The Ant Bully Page #3

Synopsis: Tired of weathering constant attacks on their colony, ants shrink a destructive boy, named Lucas (Zach Tyler Eisen), to their size and sentence him to live among them until he learns the errors of his ways. Guided by his insect guardians (Julia Roberts, Regina King, Bruce Campbell), Lucas discovers a world he never knew existed and soon joins forces with his new friends to combat an exterminator (Paul Giamatti) who threatens their colony.

I don't need your help.

I need your help! I need your help!

Bye, losers.

Come on.

-All right.

-Hurry, human.

You're gonna make us lose.

Hey. I've only got two legs.

Go, Two Legs, go.

Go, Lucas.

-Spring.

-Spring, hooyah.

Hooyah.

Oh, time out.

I don't think I can do this--

All right.

-Let me off!

-Don't let go!

I'm gonna be sick.

Don't let go.

-I'm letting go.

-Don't let go.

He let go.

-A jellybean?

-All right, Lucas.

Good thinking.

Slingshot, hooyah.

-All right, Lucas. Good job.

-Yeah, Peanut, you rule.

-Come on, we're losing. Let's go.

-Good job, Lucas.

-Did we win yet?

-Almost.

We just have to get the sweet rock

over the finish line.

Come on, let's go.

Hurry up, Peanut.

Yeah, right.

Hurry, Lucas, climb the wall.

Climb fast, Peanut.

They're catching up.

Bye-bye, loser.

Climb the wall.

Come on. Climb the wall.

Come on.

Forget it. This game is rigged.

-Ladder.

-Hooyah.

Come on. Let's go. Go, go, go.

We got it. We go it. Yeah, man. All right.

Red rules.

Red team wins.

All right. We did it.

Thanks for trying.

Lucas, you did fine, really.

You just need to discover the ant within.

Start by visualizing yourself with six legs.

-Then, if you--

-How's that gonna get me home?

Look at me. I'm not a stupid ant.

Lucas, being an ant means more

than just having six legs or--

Or lifting 10 times your own weight

or walking vertically up a wall...

...it's being part of a colony.

Not always thinking of yourself first.

-Oh, careful.

-Hey, don't touch me.

I'm trying to help you.

You think this is easy for me?

Being the Destroyer's little helper?

So you worry about you,

and I'll worry about me.

Oh, Lucas.

That's not the way ants are.

Oh, Hova, that's the way I am.

Well, if I could just--

Just what?

Hello? Earth to ant lady.

You were in the middle

of sounding like my mom.

They're coming. Run!

Hey. Hey! What's wrong?

-They're after the herd.

-What herd?

Whoa, easy, girl.

Easy.

Take cover.

Tell the queen I love her.

Oh, we're cut off.

Come, brothers, for queen and colony.

Get to the grass.

Attack formation.

Load them up.

-Enemy fire.

-Watch your wing. Watch your wing.

-Now, that's gotta sting.

-Nice shot.

My turn.

-Thanks.

-Where's Hova?

I don't know.

Come on.

To your positions. Ready.

Squirt.

Don't.

Please, I was just following orders.

Who wants magic?

Clacktiel.

You look tasty.

Leave him alone.

Hova? Oh, quick, get out of my way.

Move.

-Hova.

-Hurry.

Everyone, into the grass.

Don't just stand there. Help her.

Lucas, run.

What are you doing?

Everyone, into the grass.

Where are you...

...little bug?

Please, hurry up. Light, light.

Light, light.

Hova, get down.

Zoc.

No!

Stop, hey! No, no.

Fire in the hole!

-What was that?

-It's bath time.

Retreat.

They're leaving.

We-- We won.

All hail the Destroyer.

Peanut! Peanut!

Brilliant. Genius.

I mean, Lucas made a:

And then...they all flew away.

And now I know

why they call you Peanut.

He's got a brain the size of a peanut.

Lucas the Destroyer.

I take back everything

I thought about you.

You saved us.

Thank you, Lucas.

Yeah, sure.

He saved us.

Oh, it's so obvious, I was so dumb.

Praise the Destroyer.

Wake up. He saved himself.

The rest of us just--

Just got in the way.

Zoc. Oh, are you all right?

-No, I'm--

-What happened to you?

I'm fine. I'm fine.

-You're hurt.

-No, it's nothing, really, I just--

Zoc, do you have any yucca sap?

Lucas has a burn. Poor baby.

This is our enemy.

They do not save ants, they kill ants.

He very nearly killed me.

Or does that not matter to you?

I do, you do

We all like the honeydew

Dinner is served.

And I'm the dessert.

And I'm on a low-fathead diet.

And you know, it looks good on you.

So, Lucas, what are you working on?

Glasses.

This is some good honeydew.

Oh, Lucas, you have to try some.

It's so good.

Go ahead.

This is awesome.

Tastes like green-apple bubble gum.

That went away quick.

Another round for you?

Oh, yeah, keep it coming.

Get it while it's hot.

Whoa, I didn't know

humans could change their colors.

-Trippy.

-Perhaps our young pupa...

...ate too much honeydew.

Here, eat this.

It'll make you feel better.

What did that come out of?

It's an alka root.

Zoc discovered its powers to expel evil

and create well-being.

He is a great wizard.

Yeah, he hates me.

Whoa, he really does, doesn't he?

I mean, he hates your guts.

It's actually amazing

how much he hates your guts.

Okay, I'm sorry.

Yes, Zoc has anger issues,

especially towards humans...

...but he's a true ant.

*** the outside,

but soft on the inside.

Just give him time, Lucas.

Praise the Mother.

Praise the Mother.

Thanks.

Who is this mother

you keep talking about, anyway?

Is it the queen?

No, Lucas, the Ant Mother.

The queen of queens.

She gave birth to the first colony.

To all ants.

Come on. It's time for you to see.

This is the Chamber of the Ages.

What are these?

They tell the story

of our colony, our history.

These are pretty cool.

This is the image of the Ant Mother.

It is said that one day she will return...

...and honeydew will pour

from the sky like rain.

Then we will never go hungry again.

So you actually want warm poop

to fall from the sky?

Yes. That would be a blessed day.

I'm sorry, it's just so beautiful.

Hey, what's that one?

It's the evil one.

The Cloudbreather.

It is ancient, drawn before our time.

No one knows for sure what it is,

except that death is said to follow it.

I think it's just a story used

to scare naughty pupas into behaving.

No, the exterminator.

l-- I gotta cancel him.

I gotta go home now.

But you're not an ant yet.

-Just a quick visit.

-No way, Two Legs.

The humans' nest is strictly forbidden.

Well...

...the colony needs food, right?

Food?

Yeah, sweet rocks.

My house is filled with them.

-In assorted colors and flavors.

-Assorted flavors?

Even the greenies?

Well, you'll be needing a scout.

No. There is no way

you're gonna get me--

-I'm in.

-Come on.

Better be some red ones.

Wow, this is a big nest.

Must have taken thousands

of humans to build this.

-What's that?

-It's just the door.

A door? Fantastic.

Do all of your guests

pass under this door?

Well, actually, you guys

are the first friends I've had over.

We are the first ones?

Kreela, we're the first ones

to pass under the door.

-Great.

-And to think...

...all of this is made from your own poop.
