But, wait. No, no.

You never had bugs before you got here.

They had you all that time,

they did all those things to you,

and you never had no bugs until you got

here, until after you, until after we...

Oh, my God! After we...

After we... Oh, it's...

It's "we," it's us, it's...

They... They... They gave you the...

What'd they call that... The drone.

They gave you the drone.

And gave me the queen.

They gave me the mother!

And that's when they came out. That's

when they mated, when we made them!

When we... And then, and then, and then...

Oh, my God, it had to be me.

It had to be me from the very beginning

because they took... They took Lloyd.

They took him somewhere,

they took him to this laboratory,

and they...

And they cut him, and they cut him open,

and the stuff matched or whatever, the DNA

and the blood, it all went together,

and so they started to build...

They started to build,

they started to build the queen,

the mother, and they gave it to me.

They gave it to me.

The juice, the bug, the mother,

the bug, the super-mother bug.

I am the super-mother bug!

I am the super-mother bug! Oh, my God!

We made them!

We made them! We gave birth to them!

And they will never leave us. They will

never leave us because we made them.

And those people... Those people are trying

to come in here to kill us

because the bugs won't go out

into the world to do their work!

They would never leave us! They will

never leave us! We are all they know.

And they're trying

to come in here to kill us,

to send the bugs back out into the world!

Oh, my God! Oh, my God,

do you know what we have to do?

You know what we have to do?

We have to kill them.

Yes, yes, yes.

It's better knowing.

Oh, we have to kill them.

We are responsible.

What is it?

- Who is it?

- Pizza Harris.

- When did I order a pizza?

- You order a pizza?

No.

- Just leave it!

- You gotta pay me, lady.

- How much is it?

- $1 4.74.

- What's on it?

- Everything.

- Everything?

- Everything.

Everything.

- You want change?

- No. Just take it.

Yeah, whatever.

If we don't open the door,

they'll know we know.

Okay, ready? Okay, one, two...

No, no. No, no. Hold it.

Hold it.

How does it look?

I'm no expert.

- Oh, I don't think that's clean!

- Vicious bastards!

Aggie!

Open the f***ing door! Aggie?

Damn it, Aggie, open this door!

Aggie!

Aggie, come here!

Aggie!

You whore! You f***ing b*tch!

F***! You f***ing whore!

Open the f***ing door!

They're all coming out.

- Look at the ceiling...

- They're everywhere!

I am the drone.

You are the queen.

- Under the skin...

- Breeding ground...

- Egg sac...

- Larvae pool...

- Baby bug water...

- Feeding pupa...

Oh, feeding baby bug.

Skin and ground, breeding egg sacs...

- I love you.

- I love you.
