relieved. Now we only have | |||
to make one decision in life. | |||
BARRY: | |||
But, Adam, how could they | |||
never have told us that? | |||
ADAM: | |||
Why would you question anything? | |||
We're bees. | |||
: | |||
We're the most perfectly | |||
functioning society on Earth. | |||
BARRY: | |||
You ever think maybe things | |||
work a little too well here? | |||
ADAM: | |||
Like what? Give me one example. | |||
(Barry and Adam stop walking and it is revealed to the audience that | |||
hundreds of cars are speeding by and narrowly missing them in perfect | |||
unison) | |||
BARRY: | |||
I don't know. But you know | |||
what I'm talking about. | |||
ANNOUNCER: | |||
Please clear the gate. | |||
Royal Nectar Force on approach. | |||
BARRY: | |||
Wait a second. Check it out. | |||
(The Pollen jocks fly in, circle around and landing in line) | |||
: | |||
- Hey, those are Pollen Jocks! | |||
ADAM: | |||
- Wow. | |||
: | |||
I've never seen them this close. | |||
BARRY: | |||
They know what it's like | |||
outside the hive. | |||
ADAM: | |||
Yeah, but some don't come back. | |||
GIRL BEES: | |||
- Hey, Jocks! | |||
- Hi, Jocks! | |||
(The Pollen Jocks hook up their backpacks to machines that pump the nectar | |||
to trucks, which drive away) | |||
LOU LO DUVA: | |||
You guys did great! | |||
: | |||
You're monsters! | |||
You're sky freaks! | |||
I love it! | |||
(Punching the Pollen Jocks in joy) | |||
I love it! | |||
ADAM: | |||
- I wonder where they were. | |||
BARRY: | |||
- I don't know. | |||
: | |||
Their day's not planned. | |||
: | |||
Outside the hive, flying who knows | |||
where, doing who knows what. | |||
: | |||
You can't just decide to be a Pollen | |||
Jock. You have to be bred for that. | |||
ADAM== | |||
Right. | |||
(Barry and Adam are covered in some pollen that floated off of the Pollen | |||
Jocks) | |||
BARRY: | |||
Look at that. That's more pollen | |||
than you and I will see in a lifetime. | |||
ADAM: | |||
It's just a status symbol. | |||
Bees make too much of it. | |||
BARRY: | |||
Perhaps. Unless you're wearing it | |||
and the ladies see you wearing it. | |||
(Barry waves at 2 girls standing a little away from them) | |||
[[ | ADAM== | ||
Those ladies? | |||
Aren't they our cousins too? | |||
BARRY: | |||
Distant. Distant. | |||
POLLEN JOCK #1: | |||
Look at these two. | |||
POLLEN JOCK #2: | |||
- Couple of Hive Harrys. | |||
POLLEN JOCK #1: | |||
- Let's have fun with them. | |||
GIRL BEE #1: | |||
It must be dangerous | |||
being a Pollen Jock. | |||
BARRY: | |||
Yeah. Once a bear pinned me | |||
against a mushroom! | |||
: | |||
He had a paw on my throat, | |||
and with the other, he was slapping me! | |||
(Slaps Adam with his hand to represent his scenario) | |||
GIRL BEE #2: | |||
- Oh, my! | |||
BARRY: | |||
- I never thought I'd knock him out. | |||
GIRL BEE #1: | |||
(Looking at Adam) | |||
What were you doing during this? | |||
ADAM: | |||
Obviously I was trying to alert the authorities. | |||
BARRY: | |||
I can autograph that. | |||
(The pollen jocks walk up to Barry and Adam, they pretend that Barry and | |||
Adam really are pollen jocks.) | |||
POLLEN JOCK #1: | |||
A little gusty out there today, | |||
wasn't it, comrades? | |||
BARRY: | |||
Yeah. Gusty. | |||
POLLEN JOCK #1: | |||
We're hitting a sunflower patch | |||
six miles from here tomorrow. | |||
BARRY: | |||
- Six miles, huh? | |||
ADAM: | |||
- Barry! | |||
POLLEN JOCK #2: | |||
A puddle jump for us, | |||
but maybe you're not up for it. | |||
BARRY: | |||
- Maybe I am. | |||
ADAM: | |||
- You are not! | |||
POLLEN JOCK #1: | |||
We're going 0900 at J-Gate. | |||
: | |||
What do you think, buzzy-boy? | |||
Are you bee enough? | |||
BARRY: | |||
I might be. It all depends | |||
on what 0900 means. | |||
(The scene cuts to Barry looking out on the hive-city from his balcony at | |||
night) | |||
MARTIN: | |||
Hey, Honex! | |||
BARRY: | |||
Dad, you surprised me. | |||
MARTIN: | |||
You decide what you're interested in? | |||
BARRY: | |||
- Well, there's a lot of choices. | |||
- But you only get one. | |||
: | |||
Do you ever get bored | |||
doing the same job every day? | |||
MARTIN: | |||
Son, let me tell you about stirring. | |||
: | |||
You grab that stick, and you just | |||
move it around, and you stir it around. | |||
: | |||
You get yourself into a rhythm. | |||
It's a beautiful thing. | |||
BARRY: | |||
You know, Dad, | |||
the more I think about it, | |||
: | |||
maybe the honey field | |||
just isn't right for me. | |||
MARTIN: | |||
You were thinking of what, | |||
making balloon animals? | |||
: | |||
That's a bad job | |||
for a guy with a stinger. | |||
: | |||
Janet, your son's not sure | |||
he wants to go into honey! | |||
JANET: | |||
- Barry, you are so funny sometimes. | |||
BARRY: | |||
- I'm not trying to be funny. | |||
MARTIN: | |||
You're not funny! You're going | |||
into honey. Our son, the stirrer! | |||
JANET: | |||
- You're gonna be a stirrer? | |||
BARRY: | |||
- No one's listening to me! | |||
MARTIN: | |||
Wait till you see the sticks I have. | |||
BARRY: | |||
I could say anything right now. | |||
I'm gonna get an ant tattoo! | |||
(Barry's parents don't listen to him and continue to ramble on) | |||
MARTIN: | |||
Let's open some honey and celebrate! | |||
BARRY: | |||
Maybe I'll pierce my thorax. | |||
Shave my antennae. | |||
: | |||
Shack up with a grasshopper. Get | |||
a gold tooth and call everybody "dawg"! | |||
JANET: | |||
I'm so proud. | |||
(The scene cuts to Barry and Adam waiting in line to get a job) | |||
ADAM: | |||
- We're starting work today! | |||
BARRY: | |||
- Today's the day. | |||
ADAM: | |||
Come on! All the good jobs | |||
will be gone. | |||
BARRY: | |||
Yeah, right. | |||
JOB LISTER: | |||
Pollen counting, stunt bee, pouring, | |||
stirrer, front desk, hair removal... | |||
BEE IN FRONT OF LINE: | |||
- Is it still available? | |||
JOB LISTER: | |||
- Hang on. Two left! | |||
: | |||
One of them's yours! Congratulations! | |||
Step to the side. | |||
ADAM: | |||
- What'd you get? | |||
BEE IN FRONT OF LINE: | |||
- Picking crud out. Stellar! | |||
(He walks away) | |||
ADAM: | |||
Wow! | |||
JOB LISTER: | |||
Couple of newbies? | |||
ADAM: | |||
Yes, sir! Our first day! We are ready! | |||
JOB LISTER: | |||
Make your choice. | |||
(Adam and Barry look up at the job board. There are hundreds of constantly | |||
changing panels that contain available or unavailable jobs. It looks very | |||
confusing) | |||
ADAM: | |||
- You want to go first? | |||
BARRY: | |||
- No, you go. | |||
ADAM: | |||
Oh, my. What's available? | |||
JOB LISTER: | |||
Restroom attendant's open, | |||
not for the reason you think. | |||
ADAM: | |||
- Any chance of getting the Krelman? | |||
JOB LISTER: | |||
- Sure, you're on. | |||
(Puts the Krelman finger-hat on Adam's head) | |||
(Suddenly the sign for Krelman closes out) | |||
: | |||
I'm sorry, the Krelman just closed out. | |||
(Takes Adam's hat off) | |||
Wax monkey's always open. | |||
ADAM: | |||
The Krelman opened up again. | |||
: | |||
What happened? | |||
JOB LISTER: | |||
A bee died. Makes an opening. See? | |||
He's dead. Another dead one. | |||
: | |||
Deady. Deadified. Two more dead. | |||
: | |||
Dead from the neck up. | |||
Dead from the neck down. That's life! | |||
ADAM: | |||
Oh, this is so hard! | |||
(Barry remembers what the Pollen Jock offered him and he flies off) | |||
Heating, cooling, | |||
stunt bee, pourer, stirrer, | |||
: | |||
humming, inspector number seven, | |||
lint coordinator, stripe supervisor, | |||
: | |||
mite wrangler. Barry, what | |||
do you think I should... Barry? | |||
(Adam turns around and sees Barry flying away) | |||
: | |||
Barry! | |||
POLLEN JOCK: | |||
All right, we've got the sunflower patch | |||
in quadrant nine... | |||
ADAM: | |||
(Through phone) | |||
What happened to you? | |||
Where are you? | |||
BARRY: | |||
- I'm going out. | |||
ADAM: | |||
- Out? Out where? | |||
BARRY: | |||
- Out there. | |||
ADAM: | |||
- Oh, no! | |||
BARRY: | |||
I have to, before I go | |||
to work for the rest of my life. | |||
ADAM: | |||
You're gonna die! You're crazy! | |||
(Barry hangs up) | |||
Hello? | |||
POLLEN JOCK #2: | |||
Another call coming in. | |||
: | |||
If anyone's feeling brave, | |||
there's a Korean deli on 83rd | |||
: | |||
that gets their roses today. | |||
BARRY: | |||
Hey, guys. | |||
POLLEN JOCK #1 == | |||
- Look at that. | |||
POLLEN JOCK #2: | |||
- Isn't that the kid we saw yesterday? | |||
LOU LO DUVA: | |||
Hold it, son, flight deck's restricted. | |||
POLLEN JOCK #1: | |||
It's OK, Lou. We're gonna take him up. | |||
(Puts hand on Barry's shoulder) | |||
