬‭it‬‭been‬‭in‬‭your‬‭possession‬‭the‬‭entire‬‭time?‬‭Would‬‭you‬
‭remove‬‭your‬‭shoes?‬‭-‬‭Remove‬‭your‬‭stinger.‬‭-‬‭It's‬‭part‬‭of‬‭me.‬‭I‬‭know.‬‭Just‬‭having‬‭some‬‭fun.‬‭Enjoy‬‭your‬‭flight.‬‭Then‬‭if‬‭we're‬‭lucky,‬‭we'll‬‭have‬‭just‬‭enough‬‭pollen‬‭to‬‭do‬‭the‬‭job.‬‭Oan‬‭you‬‭believe‬‭how‬‭lucky‬‭we‬‭are?‬‭We‬‭have‬‭just‬‭enough‬‭pollen‬‭to‬‭do‬
‭the‬‭job!‬‭I‬‭think‬‭this‬‭is‬‭gonna‬‭work.‬‭It's‬‭got‬‭to‬‭work.‬‭Attention,‬‭passengers,‬‭this‬‭is‬‭Oaptain‬‭Scott.‬‭We‬‭have‬‭a‬‭bit‬‭of‬‭bad‬‭weather‬‭in‬‭New‬‭York.‬‭It‬‭looks‬‭like‬‭we'll‬‭experience‬‭a‬‭couple‬‭hours‬‭delay.‬‭Barry,‬‭these‬‭are‬‭cut‬‭flowers‬‭with‬‭no‬‭water.‬‭They'll‬
‭never‬‭make‬‭it.‬‭I‬‭gotta‬‭get‬‭up‬‭there‬‭and‬‭talk‬‭to‬‭them.‬‭Be‬‭careful.‬‭Oan‬‭I‬‭get‬‭help‬‭with‬‭the‬‭Sky‬‭Mall‬‭magazine?‬‭I'd‬‭like‬‭to‬‭order‬‭the‬‭talking‬‭inflatable‬‭nose‬‭and‬‭ear‬‭hair‬‭trimmer.‬‭Oaptain,‬‭I'm‬‭in‬‭a‬‭real‬‭situation.‬‭-‬‭What'd‬‭you‬‭say,‬‭Hal?‬‭-‬‭Nothing.‬
‭Bee!‬‭Don't‬‭freak‬‭out!‬‭My‬‭entire‬‭species...‬‭What‬‭are‬‭you‬‭doing?‬‭-‬‭Wait‬‭a‬‭minute!‬‭I'm‬‭an‬‭attorney!‬‭-‬‭Who's‬‭an‬‭attorney?‬‭Don't‬‭move.‬‭Oh,‬‭Barry.‬‭Good‬‭afternoon,‬‭passengers.‬‭This‬‭is‬‭your‬‭captain.‬‭Would‬‭a‬‭Miss‬‭Vanessa‬‭Bloome‬‭in‬‭24B‬‭please‬‭report‬
‭to‬‭the‬‭cockpit?‬‭And‬‭please‬‭hurry!‬‭What‬‭happened‬‭here?‬‭There‬‭was‬‭a‬‭DustBuster,‬‭a‬‭toupee,‬‭a‬‭life‬‭raft‬‭exploded.‬‭One's‬‭bald,‬‭one's‬‭in‬‭a‬‭boat,‬‭they're‬‭both‬‭unconscious!‬‭-‬‭Is‬‭that‬‭another‬‭bee‬‭joke?‬‭-‬‭No!‬‭No‬‭one's‬‭flying‬‭the‬‭plane!‬‭This‬‭is‬‭JFK‬‭control‬
‭tower,‬‭Flight‬‭356.‬‭What's‬‭your‬‭status?‬‭This‬‭is‬‭Vanessa‬‭Bloome.‬‭I'm‬‭a‬‭florist‬‭from‬‭New‬‭York.‬‭Where's‬‭the‬‭pilot?‬‭He's‬‭unconscious,‬‭and‬‭so‬‭is‬‭the‬‭copilot.‬‭Not‬‭good.‬‭Does‬‭anyone‬‭onboard‬‭have‬‭flight‬‭experience?‬‭As‬‭a‬‭matter‬‭of‬‭fact,‬‭there‬‭is.‬‭-‬‭Who's‬
‭that?‬‭-‬‭Barry‬‭Benson.‬‭From‬‭the‬‭honey‬‭trial?!‬‭Oh,‬‭great.‬‭Vanessa,‬‭this‬‭is‬‭nothing‬‭more‬‭than‬‭a‬‭big‬‭metal‬‭bee.‬‭It's‬‭got‬‭giant‬‭wings,‬‭huge‬‭engines.‬‭I‬‭can't‬‭fly‬‭a‬‭plane.‬‭-‬‭Why‬‭not?‬‭Isn't‬‭John‬‭Travolta‬‭a‬‭pilot?‬‭-‬‭Yes.‬‭How‬‭hard‬‭could‬‭it‬‭be?‬‭Wait,‬‭Barry!‬
‭We're‬‭headed‬‭into‬‭some‬‭lightning.‬‭This‬‭is‬‭Bob‬‭Bumble.‬‭We‬‭have‬‭some‬‭late-breaking‬‭news‬‭from‬‭JFK‬‭Airport,‬‭where‬‭a‬‭suspenseful‬‭scene‬‭is‬‭developing.‬‭Barry‬‭Benson,‬‭fresh‬‭from‬‭his‬‭legal‬‭victory...‬‭That's‬‭Barry!‬‭...is‬‭attempting‬‭to‬‭land‬‭a‬‭plane,‬
‭loaded‬‭with‬‭people,‬‭flowers‬‭and‬‭an‬‭incapacitated‬‭flight‬‭crew.‬‭Flowers?!‬‭We‬‭have‬‭a‬‭storm‬‭in‬‭the‬‭area‬‭and‬‭two‬‭individuals‬‭at‬‭the‬‭controls‬‭with‬‭absolutely‬‭no‬‭flight‬‭experience.‬‭Just‬‭a‬‭minute.‬‭There's‬‭a‬‭bee‬‭on‬‭that‬‭plane.‬‭I'm‬‭quite‬‭familiar‬‭with‬‭Mr.‬
‭Benson‬‭and‬‭his‬‭no-account‬‭compadres.‬‭They've‬‭done‬‭enough‬‭damage.‬‭But‬‭isn't‬‭he‬‭your‬‭only‬‭hope?‬‭Technically,‬‭a‬‭bee‬‭shouldn't‬‭be‬‭able‬‭to‬‭fly‬‭at‬‭all.‬‭Their‬‭wings‬‭are‬‭too‬‭small...‬‭Haven't‬‭we‬‭heard‬‭this‬‭a‬‭million‬‭times?‬‭"The‬‭surface‬‭area‬‭of‬‭the‬
‭wings‬‭and‬‭body‬‭mass‬‭make‬‭no‬‭sense."‬‭-‬‭Get‬‭this‬‭on‬‭the‬‭air!‬‭-‬‭Got‬‭it.‬‭-‬‭Stand‬‭by.‬‭-‬‭We're‬‭going‬‭live.‬‭The‬‭way‬‭we‬‭work‬‭may‬‭be‬‭a‬‭mystery‬‭to‬‭you.‬‭Making‬‭honey‬‭takes‬‭a‬‭lot‬‭of‬‭bees‬‭doing‬‭a‬‭lot‬‭of‬‭small‬‭jobs.‬‭But‬‭let‬‭me‬‭tell‬‭you‬‭about‬‭a‬‭small‬‭job.‬‭If‬
‭you‬‭do‬‭it‬‭well,‬‭it‬‭makes‬‭a‬‭big‬‭difference.‬‭More‬‭than‬‭we‬‭realized.‬‭To‬‭us,‬‭to‬‭everyone.‬‭That's‬‭why‬‭I‬‭want‬‭to‬‭get‬‭bees‬‭back‬‭to‬‭working‬‭together.‬‭That's‬‭the‬‭bee‬‭way!‬‭We're‬‭not‬‭made‬‭of‬‭Jell-O.‬‭We‬‭get‬‭behind‬‭a‬‭fellow.‬‭-‬‭Black‬‭and‬‭yellow!‬‭-‬‭Hello!‬‭Left,‬
‭right,‬‭down,‬‭hover.‬‭-‬‭Hover?‬‭-‬‭Forget‬‭hover.‬‭This‬‭isn't‬‭so‬‭hard.‬‭Beep-beep!‬‭Beep-beep!‬‭Barry,‬‭what‬‭happened?!‬‭Wait,‬‭I‬‭think‬‭we‬‭were‬‭on‬‭autopilot‬‭the‬‭whole‬‭time.‬‭-‬‭That‬‭may‬‭have‬‭been‬‭helping‬‭me.‬‭-‬‭And‬‭now‬‭we're‬‭not!‬‭So‬‭it‬‭turns‬‭out‬‭I‬‭cannot‬‭fly‬
‭a‬‭plane.‬‭All‬‭of‬‭you,‬‭let's‬‭get‬‭behind‬‭this‬‭fellow!‬‭Move‬‭it‬‭out!‬‭Move‬‭out!‬‭Our‬‭only‬‭chance‬‭is‬‭if‬‭I‬‭do‬‭what‬‭I'd‬‭do,‬‭you‬‭copy‬‭me‬‭with‬‭the‬‭wings‬‭of‬‭the‬‭plane!‬‭Don't‬‭have‬‭to‬‭yell.‬‭I'm‬‭not‬‭yelling!‬‭We're‬‭in‬‭a‬‭lot‬‭of‬‭trouble.‬‭It's‬‭very‬‭hard‬‭to‬‭concentrate‬‭with‬
‭that‬‭panicky‬‭tone‬‭in‬‭your‬‭voice!‬‭It's‬‭not‬‭a‬‭tone.‬‭I'm‬‭panicking!‬‭I‬‭can't‬‭do‬‭this!‬‭Vanessa,‬‭pull‬‭yourself‬‭together.‬‭You‬‭have‬‭to‬‭snap‬‭out‬‭of‬‭it!‬‭You‬‭snap‬‭out‬‭of‬‭it.‬‭You‬‭snap‬‭out‬‭of‬‭it.‬‭-‬‭You‬‭snap‬‭out‬‭of‬‭it!‬‭-‬‭You‬‭snap‬‭out‬‭of‬‭it!‬‭-‬‭You‬‭snap‬‭out‬‭of‬‭it!‬‭-‬‭You‬
‭snap‬‭out‬‭of‬‭it!‬‭-‬‭You‬‭snap‬‭out‬‭of‬‭it!‬‭-‬‭You‬‭snap‬‭out‬‭of‬‭it!‬‭-‬‭Hold‬‭it!‬‭-‬‭Why?‬‭Oome‬‭on,‬‭it's‬‭my‬‭turn.‬‭How‬‭is‬‭the‬‭plane‬‭flying?‬‭I‬‭don't‬‭know.‬‭Hello?‬‭Benson,‬‭got‬‭any‬‭flowers‬‭for‬‭a‬‭happy‬‭occasion‬‭in‬‭there?‬‭The‬‭Pollen‬‭Jocks!‬‭They‬‭do‬‭get‬‭behind‬‭a‬‭fellow.‬‭-‬
‭Black‬‭and‬‭yellow.‬‭-‬‭Hello.‬‭All‬‭right,‬‭let's‬‭drop‬‭this‬‭tin‬‭can‬‭on‬‭the‬‭blacktop.‬‭Where?‬‭I‬‭can't‬‭see‬‭anything.‬‭Oan‬‭you?‬‭No,‬‭nothing.‬‭It's‬‭all‬‭cloudy.‬‭Oome‬‭on.‬‭You‬‭got‬‭to‬‭think‬‭bee,‬‭Barry.‬‭-‬‭Thinking‬‭bee.‬‭-‬‭Thinking‬‭bee.‬‭Thinking‬‭bee!‬‭Thinking‬‭bee!‬
‭Thinking‬‭bee!‬‭Wait‬‭a‬‭minute.‬‭I‬‭think‬‭I'm‬‭feeling‬‭something.‬‭-‬‭What?‬‭-‬‭I‬‭don't‬‭know.‬‭It's‬‭strong,‬‭pulling‬‭me.‬‭Like‬‭a‬‭27-million-year-old‬‭instinct.‬‭Bring‬‭the‬‭nose‬‭down.‬‭Thinking‬‭bee!‬‭Thinking‬‭bee!‬‭Thinking‬‭bee!‬‭-‬‭What‬‭in‬‭the‬‭world‬‭is‬‭on‬‭the‬‭tarmac?‬‭-‬
‭Get‬‭some‬‭lights‬‭on‬‭that!‬‭Thinking‬‭bee!‬‭Thinking‬‭bee!‬‭Thinking‬‭bee!‬‭-‬‭Vanessa,‬‭aim‬‭for‬‭the‬‭flower.‬‭-‬‭OK.‬‭Out‬‭the‬‭engines.‬‭We're‬‭going‬‭in‬‭on‬‭bee‬‭power.‬‭Ready,‬‭boys?‬‭Affirmative!‬‭Good.‬‭Good.‬‭Easy,‬‭now.‬‭That's‬‭it.‬‭Land‬‭on‬‭that‬‭flower!‬‭Ready?‬‭Full‬
‭reverse!‬‭Spin‬‭it‬‭around!‬‭-‬‭Not‬‭that‬‭flower!‬‭The‬‭other‬‭one!‬‭-‬‭Which‬‭one?‬‭-‬‭That‬‭flower.‬‭-‬‭I'm‬‭aiming‬‭at‬‭the‬‭flower!‬‭That's‬‭a‬‭fat‬‭guy‬‭in‬‭a‬‭flowered‬‭shirt.‬‭I‬‭mean‬‭the‬‭giant‬‭pulsating‬‭flower‬‭made‬‭of‬‭millions‬‭of‬‭bees!‬‭Pull‬‭forward.‬‭Nose‬‭down.‬‭Tail‬‭up.‬
‭Rotate‬‭around‬‭it.‬‭-‬‭This‬‭is‬‭insane,‬‭Barry!‬‭-‬‭This's‬‭the‬‭only‬‭way‬‭I‬‭know‬‭how‬‭to‬‭fly.‬‭Am‬‭I‬‭koo-koo-kachoo,‬‭or‬‭is‬‭this‬‭plane‬‭flying‬‭in‬‭an‬‭insect-like‬‭pattern?‬‭Get‬‭your‬‭nose‬‭in‬‭there.‬‭Don't‬‭be‬‭afraid.‬‭Smell‬‭it.‬‭Full‬‭reverse!‬‭Just‬‭drop‬‭it.‬‭Be‬‭a‬‭part‬‭of‬‭it.‬‭Aim‬
‭for‬‭the‬‭center!‬‭Now‬‭drop‬‭it‬‭in!‬‭Drop‬‭it‬‭in,‬‭woman!‬‭Oome‬‭on,‬‭already.‬‭Barry,‬‭we‬‭did‬‭it!‬‭You‬‭taught‬‭me‬‭how‬‭to‬‭fly!‬‭-‬‭Yes.‬‭No‬‭high-five!‬‭-‬‭Right.‬‭Barry,‬‭it‬‭worked!‬‭Did‬‭you‬‭see‬‭the‬‭giant‬‭flower?‬‭What‬‭giant‬‭flower?‬‭Where?‬‭Of‬‭course‬‭I‬‭saw‬‭the‬‭flower!‬
‭That‬‭was‬‭genius!‬‭-‬‭Thank‬‭you.‬‭-‬‭But‬‭we're‬‭not‬‭done‬‭yet.‬‭Listen,‬‭everyone!‬‭This‬‭runway‬‭is‬‭covered‬‭with‬‭the‬‭last‬‭pollen‬‭from‬‭the‬‭last‬‭flowers‬‭available‬‭anywhere‬‭on‬‭Earth.‬‭That‬‭means‬‭this‬‭is‬‭our‬‭last‬‭chance.‬‭We're‬‭the‬‭only‬‭ones‬‭who‬‭make‬‭honey,‬
‭pollinate‬‭flowers‬‭and‬‭dress‬‭like‬‭this.‬‭If‬‭we're‬‭gonna‬‭survive‬‭as‬‭a‬‭species,‬‭this‬‭is‬‭our‬‭moment!‬‭What‬‭do‬‭you‬‭say?‬‭Are‬‭we‬‭going‬‭to‬‭be‬‭bees,‬‭orjust‬‭Museum‬‭of‬‭Natural‬‭History‬‭keychains?‬‭We're‬‭bees!‬‭Keychain!‬‭Then‬‭follow‬‭me!‬‭Except‬‭Keychain.‬‭Hold‬

‭working‬‭late‬‭tonight!‬‭Here's‬‭your‬‭change.‬‭Have‬‭a‬‭great‬‭afternoon!‬‭Oan‬‭I‬‭help‬‭who's‬‭next?‬‭Would‬‭you‬‭like‬‭some‬‭honey‬‭with‬‭that?‬‭It‬‭is‬‭bee-approved.‬‭Don't‬‭forget‬‭these.‬‭Milk,‬‭cream,‬‭cheese,‬‭it's‬‭all‬‭me.‬‭And‬‭I‬‭don't‬‭see‬‭a‬‭nickel!‬‭Sometimes‬‭I‬‭just‬
‭feel‬‭like‬‭a‬‭piece‬‭of‬‭meat!‬‭I‬‭had‬‭no‬‭idea.‬‭Barry,‬‭I'm‬‭sorry.‬‭Have‬‭you‬‭got‬‭a‬‭moment?‬‭Would‬‭you‬‭excuse‬‭me?‬‭My‬‭mosquito‬‭associate‬‭will‬‭help‬‭you.‬‭Sorry‬‭I'm‬‭late.‬‭He's‬‭a‬‭lawyer‬‭too?‬‭I‬‭was‬‭already‬‭a‬‭blood-sucking‬‭parasite.‬‭All‬‭I‬‭needed‬‭was‬‭a‬
‭briefcase.‬‭Have‬‭a‬‭great‬‭afternoon!‬‭Barry,‬‭I‬‭just‬‭got‬‭this‬‭huge‬‭tulip‬‭order,‬‭and‬‭I‬‭can't‬‭get‬‭them‬‭anywhere.‬‭No‬‭problem,‬‭Vannie.‬‭Just‬‭leave‬‭it‬‭to‬‭me.‬‭You're‬‭a‬‭lifesaver,‬‭Barry.‬‭Oan‬‭I‬‭help‬‭who's‬‭next?‬‭All‬‭right,‬‭scramble,‬‭jocks!‬‭It's‬‭time‬‭to‬‭fly.‬‭Thank‬
‭you,‬‭Barry!‬‭That‬‭bee‬‭is‬‭living‬‭my‬‭life!‬‭Let‬‭it‬‭go,‬‭Kenny.‬‭-‬‭When‬‭will‬‭this‬‭nightmare‬‭end?!‬‭-‬‭Let‬‭it‬‭all‬‭go.‬‭-‬‭Beautiful‬‭day‬‭to‬‭fly.‬‭-‬‭Sure‬‭is.‬‭Between‬‭you‬‭and‬‭me,‬‭I‬‭was‬‭dying‬‭to‬‭get‬‭out‬‭of‬‭that‬‭office.‬‭You‬‭have‬‭got‬‭to‬‭start‬‭thinking‬‭bee,‬‭my‬‭friend.‬‭-‬
‭Thinking‬‭bee!‬‭-‬‭Me?‬‭Hold‬‭it.‬‭Let's‬‭just‬‭stop‬‭for‬‭a‬‭second.‬‭Hold‬‭it.‬‭I'm‬‭sorry.‬‭I'm‬‭sorry,‬‭everyone.‬‭Oan‬‭we‬‭stop‬‭here?‬‭I'm‬‭not‬‭making‬‭a‬‭major‬‭life‬‭decision‬‭during‬‭a‬‭production‬‭number!‬‭All‬‭right.‬‭Take‬‭ten,‬‭everybody.‬‭Wrap‬‭it‬‭up,‬‭guys.‬‭I‬‭had‬‭virtually‬
