Peter Griffin explains

ACCORDING TO ALL KNOWN LAWS OF AVIATION, THERE IS NO WAY A BEE SHOULD BE ABLE TO FLY. ITS WINGS ARE TOO SMALL TO GET ITS FAT LITTLE BODY OFF THE GROUND. THE BEE, OF COURSE, FLIES ANYWAY BECAUSE BEES DON'T CARE WHAT HUMANS THINK IS IMPOSSIBLE. YELLOW, BLACK. YELLOW, BLACK. YELLOW, BLACK. YELLOW, BLACK. OOH, BLACK AND YELLOW!

THAT'S WHY WE DON'T NEED VACATIONS. BOY, QUITE A BIT OF POMP... UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. - WELL, ADAM, TODAY WE ARE MEN. - WE ARE! - BEE-MEN. - AMEN! HALLELUJAH!

OF COURSE. MOST BEE JOBS ARE SMALL ONES. BUT BEES KNOW THAT EVERY SMALL JOB, IF IT'S DONE WELL, MEANS A LOT. BUT CHOOSE CAREFULLY BECAUSE YOU'LL STAY IN THE JOB YOU PICK FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. THE SAME JOB THE REST OF YOUR LIFE? I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? YOU'LL BE HAPPY TO KNOW THAT BEES, AS A SPECIES, HAVEN'T HAD ONE DAY OFF IN 27 MILLION YEARS. SO YOU'LL JUST WORK US TO DEATH? WE'LL SURE TRY. WOW! THAT BLEW MY MIND! "WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?" HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT? ONE JOB FOREVER? THAT'S AN INSANE CHOICE TO HAVE TO MAKE. I'M RELIEVED.

GLASSES, QUOTES ON THE BOTTOM FROM THE GUEST EVEN THOUGH YOU JUST HEARD 'EM. BEAR WEEK NEXT WEEK! THEY'RE SCARY, HAIRY AND HERE LIVE. ALWAYS LEANS FORWARD, POINTY SHOULDERS, SQUINTY EYES, VERY JEWISH. IN TENNIS, YOU ATTACK AT THE POINT OF WEAKNESS! IT WAS MY GRANDMOTHER, KEN. SHE'S 81. HONEY, HER BACKHAND'S A JOKE! I'M NOT GONNA TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT? QUIET, PLEASE. ACTUAL WORK GOING ON HERE. - IS THAT THAT SAME BEE? - YES, IT IS! I'M HELPING HIM SUE THE HUMAN RACE. - HELLO. - HELLO, BEE. THIS IS KEN. YEAH, I REMEMBER YOU. TIMBERLAND, SIZE TEN AND A HALF. VIBRAM SOLE, I BELIEVE. WHY DOES HE TALK AGAIN? LISTEN, YOU BETTER GO 'CAUSE WE'RE REALLY BUSY WORKING. BUT IT'S OUR YOGURT NIGHT! BYE-BYE. WHY IS YOGURT NIGHT SO DIFFICULT?! YOU POOR THING. YOU TWO HAVE BEEN AT THIS FOR HOURS! YES, AND ADAM HERE HAS BEEN A HUGE HELP. - FROSTING... - HOW MANY SUGARS? JUST ONE. I TRY NOT TO USE THE COMPETITION. SO WHY ARE YOU HELPING ME? BEES HAVE GOOD QUALITIES. AND IT TAKES MY MIND OFF THE SHOP. INSTEAD OF FLOWERS, PEOPLE ARE GIVING BALLOON BOUQUETS NOW. THOSE ARE GREAT, IF YOU'RE THREE. AND ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS. - OH, THOSE JUST GET ME PSYCHOTIC! - YEAH, ME TOO. BENT STINGERS, POINTLESS POLLINATION. BEES MUST HATE THOSE FAKE THINGS! NOTHING WORSE THAN A DAFFODIL THAT'S HAD WORK DONE. MAYBE THIS COULD MAKE UP FOR IT A LITTLE BIT. - THIS LAWSUIT'S A PRETTY BIG DEAL. - I GUESS. YOU SURE YOU WANT TO GO THROUGH WITH IT? AM I SURE? WHEN I'M DONE WITH THE HUMANS, THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO SAY, "HONEY, I'M HOME," WITHOUT PAYING A ROYALTY! IT'S 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? IT'S PRETTY BIG, ISN'T IT? I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MANY HUMANS DON'T WORK DURING THE DAY. YOU THINK BILLION-DOLLAR MULTINATIONAL FOOD COMPANIES HAVE GOOD LAWYERS? EVERYBODY NEEDS TO STAY BEHIND THE BARRICADE. - WHAT'S THE MATTER? - I DON'T KNOW, I JUST GOT A CHILL. WELL, IF IT ISN'T 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, YOU'RE REPRESENTING THE FIVE FOOD COMPANIES COLLECTIVELY? A PRIVILEGE. MR. BENSON... YOU'RE REPRESENTING ALL THE BEES OF THE WORLD? I'M KIDDING. YES, YOUR HONOR, WE'RE 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 MAN'S DIVINE RIGHT TO BENEFIT FROM THE BOUNTY OF NATURE GOD PUT BEFORE US. IF WE LIVED IN THE TOPSY-TURVY 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 ISN'T SOME SORT OF HOLOGRAPHIC MOTION-PICTURE-CAPTURE 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, THERE'S NO TRICKERY HERE. I'M JUST AN ORDINARY BEE. HONEY'S PRETTY IMPORTANT TO ME. IT'S 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 WE'RE THE LITTLE GUYS! I'M HOPING THAT, AFTER THIS IS ALL OVER, YOU'LL SEE HOW, BY TAKING OUR HONEY, YOU NOT ONLY TAKE EVERYTHING WE HAVE BUT EVERYTHING WE ARE! I WISH HE'D 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 DON'T IMAGINE YOU EMPLOY ANY BEE-FREE-ERS, DO YOU? - NO. - I COULDN'T HEAR YOU. - NO. - NO. BECAUSE YOU DON'T FREE BEES. YOU KEEP BEES. NOT ONLY THAT, IT SEEMS YOU THOUGHT A BEAR WOULD BE AN APPROPRIATE IMAGE FOR A JAR OF HONEY. THEY'RE VERY LOVABLE CREATURES. YOGI BEAR, FOZZIE BEAR, BUILD-A-BEAR. YOU MEAN LIKE THIS? BEARS KILL BEES! HOW'D YOU LIKE HIS HEAD CRASHING THROUGH YOUR LIVING ROOM?! BITING INTO YOUR COUCH! SPITTING OUT YOUR THROW PILLOWS! OK, THAT'S 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 YOU'VE NEVER BEEN A POLICE OFFICER, HAVE YOU? NO, I HAVEN'T. NO, YOU HAVEN'T. AND SO HERE WE HAVE YET ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF BEE CULTURE CASUALLY STOLEN BY A HUMAN FOR NOTHING MORE THAN A PRANCE-ABOUT STAGE NAME. OH, PLEASE. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN STUNG, MR. STING? BECAUSE I'M FEELING A LITTLE STUNG, STING. OR SHOULD I SAY... MR. GORDON M. SUMNER! THAT'S 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 YOU'RE DEVILISHLY HANDSOME WITH A CHURNING INNER TURMOIL THAT'S READY TO BLOW. I ENJOY WHAT I DO. IS THAT A CRIME? NOT YET IT ISN'T. BUT IS THIS WHAT IT'S COME TO FOR YOU? EXPLOITING TINY, HELPLESS BEES SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO REHEARSE YOUR PART AND LEARN YOUR LINES, SIR? WATCH IT, BENSON! I COULD BLOW RIGHT NOW! THIS ISN'T A GOODFELLA. THIS IS A BADFELLA! WHY DOESN'T SOMEONE JUST STEP ON THIS CREEP, AND WE CAN ALL GO HOME?! - ORDER IN THIS COURT! - YOU'RE 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 JURY'S ON OUR SIDE. ARE WE DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT, LEGALLY? I'M A FLORIST. RIGHT. WELL, HERE'S TO A GREAT TEAM. TO A GREAT TEAM! WELL, HELLO. - KEN! - HELLO. I DIDN'T THINK YOU WERE COMING. NO, I WAS JUST LATE. I TRIED TO CALL, BUT... THE BATTERY. I DIDN'T WANT ALL THIS TO GO TO WASTE, SO I CALLED BARRY. LUCKILY, HE WAS FREE. OH, THAT WAS LUCKY. THERE'S A LITTLE LEFT. I COULD HEAT IT UP. YEAH, HEAT IT UP, SURE, WHATEVER. SO I HEAR YOU'RE QUITE A TENNIS PLAYER. I'M NOT MUCH FOR THE GAME MYSELF. THE BALL'S A LITTLE GRABBY. THAT'S WHERE I USUALLY SIT. RIGHT... THERE. KEN, BARRY WAS LOOKING AT YOUR RESUME, AND HE AGREED WITH ME THAT EATING WITH CHOPSTICKS ISN'T REALLY A SPECIAL SKILL. YOU THINK I DON'T SEE WHAT YOU'RE 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. THAT'S JUST WHAT I WAS THINKING ABOUT DOING. KEN, I LET BARRY BORROW YOUR RAZOR FOR HIS FUZZ. I HOPE THAT WAS ALL RIGHT. I'M GOING TO DRAIN THE OLD STINGER. YEAH, YOU DO THAT. LOOK AT THAT. YOU KNOW, I'VE JUST ABOUT HAD IT WITH YOUR LITTLE MIND GAMES. - WHAT'S THAT? - ITALIAN VOGUE. MAMMA MIA, THAT'S A LOT OF PAGES. A LOT OF ADS. REMEMBER WHAT VAN SAID, WHY IS YOUR LIFE MORE VALUABLE THAN MINE? FUNNY, I JUST CAN'T 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, I'M WEARING A OHAPSTICK HAT! THIS IS PATHETIC! I'VE GOT ISSUES! WELL, WELL, WELL, A ROYAL FLUSH! - YOU'RE BLUFFING. - AM I? SURF'S UP, DUDE! POO WATER! THAT BOWL IS GNARLY. EXCEPT FOR THOSE DIRTY YELLOW RINGS! KENNETH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! YOU KNOW, I DON'T EVEN LIKE HONEY! I DON'T EAT IT! WE NEED TO TALK! HE'S JUST A LITTLE BEE! AND HE HAPPENS TO BE THE NICEST BEE I'VE MET IN A LONG TIME! LONG TIME? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! ARE THERE OTHER BUGS IN YOUR LIFE? NO, BUT THERE ARE OTHER THINGS BUGGING ME IN LIFE. AND YOU'RE 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 SUGAR-FREE, ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS MADE BY MAN! I'M SORRY ABOUT ALL THAT. I KNOW IT'S GOT AN AFTERTASTE! I LIKE IT! I ALWAYS FELT THERE WAS SOME KIND OF BARRIER BETWEEN KEN AND ME. I COULDN'T 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 HE'S CONSIDERED ONE OF THE BEST LAWYERS... YEAH. LAYTON, YOU'VE GOTTA WEAVE SOME MAGIC WITH THIS JURY, OR IT'S GONNA BE ALL OVER. DON'T WORRY. THE ONLY THING I HAVE TO DO TO TURN THIS JURY AROUND IS TO REMIND THEM OF WHAT THEY DON'T LIKE ABOUT BEES. - YOU GOT THE TWEEZERS? - ARE YOU ALLERGIC? ONLY TO LOSING, SON. ONLY TO LOSING. MR. BENSON BEE, I'LL ASK YOU WHAT I THINK WE'D ALL LIKE TO KNOW. WHAT EXACTLY IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO THAT WOMAN? WE'RE FRIENDS. - GOOD FRIENDS? - YES. HOW GOOD? DO YOU LIVE TOGETHER? WAIT A MINUTE... ARE YOU HER LITTLE... ...BEDBUG? I'VE SEEN A BEE DOCUMENTARY OR TWO. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, DOESN'T YOUR QUEEN GIVE BIRTH TO ALL THE BEE CHILDREN? - YEAH, BUT... - SO THOSE AREN'T YOUR REAL PARENTS! - OH, BARRY... - YES, THEY ARE! HOLD ME BACK! YOU'RE AN ILLEGITIMATE BEE, AREN'T YOU, BENSON? HE'S DENOUNCING BEES! DON'T Y'ALL DATE YOUR COUSINS? - OBJECTION! - I'M GOING TO PINCUSHION THIS GUY! ADAM, DON'T! IT'S WHAT HE WANTS! OH, I'M HIT!! OH, LORDY, I AM HIT! ORDER! ORDER! THE VENOM! THE VENOM IS COURSING THROUGH MY VEINS! I HAVE BEEN FELLED BY A WINGED BEAST OF DESTRUCTION! YOU SEE? YOU CAN'T TREAT THEM LIKE EQUALS! THEY'RE STRIPED SAVAGES! STINGING'S THE ONLY THING THEY KNOW! IT'S THEIR WAY! - ADAM, STAY WITH ME. - I CAN'T 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, DIDN'T I? IT DOESN'T MATTER. WHAT MATTERS IS YOU'RE ALIVE. YOU COULD HAVE DIED. I'D BE BETTER OFF DEAD. LOOK AT ME. THEY GOT IT FROM THE CAFETERIA DOWNSTAIRS, IN A TUNA SANDWICH. LOOK, THERE'S A LITTLE CELERY STILL ON IT. WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO STING SOMEONE? I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT. IT WAS ALL... ALL ADRENALINE AND THEN... AND THEN ECSTASY! ALL RIGHT. YOU THINK IT WAS ALL A TRAP? OF COURSE. I'M SORRY. I FLEW US RIGHT INTO THIS. WHAT WERE WE THINKING? LOOK AT US. WE'RE JUST A COUPLE OF BUGS IN THIS WORLD. WHAT WILL THE HUMANS DO TO US IF THEY WIN? I DON'T KNOW. I HEAR THEY PUT THE ROACHES IN MOTELS. THAT DOESN'T SOUND SO BAD. ADAM, THEY CHECK IN, BUT THEY DON'T CHECK OUT! OH, MY. OOULD YOU GET A NURSE TO CLOSE THAT WINDOW? - WHY? - THE SMOKE. BEES DON'T SMOKE. RIGHT. BEES DON'T SMOKE. BEES DON'T SMOKE! BUT SOME BEES ARE SMOKING. THAT'S IT! THAT'S OUR CASE! IT IS? IT'S NOT OVER? GET DRESSED. I'VE GOTTA GO SOMEWHERE. GET BACK TO THE COURT AND STALL. STALL ANY WAY YOU CAN. AND ASSUMING YOU'VE DONE STEP CORRECTLY, YOU'RE READY FOR THE TUB. MR. FLAYMAN. YES? YES, YOUR HONOR! WHERE IS THE REST OF YOUR TEAM? WELL, YOUR HONOR, IT'S INTERESTING. BEES ARE TRAINED TO FLY HAPHAZARDLY, AND AS A RESULT, WE DON'T MAKE VERY GOOD TIME. I ACTUALLY HEARD A FUNNY STORY ABOUT... YOUR HONOR, HAVEN'T THESE RIDICULOUS BUGS TAKEN UP ENOUGH OF THIS COURT'S 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, I'M AFRAID I'M GOING TO HAVE TO CONSIDER MR. MONTGOMERY'S MOTION. BUT YOU CAN'T! 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? IT'S A BEE SMOKER! WHAT, THIS? THIS HARMLESS LITTLE CONTRAPTION? THIS COULDN'T 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 MAN-MADE WOODEN SLAT WORK CAMPS? LIVING OUT OUR LIVES AS HONEY SLAVES TO THE WHITE MAN? - WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO? - HE'S 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! HIGH-FIVE! SORRY. I'M OK! YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS? ALL THE HONEY WILL FINALLY BELONG TO THE BEES. NOW WE WON'T HAVE TO WORK SO HARD ALL THE TIME. THIS IS AN UNHOLY PERVERSION OF THE BALANCE OF NATURE, BENSON. YOU'LL 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 MONTGOMERY'S RIGHT? - WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WE'VE BEEN LIVING THE BEE WAY A LONG TIME, 27 MILLION YEARS. OONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR VICTORY. WHAT WILL YOU DEMAND AS A SETTLEMENT? FIRST, WE'LL 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, BAD-BREATH STINK MACHINE. WE'RE ALL AWARE OF WHAT THEY DO IN THE WOODS. WAIT FOR MY SIGNAL. TAKE HIM OUT. HE'LL HAVE NAUSEOUS FOR A FEW HOURS, THEN HE'LL BE FINE. AND WE WILL NO LONGER TOLERATE BEE-NEGATIVE NICKNAMES... BUT IT'S JUST A PRANCE-ABOUT STAGE NAME! ...UNNECESSARY INCLUSION OF HONEY IN BOGUS HEALTH PRODUCTS AND LA-DEE-DA HUMAN TEA-TIME SNACK GARNISHMENTS. OAN'T BREATHE. BRING IT IN, BOYS! HOLD IT RIGHT THERE! GOOD. TAP IT. MR. BUZZWELL, WE JUST PASSED THREE CUPS, AND THERE'S GALLONS MORE COMING! - I THINK WE NEED TO SHUT DOWN! - SHUT DOWN? WE'VE NEVER SHUT DOWN. SHUT DOWN HONEY PRODUCTION! STOP MAKING HONEY! TURN YOUR KEY, SIR! WHAT DO WE DO NOW? OANNONBALL! WE'RE SHUTTING HONEY PRODUCTION! MISSION ABORT. ABORTING POLLINATION AND NECTAR DETAIL. RETURNING TO BASE. ADAM, YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH HONEY WAS OUT THERE. OH, YEAH? WHAT'S GOING ON? WHERE IS EVERYBODY? - ARE THEY OUT CELEBRATING? - THEY'RE HOME. THEY DON'T 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 WOULDN'T? IT'S 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 CAN'T. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY'RE NOT HAPPY. I THOUGHT THEIR LIVES WOULD BE BETTER! THEY'RE DOING NOTHING. IT'S AMAZING. HONEY REALLY CHANGES PEOPLE. YOU DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT'S 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. THEY'RE ALL WILTING. DOESN'T LOOK VERY GOOD, DOES IT? NO. AND WHOSE FAULT DO YOU THINK THAT IS? YOU KNOW, I'M GONNA GUESS BEE
