A Bug's Life Page #7
You bugs were never here.
So I suggest you all leave.
But the bird!
The-The bird will work.
I never thought I'd see the day
when an ant would put himself...
-before the rest of his colony.
- What?
- The point is, Flik, you lied to us.
- No, no, no! I-I--
You lied, Flik. You lied to her.
You lied to the colony!
You lied to me!
And like an idiot,
I believed you.
But I-I was just afraid that...
if you knew I'd gotten circus bugs--
[ Sighs Deeply ]
- I just wanted to make a difference.
- I want you to leave, Flik.
And this time, don't come back.
- [ Gasps ]
- [ Whimpers ]
Tough crowd. Yee-haw!
Flik!
[ Thumper ]
Get those bugs!
[ Panting ]
[ Crowd Chattering ]
[ Grunting ]
That's it? But there's got
to be more food on the island!
If we give up any more,
we'll starve.
-[ Roaring ]
[ Roaring Intensifies ]
- [ Whimpering ]
- Mother, it's not enough.
- What do we do?
- I-I don't know.
-[ Roaring Stops ]
- [ Gasping ]
[ Gasping, Swallowing ]
[ Heavy Footsteps ]
[ Gasps ]
[ Growling, Screeching ]
- [ Crowd Gasping ]
- You little termites!
I give you a second chance,
and this is all I get?
- [ Screaming ]
- But Hopper, we ran out of time!
Have you been playing all summer?
You think this is a game?
- No, no, please!
- Well, guess what?
You just lost.
- [ Screeching ]
- Not one ant sleeps...
until we get
every scrap of food...
on this island!
Just do what he says. You don't
want to make him mad. Believe me!
No, no, no.
You're staying with me, Your Highness.
- [ Screaming ]
- What do you think you're doing?
- Get over there.
- Quick! To the clubhouse.
- [ Rustling ]
- [ Gasping ] Hurry!
- Shh!
- [ Grasshopper ]
Shut up a minute, will ya?
- I think I heard something over here.
- Have you checked over there?
- No, not yet.
- Then get over there and check it out!
- Wait a minute.
- [ Gasps ]
- Hey, I think I found something.
- [ Footsteps Approaching ]
[ Laughs ]
Cool. Hey, how do I look?
Like an idiot.
Oh, I don't know, maybe
it'll keep me dry in the rain.
You moron, we'll be out of here
before it rains.
Didn't you hear Hopper?
After the ants pick all the food,
he's gonna squish the queen
to remind 'em who's boss.
Then she's dead. They cry--boo-hoo--
we go home. End of story.
Oh! Cool. I love our job.
Stay here.
I'm gonna get help.
[ Grunts ]
[ Panting ]
Ooh!
- [ Snarling ]
- [ Screaming ]
- [ Grunting ]
- [ Panting ]
- [ Roaring ]
- [ Grunting ]
[ Screeching ]
[ Screaming ]
[ Grunting ]
[ Panting ]
Come on, wings, fly. Fly!
- [ Roaring ]
- [ Screaming ]
[ Screaming Fades ]
[ Growling ]
[ Screeching ]
Yeah! Whoa-oh!
[ Panting, Grunting ]
[ P.T. Humming, Indistinct ]
I'm gonna be
rich, rich, rich
I'm gonna be rich, rich, rich
in the land
Ka-ching! The streets'll
be paved with golden retrievers
I'm rich, rich, rich
That's who I am
[ P. T. Continues Singing,
Indistinct ]
- Poor fellow.
- Hey, maybe we can cheer him up a bit.
Don't worry, Flik.
The circus life isn't so bad.
- Yes, you can be part of our act.
- Here! Like this.
Oof! Ahh.
Slapstick! Get it?
I-I'm a walking stick.
[ Laughs Weakly ] Oh, never mind.
-[ Dot ] Flik!
- Dot?
Flik, wait! Wait!
Dot, you're flying!
What are you doing here?
[ Panting ]
You... have to go back.
Hopper moved into the anthill,
and his gang's eating everything!
- Oh, no!
- Good heavens!
And I heard a grasshopper say
that when they're finished,
Hopper's gonna squish my mom!
- Oh, not the queen!
- Do something!
- How?
- [ Rosie ] Come on, you guys, think!
- I know. The bird.
- Yes, of course.
- The bird! That's brilliant.
-Ja!
- The bird won't work.
- What are you talking about?
It was your idea.
- But you said that everything--
Forget everything I ever told you.
All right, Dot?
Let's face it. The colony is right.
I just make things worse.
That bird is a guaranteed failure.
[ Sighs ]
Just like me.
You listen to me, my boy. I've made
a living out of being a failure.
And you, sir, are not a failure!
- Oh, but Flik, you've
done so many good things.
- Oh, yeah?
Okay, show me one thing
I've done right.
- Umm--
- Us.
-[ Bugs ] Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
- Dim is right, my boy.
You have rekindled the long-dormant
embers of purpose in our lives.
And if it wasn't for you,
Francis would have never gotten
in touch with his feminine side.
Oh yeah? Well-- Hmm.
[ Chuckles ]
You know what? He's right.
Lieutenant Gypsy
reporting for duty.
- Kid, say the word
and we'll follow you into battle.
- We believe in you, my boy.
Flik, please?
Pretend it's a seed, okay?
[ Chuckles ]
Thanks, Dot.
- Hey, what's with the rock?
- Must be an ant thing.
All right, let's do it.
- [ Laughing, Cheering ]
- That's the Flik we know and love.
- We're on!
- So, what do we do first?
Bugs will pay
big bucks to see
[ Laughing ]
P.T., look. Money!
[ P. T.]
Where? Where? [ Screaming ]
All right. Get movin'! Get goin'.
Move your abdomens, now!
[ Flik ]
They're rounding everyone up.
- [ Gasps ]
- Hey! Turn your butt off.
Psst! Hey, guys!
Get me out of this thing, will ya?
about payin' ya.
Hey! Wait, wait!
Okay, I'll pay ya! I'll pay ya!
[ Flik ] Oh, no!
They've finished collecting the food.
We've got to get the queen now.
Once she's safe,
we move on Gypsy's signal.
-[ Rattling ]
- [ Gasps ] Someone's coming!
[ Rattling Continues ]
Hello, kids! Ready to make
some grasshoppers cry?
It's payback time,
Blueberry-style.
- [ Grunting ]
- Blueberries rock!
- [ All Cheering ]
- All right!
- [ Growling ]
-[ Drum Rolling ]
[ Slim ] Ladies and Gentlebugs!
Larvae of all stages!
Rub your legs together for
the world's greatest bug circus!
- Wait a minute.
- [ Brakes Screeching ]
- I think I'm going to wet myself.
- Steady--
- What's going on here?
- Well, uh--
Uh, yes.
[ Chuckling ]
We were invited
by Princess Atta...
as a surprise for your arrival.
- Squish 'em.
- [ Gasping ]
Ooh--
[ Gasps ]
[ Together] Hey!
[ Gibberish ]
[ Continues, Alone ]
Now that's funny.
That is funny.
a little entertainment.
Looks like you did something right
for once, Princess.
-[ Laughing Uneasily ] On with the show!
-Hi-ya!
Hey!
The circus, the circus
I love the circus
[ Cheering, Yelling ]
[ Panting ]
- [ Sucking ]
- Ba-ba all gone!
Baby wants pie!
Pie? He asked for it.
Should I give it to him?
Yeah! Give 'em pie!
