SUCKS TO BE YOU

[GreyICE]

SK is a meaniebutt. Discuss.

No tell me who you investigated and what happened.

[GuyInFreezer]

I investigated Fate. He was not with Russians.
Unfortunately, we all know that already.

[Nahdia]

n ooooooooooooooooooo

[Cheetory6]

Why Fate?

[GreyICE]

Huh. So raises the small chance one of the scumkills was roleblocked.

[Cheetory6]

Mafia doesn't have a nightkill yet.

[GuyInFreezer]

Diceroll

Felt like if he was scum catching him would hurt scum quite a lot, and if he was town confirmed Fate could be q scary to scum.

[Cheetory6]

You actually got the result though?

[GuyInFreezer]

well excuse me "Not Russian"
But hey what's the chance of scanning SK in this huge playerlist

[GuyInFreezer]

Yeah I actually got the result.
Good news huh

[GreyICE]

SK is a meaniebutt. Discuss.

Why SK?

[GuyInFreezer]

SK is a meaniebutt. Discuss.

Why SK?

Because he killed my target?

SAD and Nukebringer are both solid choices based on the flips. I think SAD put himself out moreso than anyone else to defend SS (though if someone disputes this, feel free to argue with me). He was pushing Vax extremely hard until that wagon collapsed, and immediately thereafter he started after UT with what I found to be very weak, very desperate rationale. As was said at the end of yesterday, UT deserves a lot of circumstantial town credit. Of course, there's also the fact that SAD essentially begged any counters to SS to remain quiet. Whether or not that was reasonable is necessarily called into question with SS' flip, for better or for worse.

VOTE: Ser Arthur Dayne

I've got to drive out to the Louisiana border this afternoon, but I'll check back in either later tonight or tomorrow. Fate seems like a rather 'safe' kill for the Terrorist as he's certainly one of the more trigger happy players. I'll look over his posts to see if I can gleem anything, but good job on GIF for claiming as I think that was the proper move.

[Vaxkiller]

VOTE: SAD

Also, unrelated Eavesdrops incoming.

[hiplop]

Why Fate?

old guard scum

[Vaxkiller]

Eavesdrops I decided to make 2 lists. One with everything and one with things that COULD be useful (but probably not)

ALL eavesdrops (updated a mistake I made yesterday... the ENORMOUS WALL OF TEXT was actually overheard TWICE, so it is now listed twice, and is equally twice as useless):

please don't piss people off or you'll be nuked until you glow

distances. Third, the nuclear explosion is accompanied by highlypenetrating
and harmful invisible rays, called the "initial nuclear
radiation." Finally, the substances remaining after a nuclear explosion
are radioactive, emitting similar radiations over an extended
period of time. This is known as the "residual nuclear radiation"
or "residual radioactivity" (Fig. 1.02).
1.03 It is because of these fundamental differences between a
nuclear and a conventional explosion, including the tremendously
greater power of the former, that the effects of nuclear weapons
require special consideration. In this connection, a knowledge and
understanding of the mechanical and the various radiation phenomena
associated with a nuclear explosion are of vital importance.
1.04 The purpose of this book is to describe the different forms
in which the enei'gy of a nuclear explosion are released, to explain
how they are propagated, and to show how they may affect men and
materials. Where numerical values are given for specific observed
effects, it should be kept in mind that there are inevitable uncertainties
associated with the data, for at least two reasons. In the first place,
there are inherent difficulties in making exact measurements of
weapons effects. The results are often dependent on circumstances
which are difficult, if not impossible, to control, even in a test and

________________________________________________________________

1.29 Almost immediately after a nuclear explosion, the weapon
residues incorporate material from the surrounding medium and form
an intensely hot and luminous mass, roughly spherical in shape, called
the "fireball." An "air burst" is defined as one in which the weapon
is exploded in the air at an altitude below 100,000 feet, but at such a
height that the fireball (at roughly maximum brilliance in its later
stages) does not touch the surface of the earth. For example, in the
explosion of a 1-megaton weapon the fireball may grow until it is
nearly 5,800 feet (1.1 mile) across at maximum brilliance. This
means that, in this particular case, the explosion must occur at least
2,900 feet above the earth's surface if it is to be called an air burst.
1.30 The quantitative aspects of an air burst will be dependent
upon the actual height of the explosion, as well as upon its energy
yield, but the general phenomena are much the same in all cases.
Nearly all of the shock energy appears as air blast, although some is
generally also transmitted into the ground. The thermal radiation
will travel large distances through the air and will be of sufficient
intensity to cause moderately severe burns of exposed skin as far away
as 12 miles from a 1-megaton explosion, on a fairly clear day. The
warmth may be felt at a distance of 75 miles. For air bursts of higher
energy yields, the corresponding distances will, of course, be greater.
Since the thermal radiation is largely stopped by ordinary opaque
materials, buildings and clothing can provide protection.
1.31 The initial nuclear radiations from an air burst will also penetrate
a long way in air, although the intensity falls off fairly rapidly
at increasing distances from the explosion. The nuclear radiations
are not easily absorbed, and fairly thick layers of materials, preferably
of high density, are needed to reduce their intensity to harmless proportions.
For example, at a distance of 1 mile from the air burst of a
1-megaton nuclear weapon, an individual would probably need the
protection of about 1 foot of steel or 4 feet of concrete to be relatively
safe from the efl'ects of the initial nuclear radiations. However, at
this distance the blast effect would be so great that only specially
designed blast-resistant structures would survive.

____________________________________________________________________

4.01 The phenomena associated with a blast wave in air have
been treated in the preceding chapter. On the basis of the information
developed, consideration will now be given to the interaction
of the air blast with a target and the factors affecting the response
of the target. Criteria of damage to targets of different types will
be discussed and relationships given between the damage and the
distances over which such damage may be expected from nuclear
weapons of various yields. In addition, quantitative methods of
computing structural loads and their duration will be outlined.
4.02 The general conclusions concerning the expected effects of
nuclear explosions on various targets are summarized in the form of
nomographs (Figs. 4.58 a and b). These are based on a combination
of theoretical analysis with data obtained from actual nuclear explosions,
both in Japan and at various tests, as well as from laboratory
studies. However, the nature of any target complex, especially a
city, is such that no exact prediction of the eft'ect of blast on structures
can be made. Nor is it possible to indicate the reliability of the
prediction for any particular situation. Nevertheless, by the application
of proper judgment to the available information, it is believed
that results of practical value can be obtained. The conclusions
given here are considered to be the most representative for the average
situations that might be encountered in actual target complexes.

______________________________________________________________________

4.04 Direct damage to structures attributable to air blast can
take various forms. For example, the blast may deflect structural
steel frames, collapse roofs, dish-in walls, shatter panels, and break
windows. In general, the damage results from some type of displacement
(or distortion) and the manner in which such displacement
can arise as the result of a nuclear explosion will be examined below.
4.06 For an air burst, the direction of propagation of the incident
blast wave will be towards the ground at ground zero. In the regular
reflection region, where the direction of propagation of the blast
wave is not parallel to the horizontal axis of the structure, the forces
exerted upon structures will also have a considerable downward
component (prior to passage of the reflected wave) due to the reflected
pressure build-up on the horizontal surfaces. Consequently,
in addition to the horizontal loading, as in the Mach region (§ 3.24),
there will also be initially an appreciable downward force. This
tends to cause crushing toward the ground, e.g., dished-in roofs,
in addition to distortion due to translational motion.

“Yes.” My answer is short, clipped, squeezed out through my nerves.

I think he smiles, but it’s difficult to tell in the darkness. Christian flicks yet another

switch.

“PDX this is Charlie Tango now at one four thousand, over.” He exchanges informa-
tion with air traffic control. It all sounds very professional to me. I think we’re moving

from Portland’s air space to Seattle International Airport’s.

“Understood Sea-Tac, standing by over and out.”

“Look, over there.” He points to a small pin-point of light in the far distance. “That’s

Seattle.”

“Do you always impress women this way? Come and fly in my helicopter?” I ask,

genuinely interested.

“I’ve never bought a girl up here, Anastasia. It’s another first for me.” His voice is

quiet, serious.

Oh, that was an unexpected answer. Another first? Oh the sleeping thing, perhaps?

“Are you impressed?”

“I’m awed, Christian.”

He smiles.

“Awed?” And for a brief moment, he’s his age again.

I nod.

“You’re just so... competent.”

“Why, thank you, Miss Steele,” he says politely. I think he’s pleased, but I’m not sure.

We ride into the dark night in silence for a while. The bright spot that is Seattle is

slowly getting bigger.

“Sea-Tac tower to Charlie Tango. Flight plan to Escala in place. Please proceed. And

standby. Over.”

“This is Charlie Tango, understood Sea-Tac. Standing by, over and out.”

______________________________________________________

“Christian, afraid? I can’t imagine him being frightened of anything.” But as I say the

words, I imagine him as a small child. Maybe fear was all he knew then. Sorrow grips and

squeezes my heart at the thought.

Kate gazes at me with pursed lips and narrowed eyes, rather like my subconscious – all

she needs is the half-moon specs.

“You two need to sit down and talk to each other.”

“We haven’t been doing much talking lately.” I flush. Other stuff. Non-verbal com-
munication and that’s okay. Well, much more than okay.

She grins.

“That’ll be the sexing! If that’s going well, then that’s half the battle Ana. I’ll grab

some Chinese take-out. Are you ready to go?”

“I will be – we don’t have to leave for a couple of hours or so.”

“No – I’ll see you in twenty.” She grabs her jacket and leaves, forgetting to close the

door. I shut it behind her and head off to my bedroom mulling over her words.

Is Christian afraid of his feelings for me? Does he even have feelings for me? He

seems very keen, says I’m his – but that’s just part of his I-must-own-and-have-everything-
now – control-freak dominant self, surely. I realize that while I’m away, I will have to run

through all our conversations again and see if I can pick out telltale signs.

I’ll miss you too... more than you know...

You’ve completely beguiled me...

I shake my head. I don’t want to think about it now. I am charging the BlackBerry,

so I haven’t had it with me all afternoon. I approach it with caution, and I’m disappointed

that there are no messages. I switch on the mean machine, and there are no messages there

either. Same email address Ana – my subconscious rolls her eyes at me, and for the first

time, I understand why Christian wants to spank me when I do that.

Okay. Well, I’ll write him an email.

_________________________________________________________


I fall onto my bed, shoes and all, and howl. The pain is indescribable... physical,

mental... metaphysical... it is everywhere, seeping into the marrow of my bones. Grief.

This is grief – and I’ve brought it on myself. Deep down, a nasty, unbidden thought comes

from my inner goddess, her lip curled in a snarl... the physical pain from the bite of a belt

is nothing, nothing compared to this devastation. I curl up, desperately clutching the flat

foil balloon and Taylor’s handkerchief, and surrender myself to my grief.

End of Part One

Chapter 27. vampirz wil never hurt u

Every1 in the room stated to cry happly- I had saved them. Drako, Lucian, Serious bond Vampire all came to hug me. The nurse started to give them medicine.

“Cum on Enoby.” said Proffesor Sinatra. She was wearing a gothic blak leader dress with a corset top and real vampir blood on it and fuking black platinum boots. “I have to tell you the fucking perdition.”

I locked at Lucian, Serifs, Drake and Vampire. They nodded.

I smelled happily and went into a dark room. I had changed Profesor Sinister took out some black cards. She started to look into a black crucible ball. She said……………………… “Tara, I see drak times are near.” She said badly. She peered into da balls. “You see, you must go back in time.” She took out a Time-Toner like B’loody Mary had. “When Voldemint was in Hogwarts before he became powerful he gut his hearth borken. Now do you fink he would still become Volxemort if he was in love?” I shook my head. “U must go back in time and sedouce him. It is the only way. If he is still evil then you must kill him. You can come to my room tomorrow and you can do it.”

“Okay.” I said sadly. We did dethz tuch sin. I went outside again sadly.

“What fucking happened?” asked Draco and Vampire.

“Yeah what happened?” asked Darkness, Willow and Boldy Mary?

I was about to tell them butt every1 was there. They were celebrating Lucian and Sirius being fond. Everyone was proud of me butt I jut wonted 2 talk 2 Draco. They were cheesing my name and some reporters were there, trying to interview Dumblydore. A banner was put up. Lotz of fucking prepz were there oviously tring 2 be b goffik wering the HIM sign on their handz- depite them not having akshelly heard of him. Even Mr. Noris looked happy. A blak and red cake had been brought out. Crabbe and Goyke set up some fireworx in the shape of skulls from Wesley’s Whizard Wises.

I put on my Invisibility coke with Vampire and Draco and we sneaked outside 2gether.

3. Abolition of Parliamentarism
"The Commune," Marx wrote, "was to be a working, not a parliamentary, body, executive and legislative
at the same time....
"Instead of deciding once in three or six years which member of the ruling class was to
represent and repress [ver­ and zertreten] the people in parliament, universal suffrage was to
serve the people constituted in communes, as individual suffrage serves every other employer
in the search for workers, foremen and accountants for his business."
Owing to the prevalence of social­chauvinism and opportunism, this remarkable criticism of
parliamentarism, made in 1871, also belongs now to the "forgotten words" of Marxism. The professional
Cabinet Ministers and parliamentarians, the traitors to the proletariat and the “practical” socialists of our
day, have left all criticism of parliamentarism to the anarchists, and, on this wonderfully reasonable ground,
they denounce all criticism of parliamentarism as “anarchism”!! It is not surprising that the proletariat of the
“advanced” parliamentary countries, disgusted with such “socialists” as the Scheidemanns, Davids,
Legiens, Sembats, Renaudels, Hendersons, Vanderveldes, Staunings, Brantings, Bissolatis, and Co., has
been with increasing frequency giving its sympathies to anarcho­syndicalism, in spite of the fact that the
latter is merely the twin brother of opportunism.
For Marx, however, revolutionary dialectics was never the empty fashionable phrase, the toy rattle, which
Plekhanov, Kautsky and others have made of it. Marx knew how to break with anarchism ruthlessly for its
inability to make use even of the “pigsty” of bourgeois parliamentarism, especially when the situation was
obviously not revolutionary; but at the same time he knew how to subject parliamentarism to genuinely
revolutionary proletarian criticism.
To decide once every few years which members of the ruling class is to repress and crush the people
through parliament­­this is the real essence of bourgeois parliamentarism, not only in parliamentaryconstitutional
monarchies, but also in the most democratic republics.
But if we deal with the question of the state, and if we consider parliamentarism as one of the institutions of
the state, from the point of view of the tasks of the proletariat in this field, what is the way out of
parliamentarism? How can it be dispensed with?
Once again, we must say: the lessons of Marx, based on the study of the Commune, have been so
completely forgotten that the present­day "Social­Democrat" (i.e., present­day traitor to socialism) really
cannot understand any criticism of parliamentarism other than anarchist or reactionary criticism.

Addition. — Since wealth depends upon application, equality in the
distribution of goods would, if introduced, soon be disturbed again. What
does not permit of being carried out, ought not to be attempted. Men are
equal, it is true, but only as persons, that is, only with reference to the
source of possession. Accordingly every one must have property. This
is the only kind of equality which it is possible to consider. Beyond this
is found the region of particular persons, and the question for the first
time comes up, How much do I possess? Here the assertion that the
property of every man ought in justice to be equal to that of every other
is false, since justice demands merely that every one should have property.
Indeed, amongst persons variously endowed inequality must occur,
and equality would be wrong. It is quite true that men often desire
the goods of others; but this desire is wrong, for right is unconcerned
about differences in individuals.
50. It is a self-evident and, indeed, almost superfluous remark that
an object belongs to him who is accidentally first in possession of it. A
second person cannot take into possession what is already the property
of another.
Addition.—So far we have been chiefly concerned with the proposition
that personality must find an embodiment in property. From what
has been said, it follows that he who is first in possession is likewise
owner. He is rightful owner, not because he is first, but because he is a
free will. He is not first till some one comes after him

I like to keep my bandsaw blades on the wall next to my saw.
To save space, I fold them into coils. The trouble comes when
I hang the coiled blade on a peg or nail. I’ve had the blades
suddenly come uncoiled and spring off the wall! That’s unpleasant
and potentially dangerous. I tried using twist ties, but they wore
out quickly and it was a pain having to tie up and untie the blade
every time I used it.
I came up with this handy hanger made with a 2x4 and some
very small spring clamps. I notched the edge of the 2x4 with a
dado blade and screwed a spring clamp into each notch. Now
when I go to change blades, all I have to do is squeeze the spring
clamp to release the blade.

____________________________________________________

Can a 2x4
Dull a Blade?
After resawing some pine 2x4s, my bandsaw blade smoked
and seemed mighty dull. How can that be?
Chances are your blade wasn’t dull at all. It’s teeth were probably
coated with pine pitch, which you should remove with blade
cleaner. Other woods, such as cherry, also deposit pitch on
bandsaw blades.
Like any sawblade, a bandsaw blade’s teeth won’t cut properly
if they’re caked with pitch. Pitch fills in the clearances necessary
for the blade to cut with a minimum of friction. This makes the
blade run hotter, which creates even more buildup. Blade cleaner
removes all traces of pitch, making your blade feel much sharper.
You should remove the blade for cleaning to avoid potentially
damaging your wheel’s tires.

Hold on, Barry. Here.
You’ve earned this.
Yeah!
I’m a Pollen Jock! And it’s a perfect?fit. All I gotta do are the sleeves.
Oh, yeah.
That’s our Barry.
Mom! The bees are back!
If anybody needs?to make a call, now’s the time.
I got a feeling we’ll be?working late tonight!
Here’s your change. Have a great?afternoon! Oan I help who’s next?
Would you like some honey with that??It is bee-approved. Don’t forget these.
Milk, cream, cheese, it’s all me.?And I don’t see a nickel!
Sometimes I just feel?like a piece of meat!
I had no idea.
Barry, I’m sorry.?Have you got a moment?
Would you excuse me??My mosquito associate will help you.
Sorry I’m late.
He’s a lawyer too?
I was already a blood-sucking parasite.?All I needed was a briefcase.
Have a great afternoon!
Barry, I just got this huge tulip order,?and I can’t get them anywhere.
No problem, Vannie.?Just leave it to me.
You’re a lifesaver, Barry.?Oan I help who’s next?
All right, scramble, jocks!?It’s time to fly.
Thank you, Barry!
That bee is living my life!
Let it go, Kenny.
- When will this nightmare end?!?- Let it all go.
- Beautiful day to fly.?- Sure is.
Between you and me,?I was dying to get out of that office.
You have got?to start thinking bee, my friend.

I’m sorry. I’m sorry, everyone.?Oan we stop here?
I’m not making a major life decision?during a production number!
All right. Take ten, everybody.?Wrap it up, guys.
I had virtually no rehearsal for that.

I lived in a house from hell for four years, from age eleven to almost sixteen. There was constantly something happening. Doors flying open and shut, voices, footsteps. Nothing ever stayed where you put it. I was alone there a lot because both my parents worked and I was constantly terrified.

One of the most gut-level disturbing things though was the little girl in my bathroom. Every time I walked past my bathroom door (which was constantly since it was right outside my bedroom) I saw a little girl with blond curled hair and a rose-colored dress. She just stood there, staring, looking like a photograph from 1905. I started keeping the door closed so I could walk by without seeing her, but she was always there when I opened it. Once I stepped in past her, I couldn't see her anymore but I could feel her there. She scared me, but I felt really sorry for her because she was trapped there, just like me, but probably forever.

As the years went by and things in the house continued to get worse, she started seeming... darker. I started feeling like she wasn't really a little girl. I knew there was something ugly in the house and I felt like it was presenting this sympathetic image to me. Then I started thinking I was completely losing my mind.

One day, when I was 14, I had a friend from out of town come stay with me for a week. I hadn't told her anything whatsoever about the house because I didn't think she would come if I did. Right after she got there we were sitting in my room and she left to go to the bathroom. About a minute later she walked back in with a puzzled look on her face and said "So, there's a little girl in your bathroom". "Um, I, yeah she hangs out in there. Blond hair?" "Curls? Pink dress? Yeah. You know that's not really a little girl, don't you?" I almost threw up. I was so relieved and terrified and excited and ready to run out of the house screaming. She wouldn't use my bathroom the rest of the week and I started using it as little as possible without pissing off my parents (who did not want to believe).

Eventually we moved out and I could not have been happier. I distanced myself from it mentally as much as I could. Then, when I was 18, I took another friend on a road trip to pack up a few things I'd left in the house (my parents hadn't managed to sell it, and wouldn't for 5 more years). The minute we got on the property, my friend seemed uncomfortable. When we came around the bend in the long, steep driveway, he went completely white. I could tell something was wrong, but he insisted he was OK, so we got to work. After a while he asked to use the bathroom and I directed him to mine. Not 20 seconds after he left, he came running back in, gasping for breath, andand slammed the bedroom door behind him. He started babbling about a little blond girl who isn't really a little girl. All of a sudden he went dead still, looked me in the eye, and very solemnly said "She's not happy. With you. You left, and you weren't supposed to". We threw whatever we could grab in two trips in my car (after I walked him to another bathroom and waited outside the door) and got the fuck out at top speed.

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

______________________________________


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

VOTE: SAD

[Cephrir]

SAD essentially begged any counters to SS to remain quiet. Whether or not that was reasonable is necessarily called into question with SS' flip, for better or for worse.

Is this necessarily pro-scum? I can see both sides, I guess, especially seeing as there doesn't appear to be a scum roleblocker (though I suppose Smalltown could throw a wrench in that theory)

[Cheetory6]

SAD in S_S's ISO is pretty bad:

I also support the addition of Sir Arthur Danish and Reck.

I like Cheet and Reck and Nahdia and mastin and Accountant
I kinda like Spiff but not as sure on that one

not gonna touch this LLD-Sir Arthur Danish conflict, yet anyway

Kinda don't like McMenno and MoI
Really don't like Nukebringer and Ircher and Vaxkiller

Sir Danish is pretty obv town.

:/

[Cephrir]

Mm. That's not great. It could just show S_S being shitty scum who forgot his own reads.

I'm probably going to look back a little myself before I go voting anywhere.
