THINKING BEE

```
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.
