1 According to all known laws
7 Its wings are too small to get
8 its fat little body off the ground.
10 The bee, of course, flies anyway
12 because bees don't care
13 what humans think is impossible.
15 Yellow, black. Yellow, black.
16 Yellow, black. Yellow, black.
18 Ooh, black and yellow!
19 Let's shake it up a little.
21 Barry! Breakfast is ready!
32 - Can you believe this is happening?
33 - I can't. I'll pick you up.
37 Use the stairs. Your father
38 paid good money for those.
43 We're very proud of you, son.
45 A perfect report card, all B's.
49 Ma! I got a thing going here.
51 - You got lint on your fuzz.
54 - Wave to us! We'll be in row 118,000.
58 stop flying in the house!
64 - A little. Special day, graduation.
66 Never thought I'd make it.
68 Three days grade school,
69 three days high school.
73 Three days college. I'm glad I took
74 a day and hitchhiked around the hive.
76 You did come back different.
79 - Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good.
84 - You going to the funeral?
88 sting someone, you die.
90 Don't waste it on a squirrel.
94 just gotten out of the way.
96 I love this incorporating
97 an amusement park into our day.
99 That's why we don't need vacations.
101 Boy, quite a bit of pomp...
102 under the circumstances.
104 - Well, Adam, today we are men.
112 Students, faculty, distinguished bees,
114 please welcome Dean Buzzwell.
116 Welcome, New Hive City
117 graduating class of...
121 That concludes our ceremonies.
123 And begins your career
126 Will we pick ourjob today?
128 I heard it's just orientation.
130 Heads up! Here we go.
132 Keep your hands and antennas
133 inside the tram at all times.
135 - Wonder what it'll be like?
139 a division of Honesco
141 and a part of the Hexagon Group.
149 We know that you, as a bee,
150 have worked your whole life
152 to get to the point where you
153 can work for your whole life.
155 Honey begins when our valiant Pollen
156 Jocks bring the nectar to the hive.
158 Our top-secret formula
160 is automatically color-corrected,
161 scent-adjusted and bubble-contoured
163 into this soothing sweet syrup
166 golden glow you know as...
174 - Yes, we're all cousins.
176 - Right. You're right.
177 - At Honex, we constantly strive
179 to improve every aspect
182 These bees are stress-testing
183 a new helmet technology.
185 - What do you think he makes?
188 Here we have our latest advancement,
192 - Catches that little strand of honey
194 that hangs after you pour it.
197 Can anyone work on the Krelman?
199 Of course. Most bee jobs are
200 small ones. But bees know
202 that every small job,
203 if it's done well, means a lot.
207 because you'll stay in the job
208 you pick for the rest of your life.
210 The same job the rest of your life?
213 What's the difference?
215 You'll be happy to know that bees,
216 as a species, haven't had one day off
220 So you'll just work us to death?
224 Wow! That blew my mind!
226 "What's the difference?"
227 How can you say that?
230 That's an insane choice to have to make.
232 I'm relieved. Now we only have
233 to make one decision in life.
235 But, Adam, how could they
236 never have told us that?
238 Why would you question anything?
241 We're the most perfectly
242 functioning society on Earth.
244 You ever think maybe things
245 work a little too well here?
247 Like what? Give me one example.
249 I don't know. But you know
250 what I'm talking about.
252 Please clear the gate.
253 Royal Nectar Force on approach.
255 Wait a second. Check it out.
257 - Hey, those are Pollen Jocks!
260 I've never seen them this close.
262 They know what it's like
265 Yeah, but some don't come back.
273 You're sky freaks! I love it! I love it!
275 - I wonder where they were.
278 Their day's not planned.
280 Outside the hive, flying who knows
281 where, doing who knows what.
283 You can'tjust decide to be a Pollen
284 Jock. You have to be bred for that.
288 Look. That's more pollen
289 than you and I will see in a lifetime.
291 It's just a status symbol.
292 Bees make too much of it.
294 Perhaps. Unless you're wearing it
295 and the ladies see you wearing it.
298 Aren't they our cousins too?
304 - Couple of Hive Harrys.
305 - Let's have fun with them.
310 Yeah. Once a bear pinned me
313 He had a paw on my throat,
314 and with the other, he was slapping me!
317 - I never thought I'd knock him out.
319 What were you doing during this?
321 Trying to alert the authorities.
323 I can autograph that.
325 A little gusty out there today,
330 We're hitting a sunflower patch
331 six miles from here tomorrow.
336 A puddle jump for us,
337 but maybe you're not up for it.
342 We're going 0900 at J-Gate.
344 What do you think, buzzy-boy?
347 I might be. It all depends
352 Dad, you surprised me.
354 You decide what you're interested in?
356 - Well, there's a lot of choices.
357 - But you only get one.
359 Do you ever get bored
360 doing the same job every day?
362 Son, let me tell you about stirring.
364 You grab that stick, and you just
365 move it around, and you stir it around.
367 You get yourself into a rhythm.
368 It's a beautiful thing.
371 the more I think about it,
373 maybe the honey field
374 just isn't right for me.
376 You were thinking of what,
377 making balloon animals?
380 for a guy with a stinger.
382 Janet, your son's not sure
383 he wants to go into honey!
385 - Barry, you are so funny sometimes.
386 - I'm not trying to be funny.
388 You're not funny! You're going
389 into honey. Our son, the stirrer!
391 - You're gonna be a stirrer?
392 - No one's listening to me!
394 Wait till you see the sticks I have.
396 I could say anything right now.
397 I'm gonna get an ant tattoo!
399 Let's open some honey and celebrate!
401 Maybe I'll pierce my thorax.
404 Shack up with a grasshopper. Get
405 a gold tooth and call everybody "dawg"!
409 - We're starting work today!
412 Come on! All the good jobs
417 Pollen counting, stunt bee, pouring,
418 stirrer, front desk, hair removal...
420 - Is it still available?
423 One of them's yours! Congratulations!
427 - Picking crud out. Stellar!
433 Yes, sir! Our first day! We are ready!
437 - You want to go first?
440 Oh, my. What's available?
442 Restroom attendant's open,
443 not for the reason you think.
445 - Any chance of getting the Krelman?
448 I'm sorry, the Krelman just closed out.
450 Wax monkey's always open.
452 The Krelman opened up again.
456 A bee died. Makes an opening. See?
457 He's dead. Another dead one.
459 Deady. Deadified. Two more dead.
461 Dead from the neck up.
462 Dead from the neck down. That's life!
467 stunt bee, pourer, stirrer,
469 humming, inspector number seven,
470 lint coordinator, stripe supervisor,
472 mite wrangler. Barry, what
473 do you think I should... Barry?
477 All right, we've got the sunflower patch
480 What happened to you?
489 I have to, before I go
490 to work for the rest of my life.
492 You're gonna die! You're crazy! Hello?
494 Another call coming in.
496 If anyone's feeling brave,
497 there's a Korean deli on 83rd
499 that gets their roses today.
504 - Isn't that the kid we saw yesterday?
506 Hold it, son, flight deck's restricted.
508 It's OK, Lou. We're gonna take him up.
510 Really? Feeling lucky, are you?
512 Sign here, here. Just initial that.
517 You got a rain advisory today,
520 bees cannot fly in rain.
522 So be careful. As always,
526 birds, bears and bats.
528 Also, I got a couple of reports
529 of root beer being poured on us.
531 Murphy's in a home because of it,
532 babbling like a cicada!
535 - And a reminder for you rookies,
538 absolutely no talking to humans!
540 All right, launch positions!
542 Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz,
543 buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz!
549 You ready for this, hot shot?
551 Yeah. Yeah, bring it on.
556 - Nectar pack, check.
561 Scared out of my shorts, check.
567 Pound those petunias,
568 you striped stem-suckers!
570 All of you, drain those flowers!
574 I can't believe I'm out!
578 I feel so fast and free!
587 We have roses visual.
589 Bring it around 30 degrees and hold.
593 30 degrees, roger. Bringing it around.
595 Stand to the side, kid.
596 It's got a bit of a kick.
598 That is one nectar collector!
600 - Ever see pollination up close?
603 I pick up some pollen here, sprinkle it
604 over here. Maybe a dash over there,
607 See that? It's a little bit of magic.
609 That's amazing. Why do we do that?
611 That's pollen power. More pollen, more
612 flowers, more nectar, more honey for us.
616 I'm picking up a lot of bright yellow.
617 Could be daisies. Don't we need those?
621 Wait. One of these flowers
622 seems to be on the move.
624 Say again? You're reporting
629 That was on the line!
631 This is the coolest. What is it?
633 I don't know, but I'm loving this color.
636 Not like a flower, but I like it.
642 Careful, guys. It's a little grabby.
644 My sweet lord of bees!
646 Candy-brain, get off there!
661 You are way out of position, rookie!
663 Coming in at you like a missile!
667 I don't think these are flowers.
669 - Should we tell him?
676 You can start packing up, honey,
677 because you're about to eat it!
683 There's a bee in the car!
691 He's going to sting me!
693 Nobody move. If you don't move,
694 he won't sting you. Freeze!
702 Wow... the tension level
703 out here is unbelievable.
713 Mayday! Mayday! Bee going down!
721 Check out my new resume.
722 I made it into a fold-out brochure.
726 Oh, no. More humans. I don't need this.
730 Maybe this time. This time. This time.
731 This time! This time! This...
737 It's fantastic. It's got all my special
738 skills, even my top-ten favorite movies.
740 What's number one? Star Wars?
742 Nah, I don't go for that...
746 No wonder we shouldn't talk to them.
747 They're out of their minds.
749 When I leave a job interview, they're
750 flabbergasted, can't believe what I say.
752 There's the sun. Maybe that's a way out.
754 I don't remember the sun
755 having a big 75 on it.
757 I predicted global warming.
759 I could feel it getting hotter.
760 At first I thought it was just me.
764 Stand back. These are winter boots.
770 You know I'm allergic to them!
771 This thing could kill me!
773 Why does his life have
774 less value than yours?
776 Why does his life have any less value
777 than mine? Is that your statement?
779 I'm just saying all life has value. You
780 don't know what he's capable of feeling.
784 There you go, little guy.
786 I'm not scared of him.
787 It's an allergic thing.
789 Put that on your resume brochure.
791 My whole face could puff up.
793 Make it one of your special skills.
796 is also a special skill.
798 Right. Bye, Vanessa. Thanks.
800 - Vanessa, next week? Yogurt night?
801 - Sure, Ken. You know, whatever.
803 - You could put carob chips on there.
806 - Supposed to be less calories.
809 I gotta say something.
812 I gotta say something.
814 All right, here it goes.
820 I could really get in trouble.
823 You're not supposed to talk to a human.
825 I can't believe I'm doing this.
829 Oh, I can't do it. Come on!
835 How should I start it?
836 "You like jazz?" No, that's no good.
838 Here she comes! Speak, you fool!
851 No, it's OK. It's fine.
854 But I don't recall going to bed.
857 is very disconcerting.
859 This is a bit of a surprise to me.
860 I mean, you're a bee!
862 I am. And I'm not supposed
865 but they were all trying to kill me.
867 And if it wasn't for you...
870 It's just how I was raised.
872 That was a little weird.
874 - I'm talking with a bee.
877 I'm talking to a bee.
878 And the bee is talking to me!
880 I just want to say I'm grateful.
883 - Wait! How did you learn to do that?
888 Same way you did, I guess.
889 "Mama, Dada, honey." You pick it up.
894 Bees are funny. If we didn't laugh,
895 we'd cry with what we have to deal with.
901 ...get you something?
904 I don't know. I mean...
905 I don't know. Coffee?
907 I don't want to put you out.
909 It's no trouble. It takes two minutes.
914 - Don't be ridiculous!
915 - Actually, I would love a cup.
917 Hey, you want rum cake?
925 I'm trying to lose a couple micrograms.
928 - These stripes don't help.
932 I don't know if you know
933 anything about fashion.
939 He's making the tie in the cab
940 as they're flying up Madison.
942 He finally gets there.
944 He runs up the steps into the church.
947 And he says, "Watermelon?
948 I thought you said Guatemalan.
950 Why would I marry a watermelon?"
954 That's the kind of stuff we do.
958 So, what are you gonna do, Barry?
960 About work? I don't know.
962 I want to do my part for the hive,
963 but I can't do it the way they want.
970 My parents wanted me to be a lawyer or
971 a doctor, but I wanted to be a florist.
974 - My only interest is flowers.
976 Our new queen was just elected
977 with that same campaign slogan.
979 Anyway, if you look...
981 There's my hive right there. See it?
983 You're in Sheep Meadow!
985 Yes! I'm right off the Turtle Pond!
987 No way! I know that area.
988 I lost a toe ring there once.
990 - Why do girls put rings on their toes?
993 - It's like putting a hat on your knee.
994 - Maybe I'll try that.
996 - You all right, ma'am?
999 Just having two cups of coffee!
1001 Anyway, this has been great.
1002 Thanks for the coffee.
1004 Yeah, it's no trouble.
1006 Sorry I couldn't finish it. If I did,
1007 I'd be up the rest of my life.
1011 Can I take a piece of this with me?
1013 Sure! Here, have a crumb.
1018 All right. Well, then...
1019 I guess I'll see you around.
1026 so much again... for before.
1028 Oh, that? That was nothing.
1030 Well, not nothing, but... Anyway...
1032 This can't possibly work.
1035 We may as well try it.
1037 OK, Dave, pull the chute.
1042 It was the scariest,
1043 happiest moment of my life.
1045 Humans! I can't believe
1046 you were with humans!
1048 Giant, scary humans!
1049 What were they like?
1051 Huge and crazy. They talk crazy.
1053 They eat crazy giant things.
1056 - Do they try and kill you, like on TV?
1057 - Some of them. But some of them don't.
1059 - How'd you get back?
1062 You did it, and I'm glad. You saw
1063 whatever you wanted to see.
1065 You had your "experience." Now you
1066 can pick out yourjob and be normal.
1071 Well, I met someone.
1073 You did? Was she Bee-ish?
1075 - A wasp?! Your parents will kill you!
1076 - No, no, no, not a wasp.
1079 - I'm not attracted to spiders.
1081 I know it's the hottest thing,
1082 with the eight legs and all.
1084 I can't get by that face.
1090 No, no. That's a bee law.
1091 You wouldn't break a bee law.
1093 - Her name's Vanessa.
1096 She's so nice. And she's a florist!
1098 Oh, no! You're dating a human florist!
1102 You're flying outside the hive, talking
1103 to humans that attack our homes
1105 with power washers and M-80s!
1106 One-eighth a stick of dynamite!
1109 And she understands me.
1115 This is not over! What was that?
1117 - They call it a crumb.
1118 - It was so stingin' stripey!
1120 And that's not what they eat.
1121 That's what falls off what they eat!
1123 - You know what a Cinnabon is?
1126 It's bread and cinnamon and frosting.
1134 We are not them! We're us.
1135 There's us and there's them!
1137 Yes, but who can deny
1138 the heart that is yearning?
1140 There's no yearning.
1141 Stop yearning. Listen to me!
1143 You have got to start thinking bee,
1144 my friend. Thinking bee!
1149 Thinking bee! Thinking bee!
1150 Thinking bee! Thinking bee!
1152 There he is. He's in the pool.
1154 You know what your problem is, Barry?
1156 I gotta start thinking bee?
1158 How much longer will this go on?
1160 It's been three days!
1161 Why aren't you working?
1163 I've got a lot of big life decisions
1166 What life? You have no life!
1167 You have no job. You're barely a bee!
1170 to make a little honey?
1173 Your father's talking to you.
1175 Martin, would you talk to him?
1177 Barry, I'm talking to you!
1185 Go ahead. I'll catch up.
1194 - I told you not to yell at him.
1196 He doesn't respond to yelling!
1198 - Then why yell at me?
1199 - Because you don't listen!
1201 I'm not listening to this.
1203 Sorry, I've gotta go.
1205 - Where are you going?
1206 - I'm meeting a friend.
1208 A girl? Is this why you can't decide?
1212 I just hope she's Bee-ish.
1214 They have a huge parade
1215 of flowers every year in Pasadena?
1217 To be in the Tournament of Roses,
1218 that's every florist's dream!
1220 Up on a float, surrounded
1221 by flowers, crowds cheering.
1223 A tournament. Do the roses
1224 compete in athletic events?
1226 No. All right, I've got one.
1227 How come you don't fly everywhere?
1229 It's exhausting. Why don't you
1230 run everywhere? It's faster.
1232 Yeah, OK, I see, I see.
1233 All right, your turn.
1235 TiVo. You can just freeze live TV?
1238 You don't have that?
1240 We have Hivo, but it's a disease.
1241 It's a horrible, horrible disease.
1247 You must want to sting all those jerks.
1249 We try not to sting.
1250 It's usually fatal for us.
1252 So you have to watch your temper.
1255 You kick a wall, take a walk,
1257 write an angry letter and throw it out.
1258 Work through it like any emotion:
1260 Anger, jealousy, lust.
1262 Oh, my goodness! Are you OK?
1266 - What is wrong with you?!
1269 He's not bothering anybody.
1270 Get out of here, you creep!
1272 What was that? A Pic 'N' Save circular?
1274 Yeah, it was. How did you know?
1276 It felt like about 10 pages.
1277 Seventy-five is pretty much our limit.
1279 You've really got that
1282 - I lost a cousin to Italian Vogue.
1286 of Mighty Hercules is this?
1288 How did this get here?
1289 Cute Bee, Golden Blossom,
1291 Ray Liotta Private Select?
1294 - I never heard of him.
1297 - For people. We eat it.
1300 enough food of your own?
1303 - How do you get it?
1306 - I know who makes it!
1308 And it's hard to make it!
1310 There's heating, cooling, stirring.
1311 You need a whole Krelman thing!
1316 It's just honey, Barry.
1320 Bees don't know about this!
1321 This is stealing! A lot of stealing!
1323 You've taken our homes, schools,
1324 hospitals! This is all we have!
1327 I'm getting to the bottom of this.
1329 I'm getting to the bottom
1337 He is here. I sense it.
1339 Well, I guess I'll go home now
1341 and just leave this nice honey out,
1344 You're busted, box boy!
1346 I knew I heard something.
1350 And now you'll start talking!
1352 Where you getting the sweet stuff?
1353 Who's your supplier?
1356 I thought we were friends.
1358 The last thing we want
1359 to do is upset bees!
1361 You're too late! It's ours now!
1363 You, sir, have crossed
1366 You, sir, will be lunch
1367 for my iguana, Ignacio!
1369 Where is the honey coming from?
1373 Honey Farms! It comes from Honey Farms!
1377 What horrible thing has happened here?
1379 These faces, they never knew
1380 what hit them. And now
1382 they're on the road to nowhere!
1386 What? You're not dead?
1388 Do I look dead? They will wipe anything
1389 that moves. Where you headed?
1392 I am onto something huge here.
1394 I'm going to Alaska. Moose blood,
1395 crazy stuff. Blows your head off!
1397 I'm going to Tacoma.
1400 - He really is dead.
1409 - A wiper! Triple blade!
1412 Jump on! It's your only chance, bee!
1414 Why does everything have
1415 to be so doggone clean?!
1417 How much do you people need to see?!
1420 Stick your head out the window!
1422 From NPR News in Washington,
1425 But don't kill no more bugs!
1430 - You hear something?
1433 Like tiny screaming.
1441 Just a row of honey jars,
1442 as far as the eye could see.
1446 I assume wherever this truck goes
1447 is where they're getting it.
1449 I mean, that honey's ours.
1452 - We're all jammed in.
1454 It's a close community.
1456 Not us, man. We on our own.
1457 Every mosquito on his own.
1459 - What if you get in trouble?
1460 - You a mosquito, you in trouble.
1462 Nobody likes us. They just smack.
1463 See a mosquito, smack, smack!
1465 At least you're out in the world.
1466 You must meet girls.
1468 Mosquito girls try to trade up,
1469 get with a moth, dragonfly.
1471 Mosquito girl don't want no mosquito.
1473 You got to be kidding me!
1475 Mooseblood's about to leave
1476 the building! So long, bee!
1481 I knew I'd catch y'all down here.
1482 Did you bring your crazy straw?
1484 We throw it in jars, slap a label on it,
1485 and it's pretty much pure profit.
1490 the size of a pinhead.
1496 - Check out the new smoker.
1497 - Oh, sweet. That's the one you want.
1503 Ninety puffs a minute, semi-automatic.
1504 Twice the nicotine, all the tar.
1506 A couple breaths of this
1507 knocks them right out.
1509 They make the honey,
1510 and we make the money.
1512 "They make the honey,
1513 and we make the money"?
1517 What's going on? Are you OK?
1519 Yeah. It doesn't last too long.
1522 in a fake hive with fake walls?
1524 Our queen was moved here.
1528 That's a man in women's clothes!
1530 That's a drag queen!
1536 There's hundreds of them!
1540 Our honey is being brazenly stolen
1543 This is worse than anything bears
1544 have done! I intend to do something.
1548 Who told you humans are taking
1549 our honey? That's a rumor.
1551 Do these look like rumors?
1553 That's a conspiracy theory.
1554 These are obviously doctored photos.
1556 How did you get mixed up in this?
1558 He's been talking to humans.
1561 - Talking to humans?!
1563 He has a human girlfriend.
1570 - You wish you could.
1571 - Whose side are you on?
1575 I dated a cricket once in San Antonio.
1576 Those crazy legs kept me up all night.
1578 Barry, this is what you want
1579 to do with your life?
1581 I want to do it for all our lives.
1582 Nobody works harder than bees!
1585 coming home so overworked
1587 your hands were still stirring.
1592 What right do they have to our honey?
1594 We live on two cups a year. They put it
1595 in lip balm for no reason whatsoever!
1597 Even if it's true, what can one bee do?
1599 Sting them where it really hurts.
1601 In the face! The eye!
1606 Up the nose? That's a killer.
1608 There's only one place you can sting
1609 the humans, one place where it matters.
1611 Hive at Five, the hive's only
1612 full-hour action news source.
1616 With Bob Bumble at the anchor desk.
1618 Weather with Storm Stinger.
1620 Sports with Buzz Larvi.
1624 - Good evening. I'm Bob Bumble.
1625 - And I'm Jeanette Chung.
1627 A tri-county bee, Barry Benson,
1629 intends to sue the human race
1630 for stealing our honey,
1632 packaging it and profiting
1635 Tomorrow night on Bee Larry King,
1637 we'll have three former queens here in
1638 our studio, discussing their new book,
1641 out this week on Hexagon.
1643 Tonight we're talking to Barry Benson.
1645 Did you ever think, "I'm a kid
1646 from the hive. I can't do this"?
1648 Bees have never been afraid
1649 to change the world.
1651 What about Bee Columbus?
1652 Bee Gandhi? Bejesus?
1654 Where I'm from, we'd never sue humans.
1657 of stickball or candy stores.
1662 is supporting you in this case,
1664 which will be the trial
1667 You know, they have a Larry King
1668 in the human world too.
1670 It's a common name. Next week...
1672 He looks like you and has a show
1673 and suspenders and colored dots...
1677 Glasses, quotes on the bottom from the
1678 guest even though you just heard 'em.
1680 Bear Week next week!
1681 They're scary, hairy and here live.
1683 Always leans forward, pointy shoulders,
1684 squinty eyes, very Jewish.
1686 In tennis, you attack
1687 at the point of weakness!
1689 It was my grandmother, Ken. She's 81.
1691 Honey, her backhand's a joke!
1692 I'm not gonna take advantage of that?
1695 Actual work going on here.
1697 - Is that that same bee?
1700 I'm helping him sue the human race.
1707 Yeah, I remember you. Timberland, size
1708 ten and a half. Vibram sole, I believe.
1710 Why does he talk again?
1712 Listen, you better go
1713 'cause we're really busy working.
1715 But it's our yogurt night!
1719 Why is yogurt night so difficult?!
1722 You two have been at this for hours!
1725 has been a huge help.
1731 to use the competition.
1733 So why are you helping me?
1735 Bees have good qualities.
1737 And it takes my mind off the shop.
1739 Instead of flowers, people
1740 are giving balloon bouquets now.
1742 Those are great, if you're three.
1744 And artificial flowers.
1746 - Oh, those just get me psychotic!
1749 Bent stingers, pointless pollination.
1751 Bees must hate those fake things!
1754 than a daffodil that's had work done.
1756 Maybe this could make up
1757 for it a little bit.
1759 - This lawsuit's a pretty big deal.
1762 You sure you want to go through with it?
1764 Am I sure? When I'm done with
1765 the humans, they won't be able
1767 to say, "Honey, I'm home,"
1768 without paying a royalty!
1770 It's an incredible scene
1771 here in downtown Manhattan,
1773 where the world anxiously waits,
1774 because for the first time in history,
1776 we will hear for ourselves
1777 if a honeybee can actually speak.
1779 What have we gotten into here, Barry?
1781 It's pretty big, isn't it?
1783 I can't believe how many humans
1784 don't work during the day.
1786 You think billion-dollar multinational
1787 food companies have good lawyers?
1789 Everybody needs to stay
1790 behind the barricade.
1792 - What's the matter?
1793 - I don't know, I just got a chill.
1795 Well, if it isn't the bee team.
1797 You boys work on this?
1799 All rise! The Honorable
1800 Judge Bumbleton presiding.
1802 All right. Case number 4475,
1804 Superior Court of New York,
1805 Barry Bee Benson v. the Honey Industry
1809 Mr. Montgomery, you're representing
1810 the five food companies collectively?
1814 Mr. Benson... you're representing
1815 all the bees of the world?
1817 I'm kidding. Yes, Your Honor,
1818 we're ready to proceed.
1821 your opening statement, please.
1823 Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
1825 my grandmother was a simple woman.
1827 Born on a farm, she believed
1828 it was man's divine right
1830 to benefit from the bounty
1831 of nature God put before us.
1833 If we lived in the topsy-turvy world
1834 Mr. Benson imagines,
1836 just think of what would it mean.
1838 I would have to negotiate
1841 for the elastic in my britches!
1845 How do we know this isn't some sort of
1847 holographic motion-picture-capture
1850 They could be using laser beams!
1852 Robotics! Ventriloquism!
1853 Cloning! For all we know,
1855 he could be on steroids!
1859 Ladies and gentlemen,
1860 there's no trickery here.
1862 I'm just an ordinary bee.
1863 Honey's pretty important to me.
1865 It's important to all bees.
1868 We make it. And we protect it
1871 Unfortunately, there are
1872 some people in this room
1874 who think they can take it from us
1876 'cause we're the little guys!
1877 I'm hoping that, after this is all over,
1879 you'll see how, by taking our honey,
1880 you not only take everything we have
1882 but everything we are!
1884 I wish he'd dress like that
1885 all the time. So nice!
1887 Call your first witness.
1889 So, Mr. Klauss Vanderhayden
1890 of Honey Farms, big company you have.
1895 Honeyburton and Honron!
1897 Yes, they provide beekeepers
1900 Beekeeper. I find that
1901 to be a very disturbing term.
1903 I don't imagine you employ
1904 any bee-free-ers, do you?
1907 - I couldn't hear you.
1912 Because you don't free bees.
1913 You keep bees. Not only that,
1915 it seems you thought a bear would be
1916 an appropriate image for a jar of honey.
1918 They're very lovable creatures.
1920 Yogi Bear, Fozzie Bear, Build-A-Bear.
1926 How'd you like his head crashing
1927 through your living room?!
1929 Biting into your couch!
1930 Spitting out your throw pillows!
1932 OK, that's enough. Take him away.
1934 So, Mr. Sting, thank you for being here.
1935 Your name intrigues me.
1937 - Where have I heard it before?
1938 - I was with a band called The Police.
1940 But you've never been
1941 a police officer, have you?
1945 No, you haven't. And so here
1946 we have yet another example
1948 of bee culture casually
1951 for nothing more than
1952 a prance-about stage name.
1956 Have you ever been stung, Mr. Sting?
1959 a little stung, Sting.
1961 Or should I say... Mr. Gordon M. Sumner!
1963 That's not his real name?! You idiots!
1966 belated congratulations on
1968 your Emmy win for a guest spot
1971 Thank you. Thank you.
1973 I see from your resume
1974 that you're devilishly handsome
1976 with a churning inner turmoil
1977 that's ready to blow.
1979 I enjoy what I do. Is that a crime?
1981 Not yet it isn't. But is this
1982 what it's come to for you?
1984 Exploiting tiny, helpless bees
1988 your part and learn your lines, sir?
1991 I could blow right now!
1993 This isn't a goodfella.
1996 Why doesn't someone just step on
1997 this creep, and we can all go home?!
1999 - Order in this court!
2000 - You're all thinking it!
2002 Order! Order, I say!
2005 - Mr. Liotta, please sit down!
2007 I think it was awfully nice
2008 of that bear to pitch in like that.
2010 I think the jury's on our side.
2012 Are we doing everything right, legally?
2016 Right. Well, here's to a great team.
2025 I didn't think you were coming.
2027 No, I was just late.
2028 I tried to call, but... the battery.
2030 I didn't want all this to go to waste,
2031 so I called Barry. Luckily, he was free.
2035 There's a little left.
2038 Yeah, heat it up, sure, whatever.
2040 So I hear you're quite a tennis player.
2042 I'm not much for the game myself.
2043 The ball's a little grabby.
2045 That's where I usually sit.
2048 Ken, Barry was looking at your resume,
2050 and he agreed with me that eating with
2051 chopsticks isn't really a special skill.
2053 You think I don't see what you're doing?
2055 I know how hard it is to find
2056 the rightjob. We have that in common.
2060 Bees have 100 percent employment,
2061 but we do jobs like taking the crud out.
2064 I was thinking about doing.
2066 Ken, I let Barry borrow your razor
2067 for his fuzz. I hope that was all right.
2069 I'm going to drain the old stinger.
2075 You know, I've just about had it
2077 with your little mind games.
2082 Mamma mia, that's a lot of pages.
2086 Remember what Van said, why is
2087 your life more valuable than mine?
2089 Funny, I just can't seem to recall that!
2091 I think something stinks in here!
2093 I love the smell of flowers.
2095 How do you like the smell of flames?!
2099 Water bug! Not taking sides!
2101 Ken, I'm wearing a Chapstick hat!
2106 Well, well, well, a royal flush!
2115 That bowl is gnarly.
2117 Except for those dirty yellow rings!
2119 Kenneth! What are you doing?!
2121 You know, I don't even like honey!
2126 He's just a little bee!
2128 And he happens to be
2129 the nicest bee I've met in a long time!
2131 Long time? What are you talking about?!
2132 Are there other bugs in your life?
2134 No, but there are other things bugging
2135 me in life. And you're one of them!
2137 Fine! Talking bees, no yogurt night...
2139 My nerves are fried from riding
2140 on this emotional roller coaster!
2144 And for your information,
2146 I prefer sugar-free, artificial
2147 sweeteners made by man!
2149 I'm sorry about all that.
2152 an aftertaste! I like it!
2154 I always felt there was some kind
2155 of barrier between Ken and me.
2157 I couldn't overcome it.
2160 Are you OK for the trial?
2162 I believe Mr. Montgomery
2163 is about out of ideas.
2165 We would like to call
2166 Mr. Barry Benson Bee to the stand.
2168 Good idea! You can really see why he's
2169 considered one of the best lawyers...
2174 gotta weave some magic
2177 or it's gonna be all over.
2179 Don't worry. The only thing I have
2180 to do to turn this jury around
2183 of what they don't like about bees.
2185 - You got the tweezers?
2188 Only to losing, son. Only to losing.
2190 Mr. Benson Bee, I'll ask you
2191 what I think we'd all like to know.
2193 What exactly is your relationship
2202 How good? Do you live together?
2206 Are you her little...
2210 I've seen a bee documentary or two.
2211 From what I understand,
2213 doesn't your queen give birth
2214 to all the bee children?
2217 - So those aren't your real parents!
2224 You're an illegitimate bee,
2227 He's denouncing bees!
2229 Don't y'all date your cousins?
2232 - I'm going to pincushion this guy!
2234 Adam, don't! It's what he wants!
2238 Oh, lordy, I am hit!
2242 The venom! The venom
2243 is coursing through my veins!
2246 by a winged beast of destruction!
2248 You see? You can't treat them
2249 like equals! They're striped savages!
2251 Stinging's the only thing
2252 they know! It's their way!
2254 - Adam, stay with me.
2255 - I can't feel my legs.
2258 will come forward to suck the poison
2260 from my heaving buttocks?
2262 I will have order in this court. Order!
2266 The case of the honeybees
2267 versus the human race
2269 took a pointed turn against the bees
2271 yesterday when one of their legal
2272 team stung Layton T. Montgomery.
2277 - Is there much pain?
2282 I blew the whole case, didn't I?
2284 It doesn't matter. What matters is
2285 you're alive. You could have died.
2287 I'd be better off dead. Look at me.
2289 They got it from the cafeteria
2290 downstairs, in a tuna sandwich.
2293 a little celery still on it.
2295 What was it like to sting someone?
2297 I can't explain it. It was all...
2299 All adrenaline and then...
2304 You think it was all a trap?
2306 Of course. I'm sorry.
2307 I flew us right into this.
2309 What were we thinking? Look at us. We're
2310 just a couple of bugs in this world.
2312 What will the humans do to us
2317 I hear they put the roaches in motels.
2318 That doesn't sound so bad.
2320 Adam, they check in,
2321 but they don't check out!
2325 Could you get a nurse
2326 to close that window?
2333 Right. Bees don't smoke.
2336 But some bees are smoking.
2338 That's it! That's our case!
2340 It is? It's not over?
2342 Get dressed. I've gotta go somewhere.
2344 Get back to the court and stall.
2345 Stall any way you can.
2347 And assuming you've done step correctly, you're ready for the tub.
2351 Yes? Yes, Your Honor!
2353 Where is the rest of your team?
2355 Well, Your Honor, it's interesting.
2357 Bees are trained to fly haphazardly,
2360 we don't make very good time.
2362 I actually heard a funny story about...
2365 haven't these ridiculous bugs
2368 of this court's valuable time?
2370 How much longer will we allow
2371 these absurd shenanigans to go on?
2373 They have presented no compelling
2374 evidence to support their charges
2377 who run legitimate businesses.
2379 I move for a complete dismissal
2380 of this entire case!
2382 Mr. Flayman, I'm afraid I'm going
2385 Mr. Montgomery's motion.
2387 But you can't! We have a terrific case.
2389 Where is your proof?
2390 Where is the evidence?
2392 Show me the smoking gun!
2394 Hold it, Your Honor!
2395 You want a smoking gun?
2397 Here is your smoking gun.
2404 This harmless little contraption?
2406 This couldn't hurt a fly,
2409 Look at what has happened
2411 to bees who have never been asked,
2414 Is this what nature intended for us?
2416 To be forcibly addicted
2419 and man-made wooden slat work camps?
2421 Living out our lives as honey slaves
2424 - What are we gonna do?
2425 - He's playing the species card.
2427 Ladies and gentlemen, please,
2430 Free the bees! Free the bees!
2434 Free the bees! Free the bees!
2436 The court finds in favor of the bees!
2440 I knew you could do it! High-five!
2444 I'm OK! You know what this means?
2447 will finally belong to the bees.
2450 to work so hard all the time.
2452 This is an unholy perversion
2453 of the balance of nature, Benson.
2457 Barry, how much honey is out there?
2459 All right. One at a time.
2461 Barry, who are you wearing?
2463 My sweater is Ralph Lauren,
2464 and I have no pants.
2466 - What if Montgomery's right?
2469 We've been living the bee way
2470 a long time, 27 million years.
2472 Congratulations on your victory.
2473 What will you demand as a settlement?
2475 First, we'll demand a complete shutdown
2476 of all bee work camps.
2478 Then we want back the honey
2479 that was ours to begin with,
2483 We demand an end to the glorification
2484 of the bear as anything more
2486 than a filthy, smelly,
2487 bad-breath stink machine.
2490 of what they do in the woods.
2497 for a few hours, then he'll be fine.
2499 And we will no longer tolerate
2500 bee-negative nicknames...
2502 But it's just a prance-about stage name!
2504 ...unnecessary inclusion of honey
2505 in bogus health products
2508 tea-time snack garnishments.
2514 Hold it right there! Good.
2518 Mr. Buzzwell, we just passed three cups,
2519 and there's gallons more coming!
2521 - I think we need to shut down!
2522 - Shut down? We've never shut down.
2524 Shut down honey production!
2534 We're shutting honey production!
2538 Aborting pollination and nectar detail.
2541 Adam, you wouldn't believe
2542 how much honey was out there.
2546 What's going on? Where is everybody?
2548 - Are they out celebrating?
2551 They don't know what to do.
2552 Laying out, sleeping in.
2554 I heard your Uncle Carl was on his way
2555 to San Antonio with a cricket.
2557 At least we got our honey back.
2559 Sometimes I think, so what if humans
2560 liked our honey? Who wouldn't?
2562 It's the greatest thing in the world!
2563 I was excited to be part of making it.
2565 This was my new desk. This was my
2566 new job. I wanted to do it really well.
2573 why they're not happy.
2575 I thought their lives would be better!
2577 They're doing nothing. It's amazing.
2578 Honey really changes people.
2580 You don't have any idea
2581 what's going on, do you?
2583 - What did you want to show me?
2588 That is not the half of it.
2592 They're all wilting.
2594 Doesn't look very good, does it?
2598 And whose fault do you think that is?
2600 You know, I'm gonna guess bees.
2606 I didn't think bees not needing to make
2607 honey would affect all these things.
2609 It's notjust flowers.
2610 Fruits, vegetables, they all need bees.
2612 That's our whole SAT test right there.
2614 Take away produce, that affects
2615 the entire animal kingdom.
2617 And then, of course...
2621 So if there's no more pollination,
2623 it could all just go south here,
2626 I know this is also partly my fault.
2628 How about a suicide pact?
2632 - I'll sting you, you step on me.
2633 - Thatjust kills you twice.
2638 sorry, but I gotta get going.
2640 I had to open my mouth and talk.
2644 Vanessa? Why are you leaving?
2645 Where are you going?
2647 To the final Tournament of Roses parade
2650 They've moved it to this weekend
2651 because all the flowers are dying.
2653 It's the last chance
2654 I'll ever have to see it.
2656 Vanessa, I just wanna say I'm sorry.
2657 I never meant it to turn out like this.
2661 Tournament of Roses.
2662 Roses can't do sports.
2664 Wait a minute. Roses. Roses?
2674 - Roses are flowers!
2677 Flowers, bees, pollen!
2680 That's why this is the last parade.
2683 Could you ask him to slow down?
2685 Could you slow down?
2689 OK, I made a huge mistake.
2690 This is a total disaster, all my fault.
2694 I've ruined the planet.
2695 I wanted to help you
2697 with the flower shop.
2700 Actually, it's completely closed down.
2702 I thought maybe you were remodeling.
2704 But I have another idea, and it's
2705 greater than my previous ideas combined.
2707 I don't want to hear it!
2709 All right, they have the roses,
2710 the roses have the pollen.
2712 I know every bee, plant
2713 and flower bud in this park.
2715 All we gotta do is get what they've got
2716 back here with what we've got.
2725 - Across the nation!
2727 Tournament of Roses,
2728 Pasadena, California.
2731 but flowers, floats and cotton candy.
2733 Security will be tight.
2737 Vanessa Bloome, FTD.
2739 Official floral business. It's real.
2741 Sorry, ma'am. Nice brooch.
2743 Thank you. It was a gift.
2746 we just pick the right float.
2748 How about The Princess and the Pea?
2750 I could be the princess,
2751 and you could be the pea!
2755 - Where should I sit?
2758 - I believe I'm the pea.
2761 It goes under the mattresses.
2763 - Not in this fairy tale, sweetheart.
2764 - I'm getting the marshal.
2767 This whole parade is a fiasco!
2769 Let's see what this baby'll do.
2771 Hey, what are you doing?!
2774 is blend in with traffic...
2776 ...without arousing suspicion.
2778 Once at the airport,
2779 there's no stopping us.
2783 - You and your insect pack your float?
2787 in your possession the entire time?
2789 Would you remove your shoes?
2791 - Remove your stinger.
2794 I know. Just having some fun.
2797 Then if we're lucky, we'll have
2798 just enough pollen to do the job.
2800 Can you believe how lucky we are? We
2801 have just enough pollen to do the job!
2803 I think this is gonna work.
2807 Attention, passengers,
2808 this is Captain Scott.
2810 We have a bit of bad weather
2813 It looks like we'll experience
2814 a couple hours delay.
2816 Barry, these are cut flowers
2817 with no water. They'll never make it.
2819 I gotta get up there
2825 with the Sky Mall magazine?
2827 I'd like to order the talking
2828 inflatable nose and ear hair trimmer.
2830 Captain, I'm in a real situation.
2832 - What'd you say, Hal?
2837 Don't freak out! My entire species...
2841 - Wait a minute! I'm an attorney!
2842 - Who's an attorney?
2848 Good afternoon, passengers.
2849 This is your captain.
2851 Would a Miss Vanessa Bloome in 24B
2852 please report to the cockpit?
2858 There was a DustBuster,
2859 a toupee, a life raft exploded.
2861 One's bald, one's in a boat,
2862 they're both unconscious!
2864 - Is that another bee joke?
2867 No one's flying the plane!
2869 This is JFK control tower, Flight 356.
2872 This is Vanessa Bloome.
2873 I'm a florist from New York.
2878 and so is the copilot.
2880 Not good. Does anyone onboard
2881 have flight experience?
2883 As a matter of fact, there is.
2888 From the honey trial?! Oh, great.
2890 Vanessa, this is nothing more
2891 than a big metal bee.
2893 It's got giant wings, huge engines.
2895 I can't fly a plane.
2897 - Why not? Isn't John Travolta a pilot?
2900 How hard could it be?
2903 We're headed into some lightning.
2905 This is Bob Bumble. We have some
2906 late-breaking news from JFK Airport,
2908 where a suspenseful scene
2912 fresh from his legal victory...
2916 ...is attempting to land a plane,
2917 loaded with people, flowers
2919 and an incapacitated flight crew.
2923 We have a storm in the area
2924 and two individuals at the controls
2926 with absolutely no flight experience.
2929 There's a bee on that plane.
2931 I'm quite familiar with Mr. Benson
2932 and his no-account compadres.
2934 They've done enough damage.
2936 But isn't he your only hope?
2939 shouldn't be able to fly at all.
2941 Their wings are too small...
2943 Haven't we heard this a million times?
2945 "The surface area of the wings
2946 and body mass make no sense."
2948 - Get this on the air!
2954 The way we work may be a mystery to you.
2956 Making honey takes a lot of bees
2957 doing a lot of small jobs.
2959 But let me tell you about a small job.
2962 it makes a big difference.
2964 More than we realized.
2967 That's why I want to get bees
2968 back to working together.
2971 We're not made of Jell-O.
2973 We get behind a fellow.
2978 Left, right, down, hover.
2984 Beep-beep! Beep-beep!
2986 Barry, what happened?!
2988 Wait, I think we were
2989 on autopilot the whole time.
2991 - That may have been helping me.
2992 - And now we're not!
2994 So it turns out I cannot fly a plane.
2996 All of you, let's get
2997 behind this fellow! Move it out!
3001 Our only chance is if I do what I'd do,
3002 you copy me with the wings of the plane!
3007 We're in a lot of trouble.
3009 It's very hard to concentrate
3010 with that panicky tone in your voice!
3012 It's not a tone. I'm panicking!
3016 Vanessa, pull yourself together.
3017 You have to snap out of it!
3023 - You snap out of it!
3024 - You snap out of it!
3026 - You snap out of it!
3027 - You snap out of it!
3029 - You snap out of it!
3030 - You snap out of it!
3033 - Why? Come on, it's my turn.
3035 How is the plane flying?
3041 Benson, got any flowers
3042 for a happy occasion in there?
3046 They do get behind a fellow.
3051 All right, let's drop this tin can
3054 Where? I can't see anything. Can you?
3056 No, nothing. It's all cloudy.
3058 Come on. You got to think bee, Barry.
3064 Thinking bee! Thinking bee!
3067 I think I'm feeling something.
3070 - I don't know. It's strong, pulling me.
3072 Like a 27-million-year-old instinct.
3074 Bring the nose down.
3077 Thinking bee! Thinking bee!
3079 - What in the world is on the tarmac?
3080 - Get some lights on that!
3083 Thinking bee! Thinking bee!
3085 - Vanessa, aim for the flower.
3088 Cut the engines. We're going in
3089 on bee power. Ready, boys?
3093 Good. Good. Easy, now. That's it.
3095 Land on that flower!
3097 Ready? Full reverse!
3101 - Not that flower! The other one!
3105 - I'm aiming at the flower!
3107 That's a fat guy in a flowered shirt.
3108 I mean the giant pulsating flower
3110 made of millions of bees!
3112 Pull forward. Nose down. Tail up.
3116 - This is insane, Barry!
3117 - This's the only way I know how to fly.
3119 Am I koo-koo-kachoo, or is this plane
3120 flying in an insect-like pattern?
3122 Get your nose in there. Don't be afraid.
3123 Smell it. Full reverse!
3125 Just drop it. Be a part of it.
3129 Now drop it in! Drop it in, woman!
3134 You taught me how to fly!
3136 - Yes. No high-five!
3140 Did you see the giant flower?
3142 What giant flower? Where? Of course
3143 I saw the flower! That was genius!
3146 - But we're not done yet.
3150 This runway is covered
3151 with the last pollen
3153 from the last flowers
3154 available anywhere on Earth.
3156 That means this is our last chance.
3158 We're the only ones who make honey,
3159 pollinate flowers and dress like this.
3161 If we're gonna survive as a species,
3162 this is our moment! What do you say?
3164 Are we going to be bees, orjust
3165 Museum of Natural History keychains?
3171 Then follow me! Except Keychain.
3173 Hold on, Barry. Here.
3179 I'm a Pollen Jock! And it's a perfect
3180 fit. All I gotta do are the sleeves.
3186 Mom! The bees are back!
3189 to make a call, now's the time.
3191 I got a feeling we'll be
3192 working late tonight!
3194 Here's your change. Have a great
3195 afternoon! Can I help who's next?
3197 Would you like some honey with that?
3198 It is bee-approved. Don't forget these.
3200 Milk, cream, cheese, it's all me.
3201 And I don't see a nickel!
3203 Sometimes I just feel
3204 like a piece of meat!
3209 Have you got a moment?
3211 Would you excuse me?
3212 My mosquito associate will help you.
3218 I was already a blood-sucking parasite.
3219 All I needed was a briefcase.
3221 Have a great afternoon!
3223 Barry, I just got this huge tulip order,
3224 and I can't get them anywhere.
3227 Just leave it to me.
3229 You're a lifesaver, Barry.
3230 Can I help who's next?
3232 All right, scramble, jocks!
3237 That bee is living my life!
3241 - When will this nightmare end?!
3244 - Beautiful day to fly.
3248 I was dying to get out of that office.
3251 to start thinking bee, my friend.
3256 Hold it. Let's just stop
3257 for a second. Hold it.
3259 I'm sorry. I'm sorry, everyone.
3262 I'm not making a major life decision
3263 during a production number!
3265 All right. Take ten, everybody.
3268 I had virtually no rehearsal for that.
