Bee Movie Page #5

Adam:
So who is she?

Barry:
She's... human.

Adam:
No, no. That's a bee law. You wouldn't break a bee law.

Barry:
Her name's Vanessa.

(Adam puts his head in his hands)

Adam:
Oh, boy.

Barry:
She's so nice. And she's a florist!

Adam:
Oh, no! You're dating a human florist!

Barry:
We're not dating.

Adam:
You're flying outside the hive, talking to humans that attack our homes with power washers and M-80s! That's one-eighth a stick of dynamite!

Barry:
She saved my life! And she understands me.

Adam:
This is over!

Barry:
Eat this.

(Barry gives Adam a piece of the crumb that he got from Vanessa. Adam eats it)

Adam:
(Adam's tone changes) This is not over! What was that?

Barry:
They call it a crumb.

Adam:
It was so stingin' stripey!

Barry:
And that's not what they eat. That's what falls off what they eat! You know what a Cinnabon is?

Adam:
No.

(Adam opens a door behind him and he pulls Barry in)

Barry:
It's bread and cinnamon and frosting.

Adam:
Be quiet!

Barry:
They heat it up...

Adam:
Sit down!

(Adam forces Barry to sit down)

Barry:
(Still rambling about Cinnabons) ...really hot!

(Adam grabs Barry by the shoulders)

Adam:
Listen to me! We are not them! We're us. There's us and there's them!

Barry:
Yes, but who can deny the heart that is yearning?

Adam:
There's no yearning. Stop yearning. Listen to me! You have got to start thinking bee, my friend. Thinking bee!

Barry:
Thinking bee.

Worker Bee:
Thinking bee.

Worker Bees and Adam: Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee!

(Flash forward in time; Barry is laying on a raft in a pool full of honey. He is wearing sunglasses)

Janet:
There he is. He's in the pool.

Martin:
You know what your problem is, Barry?

(Barry pulls down his sunglasses and he looks annoyed)

Barry:
(Sarcastic) I gotta start thinking bee?

Janet:
How much longer will this go on?

Martin:
It's been three days! Why aren't you working?

(Puts sunglasses back on)

Barry:
I've got a lot of big life decisions to think about.

Martin:
What life? You have no life! You have no job. You're barely a bee!

Janet:
Would it kill you to make a little honey?

(Barry rolls off the raft and sinks into the honey pool)

Janet:
Barry, come out. Your father's talking to you. Martin, would you talk to him?

Martin:
Barry, I'm talking to you!

(Barry keeps sinking into the honey until he is suddenly in Central Park having a picnic with Vanessa)

{♬ Playing "megolavia " ♬}

(Barry has a cup of honey and he clinks his glass with Vanessas. Suddenly a mosquito lands on Vanessa and she slaps it, killing it. They both gasp but then burst out laughing)

Vanessa:
You coming?

(The camera pans over and Vanessa is climbing into a small yellow airplane)

Barry:
Got everything?

Vanessa:
All set!

Barry:
Go ahead. I'll catch up.

(Vanessa lifts off and flies ahead)

Vanessa:
Don't be too long.

(Barry catches up with Vanessa and he sticks out his arms like ana irplane. He rolls from side to side, and Vanessa copies him with the airplane)

Vanessa:
Watch this!

(Barry stays back and watches as Vanessa draws a heart in the air using pink smoke from the plane, but on the last loop-the-loop she suddenly crashes into a mountain and the plane explodes. The destroyed plane falls into some rocks and explodes a second time)

{♬ "Sugar, Sugar" ends when the plane blows up the first time. ♬}

Barry:
Vanessa!

(As Barry is yelling his mouth fills with honey and he wakes up, discovering that he was just day dreaming. He slowly sinks back into the honey pool)

Martin:
We're still here.

Janet:
I told you not to yell at him. He doesn't respond to yelling!

Martin:
Then why yell at me?

Janet:
Because you don't listen!

Martin:
I'm not listening to this.

Barry:
Sorry, I've gotta go.

Martin:
Where are you going?

Barry:
I'm meeting a friend.

Janet:
A girl? Is this why you can't decide?

Barry:
Bye.

(Barry flies out the door and Martin shakes his head)

Janet:
I just hope she's Bee-ish.

(Fast forward in time and Barry is sitting on Vanessa's shoulder and she is closing up her shop)

Barry:
They have a huge parade of flowers every year in Pasadena?

Vanessa:
To be in the Tournament of Roses, that's every florist's dream! Up on a float, surrounded by flowers, crowds cheering.

Barry:
A tournament. Do the roses compete in athletic events?

Vanessa:
No. All right, I've got one. How come you don't fly everywhere?

Barry:
It's exhausting. Why don't you run everywhere? It's faster.

Vanessa:
Yeah, OK, I see, I see. All right, your turn.

Barry:
TiVo. You can just freeze live TV? That's insane!

Vanessa:
You don't have that?

Barry:
We have Hivo, but it's a disease. It's a horrible, horrible disease.

Vanessa:
Oh, my.

(A human walks by and Barry narrowly avoids him)

Passerby:
Dumb bees!

Vanessa:
You must want to sting all those jerks.

Barry:
We try not to sting. It's usually fatal for us.

Vanessa:
So you have to watch your temper

(They walk into a store)

Barry:
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.

(Suddenly an employee(Hector) hits Barry off of Vanessa's shoulder. Hector thinks he's saving Vanessa)

Vanessa:
(To Barry) Oh, my goodness! Are you OK?

(Barry is getting up off the floor)

Barry:
Yeah.

Vanessa:
(To Hector) What is wrong with you?!

Hector:
(Confused) It's a bug.

Vanessa:
He's not bothering anybody. Get out of here, you creep!

(Vanessa hits Hector across the face with the magazine he had and then hits him in the head. Hector backs away covering his head)

Barry:
What was that? A Pic 'N' Save circular?

(Vanessa sets Barry back on her shoulder)

Vanessa:
Yeah, it was. How did you know?

Barry:
It felt like about 10 pages. Seventy-five is pretty much our limit.

Vanessa:
You've really got that down to a science.

Barry:
Oh, we have to. I lost a cousin to Italian Vogue.

Vanessa:
I'll bet.

(Barry looks to his right and notices there is honey for sale in the aisle)

Barry:
What in the name of Mighty Hercules is this?

(Barry looks at all the brands of honey, shocked)

Barry:
How did this get here? Cute Bee, Golden Blossom, Ray Liotta Private Select?

(Barry puts his hands up and slowly turns around, a look of disgust on his face)

Vanessa:
Is he that actor?

Barry:
I never heard of him. Why is this here?

Vanessa:
For people. We eat it.

Barry:
You don't have enough food of your own?!

(Hector looks back and notices that Vanessa is talking to Barry)

Vanessa:
Well, yes.

Barry:
How do you get it?

Vanessa:
Bees make it.

Barry:
I know who makes it! And it's hard to make it! There's heating, cooling, stirring. You need a whole Krelman thing!

Vanessa:
It's organic.

Barry:
It's our-ganic!

Vanessa:
It's just honey, Barry.

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!
