AZER isn't so great? Are you kidding me? When was the last time you saw a player with such aim ability and movement with a tablet? Alex puts the game in another level, and we will be blessed if we ever see a player with his skill and passion for the game again. Cookiezi breaks records. Rafis breaks records. Azer breaks the rules. You can keep your statistics. I prefer the magic.

A short text:

The cherubim the kingdom of salvation cannot take home, so swerved was the gallantry of honour.
Twas brilliant, of which virtue has a seeker in his hands;
Blown by the winds of the all-seeing eye of Him, painted by colour
And of that rain with its drops touched, after the clouds breathe in strands.

note to self. consider other avenues of work outside of my art/animation/gamedev/music passions.

wowee

... guys i made helltaker pancackes, and im conflicted on whether or not i should post the results or not.

It took me 2 hours to catch up to stuff on forums ;-;

i wonder if there's like a day where a GMT can chill and relax for a bit

Done mapping Q, now it's time to hitsound.

*dies*

*sneeze*

mapping has been a fun endeavor lately. tried to map my own Aspire-esque entry.

mapping is indeed fun, but very time-consuming sometimes.

I think I gotta sleep. Night!

Good night.

tired

studying

We live busy everyday
I can’t walk anymore
I have no reason to live
My life seems unreal

Everyone grows up someday
But I cannot bear living
This isn’t what I expected
To learn from one’s sorrow

My life seems unreal

osu!

Rhythm is just a click away. The future of osu! and the beginning of an open era! Commonly known by the codename osu!lazer. Pew pew.
Status

This project is under heavy development, but is in a stable state. Users are encouraged to try it out and keep it installed alongside the stable osu! client. It will continue to evolve to the point of eventually replacing the existing stable client as an update.

IMPORTANT: Gameplay mechanics (and other features which you may have come to know and love) are in a constant state of flux. Game balance and final quality-of-life passses come at the end of development, preceeded by experimentation and changes which may potentially reduce playability or usability. This is done in order to allow us to move forward as developers and designers more efficiently. If this offends you, please consider sticking to the stable releases of osu! (found on the website). We are not yet open to heated discussion over game mechanics and will not be using github as a forum for such discussions just yet.

We are accepting bug reports (please report with as much detail as possible and follow the existing issue templates). Feature requests are also welcome, but understand that our focus is on completing the game to feature parity before adding new features. A few resources are available as starting points to getting involved and understanding the project:

Detailed release changelogs are available on the official osu! site.
You can learn more about our approach to project management.
Read peppy's latest blog post exploring where lazer is currently and the roadmap going forward.

Running osu!

If you are looking to install or test osu! without setting up a development environment, you can consume our binary releases. Handy links below will download the latest version for your operating system of choice:

Latest build:
Windows (x64) macOS 10.12+ Linux (x64) iOS(iOS 10+) Android (5+)

When running on Windows 7 or 8.1, additional prerequisites may be required to correctly run .NET Core applications if your operating system is not up-to-date with the latest service packs.

If your platform is not listed above, there is still a chance you can manually build it by following the instructions below.
Developing or debugging

Please make sure you have the following prerequisites:

A desktop platform with the .NET Core 3.1 SDK or higher installed.
When developing with mobile, Xamarin is required, which is shipped together with Visual Studio or Visual Studio for Mac.
When working with the codebase, we recommend using an IDE with intelligent code completion and syntax highlighting, such as Visual Studio 2019+, JetBrains Rider or Visual Studio Code.
When running on Linux, please have a system-wide FFmpeg installation available to support video decoding.

Downloading the source code

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/ppy/osu
cd osu

To update the source code to the latest commit, run the following command inside the osu directory:

git pull

Building

Build configurations for the recommended IDEs (listed above) are included. You should use the provided Build/Run functionality of your IDE to get things going. When testing or building new components, it's highly encouraged you use the VisualTests project/configuration. More information on this is provided below.

Visual Studio / Rider users should load the project via one of the platform-specific .slnf files, rather than the main .sln. This will allow access to template run configurations.
Visual Studio Code users must run the Restore task before any build attempt.

You can also build and run osu! from the command-line with a single command:

dotnet run --project osu.Desktop

If you are not interested in debugging osu!, you can add -c Release to gain performance. In this case, you must replace Debug with Release in any commands mentioned in this document.

If the build fails, try to restore NuGet packages with dotnet restore.

Due to a historical feature gap between .NET Core and Xamarin, running dotnet CLI from the root directory will not work for most commands. This can be resolved by specifying a target .csproj or the helper project at build/Desktop.proj. Configurations have been provided to work around this issue for all supported IDEs mentioned above.
Testing with resource/framework modifications

Sometimes it may be necessary to cross-test changes in osu-resources or osu-framework. This can be achieved by running some commands as documented on the osu-resources and osu-framework wiki pages.
Code analysis

Before committing your code, please run a code formatter. This can be achieved by running dotnet format in the command line, or using the Format code command in your IDE.

We have adopted some cross-platform, compiler integrated analyzers. They can provide warnings when you are editing, building inside IDE or from command line, as-if they are provided by the compiler itself.

JetBrains ReSharper InspectCode is also used for wider rule sets. You can run it from PowerShell with .\InspectCode.ps1, which is only supported on Windows. Alternatively, you can install ReSharper or use Rider to get inline support in your IDE of choice.
Contributing

When it comes to contributing to the project, the two main things you can do to help out are reporting issues and submitting pull requests. Based on past experiences, we have prepared a list of contributing guidelines that should hopefully ease you into our collaboration process and answer the most frequently-asked questions.

Note that while we already have certain standards in place, nothing is set in stone. If you have an issue with the way code is structured, with any libraries we are using, or with any processes involved with contributing, please bring it up. We welcome all feedback so we can make contributing to this project as painless as possible.

For those interested, we love to reward quality contributions via bounties, paid out via PayPal or osu!supporter tags. Don't hesitate to request a bounty for your work on this project.
Licence

osu!'s code and framework are licensed under the MIT licence. Please see the licence file for more information. tl;dr you can do whatever you want as long as you include the original copyright and license notice in any copy of the software/source.

Please note that this does not cover the usage of the "osu!" or "ppy" branding in any software, resources, advertising or promotion, as this is protected by trademark law.

Pen

Really? I didn't think it was that scary.
The pentagon makes a loud noise, Pen and Eraser scream.
Pen

Help us, Blocky!
Blocky

Okay. (picks up Saw)
Saw

Blocky! Put me down! Help!
Blocky

There, now it is a quadrilateral and a triangle.
Eraser

Phew.
Pen

Wow, I don't ever want to see a pentagon ever again.
Camera pan to Foldy and Tennis Ball.
Foldy

Hey Tennis Ball!
Tennis Ball

Hi, Foldy!
Foldy

What's up?
Tennis Ball

I'm helping Golf Ball find where Leafy is!
Foldy

...But Leafy's right over there.
Tennis Ball

Oh. Thanks, Foldy! Hey Golf Ball, I know where-
Golf Ball

Hold on TB, I'm busy looking for Leafy!
Tennis Ball

But Golf Ball-
Golf Ball

Shush, I have to concentrate! Wait, there's Leafy right now!
Golf Ball runs to Leafy, and runs into Pin, who is carrying blueberry seeds. Pin drops the seeds and they land next to Coiny.
Pin

Oof!
Coiny

Hey Snowball, can you throw something all the way to that pot?
Snowball

Yeah! What should I throw?
Coiny

Uh... (grabs the seeds) How 'bout this?
Snowball throws the seeds, they break a window in Cloudy's pile of stuff.
Cloudy

(Thunder) [thick accent] Hey, my window!
Coiny

Sorry, Cloudy! Okay Firey, you try.
Firey

(Throws the blueberry seeds but the seeds instantly fall to the ground) You try, Taco.
Taco throws the seeds into the pot, Firey and Coiny cheer.
Pin

Hey, have any of you seen my blueberry seeds?
Coiny

Uhhhhhh-
Pin

I hope they're not in a pot. They are extremely fast growing!
Needle

Yeah!
The blueberries suddenly grow, Coiny and Firey start sweating.
Firey

(Sweats) Aah!
Pin

And explosive!
Zoom in on the blueberries, cut back to Pin.
Pin

Oh well. I'll keep looking. Ice Cube, have you seen my blueberry seeds?
Ice Cube

(Shakes her head)
Pin

How about you, Remote?
Remote

I don't have any seeds, but here is a fork.
Yellow Face

(Grabs the fork) Hom.
Remote

My fork.
Yellow Face places the fork in a pile.
Donut

Yeah, exactly. See, Bottle, you understand. (notices the fork pile) Yellow Face, what is thi-
Yellow Face

THEY'RE FORKS!
Donut

Yeah, but why?
Gelatin grabs two of the forks. Zoom out, revealing that Gelatin and Puffball are building a Sierpinski triangle out of forks.
Bottle

That's a very large stack of forks, Gelatin!
Bell

(Rams the stack of forks) WHEEEEE!
Yellow Face

YAAAAAA-!!!!!
A fork flies through the air.
Bubble

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10-
The fork pops Bubble, she gets recovered.
Ruby

Wow, Bubble, it's so cool that you get your very own recovery center!
Bubble

Thoinks! (another fork pops Bubble)
Match

Hey, who, like, keeps popping Bubble? Hmm.
Pencil

Let's find out.
The alliance finds Book watching Cake and Pie playing tic-tac-toe.
Pencil

Book! Help us find a criminal.
Book

No, thanks! I'm good!
Pencil

If you don't, we just might have to expel you from our alliance.
Book

But I'm an alternate, right?
Pencil

Hmph!
Cake

Oh my gosh, I won! Sorry Pie, no hard feelings, right?
Pie

Whatever. You win some, you lose some.
Book

Now that's a good way to look at it!
Pencil

Naily, did you pop Bubble?
Naily

No.
Pencil

Sounds like a lie to me. Liars must be punished! (picks up Naily) Let's punish Naily!
Bomby

Oh my gosh, NAILY!
Loser

STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!! Put her down, Pencil.
Pencil

Oh my gosh LOSER!
TV, Ruby, Bomby, Basketball, Woody, Bubble, Pie and Grassy cheer for Loser. Pie explodes.
Loser

Now, Pencil, apologize to Naily.
Pencil

Sorry, Naily.
Basketball

Loser's such a great guy!
NewGrassy

I agree!
Tree

Loser, say hi to me!
Loser

How're ya doing, Tree?
Tree

Loser, you're my hero.
Liy

Tree!
Tree

What?
Liy

We gotta get Teardrop to talk.
Tree

But why?
Liy

'Cause I see her standing there silent for hours, I wanna know what's going on inside her head.
Teardrop

(in her mind) LOSER
Tree

I don't think it's worth it.
Liy

So here's our plan.
Tree

Did I not just say it wasn't worth it?
Liy

I'll hold Teardrop's jaw open and you'll wiggle her vocal cords, so that they make noise.
Tree

That's it, I'm leafing! (Tree leafs and leaves)
Liy

Aww, Tree doesn't seem too cool. Woah! Ice Cube, you're there, are you cool?
Ice Cube

Uhhh.. Uhmm...
Liy

Ice Cube, it's not that hard of a question. ARE. YOU. COOL?
Ice Cube

Uhhh.. Uh....
Leafy

YEAH LIY, ICE CUBE IS THE COOLEST PERSON THAT I'VE EVER MET, SHE'S SO EPICALLY COOL! JUST LIKE YOU ARE TOO, WE'RE ALL COOL! ISN'T IT SO AWESOME TO BE SO COOL!?!
Liy

Ice Cube, since you're so cool, do you want to help me to get Teardrop to talk?
Ice Cube

Yeah!
Liy holds Teardrop's jaw open and Ice Cube wiggles her vocal cords.
Liy

Keep wiggling Ice Cube, I can almost hear a voice!
Bracelety

YEAH, GO ICE CUBE! YOU CAN DO IT!
Clock

Why are you condoning Ice Cube's brutal abuse of innocent Teardrop?
Fanny

I hate you.
Clock

Yeah, I do too.
Fanny

No, I hate YOU.
Clock

Wha- Why would you hate me? I'm just tryin' to stand up for Teardrop!
Fanny

Because self-improvement only occurs when we acknowledge that our own behaviors are far from perfect, and, dare I say, worthy of hate.
Bracelety

Ice Cube isn't worthy of hate!
Fanny

Yes she is!
Bracelety

Y-you're worthy of hate!
Fanny

Yes, I AM!
Bracelety

Woah! That's really thought provoking. Thank you for opening my eyes.
Fanny

You're welcome.
Clock

Liy and Icy, cease the torment.
Liy

No!
Clock

Ice Cube, it's time to stop abusing Teardrop.
Liy

Ice Cube will only stop when she wants to stop!
Ice Cube

I want to stop. (stops wiggling)
Clock

I'm proud of your decision, Icy.
Liy

I'm not. You said you'd help me. You said you were cool.
Ice Cube

Sorry! (continues wiggling)
Clock

Ice Cube, I am appalled!
Liy

While I, Liy, am pressed. (flips switch) And I'm impressed.
Ice Cube

Uh, um... What do I do?
Simultaneously:
Liy

Clock, you're wrong. Listen to me, Clock. You're not listening! I'm a light switch, I know better than you, and I know that you are wrong.
Clock

I can't believe you would do something like this. It's unbelievable! I need you to stop right now. This is the worst thing I've ever seen coming out of you, Liy. I can't believe it.
Bracelety

GO ICE CUBE! GO! I BELIEVE IN YOU!
A fork stabs Teardrop and she bites Ice Cube's legs.
Ice Cube

*screams*
Fanny

I hate you!
Liy

Huh, maybe we should put a rest to this Teardrop thing, Icy.
Bracelety

YEAH, ICY! LET'S HEAR YOU CHEER! I CAN'T HEAR YOU! LOUDER!
Clock

Teardrop, how could you chomp so viciously on poor, innocent Ice Cube! You should feel ashamed.
Teardrop slaps both Clock & Liy, then storms off.
Liy

Well, I think we both wronged Teardrop today. Truce? (holds out her hand) Truce? Clock, it's not that hard. just shake my hand.
Liy reaches for Clock's clock hands.
Clock

Don't you ticking dare touch my clock hands!
Clock raises his foot and Liy is shaking it.
Ice Cube

Hey guys! Can I be part of the truce too?
Icy joins hands/feet with Liy and Clock.
Ice Cube

Yay!
Fries

Huh, look at that. I always thought Ice Cube was too meek, but I guess she's good at negotiation after all.
Bracelety

YEAH! GO ICE CUBE! YOUR FAN-CLUB IS GROWING!!
Fries

Listen, Ringy, I never said I was a fan of Ice Cube, I was just analyzing her.
Bracelety

But how could you not be a fan of Icy? She's awesome!
Fries

Well then you, little rascal, are a mere follower, and followers never win.
Bracelety

I-I-I hate you!
Fanny

I HATE YOU TOO!
Leafy

Well I LOVE you! I love all of you! You guys are SO amazing! I can't wait to meet all of you!
Fries

Be quiet, Leafy, you're not helping.
Leafy

Oh, I see how it is! Maybe then I don't want to be friends! *turns to four other characters* What about YOU guys!? Do you want to be friends? I bet you do 'cause you're awesome!
Nickel

Yeah!
Cloudy

[thick accent] Of course, it's good to collect as many friends as possible.
Gaty

Hmm, let me think about it, I'll get back to you later, Leafy.
Leafy

Buh! Why doesn't Gaty like me?
Gaty

I just don't know much about you yet, that's all.
Leafy

Well you've definitely chosen to take things the hard way, Gaty, but if that's the way you want to do it I guess I can't stop you!
8-Ball

Hey Gaty, what's your favorite number?
Gaty

Three. Why?
8-Ball

Oh, no reason, just wanted to let you know that I DON'T have a favorite number.
Cloudy

[thick accent] I have thirty-seven favorite numbers.
Nickel

Whoa, how do you have so many!?
Cloudy

[thick accent] I've collected them over the years.
Teardrop stomps to the edge of a cliff.
Eggy

Gosh, those people sure want to get you to talk, huh? They just don't understand the appeal of silence. You know, there was a time when I never spoke, so I understand.
Teardrop faces Eggy in excitement.
Eggy

I said: there was a time when I never spoke, so I understand!
Teardrop flutters her arms.
Eggy

Well, you clearly aren't egging me on. I thought you'd be curious, but I guess not.
Lollipop

Eggy! What was that about?
Eggy

Eh, I tried to get Teardrop interested in one of my personal life stories, but she obviously wasn't interested.
Lollipop

TD's hard to impress? Tell me about it. Earlier today I tried to sell her my fork repellent, but she didn't even care enough to utter a word. She did do this weird arm fluttery thing though.
Pillow

Oh, you mean this gesture?
Pillow flutters her arms.
Lollipop

Yeah, exactly that gesture.
Pillow

I've done some research, and I believe it means the person cares so little that the last droplets of care spirit are being sucked out of their body, through their arms, and out of the tips of their fingers, and into the outer reaches of interstellar space to be lost forever. A true indicator that person doesn't give a fluff.
Eggy

Jeez, Teardrop is so hard to impress.
Lollipop

Her standards must be through the roof! How can we ever get her attention?
Pillow

I honestly think it might be impossible.
Barf Bag

Uh, guys? Maybe Teardrop did care, but just didn't say anything, because, ya' know, she CAN'T.
Pillow

That's a ludicrous thought.
Lollipop

Yeah, make sure the barf molecules aren't spilling out and intoxicating your brain cells.
Eggy

Now wait, Lolly. Let's think about this. If Barf Bag's brain is being infected with puke, that's not her fault, so don't be mean about it.
Barf Bag

I can't believe this! You guys never take me seriously! *Flutters her arms*
Pillow

Look! The fluttery arms. She does not care.
Barf Bag

Spongy, will you take me seriously?
Spongy

Yeah!
Barf Bag

Whew. Finally, there's someone!
Ruby

Flower's pretty beautiful.
Flower

*Gasp*
Pencil

Hey Match, I figured out how the Alliancers can deal with our enemies more effectively.
Match

Really? How like do we do that?
Pencil

*pulls out Lightning* Lightning. Lightning, go electrocute Spongy!
Lightning electrocutes Spongy.
Spongy

*Pain*
Match and Pencil cheer.
Bubble

...Yoy? I feel like my alliance has changed lately.
Match

Good. Now, Lightning? Go get like Flower.
Bubble

Actually Lightning, do what you think is right! HNNNG!
Lightning

Bubble's right! Why am I obeying these maniacs?
Pencil/Relationships/Match

Bubble!
Bubble

Please don't expel me from the alliance!
Pencil

You aren't expelled. But we're gonna demote you. From member, to bember.
Match

Yeah!
Bubble

Noio!
Ruby

Am I still a member?
Pencil

*Sighs* Yes Ruby, you are.
Ruby

YAAAY!
Lightning flies away and finds Marker and Stapy.
Lightning

Hey Marker and Staply! Wanna be friends?
Marker

Nah.
Lightning

Whatever. *Electrocutes Flower*
Marker

Stapy, will you play toss the dirt with me?
Stapy

Yeah!
Marker and Stapy start digging. Dora notices this.
Dora

Digging! How novel. If I am to construct and produce islands for consumption, acquiring dirt in this jubilant manner seems most appropriate.
Dora

*Singing and digging* Islands islands! Yum, yum, yum! Islands islands! Chomp. Islands! They are so delish! Gimme islands now! Gimme! Gimme, gimme, gimme! Gimme. Islands! Yum! Islands. Glorp! Shlorp! Gobble! Gloop! Gulp! Lala! Islands. Islands islands! Yum, yum, yum! Islands islands! Chomp. Islands! Yum.
Dora unearths a jar of cyanide tablets.
Flower

I totally deserve this treasure!
Flower attempts to open the jar, failing.
Flower

Black Hole, you're strong, open this jar for me!
Black Hole

Mmm, I dunno, that sounds like a bad idea, for me to do that.
Flower

If... if you don't help me open it, I'll-I'll crush you!
Black Hole

Well, yea, but like, I'm already inf-infinitely small, being a singularity-
Flower

Just do it Black Hole!
Black Hole

...Uh, okay.
Black Hole approaches Earth.
Flower

Yes, yes, yes! It's working!
Balloony

Flower! What have you done?!
Flower

I got this jar open!
Balloony is sucked into Black Hole.
David

Aaaaaaw, seriously?
Four crushes Black Hole down to a smaller size.
Intro plays.
Black Hole

Oh, cool. I've been crushed down to a smaller size!
Liy

What's this?
Pie

I dunno. Try squishing it.
Four

*Being squished* Eeeeeeaaaah
Saw

Hey! Don't squish that! You don't know what it does!
Four

I do this!
Four captures and mutilates Pin.
Pin

Aaah!
Four

Pretty cool, don't you think?
Coiny

Can... you bring her back?!
Four

No.
Coiny

But the recovery centers are gone. They got sucked up! Are you sure you can't-
Four

Nope.
Coiny

Please you gotta bring her back! *Flutters arms*
Pillow

Come on Coiny, show some respect!
Fanny

I hate to live in a world where recovery is impossible. Where we die forever!
Four

Too bad!
X

Yeah! Too bad!
Liy

There's another one?
Liy squishes X.
Liy

It totally has a different texture from the first one!
Donut

So what do you want, murderer?
Four

*Screeching*
Taco

So what do you want, murderer?
Four

*Scr-
X

No more screechy please!
Four

*-eeches*
Dora

Dadadadadadadadadadadada.
Four

Yeah! Sounds totally reasonable, Dora! Can do!
Book

But what is it you can do?
Prolonged silence.
Four

*Scr-
Four is attacked by Pillow, who disappears, in which Pencil, Match and Needle are shocked at it.
Cuts back to Four who is now standing, he blinks and his left arm disappears.
Bell

Sigh. I guess we'll never get Pin or Pillow back...
Four

Check this out!
Pillow, Pin, and Balloony emerge from Four's hand.
Balloony

I'm so glad you guys remembered to bring me back!
Taco

Can you... leave now?
Four

No
Taco

Well, can you at least stop-
Four

Let's play a game!
Bracelety

I LOVE GAMES! WHAT'S WRONG?
Four

Don't you want to battle to win a prize?
Eraser

But what IS the prize?
Four

A BFDI!
DiaZZUnknown

Contestants
Ohhh! (Excited chatting)
X

I love that prize!
Four

*Screeches*
Four

Now form 8 teams of 8!
8-Ball

It's too bad I don't care about that number at all.
Basketball

Wanna be on the same team 'cuz we're both balls?
8-Ball

Yeah. Let's adopt these three because they're balls too.
Snowball

No, no way. There is no way I'm gonna be on this team of weak, armless-
Firey

Loser, do you want to join our team? I got all my pals along.
Loser

How could I refuse?
Eggy

But what about me?
Clock

Loser, I thought WE were gonna be teammates.
Cake

WHAT? Loser said he was gonna be with me!
Needle

Hey, why don't we just all be-
Loser

On the same team.
Everyone gasps and chants Loser's name.
Loser

There's enough of me to go around.
Snowball

Hey Pie! How many people have you killed?
Pie

Um, none?
Snowball

Wimp. Lightning! How 'bout you? How many people?
Lightning

Sadly, dozens.
Snowball

Yeah, I knew I'd find a powerful teammate soon enough. We're gonna go far, Lightning, we're gonna go so far.
Liy

Whoa, Pie, you seriously haven't killed anyone else, like, ever?
Pie

No, have you?
Liy

Yea, I have, but it felt extremely disturbing. I wanna know how you resisted the temptation. Can we be on the same team so I can learn from you?
Black Hole

Oh oh please! Show me as well!
Pie

Sounds like as good an idea as any.
Bottle

You guys are against killing? The world needs more people like you.
Tree

I agree. I'm all about life.
Liy

Join us then!
Pillow

Did someone say killing?
Barf Bag

Lollipop, I know you think my brain has been destroyed, but maybe I can prove my true abilities if we're on the same team.
Lollipop

How can you prove yourself if you're truly infected? I'm sorry, but just based on your appearance, I gotta say no.
Barf Bag

Oh my SAP! (Sick airplane passenger) Fine then. I'll team up with Spongy, because he likes my presence.
Spongy

Yeah!
Firey Jr.

Hey Spongy, can my friend Bomby and I join your team?
Spongy

Okay! But no burning me.
Firey Jr.

No promises!
Spongy

Wait-
Pencil

Okay, FreeSmart, who are our two other members?
Book

Actually, I dunno. I kinda want to be on some other team this time. This team's kinda unhealthy for us, don't you agree Ice Cube?
Ice Cube

Yeah!
Book

Let's be on Gaty's team!
Gaty

Nice!
Pencil/Relationships/Match

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
Book

Dang. I wanna know how Dora was able to communicate with it so well. I'm curious to learn more. Dora! I think you should be on our team.
Dora joins the team.
Book

And Teardrop. It seems like the the whole world is against you, but I'm on your side.
Teardrop

*Smiles*
Gaty

Saw! Join my team!
Saw

Okay! And I'll bring my friends Lollipop and Taco.
Leafy

Hm. I wanna help all the people who need a helping hand. ROBOTY! I'll help you!
Roboty

(In Morse) DONT
Leafy

I knew you'd join! Rocky! Cloudy! Woody! Nickel! You guys look like you all need assistance! I'll help you too! Balloony! I'll help you too.
Balloony

I don't need help but uh, sure.
Yellow Face

Bell, Foldy, join now!
Foldy

Wait...
Yellow Face

JOIN!
Foldy

Stapy HAS to be on my team.
Marker

I'll follow Stapy.
Fries

Yellow Face, I really admire what you just did there. You've got such amazing skills of persuasion. Puffball, let's join this team.
Puffball

Okay dokay!
Lightning

Well, if you really wanna find someone with that murderous attitude, go with Fanny, who absolutely hates everyone.
Snowball

Well, Fanny not having arms is a real letdown, like a real, real, letdown, but if she's got that aggressive attitude, then I'll settle for that. Welcome to the team.
Fanny

I HATE YOU!
Bracelety

Oh yeah! It's time to join Ice Cube's team, and make my dream come true!
Lollipop

But this team already has eight members.
Bracelety freezes in shock.
Firey Jr.

Quick! Grab Bracelety while she's still incapacitated!
Bomby grabs Bracelety and drags her to their team.
Grassy

Basketball, no one picked me.
Basketball

I'll pick you.
Golf Ball

Based on my calculations, we need at least two mechanical minds in order to outsmart the other teams, which are lacking in mechanical minds! TV, Robot Flower, you've been selected by my formula for a successful team!
TV

*Flower blooming and birds chirping*
Pen

Okay guys, we HAVE to stick together.
Eraser

This dude is right.
Pen

We need to find a team with three slots open or else we're gonna get split up. We have to stick together.
Yellow Face

*grabs Fries' fries* Haumunphunph! FREE FOOD PEOPLE!
Eraser

Ooo! Gimme gimme gimme!
Pen

Okay we lost Eraser. But we still gotta keep it together! You and me, Blocky, we're THIS close.
Grassy

Wow, with a team like this, we're sure to get up to lots of funny doings!
Grassy

(Echoing in Blocky's head) Funny doings!
Blocky

Now that's the team for me.
Grassy

Yay! I'm Grassy!
Golf Ball

Grassy, we're not here to do funny things.
Pen

Okay Pen, we have to stick together now. We can't afford to lose anyone else. It's just me and me.
Meanwhile, Flower sees Remote joining Liy's team and Gelatin joining Spongy's team.
Flower

Ack! Oh no! The teams are filling up! Hmph. Well, I really want Snowball on my team so he can beat people up for me. But I also want Ruby on my team because she saw how beautiful I am. I chose both!
Match

Crudliously? Like, Snowball?
Snowball

What. The flake.
Gelatin

Well, we need two more people. Let's not pick David. He's human and that's just weird.
David

Aw, seriously?
Gelatin

And not Pen, because he's still two hundred vigintillion dollars in debt.
Barf Bag

Okay then, that leaves Naily and Donut!
Donut

Thanks.
Naily

Yeah! I nailed it!
Leafy

David! I'll take you in! You can get my much needed help!
David

Aw, seriously?
Remote

Then Pen is on our team. Yay.
Pen

Okay, this team needs a name.
Tree

Well, I don't have any ideas.
Liy

Well, this team mostly formed to avoid causing death.
Pie

Uh huh.
Bottle

That's right! We're all about preventing death and creating trust.
Team name: "Death Prevention and Creating Trust", shortened to "Death P.A.C.T."
Basketball

Oh wow, they're naming their team.
Golf Ball

Hm. If we want to win, then our team must have a better name than that!
Team name: "A Better Name Than That"
Bracelety

*in background* YEAH!! GO ICE CUBE!! THIS IS THE BEST TEAM EVER!! TEAM ICE CUBE ALL THE WAY!! YAAY!! YEAH!! GO ICE CUBE!! THIS IS THE BEST TEAM EVER!! YEAH!! GO ICE CUBE!! THIS IS THE BEST TEAM EVER!!
Donut

Okay, our team name has to be something solid, that stands out, and isn't dumb.
Spongy

I agree.
Gelatin

I agree. We can't end up with something lame.
Naily

We have to nail it!
Barf Bag

If we come up with something relevant and sensible...
Team name: Team Ice Cube!
Bracelety

TEAM ICE CUBE ALL THE WAY!! YAAY!!
Yellow Face

Naunmph!
Eraser

What happened to the free food?
Yellow Face

Hmmnm!
Eraser

Where is. The free food?!
Yellow Face

Hnmm-FREE FOOD?
Eraser

Yes, free food.
Team name: "Free Food"
Firey

Let's be called "The Losers!"
Loser

Aw, you didn't have to.
The Losers chant Loser's name.
Pencil

Hey, we're like the alliance, right?
Match

That is so totally, like, true.
Ruby

That's such a good observation, Pencil.
Flower

Observe me please!
Bubble

Oi'm a bember!
Lightning

*Electrocutes Flower*
Snowball

Why can't you zap me?
Pencil

I feel like there might be other people, though?
Snowball

Yeah! We're not ALL the alliance!
Fanny

Well if you take "the all" out of "the alliance" you get...
Team name: "iance"
Lightning

It's pronounced "iance".
Woody

Ahah?
Balloony

Yeah, how? Woody's right. Everybody's working so fast!
Leafy

That is not what he said! Tell me again woody!
Woody

Sasasasasasasasasasasasasasa.
Leafy

That's a catchy name.
Cloudy

[thick accent] I know something we should add!
Cloudy

[thick accent] Sasasasasasasasasasasasasa.
Nickel

That is the perfect name!
David

Aww!
Balloony

Asasasasasasasasa. So many meanings!
Rocky

Hmh!
Balloony

Roboty! Get this to Four!
Roboty

.. - .---. ... IT'S-
Team name: "Beep"
Four

And who are you?
Book, Dora, Gaty, Ice Cube, Lollipop, Saw, and Taco all say their names at once. Coincidentally, that's their team name.
Four

So I believe you eight teams are all set to go, right?
Saw

Wait Hold on! *flutters arms*
Pillow

Yep! They're all set to go.
Four

That's good.
Eraser

Well isn't it time to start the first contest? W-wait, why am I not near my pals anymore?
Pen

Gee, I sure wonder!
Golf Ball

But I believe Eraser was right. I have deduced that yes, it IS time to start the first contest.
Leafy

Yeah, uh, Four, I hate to be pushy, but we'd really like to start competing. RIGHT WOODY?!
Woody

YEAH
Tree

Okay, this is getting ridiculous. Hey! You! Can you quit your shenanigans and tell us when-
Four

*Screeches*
Clock

Four, can you quit your shenan-
Four

*Screeches*
Four

Uh oh. Look! X is about to lose grip of his beloved baskets!
X

(Distant) Oh no!
Four

You guys gotta return the baskets to him!
Four

The last team to give X his basket will be in deep trouble.
Lightning

So to clarify, that's the first contest for the battle for BFDI?
Snowball

I guess it is!
Fanny

I HATE IT!
Lollipop

Okay, um, Four? I'm willing to do this favor for your friend-o X, but wouldn't it be easier for both of us if X gets down from that freaking tall pillar first?
Lollipop

Uh, hello, Four? I mean it was just a suggestion, but you don't have t-
Four

*Screeches*
Golf Ball

My plan this episode is to have Blocky and Robot Flower climb the trees to catch the baskets 'cause they've got arms.
Golf Ball

TV will relay coordinates of baskets' locations, and 8-Ball and Basketball will weigh the baskets down, once we got a hold of them!
Grassy

What about Grassy?
Golf Ball

Oh, you're alive? I thought you were just an overgrown section of the lawn that the gardener forgot to mow.
Blocky

What about you Golf Ball?
Golf Ball

I'm managing the team!
Tennis Ball

Me too.
Blocky

You think you can manage me?!
Pen

Hold up! What did Four say we had to do?
Black Hole

We have to return a basket back to X.
Pen

Okay.
Pen

*blows really hard at the basket in the distance*
X

I got it!
Four

Death P.A.C.T. is safe!
Pen

High five!
Pen

High five to you too!
Black Hole

High five!
Pen

Whoah!
Saw

Taco, do we really have to run through the desert?
Taco

That's where the basket's taking us.
Ice Cube

*Quietly screams*
Book

But Ice Cube's starting to melt under the intense summer heat!
Taco

Tell her to grin and bear it. And take inspiration from Teardrop.
Teardrop slaps Taco.
Dora

Dadadadadadadadada-
Lollipop

Be quiet Dora, or else your football hair is gonna fly into your pie hole!
Dora

*now angry* DADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADA!!!
Foldy and Stapy

Rock, paper, scissors!
Fries

Foldy, Stapy, are you seriously playing rock paper scissors when we've got a basket to save??
Stapy

What's wrong with a little RPS so we can stress less? We'll guess who's best and bless the rest!
Fries

Stapy! Now's not the time for rhyming!
Stapy

You're right. I mean, I would like to help our team out as much as I can. How can I be of assistance?
Fries

Well are you light weight?
Stapy

No. I'm one of the heaviest contestants.
Foldy

Well, I'm one of the lightest!
Fries

Then I'll throw you as high as I can and you'll try to grab the basket. Okay?
Foldy

Oh, I'm a bit nervous abou-ouaAAAAAA-nothighenough-AAAAaaaaaaaaaaAAAA-toohigh-AAAAaaaaaaaaaaAAAA-just right-
Foldy is torn to shreds by the propeller on the basket. The shreds rain down on Fries and Stapy.
Stapy

*Stapes angrily*
Match

Jump! Jump Jump! The higher you are, the closer you'll, like, be to the baskets!
Fanny

I HATE JUMPING!
Pencil

Fanny! Stop killing the vibe!
Pencil

Lightning! Go zap her!
Bubble

Wait, Lightning, remember what I said about-
Pencil

Bubble! You wouldn't want to go against the alliance's objective, would you? Bember?
Pencil

(In slow motion) Bbeemmbbeerr?
Bubble

Uh, no!
Lightning

*Electrocutes Fanny*
Fanny

I HATE THIS! I HATE THIS!!! AAAH! AAH! I HATE THIS! AAAH! AAA I HATE THIS! I HATE THISAAAH!
Bubble

*cries*
Pencil/Relationships/Match

Look on maliciously.
Cake

Oh Loser, what an honor it is to be on your team.
Loser

Oh Pfft. It's nothing.
Firey

Loser I love you! *Flutters arms*
Loser

I love you too Firey.
Pillow

Why doesn't Firey care?
Pin

Guys, I like loser as much as the rest of you, but we should focus on saving ourselves a basket! Or else we'll end up on the chopping block!
Coiny

Don't tell me. Do you NOT LIKE LOSER?!
Clock

Are you ungrateful of his majestic presence?
Pin

No I just think we oughta-
Firey

REMOVE THE HATER!
Firey throws Pin in the air, launching her to the basket. She hits it, the basket drops on The Losers, trapping them under.
Needle

It's too heavy!
Cake

Save us Loser!
Loser

Sure can do.
Loser lifts the basket, but accidentally traps Eggy. Coiny, Firey, Needle, and Clock cheer.
Cake

Yay Loser!
Eggy

Wait, hold on!
Cut to BEEP.
Leafy

Come on Cloudy! I just know you can make it!
Rocky

Bulleh!
Nickel

It's an awfully long way.
Balloony

Okay, I'm tired of waiting. Hop!
Balloony jumps on Roboty, launching him towards the basket. He grabs on to the basket and deflates himself, moving the basket to X. He falls to the ground and gives thumbs up.
Woody

aaAAAAA!
Four

Beep is safe!
Leafy

WE DID IT!
David

Aw, seriously?
Bell

With Foldy gone, how are we gonna reach that basket? No one here can get up there!
Puffball comes closer to Marker.
Marker

Uh, turn around.
Bell

(dinging) wAAAAAAA!
Yellow Face

Go Puffball, get the basket!
Puffball hovers up and pushes the basket to X.
X

Hey! You spilled the air out of my basket! Oh well, that's fine.
Four

Free Food is safe!
Golf Ball

Okay so Tennis Ball's gone, but we're still on track to get the basket in minimal possible time!
Golf Ball

Hey Blocky and Robot Flower! How is the climb going?
Blocky

It's good, but it would be easier if you helped! Okay just got to the top.
Robot Flower

Yay! I'm the first to the top!
Blocky

That's not true. I was here firs-
Robot Flower kicks Blocky off of the tree.
Blocky

AAA!
Golf Ball

Oh shoot, Robot Flower has betrayed us! We cannot afford a second death. People! Try to cushion his fall!
Basketball

Owow! I'm too bouncy!
Basketball runs away, while Grassy walks up and breaks Blocky's fall safely.
Golf Ball

Oh, wow, Grassy! You are actually useful for once! Good job.
NewGrassy

Grassy's always useful!
Blocky

Wait, Golf Ball, the next step of your plan is getting Eight Ball and Basketball to weigh down the basket, right?
Golf Ball

Yes, that's correct.
Blocky

But how are you going to get them up there if Robot Flower's already at the top?
Golf Ball

Oh, well, you see, my calculations tell you that-that, that-
Blocky

What's that? Wha? What's this? The world's best strategy manager doesn't manage the strategy well?
Golf Ball

*sigh* Well, I guess we'll just use the trebuchet Tennis Ball built before he died.
8-Ball

Is this safe?
The trebuchet Tennis Ball built before he died launches Eight Ball and Basketball into the basket.
Blocky

Wha? Ya-you had this the whole time? I didn't actually have to climb the tree?
Golf Ball

Physical exertion builds character.
Blocky picks up Golf Ball.
Blocky

Oh, well you know what else builds character?
Ice Cube

*Quiet screaming*
Saw

Why are we running through the world's largest oven?
Taco

We gotta follow that basket!
Book

Well Ice Cube just finished melting, and Teardrop's going through the evaporation stage!
Taco

We're getting so super close! Just hang in there!
Lollipop melts and Teardrop completes evaporation.
(in the background, Barf Bag and Bracelety use Spongy as a trampoline to get Naily up to where the basket is, and Naily jams the propeller, and Team Ice Cube! uses Spongy to launch the basket to X.)
Gelatin

Let's use Bomby to launch ourselves up!
Bomby

DontignitemeEEE!!!
Donut

Gelatin, are you insane?! Bomby's our friend and teammate. You can't just kill him when you need something!
Firey Jr.

Yeah!
Four

Team Ice Cube is safe!
Donut

Huh? Oh, we won.
Match

Bubble, are you like thinking?
Bubble

Yeah, I'm thinking about Fanny.
Match

Well stop it! Heavy thoughts will like weigh you down, and you won't jump as high.
Bubble

Oh, okay.
Match

Ruby! Are your, like, eyes open?
Ruby

Yes.
Match

Well close them! If the sun's like photons hit your eyes, they will literally, like, push you downwards.
Match

Snowball, is your name "Snowball"...?
Snowball

...
Match

Well stop it! All those L's are going to weigh, like, a flaketon, and that's why you jump so low.
Match

Flower, are you...oh wait, we're enemies. I should not talk to you.
Flower

But we don't have to be!
Clock

Hey guys, watch this!
Clock's clock hands launch a basket to X.
X

Yayay! So much value!
Four

The Losers are safe!
Four

Only three out of eight teams left!
8-Ball

I don't have a favorite number, but Golf Ball's gone too now, so I guess I'm in charge.
NewGrassy

Why not Grassy?
8-Ball

Although I don't have a favorite number, I think we should use the trebuchet to get the basket to X.
Blocky

Sounds like a good idea to me.
8-Ball uses the trebuchet to launch the basket up to X.
X

Yay! Come here precious basket!
The basket hits X and he falls off.
X

AAaaaaAaaaaAaaaaAA!!
X somehow manages to get back to the top and grab the basket from behind him.
Four

A Better Name Than That is safe. So now it's down to iance and Bleh.
Saw

Why are we literally swimming through molten lava right now?!
Taco

To catch the basket!
Dora

Dadadadadadadadadadadada!
Gaty

Guys, Book just exploded into flames.
Taco

Got it.
Gaty

Also, Four said iance and we were the only teams who haven't finished!
Taco

What the stand?
Saw

Well, swim faster everybody!
Ruby

I think I'm... getting... close!
Saw

We're almost there!
Pencil/Relationships/Match

We're almost there!
Saw

I can feel it!
Pencil/Relationships/Match

I can feel it!
Saw

I got it!
Pencil

I got it!
Match

Really Pencil?
Pencil

No, JK, still got half a mile to go.
Saw

Here's your basket!
X

Oh!
Four

Bleh is safe! No mercy for iance.
Match

Aw, but jumping worked last time.
Four

Bee Movie Script - Dialogue Transcript


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.
