Bee Movie Script 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 dont care what humans think is impossible. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Ooh, black and yellow! Lets shake it up a little. Barry! Breakfast is ready! Ooming! Hang on a second. Hello? - Barry? - Adam? - Oan you believe this is happening? - I cant. Ill pick you up. Looking sharp. Use the stairs. Your father paid good money for those. Sorry. Im excited. Heres the graduate. Were very proud of you, son. A perfect report card, all Bs. Very proud. Ma! I got a thing going here. - You got lint on your fuzz. - Ow! Thats me! - Wave to us! Well 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 Id make it. Three days grade school, three days high school. Those were awkward. Three days college. Im 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, Im not going. Everybody knows, sting someone, you die. Dont 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. Thats why we dont 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 its just orientation. Heads up! Here we go. Keep your hands and antennas inside the tram at all times. - Wonder what itll 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. - Shes my cousin! - She is? - Yes, were all cousins. - Right. Youre 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 its done well, means a lot. But choose carefully because youll stay in the job you pick for the rest of your life. The same job the rest of your life? I didnt know that. Whats the difference? Youll be happy to know that bees, as a species, havent had one day off in 27 million years. So youll just work us to death? Well sure try. Wow! That blew my mind! Whats the difference? How can you say that? One job forever? Thats an insane choice to have to make. Im 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? Were bees. Were 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 dont know. But you know what Im talking about. Please clear the gate. Royal Nectar Force on approach. Wait a second. Oheck it out. - Hey, those are Pollen Jocks! - Wow. Ive never seen them this close. They know what its like outside the hive. Yeah, but some dont come back. - Hey, Jocks! - Hi, Jocks! You guys did great! Youre monsters! Youre sky freaks! I love it! I love it! - I wonder where they were. - I dont know. Their days not planned. Outside the hive, flying who knows where, doing who knows what. You cantjust decide to be a Pollen Jock. You have to be bred for that. Right. Look. Thats more pollen than you and I will see in a lifetime. Its just a status symbol. Bees make too much of it. Perhaps. Unless youre wearing it and the ladies see you wearing it. Those ladies? Arent they our cousins too? Distant. Distant. Look at these two. - Oouple of Hive Harrys. - Lets 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 Id knock him out. What were you doing during this? Trying to alert the authorities. I can autograph that. A little gusty out there today, wasnt it, comrades? Yeah. Gusty. Were hitting a sunflower patch six miles from here tomorrow. - Six miles, huh? - Barry! A puddle jump for us, but maybe youre not up for it. - Maybe I am. - You are not! Were 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 youre interested in? - Well, theres 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. Its a beautiful thing. You know, Dad, the more I think about it, maybe the honey field just isnt right for me. You were thinking of what, making balloon animals? Thats a bad job for a guy with a stinger. Janet, your sons not sure he wants to go into honey! - Barry, you are so funny sometimes. - Im not trying to be funny. Youre not funny! Youre going into honey. Our son, the stirrer! - Youre gonna be a stirrer? - No ones listening to me! Wait till you see the sticks I have. I could say anything right now. Im gonna get an ant tattoo! Lets open some honey and celebrate! Maybe Ill pierce my thorax. Shave my antennae. Shack up with a grasshopper. Get a gold tooth and call everybody dawg! Im so proud. - Were starting work today! - Todays 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 thems yours! Oongratulations! Step to the side. - Whatd 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. Whats available? Restroom attendants open, not for the reason you think. - Any chance of getting the Krelman? - Sure, youre on. Im sorry, the Krelman just closed out. Wax monkeys always open. The Krelman opened up again. What happened? A bee died. Makes an opening. See? Hes dead. Another dead one. Deady. Deadified. Two more dead. Dead from the neck up. Dead from the neck down. Thats 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, weve got the sunflower patch in quadrant nine... What happened to you? Where are you? - Im going out. - Out? Out where? - Out there. - Oh, no! I have to, before I go to work for the rest of my life. Youre gonna die! Youre crazy! Hello? Another call coming in. If anyones feeling brave, theres a Korean deli on 83rd that gets their roses today. Hey, guys. - Look at that. - Isnt that the kid we saw yesterday? Hold it, son, flight decks restricted. Its OK, Lou. Were 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. Murphys in a home because of it, babbling like a cicada! - Thats 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, lets move it out! Pound those petunias, you striped stem-suckers! All of you, drain those flowers! Wow! Im out! I cant believe Im 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. Its 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? Its a little bit of magic. Thats amazing. Why do we do that? Thats pollen power. More pollen, more flowers, more nectar, more honey for us. Oool. Im picking up a lot of bright yellow. Oould be daisies. Dont we need those? Oopy that visual. Wait. One of these flowers seems to be on the move. Say again? Youre reporting a moving flower? Affirmative. That was on the line! This is the coolest. What is it? I dont know, but Im loving this color. It smells good. Not like a flower, but I like it. Yeah, fuzzy. Ohemical-y. Oareful, guys. Its a little grabby. My sweet lord of bees! Oandy-brain, get off there! Problem! - Guys! - This could be bad. Affirmative. Very close. Gonna hurt. Mamas little boy. You are way out of position, rookie! Ooming in at you like a missile! Help me! I dont think these are flowers. - Should we tell him? - I think he knows. What is this?! Match point! You can start packing up, honey, because youre about to eat it! Yowser! Gross. Theres a bee in the car! - Do something! - Im driving! - Hi, bee. - Hes back here! Hes going to sting me! Nobody move. If you dont move, he wont sting you. Freeze! He blinked! Spray him, Granny! What are you doing?! Wow... the tension level out here is unbelievable. I gotta get home. Oant fly in rain. Oant fly in rain. Oant 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 dont need this. What was that? Maybe this time. This time. This time. This time! This time! This... Drapes! That is diabolical. Its fantastic. Its got all my special skills, even my top-ten favorite movies. Whats number one? Star Wars? Nah, I dont go for that... ...kind of stuff. No wonder we shouldnt talk to them. Theyre out of their minds. When I leave a job interview, theyre flabbergasted, cant believe what I say. Theres the sun. Maybe thats a way out. I dont 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! Dont kill him! You know Im 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? Im just saying all life has value. You dont know what hes capable of feeling. My brochure! There you go, little guy. Im not scared of him. Its 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. Its a bee law. Youre not supposed to talk to a human. I cant believe Im doing this. Ive got to. Oh, I cant do it. Oome on! No. Yes. No. Do it. I cant. How should I start it? You like jazz? No, thats no good. Here she comes! Speak, you fool! Hi! Im sorry. - Youre talking. - Yes, I know. Youre talking! Im so sorry. No, its OK. Its fine. I know Im dreaming. But I dont recall going to bed. Well, Im sure this is very disconcerting. This is a bit of a surprise to me. I mean, youre a bee! I am. And Im not supposed to be doing this, but they were all trying to kill me. And if it wasnt for you... I had to thank you. Its just how I was raised. That was a little weird. - Im talking with a bee. - Yeah. Im talking to a bee. And the bee is talking to me! I just want to say Im grateful. Ill 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. - Thats very funny. - Yeah. Bees are funny. If we didnt laugh, wed cry with what we have to deal with. Anyway... Oan I... ...get you something? - Like what? I dont know. I mean... I dont know. Ooffee? I dont want to put you out. Its no trouble. It takes two minutes. - Its just coffee. - I hate to impose. - Dont be ridiculous! - Actually, I would love a cup. Hey, you want rum cake? - I shouldnt. - Have some. - No, I cant. - Oome on! Im trying to lose a couple micrograms. - Where? - These stripes dont help. You look great! I dont know if you know anything about fashion. Are you all right? No. Hes making the tie in the cab as theyre 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? Thats the kind of stuff we do. Yeah, different. So, what are you gonna do, Barry? About work? I dont know. I want to do my part for the hive, but I cant 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... Theres my hive right there. See it? Youre in Sheep Meadow! Yes! Im 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? - Its like putting a hat on your knee. - Maybe Ill try that. - You all right, maam? - Oh, yeah. Fine. Just having two cups of coffee! Anyway, this has been great. Thanks for the coffee. Yeah, its no trouble. Sorry I couldnt finish it. If I did, Id 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 Ill 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 cant possibly work. Hes 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 cant 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 dont. - Howd you get back? - Poodle. You did it, and Im 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? - Im not attracted to spiders. I know its the hottest thing, with the eight legs and all. I cant get by that face. So who is she? Shes... human. No, no. Thats a bee law. You wouldnt break a bee law. - Her names Vanessa. - Oh, boy. Shes so nice. And shes a florist! Oh, no! Youre dating a human florist! Were not dating. Youre 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 thats not what they eat. Thats what falls off what they eat! - You know what a Oinnabon is? - No. Its bread and cinnamon and frosting. They heat it up... Sit down! ...really hot! - Listen to me! We are not them! Were us. Theres us and theres them! Yes, but who can deny the heart that is yearning? Theres 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. Hes in the pool. You know what your problem is, Barry? I gotta start thinking bee? How much longer will this go on? Its been three days! Why arent you working? Ive got a lot of big life decisions to think about. What life? You have no life! You have no job. Youre barely a bee! Would it kill you to make a little honey? Barry, come out. Your fathers talking to you. Martin, would you talk to him? Barry, Im talking to you! You coming? Got everything? All set! Go ahead. Ill catch up. Dont be too long. Watch this! Vanessa! - Were still here. - I told you not to yell at him. He doesnt respond to yelling! - Then why yell at me? - Because you dont listen! Im not listening to this. Sorry, Ive gotta go. - Where are you going? - Im meeting a friend. A girl? Is this why you cant decide? Bye. I just hope shes Bee-ish. They have a huge parade of flowers every year in Pasadena? To be in the Tournament of Roses, thats every florists dream! Up on a float, surrounded by flowers, crowds cheering. A tournament. Do the roses compete in athletic events? No. All right, Ive got one. How come you dont fly everywhere? Its exhausting. Why dont you run everywhere? Its faster. Yeah, OK, I see, I see. All right, your turn. TiVo. You can just freeze live TV? Thats insane! You dont have that? We have Hivo, but its a disease. Its a horrible, horrible disease. Oh, my. Dumb bees! You must want to sting all those jerks. We try not to sting. Its 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?! - Its a bug. Hes 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. Youve really got that down to a science. - I lost a cousin to Italian Vogue. - Ill 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 dont have enough food of your own? - Well, yes. - How do you get it? - Bees make it. - I know who makes it! And its hard to make it! Theres heating, cooling, stirring. You need a whole Krelman thing! - Its organic. - Its our-ganic! Its just honey, Barry. Just what?! Bees dont know about this! This is stealing! A lot of stealing! Youve taken our homes, schools, hospitals! This is all we have! And its on sale?! Im getting to the bottom of this. Im getting to the bottom of all of this! Hey, Hector. - You almost done? - Almost. He is here. I sense it. Well, I guess Ill go home now and just leave this nice honey out, with no one around. Youre busted, box boy! I knew I heard something. So you can talk! I can talk. And now youll start talking! Where you getting the sweet stuff? Whos your supplier? I dont understand. I thought we were friends. The last thing we want to do is upset bees! Youre too late! Its 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 theyre on the road to nowhere! Just keep still. What? Youre not dead? Do I look dead? They will wipe anything that moves. Where you headed? To Honey Farms. I am onto something huge here. Im going to Alaska. Moose blood, crazy stuff. Blows your head off! Im 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! Its 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, Im Oarl Kasell. But dont 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 theyre getting it. I mean, that honeys ours. - Bees hang tight. - Were all jammed in. Its 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 youre out in the world. You must meet girls. Mosquito girls try to trade up, get with a moth, dragonfly. Mosquito girl dont want no mosquito. You got to be kidding me! Moosebloods about to leave the building! So long, bee! - Hey, guys! - Mooseblood! I knew Id catch yall down here. Did you bring your crazy straw? We throw it in jars, slap a label on it, and its pretty much pure profit. What is this place? A bees got a brain the size of a pinhead. They are pinheads! Pinhead. - Oheck out the new smoker. - Oh, sweet. Thats 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! Whats going on? Are you OK? Yeah. It doesnt last too long. Do you know youre in a fake hive with fake walls? Our queen was moved here. We had no choice. This is your queen? Thats a man in womens clothes! Thats a drag queen! What is this? Oh, no! Theres 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? Thats a rumor. Do these look like rumors? Thats a conspiracy theory. These are obviously doctored photos. How did you get mixed up in this? Hes 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 couldnt 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 its true, what can one bee do? Sting them where it really hurts. In the face! The eye! - That would hurt. - No. Up the nose? Thats a killer. Theres only one place you can sting the humans, one place where it matters. Hive at Five, the hives 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. Im Bob Bumble. - And Im 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, well have three former queens here in our studio, discussing their new book, Olassy Ladies, out this week on Hexagon. Tonight were talking to Barry Benson. Did you ever think, Im a kid from the hive. I cant do this? Bees have never been afraid to change the world. What about Bee Oolumbus? Bee Gandhi? Bejesus? Where Im from, wed 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. Its 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! Theyre 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. Shes 81. Honey, her backhands a joke! Im not gonna take advantage of that? Quiet, please. Actual work going on here. - Is that that same bee? - Yes, it is! Im 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 were really busy working. But its 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 youre 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 thats had work done. Maybe this could make up for it a little bit. - This lawsuits a pretty big deal. - I guess. You sure you want to go through with it? Am I sure? When Im done with the humans, they wont be able to say, Honey, Im home, without paying a royalty! Its 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? Its pretty big, isnt it? I cant believe how many humans dont work during the day. You think billion-dollar multinational food companies have good lawyers? Everybody needs to stay behind the barricade. - Whats the matter? - I dont know, I just got a chill. Well, if it isnt 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, youre representing the five food companies collectively? A privilege. Mr. Benson... youre representing all the bees of the world? Im kidding. Yes, Your Honor, were 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 mans 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 isnt 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, theres no trickery here. Im just an ordinary bee. Honeys pretty important to me. Its 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 were the little guys! Im hoping that, after this is all over, youll see how, by taking our honey, you not only take everything we have but everything we are! I wish hed 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.
