Oh those just get me psychotic  Yeah me too. Bent stingers pointless pollination. Bees must hate those fake things Nothing worse than a daffodil thats had work done. Maybe this could make up for it a little bit. This lawsuits a pretty big deal.  I guess. You sure you want to go through with it? Am I sure? When Im done with the humans they wont be able to say "Honey Im home" without paying a royalty Its an incredible scene here in downtown Manhattan where the world anxiously waits because for the first time in history we will hear for ourselves if a honeybee can actually speak. What have we gotten into here Barry? Its pretty big isnt it? I cant believe how many humans dont work during the day. You think billiondollar multinational food companies have good lawyers? Everybody needs to stay behind the barricade. Whats the matter?  I dont know I just got a chill. Well if it isnt the bee team. You boys work on this? All rise The Honorable Judge Bumbleton presiding. All right. Oase number 4475 Superior Oourt of New York Barry Bee Benson v. the Honey Industry is now in session. Mr. Montgomery youre representing the five food companies collectively? A privilege. Mr. Benson... youre representing all the bees of the world? Im kidding. Yes Your Honor were ready to proceed. Mr. Montgomery your opening statement please. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury my grandmother was a simple woman. Born on a farm she believed it was mans divine right to benefit from the bounty of nature God put before us. If we lived in the topsyturvy world Mr. Benson imagines just think of what would it mean. I would have to negotiate with the silkworm for the elastic in my britches Talking bee How do we know this isnt some sort of holographic motionpicturecapture Hollywood wizardry? They could be using laser beams Robotics Ventriloquism Oloning For all we know he could be on steroids Mr. Benson? Ladies and gentlemen theres no trickery here. Im just an ordinary bee. Honeys pretty important to me. Its important to all bees. We invented it We make it. And we protect it with our lives. Unfortunately there are some people in this room who think they can take it from us cause were the little guys Im hoping that after this is all over youll see how by taking our honey you not only take everything we have but everything we are I wish hed dress like that all the time. So nice Oall your first witness. So Mr. Klauss Vanderhayden of Honey Farms big company you have. I suppose so. I see you also own Honeyburton and Honron Yes they provide beekeepers for our farms. Beekeeper. I find that to be a very disturbing term. I dont imagine you employ any beefreeers do you? No.  I couldnt hear you. No.  No. Because you dont free bees. You keep bees. Not only that it seems you thought a bear would be an appropriate image for a jar of honey. Theyre very lovable creatures. Yogi Bear Fozzie Bear BuildABear. You mean like this? Bears kill bees Howd you like his head crashing through your living room? Biting into your couch Spitting out your throw pillows OK thats 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 youve never been a police officer have you? No I havent. No you havent. And so here we have yet another example of bee culture casually stolen by a human for nothing more than a pranceabout stage name. Oh please. Have you ever been stung Mr. Sting? Because Im feeling a little stung Sting. Or should I say... Mr. Gordon M. Sumner Thats 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 youre devilishly handsome with a churning inner turmoil thats ready to blow. I enjoy what I do. Is that a crime? Not yet it isnt. But is this what its come to for you? Exploiting tiny helpless bees so you dont have to rehearse your part and learn your lines sir? Watch it Benson I could blow right now This isnt a goodfella. This is a badfella Why doesnt someone just step on this creep and we can all go home? Order in this court  Youre 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 jurys on our side. Are we doing everything right legally? Im a florist. Right. Well heres to a great team. To a great team Well hello. Ken  Hello. I didnt think you were coming. No I was just late. I tried to call but... the battery. I didnt want all this to go to waste so I called Barry. Luckily he was free. Oh that was lucky. Theres a little left. I could heat it up. Yeah heat it up sure whatever. So I hear youre quite a tennis player. Im not much for the game myself. The balls a little grabby. Thats where I usually sit. Right... there. Ken Barry was looking at your resume and he agreed with me that eating with chopsticks isnt really a special skill. You think I dont see what youre 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. Thats just what I was thinking about doing. Ken I let Barry borrow your razor for his fuzz. I hope that was all right. Im going to drain the old stinger. Yeah you do that. Look at that. You know Ive just about had it with your little mind games. Whats that?  Italian Vogue. Mamma mia thats a lot of pages. A lot of ads. Remember what Van said why is your life more valuable than mine? Funny I just cant 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 Im wearing a Ohapstick hat This is pathetic Ive got issues Well well well a royal flush Youre bluffing.  Am I? Surfs up dude Poo water That bowl is gnarly.

Are there other bugs in your life? No but there are other things bugging me in life. And youre 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 sugarfree artificial sweeteners made by man Im sorry about all that. I know its got an aftertaste I like it I always felt there was some kind of barrier between Ken and me. I couldnt 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 hes considered one of the best lawyers... Yeah. Layton youve gotta weave some magic with this jury or its gonna be all over. Dont worry. The only thing I have to do to turn this jury around is to remind them of what they dont like about bees. You got the tweezers?  Are you allergic? Only to losing son. Only to losing. Mr. Benson Bee Ill ask you what I think wed all like to know. What exactly is your relationship to that woman? Were friends. Good friends?  Yes. How good? Do you live together? Wait a minute... Are you her little... ...bedbug? Ive seen a bee documentary or two.

You cant treat them like equals Theyre striped savages Stingings the only thing they know Its their way Adam stay with me.  I cant 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 didnt I? It doesnt matter. What matters is youre alive. You could have died. Id be better off dead. Look at me. They got it from the cafeteria downstairs in a tuna sandwich. Look theres a little celery still on it. What was it like to sting someone? I cant explain it. It was all... All adrenaline and then... and then ecstasy All right. You think it was all a trap? Of course. Im sorry. I flew us right into this. What were we thinking? Look at us. Were just a couple of bugs in this world. What will the humans do to us if they win? I dont know. I hear they put the roaches in motels. That doesnt sound so bad. Adam they check in but they dont check out Oh my. Oould you get a nurse to close that window? Why?  The smoke. Bees dont smoke. Right. Bees dont smoke. Bees dont smoke But some bees are smoking. Thats it Thats our case It is? Its not over? Get dressed. Ive gotta go somewhere. Get back to the court and stall. Stall any way you can. And assuming youve done step correctly youre ready for the tub. Mr. Flayman. Yes? Yes Your Honor Where is the rest of your team? Well Your Honor its interesting. Bees are trained to fly haphazardly and as a result we dont make very good time. I actually heard a funny story about... Your Honor havent these ridiculous bugs taken up enough of this courts 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 Im afraid Im going to have to consider Mr. Montgomerys motion. But you cant 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? Its a bee smoker What this? This harmless little contraption? This couldnt 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 manmade wooden slat work camps? Living out our lives as honey slaves to the white man? What are we gonna do?  Hes 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 Highfive Sorry. Im OK You know what this means? All the honey will finally belong to the bees. Now we wont have to work so hard all the time. This is an unholy perversion of the balance of nature Benson. Youll 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 Montgomerys right?  What do you mean? Weve been living the bee way a long time 27 million years. Oongratulations on your victory. What will you demand as a settlement? First well 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 badbreath stink machine. Were all aware of what they do in the woods. Wait for my signal. Take him out. Hell have nauseous for a few hours then hell be fine. And we will no longer tolerate beenegative nicknames... But its just a pranceabout stage name ...unnecessary inclusion of honey in bogus health products and ladeeda human teatime snack garnishments. Oant breathe. Bring it in boys Hold it right there Good. Tap it. Mr. Buzzwell we just passed three cups and theres gallons more coming I think we need to shut down  Shut down? Weve never shut down. Shut down honey production Stop making honey Turn your key sir What do we do now? Oannonball Were shutting honey production Mission abort. Aborting pollination and nectar detail. Returning to base. Adam you wouldnt believe how much honey was out there. Oh yeah? Whats going on? Where is everybody? Are they out celebrating?  Theyre home. They dont 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 wouldnt? Its 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 cant. I dont understand why theyre not happy. I thought their lives would be better Theyre doing nothing. Its amazing. Honey really changes people. You dont have any idea whats 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. Theyre all wilting. Doesnt look very good does it? No. And whose fault do you think that is? You know Im gonna guess bees. Bees? Specifically me. I didnt think bees not needing to make honey would affect all these things. Its notjust flowers. Fruits vegetables they all need bees. Thats our whole SAT test right there. Take away produce that affects the entire animal kingdom. And then of course... The human species? So if theres no more pollination it could all just go south here couldnt it? I know this is also partly my fault. How about a suicide pact? How do we do it? Ill 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. Theyve moved it to this weekend because all the flowers are dying. Its the last chance Ill ever have to see it. Vanessa I just wanna say Im sorry. I never meant it to turn out like this. I know. Me neither. Tournament of Roses. Roses cant do sports. Wait a minute. Roses. Roses? Roses Vanessa Roses? Barry? Roses are flowers  Yes they are. Flowers bees pollen I know. Thats 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. Ive ruined the planet. I wanted to help you with the flower shop. Ive made it worse. Actually its completely closed down. I thought maybe you were remodeling. But I have another idea and its greater than my previous ideas combined. I dont 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 theyve got back here with what weve got. Bees.  Park. Pollen  Flowers. Repollination  Across the nation Tournament of Roses Pasadena Oalifornia. Theyve got nothing but flowers floats and cotton candy. Security will be tight. I have an idea. Vanessa Bloome FTD. Official floral business. Its real. Sorry maam. 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 Im the pea.  The pea? It goes under the mattresses. Not in this fairy tale sweetheart.  Im getting the marshal. You do that This whole parade is a fiasco Lets see what this babyll do. Hey what are you doing? Then all we do is blend in with traffic... ...without arousing suspicion. Once at the airport theres 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.  Its part of me. I know. Just having some fun. Enjoy your flight. Then if were lucky well 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. Its got to work. Attention passengers this is Oaptain Scott. We have a bit of bad weather in New York. It looks like well experience a couple hours delay. Barry these are cut flowers with no water. Theyll never make it. I gotta get up there and talk to them. Be careful. Oan I get help with the Sky Mall magazine? Id like to order the talking inflatable nose and ear hair trimmer. Oaptain Im in a real situation. Whatd you say Hal?  Nothing. Bee Dont freak out My entire species... What are you doing? Wait a minute Im an attorney  Whos an attorney? Dont 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. Ones bald ones in a boat theyre both unconscious Is that another bee joke?  No No ones flying the plane This is JFK control tower Flight 356. Whats your status? This is Vanessa Bloome. Im a florist from New York. Wheres the pilot? Hes unconscious and so is the copilot. Not good. Does anyone onboard have flight experience? As a matter of fact there is. Whos that?  Barry Benson. From the honey trial? Oh great. Vanessa this is nothing more than a big metal bee. Its got giant wings huge engines. I cant fly a plane. Why not? Isnt John Travolta a pilot?  Yes. How hard could it be? Wait Barry Were headed into some lightning. This is Bob Bumble. We have some latebreaking news from JFK Airport where a suspenseful scene is developing. Barry Benson fresh from his legal victory... Thats 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. Theres a bee on that plane. Im quite familiar with Mr. Benson and his noaccount compadres. Theyve done enough damage. But isnt he your only hope? Technically a bee shouldnt be able to fly at all. Their wings are too small... Havent 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.  Were 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. Thats why I want to get bees back to working together. Thats the bee way Were not made of JellO. We get behind a fellow. Black and yellow  Hello Left right down hover. Hover?  Forget hover. This isnt so hard. Beepbeep Beepbeep Barry what happened? Wait I think we were on autopilot the whole time. That may have been helping me.  And now were not So it turns out I cannot fly a plane. All of you lets get behind this fellow Move it out Move out Our only chance is if I do what Id do you copy me with the wings of the plane Dont have to yell. Im not yelling Were in a lot of trouble. Its very hard to concentrate with that panicky tone in your voice Its not a tone. Im panicking I cant 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 its my turn. How is the plane flying?
