Special day, graduation. +ADAM: +Never thought I'd make it. +(Barry pulls away from the house and continues driving) +BARRY: +Three days grade school, +three days high school... +ADAM: +Those were awkward. +BARRY: +Three days college. I'm glad I took +a day and hitchhiked around the hive. +ADAM== +You did come back different. +(Barry and Adam pass by Artie, who is jogging) +ARTIE: +- Hi, Barry! + +BARRY: +- Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good. +ADAM: +- Hear about Frankie? +BARRY: +- Yeah. +ADAM== +- You going to the funeral? +BARRY: +- No, I'm not going to his funeral. + : +Everybody knows, +sting someone, you die. + : +Don't waste it on a squirrel. +Such a hothead. +ADAM: +I guess he could have +just gotten out of the way. +(The car does a barrel roll on the loop-shaped bridge and lands on the +highway) + : +I love this incorporating +an amusement park into our regular day. +BARRY: +I guess that's why they say we don't need vacations. +(Barry parallel parks the car and together they fly over the graduating +students) +Boy, quite a bit of pomp... +under the circumstances. +(Barry and Adam sit down and put on their hats) + : +- Well, Adam, today we are men. + +ADAM: +- We are! +BARRY= +- Bee-men. +=ADAM= +- Amen! +BARRY AND ADAM: +Hallelujah! +(Barry and Adam both have a happy spasm) +ANNOUNCER: +Students, faculty, distinguished bees, + : +please welcome Dean Buzzwell. +DEAN BUZZWELL: +Welcome, New Hive Oity +graduating class of... + : +...9: + : +That concludes our ceremonies. + : +And begins your career +at Honex Industries! +ADAM: +Will we pick our job today? +(Adam and Barry get into a tour bus) +BARRY= +I heard it's just orientation. +(Tour buses rise out of the ground and the students are automatically +loaded into the buses) +TOUR GUIDE: +Heads up!

You're right. +TOUR GUIDE: +- At Honex, we constantly strive + : +to improve every aspect +of bee existence. + : +These bees are stress-testing +a new helmet technology. +(The bus passes by a Bee wearing a helmet who is being smashed into the +ground with fly-swatters, newspapers and boots. He lifts a thumbs up but +you can hear him groan) + : +ADAM== + +- What do you think he makes? +BARRY: +- Not enough. +TOUR GUIDE: +Here we have our latest advancement, +the Krelman. +(They pass by a turning wheel with Bees standing on pegs, who are each +wearing a finger-shaped hat) +Barry: +- Wow, What does that do? +TOUR GUIDE: +- Catches that little strand of honey + : +that hangs after you pour it. +Saves us millions. +ADAM: +(Intrigued) +Can anyone work on the Krelman? +TOUR GUIDE: +Of course. Most bee jobs are +small ones. +But bees know that every small job, +if it's done well, means a lot. + : +But choose carefully + : +because you'll stay in the job +you pick for the rest of your life. +(Everyone claps except for Barry) +BARRY: +The same job the rest of your life? +I didn't know that. +ADAM: + +What's the difference? +TOUR GUIDE: +You'll be happy to know that bees, +as a species, haven't had one day off + : +in 27 million years. +BARRY: +(Upset) +So you'll just work us to death? + : +We'll sure try. +(Everyone on the bus laughs except Barry. Barry and Adam are walking back +home together) +ADAM: +Wow! That blew my mind! +BARRY: +"What's the difference?" +How can you say that? + : +One job forever? +That's an insane choice to have to make. +ADAM: +I'm relieved. Now we only have +to make one decision in life. +BARRY: +But, Adam, how could they +never have told us that? +ADAM: +Why would you question anything? +We're bees. + : +We're the most perfectly +functioning society on Earth. + +BARRY: +You ever think maybe things +work a little too well here? +ADAM: +Like what? Give me one example. +(Barry and Adam stop walking and it is revealed to the audience that +hundreds of cars are speeding by and narrowly missing them in perfect +unison) +BARRY: +I don't know. But you know +what I'm talking about. +ANNOUNCER: +Please clear the gate. +Royal Nectar Force on approach. +BARRY: +Wait a second. Check it out. +(The Pollen jocks fly in, circle around and landing in line) + : +- Hey, those are Pollen Jocks! +ADAM: +- Wow. + : +I've never seen them this close. +BARRY: +They know what it's like +outside the hive. +ADAM: +Yeah, but some don't come back. +GIRL BEES: +- Hey, Jocks! +- Hi, Jocks! +(The Pollen Jocks hook up their backpacks to machines that pump the nectar +to trucks, which drive away) + +LOU LO DUVA: +You guys did great! + : +You're monsters! +You're sky freaks! +I love it! +(Punching the Pollen Jocks in joy) +I love it! +ADAM: +- I wonder where they were. +BARRY: +- I don't know. + : +Their day's not planned. + : +Outside the hive, flying who knows +where, doing who knows what. + : +You can't just decide to be a Pollen +Jock. You have to be bred for that. +ADAM== +Right. +(Barry and Adam are covered in some pollen that floated off of the Pollen +Jocks) +BARRY: +Look at that. That's more pollen +than you and I will see in a lifetime. +ADAM: +It's just a status symbol. +Bees make too much of it. +BARRY: +Perhaps. Unless you're wearing it +and the ladies see you wearing it. +(Barry waves at 2 girls standing a little away from them) + +ADAM== +Those ladies? +Aren't they our cousins too? +BARRY: +Distant. Distant. +POLLEN JOCK #1: +Look at these two. +POLLEN JOCK #2: +- Couple of Hive Harrys. +POLLEN JOCK #1: +- Let's have fun with them. +GIRL BEE #1: +It must be dangerous +being a Pollen Jock. +BARRY: +Yeah.

Get +a gold tooth and call everybody "dawg"! +JANET: +I'm so proud. +(The scene cuts to Barry and Adam waiting in line to get a job) +ADAM: +- We're starting work today! + +BARRY: +- Today's the day. +ADAM: +Come on!

Bringing it around. + : +Stand to the side, kid. +It's got a bit of a kick. +(The pollen jock fires a high-tech gun at the flower, shooting tubes that +suck up the nectar from the flower and collects it into a pouch on the gun) +BARRY: +That is one nectar collector! +POLLEN JOCK #1== +- Ever see pollination up close? +BARRY: +- No, sir. +POLLEN JOCK #1: + +(Barry and the Pollen jock fly over the field, the pollen jock sprinkles +pollen as he goes) + : +I pick up some pollen here, sprinkle it +over here. Maybe a dash over there, + : +a pinch on that one. +See that? It's a little bit of magic. +BARRY: +That's amazing. Why do we do that? +POLLEN JOCK #1: +That's pollen power. More pollen, more +flowers, more nectar, more honey for us. +BARRY: +Cool. +POLLEN JOCK #1: +I'm picking up a lot of bright yellow. +could be daisies. Don't we need those? +POLLEN JOCK #2: +Copy that visual. + : +Wait. One of these flowers +seems to be on the move. +POLLEN JOCK #1: +Say again? You're reporting +a moving flower? +POLLEN JOCK #2: +Affirmative. +(The Pollen jocks land near the "flowers" which, to the audience are +obviously just tennis balls) +KEN: +(In the distance) That was on the line! + +POLLEN JOCK #1: +This is the coolest. What is it? +POLLEN JOCK #2: +I don't know, but I'm loving this color. + : +It smells good. +Not like a flower, but I like it. +POLLEN JOCK #1: +Yeah, fuzzy. +(Sticks his hand on the ball but it gets stuck) +POLLEN JOCK #3== +Chemical-y. +(The pollen jock finally gets his hand free from the tennis ball) +POLLEN JOCK #1: +Careful, guys. It's a little grabby. +(The pollen jocks turn around and see Barry lying his entire body on top of +one of the tennis balls) +POLLEN JOCK #2: +My sweet lord of bees! +POLLEN JOCK #3: +Candy-brain, get off there! +POLLEN JOCK #1: +(Pointing upwards) +Problem! +(A human hand reaches down and grabs the tennis ball that Barry is stuck +to) +BARRY: +- Guys! +POLLEN JOCK #2: +- This could be bad. +POLLEN JOCK #3: +Affirmative. +(Vanessa Bloome starts bouncing the tennis ball, not knowing Barry is stick +to it) + +BARRY== +Very close. + : +Gonna hurt. + : +Mama's little boy. +(Barry is being hit back and forth by two humans playing tennis. He is +still stuck to the ball) +POLLEN JOCK #1: +You are way out of position, rookie! +KEN: +Coming in at you like a MISSILE! +(Barry flies past the pollen jocks, still stuck to the ball) +BARRY: +(In slow motion) +Help me! +POLLEN JOCK #2: +I don't think these are flowers. +POLLEN JOCK #3: +- Should we tell him? +POLLEN JOCK #1: +- I think he knows. +BARRY: +What is this?! +KEN: +Match point! + : +You can start packing up, honey, +because you're about to EAT IT! +(A pollen jock coughs which confused Ken and he hits the ball the wrong way +with Barry stuck to it and it goes flying into the city) +BARRY: + +Yowser! +(Barry bounces around town and gets stuck in the engine of a car. He flies +into the air conditioner and sees a bug that was frozen in there) +BARRY: +Ew, gross. +(The man driving the car turns on the air conditioner which blows Barry +into the car) +GIRL IN CAR: +There's a bee in the car! + : +- Do something! +DAD DRIVING CAR: +- I'm driving! +BABY GIRL: +(Waving at Barry) +- Hi, bee. +(Barry smiles and waves at the baby girl) +GUY IN BACK OF CAR: +- He's back here! + : +He's going to sting me! +GIRL IN CAR: +Nobody move. If you don't move, +he won't sting you. Freeze! +(Barry freezes as well, hovering in the middle of the car) + : +GRANDMA IN CAR== +He blinked! +(The grandma whips out some bee-spray and sprays everywhere in the car, +climbing into the front seat, still trying to spray Barry) +GIRL IN CAR: +Spray him, Granny! +DAD DRIVING THE CAR: +What are you doing?! +(Barry escapes the car through the air conditioner and is flying high above + +the ground, safe.) +BARRY: +Wow... the tension level +out here is unbelievable. +(Barry sees that storm clouds are gathering and he can see rain clouds +moving into this direction) + : +I gotta get home. + : +Can't fly in rain. + : +Can't fly in rain. +(A rain drop hits Barry and one of his wings is damaged) + : +Can't fly in rain. +(A second rain drop hits Barry again and he spirals downwards) +Mayday! Mayday! Bee going down! +(WW2 plane sound effects are played as he plummets, and he crash-lands on a +plant inside an apartment near the window) +VANESSA BLOOME: +Ken, could you close +the window please? +KEN== +Hey, check out my new resume. +I made it into a fold-out brochure. + : +You see? +(Folds brochure resume out) +Folds out. +(Ken closes the window, trapping Barry inside) +BARRY: +Oh, no. More humans. I don't need this. +(Barry tries to fly away but smashes into the window and falls again) + : +What was that? + +(Barry keeps trying to fly out the window but he keeps being knocked back +because the window is closed) +Maybe this time. This time. This time. +This time! This time! This... + : +Drapes! +(Barry taps the glass. He doesn't understand what it is) +That is diabolical. +KEN: +It's fantastic. It's got all my special +skills, even my top-ten favorite movies. +ANDY: +What's number one? Star Wars? +KEN: +Nah, I don't go for that... +(Ken makes finger guns and makes "pew pew pew" sounds and then stops) + : +...kind of stuff. +BARRY: +No wonder we shouldn't talk to them. +They're out of their minds. +KEN: +When I leave a job interview, they're +flabbergasted, can't believe what I say. +BARRY: +(Looking at the light on the ceiling) +There's the sun. Maybe that's a way out. +(Starts flying towards the lightbulb) + : +I don't remember the sun +having a big 75 on it. +(Barry hits the lightbulb and falls into the dip on the table that the +humans are sitting at) +KEN: + +I predicted global warming. + : +I could feel it getting hotter. +At first I thought it was just me. +(Andy dips a chip into the bowl and scoops up some dip with Barry on it and +is about to put it in his mouth) + : +Wait! Stop! Bee! +(Andy drops the chip with Barry in fear and backs away. All the humans +freak out) + : +Stand back. These are winter boots. +(Ken has winter boots on his hands and he is about to smash the bee but +Vanessa saves him last second) +VANESSA: +Wait! + : +Don't kill him! +(Vanessa puts Barry in a glass to protect him) +KEN: +You know I'm allergic to them! +This thing could kill me! +VANESSA: +Why does his life have +less value than yours? +KEN: +Why does his life have any less value +than mine? Is that your statement? +VANESSA: +I'm just saying all life has value. You +don't know what he's capable of feeling. +(Vanessa picks up Ken's brochure and puts it under the glass so she can +carry Barry back to the window. Barry looks at Vanessa in amazement) +KEN: + +My brochure! +VANESSA: +There you go, little guy. +(Vanessa opens the window and lets Barry out but Barry stays back and is +still shocked that a human saved his life) +KEN: +I'm not scared of him. +It's an allergic thing. +VANESSA: +Put that on your resume brochure. +KEN: +My whole face could puff up. +ANDY: +Make it one of your special skills. +KEN: +Knocking someone out +is also a special skill. +(Ken walks to the door) +Right. Bye, Vanessa. Thanks. + : +- Vanessa, next week? Yogurt night? +VANESSA: +- Sure, Ken. You know, whatever. + : +(Vanessa tries to close door) +KEN== +- You could put carob chips on there. +VANESSA: +- Bye. +(Closes door but Ken opens it again) +KEN: +- Supposed to be less calories. + +VANESSA: +- Bye. +(Closes door) +(Fast forward to the next day, Barry is still inside the house. He flies +into the kitchen where Vanessa is doing dishes) +BARRY== +(Talking to himself) +I gotta say something. + : +She saved my life. +I gotta say something. + : +All right, here it goes. +(Turns back) +Nah. + : +What would I say? + : +I could really get in trouble. + : +It's a bee law. +You're not supposed to talk to a human. + : +I can't believe I'm doing this. + : +I've got to. +(Barry disguises himself as a character on a food can as Vanessa walks by +again) + : +Oh, I can't do it. Come on! + : +No. Yes. No. + : +Do it. I can't. + + : +How should I start it? +(Barry strikes a pose and wiggles his eyebrows) +"You like jazz?" +No, that's no good. +(Vanessa is about to walk past Barry) +Here she comes! Speak, you fool! + : +...Hi! +(Vanessa gasps and drops the dishes in fright and notices Barry on the +counter) + : +I'm sorry. +VANESSA: +- You're talking. +BARRY: +- Yes, I know. +VANESSA: +(Pointing at Barry) +You're talking! +BARRY: +I'm so sorry. +VANESSA: +No, it's OK. It's fine. +I know I'm dreaming. + : +But I don't recall going to bed. +BARRY: +Well, I'm sure this +is very disconcerting. +VANESSA: +This is a bit of a surprise to me. +I mean, you're a bee! + +BARRY: +I am. And I'm not supposed +to be doing this, +(Pointing to the living room where Ken tried to kill him last night) +but they were all trying to kill me. + : +And if it wasn't for you... + : +I had to thank you. +It's just how I was raised. +(Vanessa stabs her hand with a fork to test whether she's dreaming or not) + : +That was a little weird. +VANESSA: +- I'm talking with a bee. +BARRY: +- Yeah. +VANESSA: +I'm talking to a bee. +And the bee is talking to me! +BARRY: +I just want to say I'm grateful. +I'll leave now. +(Barry turns to leave) +VANESSA: +- Wait! How did you learn to do that? +BARRY: +(Flying back) +- What? +VANESSA: +The talking...thing. +BARRY: + +Same way you did, I guess. +"Mama, Dada, honey." You pick it up. +VANESSA: +- That's very funny. +BARRY: +- Yeah. + : +Bees are funny. If we didn't laugh, +we'd cry with what we have to deal with. + : +Anyway... +VANESSA: +Can I... + : +...get you something? +BARRY: +- Like what? +VANESSA: +I don't know. I mean... +I don't know. Coffee? +BARRY: +I don't want to put you out. +VANESSA: +It's no trouble. It takes two minutes. + : +- It's just coffee. +BARRY: +- I hate to impose. +(Vanessa starts making coffee) +VANESSA: +- Don't be ridiculous! + +BARRY: +- Actually, I would love a cup. +VANESSA: +Hey, you want rum cake? +BARRY: +- I shouldn't. +VANESSA: +- Have some. +BARRY: +- No, I can't. +VANESSA: +- Come on! +BARRY: +I'm trying to lose a couple micrograms. +VANESSA: +- Where? +BARRY: +- These stripes don't help. +VANESSA: +You look great! +BARRY: +I don't know if you know +anything about fashion. + : +Are you all right? +VANESSA: +(Pouring coffee on the floor and missing the cup completely) +No. +(Flash forward in time. Barry and Vanessa are sitting together at a table +on top of the apartment building drinking coffee) + + : +BARRY== +He's making the tie in the cab +as they're flying up Madison. + : +He finally gets there. + : +He runs up the steps into the church. +The wedding is on. + : +And he says, "Watermelon? +I thought you said Guatemalan. + : +Why would I marry a watermelon?" +(Barry laughs but Vanessa looks confused) +VANESSA: +Is that a bee joke? +BARRY: +That's the kind of stuff we do. +VANESSA: +Yeah, different. + : +So, what are you gonna do, Barry? +(Barry stands on top of a sugar cube floating in his coffee and paddles it +around with a straw like it's a gondola) +BARRY: +About work? I don't know. + : +I want to do my part for the hive, +but I can't do it the way they want. +VANESSA: +I know how you feel. + +BARRY: +- You do? +VANESSA: +- Sure. + : +My parents wanted me to be a lawyer or +a doctor, but I wanted to be a florist. +BARRY: +- Really? +VANESSA: +- My only interest is flowers. +BARRY: +Our new queen was just elected +with that same campaign slogan. + : +Anyway, if you look... +(Barry points to a tree in the middle of Central Park) + : +There's my hive right there. See it? +VANESSA: +You're in Sheep Meadow! +BARRY: +Yes! I'm right off the Turtle Pond! +VANESSA: +No way! I know that area. +I lost a toe ring there once. +BARRY: +- Why do girls put rings on their toes? +VANESSA: +- Why not? +BARRY: + +- It's like putting a hat on your knee. +VANESSA: +- Maybe I'll try that. +(A custodian installing a lightbulb looks over at them but to his +perspective it looks like Vanessa is talking to a cup of coffee on the +table) +CUSTODIAN: +- You all right, ma'am? +VANESSA: +- Oh, yeah. Fine. + : +Just having two cups of coffee! +BARRY: +Anyway, this has been great. +Thanks for the coffee. +VANESSA== +Yeah, it's no trouble. +BARRY: +Sorry I couldn't finish it. If I did, +I'd be up the rest of my life. +(Barry points towards the rum cake) + : +Can I take a piece of this with me? +VANESSA: +Sure! Here, have a crumb. +(Vanessa hands Barry a crumb but it is still pretty big for Barry) +BARRY: +- Thanks! +VANESSA: +- Yeah. +BARRY: +All right. Well, then... +I guess I'll see you around. + + : +Or not. +VANESSA: +OK, Barry... +BARRY: +And thank you +so much again... for before. +VANESSA: +Oh, that? That was nothing. +BARRY: +Well, not nothing, but... Anyway... +(Vanessa and Barry hold hands, but Vanessa has to hold out a finger because +her hands is to big and Barry holds that) +(The custodian looks over again and it appears Vanessa is laughing at her +coffee again. The lightbulb that he was screwing in sparks and he falls off +the ladder) +(Fast forward in time and we see two Bee Scientists testing out a parachute +in a Honex wind tunnel) +BEE SCIENTIST #1: +This can't possibly work. +BEE SCIENTIST #2: +He's all set to go. +We may as well try it. + : +OK, Dave, pull the chute. +(Dave pulls the chute and the wind slams him against the wall and he falls +on his face.The camera pans over and we see Barry and Adam walking +together) +ADAM: +- Sounds amazing. +BARRY: +- It was amazing! + : +It was the scariest, +happiest moment of my life. + +ADAM: +Humans! I can't believe +you were with humans! + : +Giant, scary humans! +What were they like? +BARRY: +Huge and crazy. They talk crazy. + : +They eat crazy giant things. +They drive crazy. +ADAM: +- Do they try and kill you, like on TV? +BARRY: +- Some of them. But some of them don't. +ADAM: +- How'd you get back? +BARRY: +- Poodle. +ADAM: +You did it, and I'm glad. You saw +whatever you wanted to see. + : +You had your "experience." Now you +can pick out your job and be normal. +BARRY: +- Well... +ADAM: +- Well? +BARRY: +Well, I met someone. + +ADAM: +You did? Was she Bee-ish? + : +- A wasp?! Your parents will kill you! +BARRY: +- No, no, no, not a wasp. +ADAM: +- Spider? +BARRY: +- I'm not attracted to spiders. + : +I know, for everyone else, it's the hottest thing, +with the eight legs and all. + : +I can't get by that face. +ADAM: +So who is she? +BARRY: +She's... human. +ADAM: +No, no. That's a bee law. +You wouldn't break a bee law. +BARRY: +- Her name's Vanessa. +(Adam puts his head in his hands) +ADAM: +- Oh, boy. +BARRY== +She's so nice. And she's a florist! +ADAM: +Oh, no! You're dating a human florist! + +BARRY: +We're not dating. +ADAM: +You're flying outside the hive, talking +to humans that attack our homes + : +with power washers and M-80s! +That's one-eighth a stick of dynamite! +BARRY: +She saved my life! +And she understands me. +ADAM: +This is over! +BARRY: +Eat this. +(Barry gives Adam a piece of the crumb that he got from Vanessa. Adam eats +it) +ADAM: +(Adam's tone changes) +This is not over! What was that? +BARRY: +- They call it a crumb. +ADAM: +- It was so stingin' stripey! +BARRY: +And that's not what they eat. +That's what falls off what they eat! + : +- You know what a Cinnabon is? +ADAM: +- No. +(Adam opens a door behind him and he pulls Barry in) + +BARRY: +It's bread and cinnamon and frosting. +ADAM: +Be quiet! +BARRY: +They heat it up... +ADAM: +Sit down! +(Adam forces Barry to sit down) +BARRY: +(Still rambling about Cinnabons) +...really hot! +(Adam grabs Barry by the shoulders) +ADAM: +- Listen to me! + : +We are not them! We're us. +There's us and there's them! +BARRY== +Yes, but who can deny +the heart that is yearning? +ADAM: +There's no yearning. +Stop yearning. Listen to me! + : +You have got to start thinking bee, +my friend. Thinking bee! +BARRY: +- Thinking bee. +WORKER BEE: +- Thinking bee. +WORKER BEES AND ADAM: +Thinking bee! Thinking bee! + +Thinking bee! Thinking bee! +(Flash forward in time; Barry is laying on a raft in a pool full of honey. +He is wearing sunglasses) +JANET: +There he is. He's in the pool. +MARTIN: +You know what your problem is, Barry? +(Barry pulls down his sunglasses and he looks annoyed) +BARRY: +(Sarcastic) +I gotta start thinking bee? +JANET: +How much longer will this go on? +MARTIN: +It's been three days! +Why aren't you working? +(Puts sunglasses back on) +BARRY: +I've got a lot of big life decisions +to think about. +MARTIN: +What life? You have no life! +You have no job. You're barely a bee! +JANET: +Would it kill you +to make a little honey? +(Barry rolls off the raft and sinks into the honey pool) + : +Barry, come out. +Your father's talking to you. + : +Martin, would you talk to him? +MARTIN: + +Barry, I'm talking to you! +(Barry keeps sinking into the honey until he is suddenly in Central Park +having a picnic with Vanessa) +(Barry has a cup of honey and he clinks his glass with Vanessas. Suddenly a +mosquito lands on Vanessa and she slaps it, killing it. They both gasp but +then burst out laughing) +VANESSA: +You coming? +(The camera pans over and Vanessa is climbing into a small yellow airplane) +BARRY: +Got everything? +VANESSA: +All set! +BARRY: +Go ahead. I'll catch up. +(Vanessa lifts off and flies ahead) +VANESSA: +Don't be too long. +(Barry catches up with Vanessa and he sticks out his arms like ana irplane. +He rolls from side to side, and Vanessa copies him with the airplane) +VANESSA: +Watch this! +(Barry stays back and watches as Vanessa draws a heart in the air using +pink smoke from the plane, but on the last loop-the-loop she suddenly +crashes into a mountain and the plane explodes. The destroyed plane falls +into some rocks and explodes a second time) +BARRY: +Vanessa! +(As Barry is yelling his mouth fills with honey and he wakes up, +discovering that he was just day dreaming. He slowly sinks back into the +honey pool) +MARTIN: +- We're still here. + +JANET: +- I told you not to yell at him. + : +He doesn't respond to yelling! +MARTIN: +- Then why yell at me? +JANET: +- Because you don't listen! +MARTIN: +I'm not listening to this. +BARRY: +Sorry, I've gotta go. +MARTIN: +- Where are you going? +BARRY: +- I'm meeting a friend. +JANET: +A girl? Is this why you can't decide? +BARRY: +Bye. +(Barry flies out the door and Martin shakes his head) + : +JANET== +I just hope she's Bee-ish. +(Fast forward in time and Barry is sitting on Vanessa's shoulder and she is +closing up her shop) +BARRY: +They have a huge parade +of flowers every year in Pasadena? +VANESSA: +To be in the Tournament of Roses, +that's every florist's dream! + + : +Up on a float, surrounded +by flowers, crowds cheering. +BARRY: +A tournament. Do the roses +compete in athletic events? +VANESSA: +No. All right, I've got one. +How come you don't fly everywhere? +BARRY: +It's exhausting. Why don't you +run everywhere? It's faster. +VANESSA: +Yeah, OK, I see, I see. +All right, your turn. +BARRY: +TiVo. You can just freeze live TV? +That's insane! +VANESSA: +You don't have that? +BARRY: +We have Hivo, but it's a disease. +It's a horrible, horrible disease. +VANESSA: +Oh, my. +(A human walks by and Barry narrowly avoids him) +PASSERBY: +Dumb bees! +VANESSA: +You must want to sting all those jerks. +BARRY: +We try not to sting. + +It's usually fatal for us. +VANESSA: +So you have to watch your temper +(They walk into a store) +BARRY: +Very carefully. +You kick a wall, take a walk, + : +write an angry letter and throw it out. +Work through it like any emotion: + : +Anger, jealousy, lust. +(Suddenly an employee(Hector) hits Barry off of Vanessa's shoulder. Hector +thinks he's saving Vanessa) +VANESSA: +(To Barry) +Oh, my goodness! Are you OK? +(Barry is getting up off the floor) +BARRY: +Yeah. +VANESSA: +(To Hector) +- What is wrong with you?! +HECTOR: +(Confused) +- It's a bug. +VANESSA: +He's not bothering anybody. +Get out of here, you creep! +(Vanessa hits Hector across the face with the magazine he had and then hits +him in the head. Hector backs away covering his head) +Barry: +What was that? A Pic 'N' Save circular? +(Vanessa sets Barry back on her shoulder) + +VANESSA: +Yeah, it was. How did you know? +BARRY: +It felt like about 10 pages. +Seventy-five is pretty much our limit. +VANESSA: +You've really got that +down to a science. +BARRY: +- Oh, we have to. I lost a cousin to Italian Vogue. +VANESSA: +- I'll bet. +(Barry looks to his right and notices there is honey for sale in the aisle) +BARRY: +What in the name +of Mighty Hercules is this? +(Barry looks at all the brands of honey, shocked) +How did this get here? +Cute Bee, Golden Blossom, + : +Ray Liotta Private Select? +(Barry puts his hands up and slowly turns around, a look of disgust on his +face) +VANESSA: +- Is he that actor? +BARRY: +- I never heard of him. + : +- Why is this here? +VANESSA: +- For people. We eat it. +BARRY: + +You don't have +enough food of your own?! +(Hector looks back and notices that Vanessa is talking to Barry) +VANESSA: +- Well, yes. +BARRY: +- How do you get it? +VANESSA: +- Bees make it. +BARRY: +- I know who makes it! + : +And it's hard to make it! + : +There's heating, cooling, stirring. +You need a whole Krelman thing! +VANESSA: +- It's organic. +BARRY: +- It's our-ganic! +VANESSA: +It's just honey, Barry. +BARRY: +Just what?! + : +Bees don't know about this! +This is stealing! A lot of stealing! + : +You've taken our homes, schools, +hospitals! This is all we have! + : + +And it's on sale?! +I'm getting to the bottom of this. + : +I'm getting to the bottom +of all of this! +(Flash forward in time; Barry paints his face with black strikes like a +soldier and sneaks into the storage section of the store) +(Two men, including Hector, are loading boxes into some trucks) + : +SUPERMARKET EMPLOYEE== +Hey, Hector. + : +- You almost done? +HECTOR: +- Almost. +(Barry takes a step to peak around the corner) +(Whispering) +He is here. I sense it. + : +Well, I guess I'll go home now +(Hector pretends to walk away by walking in place and speaking loudly) + : +and just leave this nice honey out, +with no one around. +BARRY: +You're busted, box boy! +HECTOR: +I knew I heard something! +So you can talk! +BARRY: +I can talk. +And now you'll start talking! + : +Where you getting the sweet stuff? + +Who's your supplier? +HECTOR: +I don't understand. +I thought we were friends. + : +The last thing we want +to do is upset bees! +(Hector takes a thumbtack out of the board behind him and sword-fights +Barry. Barry is using his stinger like a sword) + : +You're too late! It's ours now! +BARRY: +You, sir, have crossed +the wrong sword! +HECTOR: +You, sir, will be lunch +for my iguana, Ignacio! +(Barry hits the thumbtack out of Hectors hand and Hector surrenders) +Barry: +Where is the honey coming from? + : +Tell me where! +HECTOR: +(Pointing to leaving truck) +Honey Farms! It comes from Honey Farms! +(Barry chases after the truck but it is getting away. He flies onto a +bicyclists' backpack and he catches up to the truck) +CAR DRIVER: +(To bicyclist) +Crazy person! +(Barry flies off and lands on the windshield of the Honey farms truck. +Barry looks around and sees dead bugs splattered everywhere) +BARRY: +What horrible thing has happened here? + + : +These faces, they never knew +what hit them. And now + : +they're on the road to nowhere! +(Barry hears a sudden whisper) +(Barry looks up and sees Mooseblood, a mosquito playing dead) +MOOSEBLOOD: +Just keep still. +BARRY: +What? You're not dead? +MOOSEBLOOD: +Do I look dead? They will wipe anything +that moves. Where you headed? +BARRY: +To Honey Farms. +I am onto something huge here. +MOOSEBLOOD: +I'm going to Alaska. Moose blood, +crazy stuff. Blows your head off! +ANOTHER BUG PLAYING DEAD: +I'm going to Tacoma. +(Barry looks at another bug) +BARRY: +- And you? +MOOSEBLOOD: +- He really is dead. +BARRY: +All right. +(Another bug hits the windshield and the drivers notice. They activate the +windshield wipers) +MOOSEBLOOD== +Uh-oh! +(The windshield wipers are slowly sliding over the dead bugs and wiping + +them off) +BARRY: +- What is that?! +MOOSEBLOOD: +- Oh, no! + : +- A wiper! Triple blade! +BARRY: +- Triple blade? +MOOSEBLOOD: +Jump on! It's your only chance, bee! +(Mooseblood and Barry grab onto the wiper and they hold on as it wipes the +windshield) +Why does everything have +to be so doggone clean?! + : +How much do you people need to see?! +(Bangs on windshield) + : +Open your eyes! +Stick your head out the window! +RADIO IN TRUCK: +From NPR News in Washington, +I'm Carl Kasell. +MOOSEBLOOD: +But don't kill no more bugs! +(Mooseblood and Barry are washed off by the wipr fluid) +MOOSEBLOOD: +- Bee! +BARRY: +- Moose blood guy!! +(Barry starts screaming as he hangs onto the antenna) +(Suddenly it is revealed that a water bug is also hanging on the antenna. + +There is a pause and then Barry and the water bug both start screaming) +TRUCK DRIVER: +- You hear something? +GUY IN TRUCK: +- Like what? +TRUCK DRIVER: +Like tiny screaming. +GUY IN TRUCK: +Turn off the radio. +(The antenna starts to lower until it gets to low and sinks into the truck. +The water bug flies off and Barry is forced to let go and he is blown away. +He luckily lands inside a horn on top of the truck where he finds +Mooseblood, who was blown into the same place) +MOOSEBLOOD: +Whassup, bee boy? +BARRY: +Hey, Blood. +(Fast forward in time and we see that Barry is deep in conversation with +Mooseblood. They have been sitting in this truck for a while) +BARRY: +...Just a row of honey jars, +as far as the eye could see. +MOOSEBLOOD: +Wow! +BARRY: +I assume wherever this truck goes +is where they're getting it. + : +I mean, that honey's ours. +MOOSEBLOOD: +- Bees hang tight. +BARRY: + +- We're all jammed in. + : +It's a close community. +MOOSEBLOOD: +Not us, man. We on our own. +Every mosquito on his own. +BARRY: +- What if you get in trouble? +MOOSEBLOOD: +- You a mosquito, you in trouble. + : +Nobody likes us. They just smack. +See a mosquito, smack, smack! +BARRY: +At least you're out in the world. +You must meet girls. +MOOSEBLOOD: +Mosquito girls try to trade up, +get with a moth, dragonfly. + : +Mosquito girl don't want no mosquito. +(An ambulance passes by and it has a blood donation sign on it) +You got to be kidding me! + : +Mooseblood's about to leave +the building! So long, bee! +(Mooseblood leaves and flies onto the window of the ambulance where there +are other mosquito's hanging out) + : +- Hey, guys! +OTHER MOSQUITO: +- Mooseblood! + +MOOSEBLOOD: +I knew I'd catch y'all down here. +Did you bring your crazy straw? +(The truck goes out of view and Barry notices that the truck he's on is +pulling into a camp of some sort) +TRUCK DRIVER: +We throw it in jars, slap a label on it, +and it's pretty much pure profit. +(Barry flies out) +BARRY: +What is this place? +BEEKEEPER 1#: +A bee's got a brain +the size of a pinhead. +BEEKEEPER #2: +They are pinheads! + : +Pinhead. + : +- Check out the new smoker. +BEEKEEPER #1: +- Oh, sweet. That's the one you want. + : +The Thomas 3000! +BARRY: +Smoker? +BEEKEEPER #1: +Ninety puffs a minute, semi-automatic. +Twice the nicotine, all the tar. + : +A couple breaths of this +knocks them right out. + +BEEKEEPER #2: +They make the honey, +and we make the money. +BARRY: +"They make the honey, +and we make the money"? +(The Beekeeper sprays hundreds of cheap miniature apartments with the +smoker. The bees are fainting or passing out) +Oh, my! + : +What's going on? Are you OK? +(Barry flies into one of the apartment and helps a Bee couple get off the +ground. They are coughing and its hard for them to stand) +BEE IN APARTMENT: +Yeah. It doesn't last too long. +BARRY: +Do you know you're +in a fake hive with fake walls? +BEE IN APPARTMENT: +Our queen was moved here. +We had no choice. +(The apartment room is completely empty except for a photo on the wall of +the "queen" who is obviously a man in women's clothes) +BARRY: +This is your queen? +That's a man in women's clothes! + : +That's a drag queen! + : +What is this? +(Barry flies out and he discovers that there are hundreds of these +structures, each housing thousands of Bees) +Oh, no! + : +There's hundreds of them! +(Barry takes out his camera and takes pictures of these Bee work camps. The +beekeepers look very evil in these depictions) + +Bee honey. + : +Our honey is being brazenly stolen +on a massive scale! + : +This is worse than anything bears +have done! I intend to do something. +(Flash forward in time and Barry is showing these pictures to his parents) +JANET: +Oh, Barry, stop. +MARTIN: +Who told you humans are taking +our honey? That's a rumor. +BARRY: +Do these look like rumors? +(Holds up the pictures) +UNCLE CARL: +That's a conspiracy theory. +These are obviously doctored photos. +JANET: +How did you get mixed up in this? +ADAM: +He's been talking to humans. +JANET: +- What? +MARTIN: +- Talking to humans?! +ADAM: +He has a human girlfriend. +And they make out! +JANET: +Make out? Barry! + +BARRY: +We do not. +ADAM: +- You wish you could. +MARTIN: +- Whose side are you on? +BARRY: +The bees! +UNCLE CARL: +(He has been sitting in the back of the room this entire time) +I dated a cricket once in San Antonio. +Those crazy legs kept me up all night. +JANET: +Barry, this is what you want +to do with your life? +BARRY: +I want to do it for all our lives. +Nobody works harder than bees! + : +Dad, I remember you +coming home so overworked + : +your hands were still stirring. +You couldn't stop. +JANET: +I remember that. +BARRY: +What right do they have to our honey? + : +We live on two cups a year. They put it +in lip balm for no reason whatsoever! + +ADAM: +Even if it's true, what can one bee do? +BARRY: +Sting them where it really hurts. +MARTIN: +In the face! The eye! + : +- That would hurt. +BARRY: +- No. +MARTIN: +Up the nose? That's a killer. +BARRY: +There's only one place you can sting +the humans, one place where it matters. +(Flash forward a bit in time and we are watching the Bee News) +BEE NEWS NARRATOR: +Hive at Five, the hive's only +full-hour action news source. +BEE PROTESTOR: +No more bee beards! +BEE NEWS NARRATOR: +With Bob Bumble at the anchor desk. + : +Weather with Storm Stinger. + : +Sports with Buzz Larvi. + : +And Jeanette Chung. +BOB BUMBLE: +- Good evening.

I can't do this"? +BARRY: +Bees have never been afraid +to change the world. + : +What about Bee Columbus? +Bee Gandhi? Bejesus? +BEE LARRY KING: +Where I'm from, we'd never sue humans. + + : +We were thinking +of stickball or candy stores. +BARRY: +How old are you? +BEE LARRY KING: +The bee community +is supporting you in this case, + : +which will be the trial +of the bee century. +BARRY: +You know, they have a Larry King +in the human world too. +BEE LARRY KING: +It's a common name.

She's 81. +KEN== +Honey, her backhand's a joke! +I'm not gonna take advantage of that? +BARRY: +(To Ken) +Quiet, please. +Actual work going on here. +KEN: +(Pointing at Barry) +- Is that that same bee? +VANESSA: +- Yes, it is! + : +I'm helping him sue the human race. +BARRY: +- Hello. +KEN: +- Hello, bee. +VANESSA: +This is Ken. +BARRY: +(Recalling the "Winter Boots" incident earlier) +Yeah, I remember you.

His workplace is a mess) +VANESSA: +You poor thing. +You two have been at this for hours! +BARRY: +Yes, and Adam here +has been a huge help. +ADAM: +- Frosting... +- How many sugars? + ==BARRY== +Just one. I try not +to use the competition. + : +So why are you helping me? +VANESSA: +Bees have good qualities. + : +And it takes my mind off the shop. + : +Instead of flowers, people +are giving balloon bouquets now. +BARRY: + +Those are great, if you're three. +VANESSA: +And artificial flowers. +BARRY: +- Oh, those just get me psychotic! +VANESSA: +- Yeah, me too. + : +BARRY: +Bent stingers, pointless pollination. +ADAM: +Bees must hate those fake things! + : +Nothing worse +than a daffodil that's had work done. + : +Maybe this could make up +for it a little bit. +VANESSA: +- This lawsuit's a pretty big deal. +BARRY: +- I guess. +ADAM: +You sure you want to go through with it? +BARRY: +Am I sure? When I'm done with +the humans, they won't be able + : +to say, "Honey, I'm home," +without paying a royalty! +(Flash forward in time and we are watching the human news. The camera shows + +a crowd outside a courthouse) +NEWS REPORTER: +It's an incredible scene +here in downtown Manhattan, + : +where the world anxiously waits, +because for the first time in history, + : +we will hear for ourselves +if a honeybee can actually speak. +(We are no longer watching through a news camera) +ADAM: +What have we gotten into here, Barry? +BARRY: +It's pretty big, isn't it? +ADAM== +(Looking at the hundreds of people around the courthouse) +I can't believe how many humans +don't work during the day. +BARRY: +You think billion-dollar multinational +food companies have good lawyers? +SECURITY GUARD: +Everybody needs to stay +behind the barricade. +(A limousine drives up and a fat man,Layton Montgomery, a honey industry +owner gets out and walks past Barry) +ADAM: +- What's the matter? +BARRY: +- I don't know, I just got a chill. +(Fast forward in time and everyone is in the court) +MONTGOMERY: +Well, if it isn't the bee team. + +(To Honey Industry lawyers) +You boys work on this? +MAN: +All rise!

But is this +what it's come to for you? + : +Exploiting tiny, helpless bees +so you don't + : +have to rehearse +your part and learn your lines, sir? +RAY LIOTTA: +Watch it, Benson! +I could blow right now! +BARRY: +This isn't a goodfella. +This is a badfella! +(Ray Liotta looses it and tries to grab Barry) +RAY LIOTTA: +Why doesn't someone just step on +this creep, and we can all go home?! +JUDGE BUMBLETON: +- Order in this court! +RAY LIOTTA: +- You're all thinking it! +(Judge Bumbleton starts banging her gavel) +JUDGE BUMBLETON: +Order! Order, I say! +RAY LIOTTA: +- Say it! +MAN: + +- Mr. Liotta, please sit down! +(We see a montage of magazines which feature the court case) +(Flash forward in time and Barry is back home with Vanessa) +BARRY: +I think it was awfully nice +of that bear to pitch in like that. +VANESSA: +I think the jury's on our side. +BARRY: +Are we doing everything right,you know, legally? +VANESSA: +I'm a florist. +BARRY: +Right. Well, here's to a great team. +VANESSA: +To a great team! +(Ken walks in from work. He sees Barry and he looks upset when he sees +Barry clinking his glass with Vanessa) +KEN: +Well, hello. +VANESSA: +- Oh, Ken! +BARRY: +- Hello! +VANESSA: +I didn't think you were coming. + : +No, I was just late. +I tried to call, but... +(Ken holds up his phone and flips it open. The phone has no charge) +...the battery... +VANESSA: + +I didn't want all this to go to waste, +so I called Barry. Luckily, he was free. +KEN: +Oh, that was lucky. +(Ken sits down at the table across from Barry and Vanessa leaves the room) +VANESSA: +There's a little left. +I could heat it up. +KEN: +(Not taking his eyes off Barry) +Yeah, heat it up, sure, whatever. +BARRY: +So I hear you're quite a tennis player. + : +I'm not much for the game myself. +The ball's a little grabby. +KEN: +That's where I usually sit. +Right... +(Points to where Barry is sitting) +there. +VANESSA: +(Calling from other room) +Ken, Barry was looking at your resume, + : +and he agreed with me that eating with +chopsticks isn't really a special skill. +KEN: +(To Barry) +You think I don't see what you're doing? +BARRY: +I know how hard it is to find +the right job. We have that in common. + +KEN: +Do we? +BARRY: +Bees have 100 percent employment, +but we do jobs like taking the crud out. +KEN: +(Menacingly) +That's just what +I was thinking about doing. +(Ken reaches for a fork on the table but knocks if on the floor. He goes to +pick it up) +VANESSA: +Ken, I let Barry borrow your razor +for his fuzz. I hope that was all right. +(Ken quickly rises back up after hearing this but hits his head on the +table and yells) +BARRY: +I'm going to drain the old stinger. +KEN: +Yeah, you do that. +(Barry flies past Ken to get to the bathroom and Ken freaks out, splashing +some of the wine he was using to cool his head in his eyes. He yells in +anger) +(Barry looks at the magazines featuring his victories in court) +BARRY: +Look at that. +(Barry flies into the bathroom) +(He puts his hand on his head but this makes hurts him and makes him even +madder. He yells again) +(Barry is washing his hands in the sink but then Ken walks in) +KEN: +You know, you know I've just about had it +(Closes bathroom door behind him) +with your little mind games. +(Ken is menacingly rolling up a magazine) +BARRY: + +(Backing away) +- What's that? +KEN: +- Italian Vogue. +BARRY: +Mamma mia, that's a lot of pages. +KEN: +It's a lot of ads. +BARRY: +Remember what Van said, why is +your life more valuable than mine? +KEN: +That's funny, I just can't seem to recall that! +(Ken smashes everything off the sink with the magazine and Barry narrowly +escapes) +(Ken follows Barry around and tries to hit him with the magazine but he +keeps missing) +(Ken gets a spray bottle) + : +I think something stinks in here! +BARRY: +(Enjoying the spray) +I love the smell of flowers. +(Ken holds a lighter in front of the spray bottle) +KEN: +How do you like the smell of flames?! +BARRY: +Not as much. +(Ken fires his make-shift flamethrower but misses Barry, burning the +bathroom. He torches the whole room but looses his footing and falls into +the bathtub. After getting hit in the head by falling objects 3 times he +picks up the shower head, revealing a Water bug hiding under it) +WATER BUG: +Water bug! Not taking sides! + +(Barry gets up out of a pile of bathroom supplies and he is wearing a +chapstick hat) +BARRY: +Ken, I'm wearing a Chapstick hat! +This is pathetic! +(Ken switches the shower head to lethal) +KEN: +I've got issues! +(Ken sprays Barry with the shower head and he crash lands into the toilet) +(Ken menacingly looks down into the toilet at Barry) +Well, well, well, a royal flush! +BARRY: +- You're bluffing. +KEN: +- Am I? +(flushes toilet) +(Barry grabs a chapstick from the toilet seat and uses it to surf in the +flushing toilet) +BARRY: +Surf's up, dude! +(Barry flies out of the toilet on the chapstick and sprays Ken's face with +the toilet water) + : +EW,Poo water! +BARRY: +That bowl is gnarly. +KEN: +(Aiming a toilet cleaner at Barry) +Except for those dirty yellow rings! +(Barry cowers and covers his head and Vanessa runs in and takes the toilet +cleaner from Ken just before he hits Barry) +VANESSA: +Kenneth! What are you doing?! +KEN== +(Leaning towards Barry) + +You know, I don't even like honey! +I don't eat it! +VANESSA: +We need to talk! +(Vanessa pulls Ken out of the bathroom) + : +He's just a little bee! + : +And he happens to be +the nicest bee I've met in a long time! +KEN: +Long time? What are you talking about?! +Are there other bugs in your life? +VANESSA: +No, but there are other things bugging +me in life. And you're one of them! +KEN: +Fine! Talking bees, no yogurt night... + : +My nerves are fried from riding +on this emotional roller coaster! +VANESSA: +Goodbye, Ken. +(Ken huffs and walks out and slams the door. But suddenly he walks back in +and stares at Barry) + : +And for your information, +I prefer sugar-free, artificial +sweeteners MADE BY MAN! +(Ken leaves again and Vanessa leans in towards Barry) +VANESSA: +I'm sorry about all that. +(Ken walks back in again) + +KEN: +I know it's got +an aftertaste! I LIKE IT! +(Ken leaves for the last time) +VANESSA: +I always felt there was some kind +of barrier between Ken and me. + : +I couldn't overcome it. +Oh, well. + : +Are you OK for the trial? +BARRY: +I believe Mr. Montgomery +is about out of ideas. +(Flash forward in time and Barry, Adam, and Vanessa are back in court) +MONTGOMERY-- +We would like to call +Mr. Barry Benson Bee to the stand. +ADAM: +Good idea! You can really see why he's +considered one of the best lawyers... +(Barry stares at Adam) +...Yeah. +LAWYER: +Layton, you've +gotta weave some magic +with this jury, +or it's gonna be all over. +MONTGOMERY: +Don't worry. The only thing I have +to do to turn this jury around + : +is to remind them +of what they don't like about bees. +(To lawyer) + +- You got the tweezers? +LAWYER: +- Are you allergic? +MONTGOMERY: +Only to losing, son. Only to losing. + : +Mr. Benson Bee, I'll ask you +what I think we'd all like to know. + : +What exactly is your relationship +(Points to Vanessa) + : +to that woman? +BARRY: +We're friends. +MONTGOMERY: +- Good friends? +BARRY: +- Yes. +MONTGOMERY: +How good? Do you live together? +ADAM: +Wait a minute... + : +MONTGOMERY: +Are you her little... + : +...bedbug? +(Adam's stinger starts vibrating. He is agitated) +I've seen a bee documentary or two. +From what I understand, + + : +doesn't your queen give birth +to all the bee children? +BARRY: +- Yeah, but... +MONTGOMERY: +(Pointing at Janet and Martin) +- So those aren't your real parents! +JANET: +- Oh, Barry... +BARRY: +- Yes, they are! +ADAM: +Hold me back! +(Vanessa tries to hold Adam back. He wants to sting Montgomery) +MONTGOMERY: +You're an illegitimate bee, +aren't you, Benson? +ADAM: +He's denouncing bees! +MONTGOMERY: +Don't y'all date your cousins? +(Montgomery leans over on the jury stand and stares at Adam) +VANESSA: +- Objection! +(Vanessa raises her hand to object but Adam gets free. He flies straight at +Montgomery) +=ADAM: +- I'm going to pincushion this guy! +BARRY: +Adam, don't! It's what he wants! +(Adam stings Montgomery in the butt and he starts thrashing around) + +MONTGOMERY: +Oh, I'm hit!! + : +Oh, lordy, I am hit! +JUDGE BUMBLETON: +(Banging gavel) +Order! Order! +MONTGOMERY: +(Overreacting) +The venom! The venom +is coursing through my veins! + : +I have been felled +by a winged beast of destruction! + : +You see? You can't treat them +like equals! They're striped savages! + : +Stinging's the only thing +they know! It's their way! +BARRY: +- Adam, stay with me. +ADAM: +- I can't feel my legs. +MONTGOMERY: +(Overreacting and throwing his body around the room) +What angel of mercy +will come forward to suck the poison + : +from my heaving buttocks? +JUDGE BUMLBETON: +I will have order in this court. Order! + + : +Order, please! +(Flash forward in time and we see a human news reporter) +NEWS REPORTER: +The case of the honeybees +versus the human race + : +took a pointed turn against the bees + : +yesterday when one of their legal +team stung Layton T. Montgomery. +(Adam is laying in a hospital bed and Barry flies in to see him) +BARRY: +- Hey, buddy. +ADAM: +- Hey. +BARRY: +- Is there much pain? +ADAM: +- Yeah. + : +I... + : +I blew the whole case, didn't I? +BARRY: +It doesn't matter. What matters is +you're alive. You could have died. +ADAM: +I'd be better off dead. Look at me. +(A small plastic sword is replaced as Adam's stinger) +They got it from the cafeteria +downstairs, in a tuna sandwich. + + : +Look, there's +a little celery still on it. +(Flicks off the celery and sighs) +BARRY: +What was it like to sting someone? +ADAM: +I can't explain it. It was all... + : +All adrenaline and then... +and then ecstasy! +BARRY: +...All right. +ADAM: +You think it was all a trap? +BARRY: +Of course. I'm sorry. +I flew us right into this. + : +What were we thinking? Look at us. We're +just a couple of bugs in this world. +ADAM: +What will the humans do to us +if they win? +BARRY: +I don't know. +ADAM: +I hear they put the roaches in motels. +That doesn't sound so bad. +BARRY: +Adam, they check in, +but they don't check out! + +ADAM: +Oh, my. +(Coughs) +Could you get a nurse +to close that window? +BARRY: +- Why? +ADAM: +- The smoke. +(We can see that two humans are smoking cigarettes outside) + : +Bees don't smoke. +BARRY: +Right. Bees don't smoke. + : +Bees don't smoke! +But some bees are smoking. + : +That's it! That's our case! +ADAM: +It is? It's not over? +BARRY: +Get dressed. I've gotta go somewhere. + : +Get back to the court and stall. +Stall any way you can. +(Flash forward in time and Adam is making a paper boat in the courtroom) +ADAM: +And assuming you've done step 29 correctly, you're ready for the tub! +(We see that the jury have each made their own paper boats after being +taught how by Adam. They all look confused) +JUDGE BUMBLETON: + +Mr. Flayman. +ADAM: +Yes? Yes, Your Honor! +JUDGE BUMBLETON: +Where is the rest of your team? +ADAM: +(Continues stalling) +Well, Your Honor, it's interesting. + : +Bees are trained to fly haphazardly, + : +and as a result, +we don't make very good time. + : +I actually heard a funny story about... +MONTGOMERY: +Your Honor, +haven't these ridiculous bugs + : +taken up enough +of this court's valuable time? + : +How much longer will we allow +these absurd shenanigans to go on? + : +They have presented no compelling +evidence to support their charges + : +against my clients, +who run legitimate businesses. + : +I move for a complete dismissal + +of this entire case! +JUDGE BUMBLETON: +Mr. Flayman, I'm afraid I'm going + : +to have to consider +Mr. Montgomery's motion. +ADAM: +But you can't! We have a terrific case. +MONTGOMERY: +Where is your proof? +Where is the evidence? + : +Show me the smoking gun! +BARRY: +(Barry flies in through the door) +Hold it, Your Honor! +You want a smoking gun? + : +Here is your smoking gun. +(Vanessa walks in holding a bee smoker. She sets it down on the Judge's +podium) +JUDGE BUMBLETON: +What is that? +BARRY: +It's a bee smoker! +MONTGOMERY: +(Picks up smoker) +What, this? +This harmless little contraption? + : +This couldn't hurt a fly, +let alone a bee. +(Montgomery accidentally fires it at the bees in the crowd and they faint + +and cough) +(Dozens of reporters start taking pictures of the suffering bees) +BARRY: +Look at what has happened + : +to bees who have never been asked, +"Smoking or non?" + : +Is this what nature intended for us? + : +To be forcibly addicted +to smoke machines + : +and man-made wooden slat work camps? + : +Living out our lives as honey slaves +to the white man? +(Barry points to the honey industry owners. One of them is an African +American so he awkwardly separates himself from the others) +LAWYER: +- What are we gonna do? +- He's playing the species card. +BARRY: +Ladies and gentlemen, please, +free these bees! +ADAM AND VANESSA: +Free the bees! Free the bees! +BEES IN CROWD: +Free the bees! +HUMAN JURY: +Free the bees! Free the bees! +JUDGE BUMBLETON: +The court finds in favor of the bees! + +BARRY: +Vanessa, we won! +VANESSA: +I knew you could do it! High-five! +(Vanessa hits Barry hard because her hand is too big) + : +Sorry. +BARRY: +(Overjoyed) +I'm OK! You know what this means? + : +All the honey +will finally belong to the bees. + : +Now we won't have +to work so hard all the time. +MONTGOMERY: +This is an unholy perversion +of the balance of nature, Benson. + : +You'll regret this. +(Montgomery leaves and Barry goes outside the courtroom. Several reporters +start asking Barry questions) +REPORTER 1#: +Barry, how much honey is out there? +BARRY: +All right. One at a time. +REPORTER 2#: +Barry, who are you wearing? +BARRY: +My sweater is Ralph Lauren, +and I have no pants. + +(Barry flies outside with the paparazzi and Adam and Vanessa stay back) +ADAM: +(To Vanessa) +- What if Montgomery's right? +Vanessa: +- What do you mean? +ADAM: +We've been living the bee way +a long time, 27 million years. +(Flash forward in time and Barry is talking to a man) +BUSINESS MAN: +Congratulations on your victory. +What will you demand as a settlement? +BARRY: +First, we'll demand a complete shutdown +of all bee work camps. +(As Barry is talking we see a montage of men putting "closed" tape over the +work camps and freeing the bees in the crappy apartments) +Then we want back the honey +that was ours to begin with, + : +every last drop. +(Men in suits are pushing all the honey of the aisle and into carts) +We demand an end to the glorification +of the bear as anything more +(We see a statue of a bear-shaped honey container being pulled down by +bees) +than a filthy, smelly, +bad-breath stink machine. + : +We're all aware +of what they do in the woods. +(We see Winnie the Pooh sharing his honey with Piglet in the cross-hairs of +a high-tech sniper rifle) +BARRY: +(Looking through binoculars) + +Wait for my signal. + : +Take him out. +(Winnie gets hit by a tranquilizer dart and dramatically falls off the log +he was standing on, his tongue hanging out. Piglet looks at Pooh in fear +and the Sniper takes the honey.) +SNIPER: +He'll have nausea +for a few hours, then he'll be fine. +(Flash forward in time) +BARRY: +And we will no longer tolerate +bee-negative nicknames... +(Mr. Sting is sitting at home until he is taken out of his house by the men +in suits) +STING: +But it's just a prance-about stage name! +BARRY: +...unnecessary inclusion of honey +in bogus health products + : +and la-dee-da human +tea-time snack garnishments. +(An old lady is mixing honey into her tea but suddenly men in suits smash +her face down on the table and take the honey) +OLD LADY: +Can't breathe. +(A honey truck pulls up to Barry's hive) +WORKER: +Bring it in, boys! + : +Hold it right there! Good. + : +Tap it. + +(Tons of honey is being pumped into the hive's storage) +BEE WORKER 1#: +(Honey overflows from the cup) +Mr. Buzzwell, we just passed three cups, +and there's gallons more coming! + : +- I think we need to shut down! +=BEE WORKER #2= +- Shut down? We've never shut down. + : +Shut down honey production! +DEAN BUZZWELL: +Stop making honey! +(The bees all leave their stations. Two bees run into a room and they put +the keys into a machine) +Turn your key, sir! +(Two worker bees dramatically turn their keys, which opens the button which +they press, shutting down the honey-making machines. This is the first time +this has ever happened) +BEE: +...What do we do now? +(Flash forward in time and a Bee is about to jump into a pool full of +honey) +Cannonball! +(The bee gets stuck in the honey and we get a short montage of Bees leaving +work) +(We see the Pollen Jocks flying but one of them gets a call on his antenna) +LOU LU DUVA: +(Through "phone") +We're shutting honey production! + : +Mission abort. +POLLEN JOCK #1: +Aborting pollination and nectar detail. +Returning to base. +(The Pollen Jocks fly back to the hive) + +(We get a time lapse of Central Park slowly wilting away as the bees all +relax) +BARRY: +Adam, you wouldn't believe +how much honey was out there. +ADAM: +Oh, yeah? +BARRY: +What's going on? Where is everybody? +(The entire street is deserted) + : +- Are they out celebrating? +ADAM: +- They're home. + : +They don't know what to do. +Laying out, sleeping in. + : +I heard your Uncle Carl was on his way +to San Antonio with a cricket. +BARRY: +At least we got our honey back. +ADAM: +Sometimes I think, so what if humans +liked our honey? Who wouldn't? + : +It's the greatest thing in the world! +I was excited to be part of making it. + : +This was my new desk. This was my +new job. I wanted to do it really well. + : + +And now... + : +Now I can't. +(Flash forward in time and Barry is talking to Vanessa) +BARRY: +I don't understand +why they're not happy. + : +I thought their lives would be better! + : +They're doing nothing. It's amazing. +Honey really changes people. +VANESSA: +You don't have any idea +what's going on, do you? +BARRY: +- What did you want to show me? +(Vanessa takes Barry to the rooftop where they first had coffee and points +to her store) +VANESSA: +- This. +(Points at her flowers. They are all grey and wilting) +BARRY: +What happened here? +VANESSA: +That is not the half of it. +(Small flash forward in time and Vanessa and Barry are on the roof of her +store and she points to Central Park) +(We see that Central Park is no longer green and colorful, rather it is +grey, brown, and dead-like. It is very depressing to look at) +BARRY: +Oh, no. Oh, my. + : + +They're all wilting. +VANESSA: +Doesn't look very good, does it? +BARRY: +No. +VANESSA: +And whose fault do you think that is? +BARRY: +You know, I'm gonna guess bees. +VANESSA== +(Staring at Barry) +Bees? +BARRY: +Specifically, me. + : +I didn't think bees not needing to make +honey would affect all these things. +VANESSA: +It's not just flowers. +Fruits, vegetables, they all need bees. +BARRY: +That's our whole SAT test right there. +VANESSA: +Take away produce, that affects +the entire animal kingdom. + : +And then, of course... +BARRY: +The human species? + : +So if there's no more pollination, + + : +it could all just go south here, +couldn't it? +VANESSA: +I know this is also partly my fault. +BARRY: +How about a suicide pact? +VANESSA: +How do we do it? +BARRY: +- I'll sting you, you step on me. +VANESSA: +- That just kills you twice. +BARRY: +Right, right. +VANESSA: +Listen, Barry... +sorry, but I gotta get going. +(Vanessa leaves) +BARRY: +(To himself) +I had to open my mouth and talk. + : +Vanessa? + : +Vanessa? Why are you leaving? +Where are you going? +(Vanessa is getting into a taxi) +VANESSA: +To the final Tournament of Roses parade +in Pasadena. + : + +They've moved it to this weekend +because all the flowers are dying. + : +It's the last chance +I'll ever have to see it. +BARRY: +Vanessa, I just wanna say I'm sorry. +I never meant it to turn out like this. +VANESSA: +I know.

Nice brooch. +=VANESSA== +Thank you. It was a gift. +(Barry is revealed to be hiding inside the brooch) +(Flash back in time and Barry and Vanessa are discussing their plan) +BARRY: +Once inside, +we just pick the right float. +VANESSA: +How about The Princess and the Pea? + : +I could be the princess, +and you could be the pea! +BARRY: +Yes, I got it. + : +- Where should I sit? +GUARD: +- What are you? +BARRY: +- I believe I'm the pea. +GUARD: +- The pea? +VANESSA: + +It goes under the mattresses. +GUARD: +- Not in this fairy tale, sweetheart. +- I'm getting the marshal. +VANESSA: +You do that! +This whole parade is a fiasco! + : +Let's see what this baby'll do. +(Vanessa drives the float through traffic) +GUARD: +Hey, what are you doing?! +BARRY== +Then all we do +is blend in with traffic... + : +...without arousing suspicion. + : +Once at the airport, +there's no stopping us. +(Flash forward in time and Barry and Vanessa are about to get on a plane) +SECURITY GUARD: +Stop! Security. + : +- You and your insect pack your float? +VANESSA: +- Yes. +SECURITY GUARD: +Has it been +in your possession the entire time? +VANESSA: +- Yes. + +SECURITY GUARD: +Would you remove your shoes? +(To Barry) +- Remove your stinger. +BARRY: +- It's part of me. +SECURITY GUARD: +I know.

They'll never make it. +BARRY: + +I gotta get up there +and talk to them. +VANESSA== +Be careful. +(Barry flies right outside the cockpit door) +BARRY: +Can I get help +with the Sky Mall magazine? +I'd like to order the talking +inflatable nose and ear hair trimmer. +(The flight attendant opens the door and walks out and Barry flies into the +cockpit unseen) +BARRY: +Captain, I'm in a real situation. +CAPTAIN SCOTT: +- What'd you say, Hal? +CO-PILOT HAL: +- Nothing. +(Scott notices Barry and freaks out) +CAPTAIN SCOTT: +Bee! +BARRY: +No,no,no, Don't freak out! My entire species... +(Captain Scott gets out of his seat and tries to suck Barry into a handheld +vacuum) +HAL: +(To Scott) +What are you doing? +(Barry lands on Hals hair but Scott sees him. He tries to suck up Barry but +instead he sucks up Hals toupee) +CAPTAIN SCOTT: +Uh-oh. +BARRY: +- Wait a minute! I'm an attorney! + +HAL: +(Hal doesn't know Barry is on his head) +- Who's an attorney? +CAPTAIN SCOTT: +Don't move. +(Scott hits Hal in the face with the vacuum in an attempt to hit Barry. Hal +is knocked out and he falls on the life raft button which launches an +infalatable boat into Scott, who gets knocked out and falls to the floor. +They are both uncounscious.) +BARRY: +(To himself) +Oh, Barry. +BARRY: +(On intercom, with a Southern accent) +Good afternoon, passengers. +This is your captain. + : +Would a Miss Vanessa Bloome in 24B +please report to the cockpit? +(Vanessa looks confused) +(Normal accent) +...And please hurry! +(Vanessa opens the door and sees the life raft and the uncounscious pilots) +VANESSA: +What happened here? +BARRY: +I tried to talk to them, but +then there was a DustBuster, +a toupee, a life raft exploded. + : +Now one's bald, one's in a boat, +and they're both unconscious! +VANESSA: +...Is that another bee joke? +BARRY: + +- No! + : +No one's flying the plane! +BUD DITCHWATER: +(Through radio on plane) +This is JFK control tower, Flight 356. +What's your status? +VANESSA: +This is Vanessa Bloome. +I'm a florist from New York. +BUD: +Where's the pilot? +VANESSA: +He's unconscious, +and so is the copilot. +BUD: +Not good.

Oh, great. +BARRY: +Vanessa, this is nothing more +than a big metal bee. + : +It's got giant wings, huge engines. + +VANESSA: +I can't fly a plane. +BARRY: +- Why not? Isn't John Travolta a pilot? +VANESSA: +- Yes. +BARRY: +How hard could it be? +(Vanessa sits down and flies for a little bit but we see lightning clouds +outside the window) +VANESSA: +Wait, Barry! +We're headed into some lightning. +(An ominous lightning storm looms in front of the plane) +(We are now watching the Bee News) +BOB BUMBLE: +This is Bob Bumble. We have some +late-breaking news from JFK Airport, + : +where a suspenseful scene +is developing. + : +Barry Benson, +fresh from his legal victory... +ADAM: +That's Barry! +BOB BUMBLE: +...is attempting to land a plane, +loaded with people, flowers + : +and an incapacitated flight crew. +JANET, MARTIN, UNCLE CAR AND ADAM: +Flowers?! +(The scene switches to the human news) + +REPORTER: +(Talking with Bob Bumble) +We have a storm in the area +and two individuals at the controls + : +with absolutely no flight experience. +BOB BUMBLE: +Just a minute. +There's a bee on that plane. +BUD: +I'm quite familiar with Mr. Benson +and his no-account compadres. + : +They've done enough damage. +REPORTER: +But isn't he your only hope? +BUD: +Technically, a bee +shouldn't be able to fly at all. + : +Their wings are too small... +BARRY: +(Through radio) +Haven't we heard this a million times? + : +"The surface area of the wings +and body mass make no sense."... +BOB BUMBLE: +- Get this on the air! +BEE: +- Got it. + +BEE NEWS CREW: +- Stand by. +BEE NEWS CREW: +- We're going live! +BARRY: +(Through radio on TV) +...The way we work may be a mystery to you. + : +Making honey takes a lot of bees +doing a lot of small jobs. + : +But let me tell you about a small job. + : +If you do it well, +it makes a big difference. + : +More than we realized. +To us, to everyone. + : +That's why I want to get bees +back to working together. + : +That's the bee way! +We're not made of Jell-O. + : +We get behind a fellow. + : +- Black and yellow! +BEES: +- Hello! +(The scene switches and Barry is teaching Vanessa how to fly) +BARRY: + +Left, right, down, hover. +VANESSA: +- Hover? +BARRY: +- Forget hover. +VANESSA: +This isn't so hard. +(Pretending to honk the horn) +Beep-beep! Beep-beep! +(A Lightning bolt hits the plane and autopilot turns off) +Barry, what happened?! +BARRY: +Wait, I think we were +on autopilot the whole time. +VANESSA: +- That may have been helping me. +BARRY: +- And now we're not! +VANESSA: +So it turns out I cannot fly a plane. +(The plane plummets but we see Lou Lu Duva and the Pollen Jocks, along with +multiple other bees flying towards the plane) +Lou Lu DUva: +All of you, let's get +behind this fellow! Move it out! + : +Move out! +(The scene switches back to Vanessa and Barry in the plane) +BARRY: +Our only chance is if I do what I'd do, +you copy me with the wings of the plane! +(Barry sticks out his arms like an airplane and flys in front of Vanessa's +face) + +VANESSA: +Don't have to yell. +BARRY: +I'm not yelling! +We're in a lot of trouble. +VANESSA: +It's very hard to concentrate +with that panicky tone in your voice! +BARRY: +It's not a tone. I'm panicking! +VANESSA: +I can't do this! +(Barry slaps Vanessa) +BARRY: +Vanessa, pull yourself together. +You have to snap out of it! +VANESSA: +(Slaps Barry) +You snap out of it. +BARRY: +(Slaps Vanessa) + : +You snap out of it. +VANESSA: +- You snap out of it! +BARRY: +- You snap out of it! +(We see that all the Pollen Jocks are flying under the plane) +VANESSA: +- You snap out of it! +BARRY: +- You snap out of it! + +VANESSA: +- You snap out of it! +BARRY: +- You snap out of it! +VANESSA: +- Hold it! +BARRY: +- Why? Come on, it's my turn. +VANESSA: +How is the plane flying? +(The plane is now safely flying) +VANESSA: +I don't know. +(Barry's antennae rings like a phone. Barry picks up) +BARRY: +Hello? +LOU LU DUVA: +(Through "phone") +Benson, got any flowers +for a happy occasion in there? +(All of the Pollen Jocks are carrying the plane) +BARRY: +The Pollen Jocks! + : +They do get behind a fellow. +LOU LU DUVA: +- Black and yellow. +POLLEN JOCKS: +- Hello. +LOU LU DUVA: +All right, let's drop this tin can + +on the blacktop. +BARRY: +Where? I can't see anything. Can you? +VANESSA: +No, nothing. It's all cloudy. + : +Come on. You got to think bee, Barry. +BARRY: +- Thinking bee. +- Thinking bee. +(On the runway there are millions of bees laying on their backs) +BEES: +Thinking bee! +Thinking bee! Thinking bee! +BARRY: +Wait a minute. +I think I'm feeling something. +VANESSA: +- What? +BARRY: +- I don't know. It's strong, pulling me. + : +Like a 27-million-year-old instinct. + : +Bring the nose down. +BEES: +Thinking bee! +Thinking bee! Thinking bee! +CONTROL TOWER OPERATOR: +- What in the world is on the tarmac? +BUD: +- Get some lights on that! + +(It is revealed that all the bees are organized into a giant pulsating +flower formation) +BEES: +Thinking bee! +Thinking bee! Thinking bee! +BARRY: +- Vanessa, aim for the flower. +VANESSA: +- OK. +BARRY: +Out the engines. We're going in +on bee power. Ready, boys? +LOU LU DUVA: +Affirmative! +BARRY: +Good. Good. Easy, now. That's it. + : +Land on that flower! + : +Ready? Full reverse! + : +Spin it around! +(The plane's nose is pointed at a flower painted on a nearby plane) +- Not that flower! The other one! +VANESSA: +- Which one? +BARRY: +- That flower. +(The plane is now pointed at a fat guy in a flowered shirt. He freaks out +and tries to take a picture of the plane) +VANESSA: +- I'm aiming at the flower! + +BARRY: +That's a fat guy in a flowered shirt. +I mean the giant pulsating flower +made of millions of bees! +(The plane hovers over the bee-flower) + : +Pull forward. Nose down. Tail up. + : +Rotate around it. +VANESSA: +- This is insane, Barry! +BARRY: +- This's the only way I know how to fly. +BUD: +Am I koo-koo-kachoo, or is this plane +flying in an insect-like pattern? +(The plane is unrealistically hovering and spinning over the bee-flower) +BARRY: +Get your nose in there. Don't be afraid. +Smell it. Full reverse! + : +Just drop it. Be a part of it. + : +Aim for the center! + : +Now drop it in! Drop it in, woman! + : +Come on, already. +(The bees scatter and the plane safely lands) +VANESSA: +Barry, we did it! +You taught me how to fly! + +BARRY: +- Yes! +(Vanessa is about to high-five Barry) +No high-five! +VANESSA: +- Right. +ADAM: +Barry, it worked! +Did you see the giant flower? +BARRY: +What giant flower? Where? Of course +I saw the flower! That was genius! +ADAM: +- Thank you. +BARRY: +- But we're not done yet. + : +Listen, everyone! + : +This runway is covered +with the last pollen + : +from the last flowers +available anywhere on Earth. + : +That means this is our last chance. + : +We're the only ones who make honey, +pollinate flowers and dress like this. + : +If we're gonna survive as a species, +this is our moment! What do you say? + + : +Are we going to be bees, or just +Museum of Natural History keychains? +BEES: +We're bees! +BEE WHO LIKES KEYCHAINS: +Keychain! +BARRY: +Then follow me! Except Keychain. +POLLEN JOCK #1: +Hold on, Barry. Here. + : +You've earned this. +BARRY: +Yeah! + : +I'm a Pollen Jock! And it's a perfect +fit. All I gotta do are the sleeves. +(The Pollen Jocks throw Barry a nectar-collecting gun. Barry catches it) +Oh, yeah. +JANET: +That's our Barry. +(Barry and the Pollen Jocks get pollen from the flowers on the plane) +(Flash forward in time and the Pollen Jocks are flying over NYC) + : +(Barry pollinates the flowers in Vanessa's shop and then heads to Central +Park) +BOY IN PARK: +Mom! The bees are back! +ADAM: +(Putting on his Krelman hat) +If anybody needs + +to make a call, now's the time. + : +I got a feeling we'll be +working late tonight! +(The bee honey factories are back up and running) +(Meanwhile at Vanessa's shop) +VANESSA: +(To customer) +Here's your change. Have a great +afternoon! Can I help who's next? + : +Would you like some honey with that? +It is bee-approved. Don't forget these. +(There is a room in the shop where Barry does legal work for other animals. +He is currently talking with a Cow) +COW: +Milk, cream, cheese, it's all me. +And I don't see a nickel! + : +Sometimes I just feel +like a piece of meat! +BARRY: +I had no idea. +VANESSA: +Barry, I'm sorry. +Have you got a moment? +BARRY: +Would you excuse me? +My mosquito associate will help you. +MOOSEBLOOD: +Sorry I'm late. +COW: +He's a lawyer too? + +MOOSEBLOOD: +Ma'am, I was already a blood-sucking parasite. +All I needed was a briefcase. +VANESSA: +Have a great afternoon! + : +Barry, I just got this huge tulip order, +and I can't get them anywhere. +BARRY: +No problem, Vannie. +Just leave it to me. +VANESSA: +You're a lifesaver, Barry. +Can I help who's next? +BARRY: +All right, scramble, jocks! +It's time to fly. +VANESSA: +Thank you, Barry! +(Ken walks by on the sidewalk and sees the "bee-approved honey" in +Vanessa's shop) +KEN: +That bee is living my life!! +ANDY: +Let it go, Kenny. +KEN: +- When will this nightmare end?! +ANDY: +- Let it all go. +BARRY: +- Beautiful day to fly. +POLLEN JOCK: + +- Sure is. +BARRY: +Between you and me, +I was dying to get out of that office. +(Barry recreates the scene near the beginning of the movie where he flies +through the box kite. The movie fades to black and the credits being) +[--after credits; No scene can be seen but the characters can be heard +talking over the credits--] +You have got +to start thinking bee, my friend! + : +- Thinking bee! +- Me? +BARRY: +(Talking over singer) +Hold it. Let's just stop +for a second. Hold it. + : +I'm sorry. I'm sorry, everyone. +Can we stop here? +SINGER: +Oh, BarryBARRY: +I'm not making a major life decision +during a production number! +SINGER: +All right.
