On August 9, 1945, Nikocado wanted to take a nice vacation to Nagasaki, Japan. During the trip, he was marveling over the city's beautiful sights, pressing up against the door of the helicopter in which he rode in to get a better view. Unfortunately, the door was not secured properly, and Nikocado was unable to steady himself, resulting in the fat man flailing and plummeting towards the city below. Upon impact with the ground, he created a crater so deep the entire city of Nagasaki was instantly pulverized, effectively ending the war. Nikocado's mass and gravity bent space and time, resulting in the immediate surrender of Japan. This incident was known as the Fat Man.

In the aftermath Nagasaki's destruction, the Japanese government took ownership of Nikocado, keeping him hidden from the public as a weapon of mass destruction. In an effort to maintain anonymity, the Japanese government required Nikocado to lose weight and switched him to a vegan diet. During this time, the government made a horrifying discovery: Nikocado wasn't human. Instead, he was a disguise for an entity known as the Avogodo. According to ancient folkore of the Avocado People, the emergence of the Avogodo signaled an era of unending darkness, destined to shroud the world for ten thousand years.

For many years, Orlin worked tirelessly as Nikocado's content grew more bizarre and excessive. The amounts of food consumed became more and more copious, with videos such as "EATING $3.6 MILLION WORTH OF GOLD JEWELLERY • MUKBANG" and "How many Flintstones Gummy Vitamins will make me 400 pounds?" being proof of his ever-escalating diet choices. As the line between the Nikocado persona and the Avogodo entity blurred, Orlin's stress increased.

Orlin's efforts turned out to be futile in a video on the Nikocado Avocado channel showing his last appearance: "How much Bath Salts will make me 400 pounds? Orlin Mukbang." Viewers watched in horror as the unspeakable happened: Nikocado devoured Orlin. In hindsight, the warning signs were there from the start; he also ate the many pets they used to own such as Noodle the Parrot, some sloth that bit his finger and his first mobility scooter. His second mobilty scooter died from being flung by a trebutchet.

he picked, looking in the mirror. BARRY (CONT’D) Yeah, let’s shake it up a little.
He picks the black and yellow one. He then goes to the sink, takes the top off a
CONTAINER OF HONEY, and puts some honey into his hair. He squirts some in his mouth
and gargles. Then he takes the lid off the bottle, and rolls some on like deodorant.

up at Barry. JANET BENSON Barry, breakfast is ready! CUT TO: "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS

antennae vibrate as they RING like a phone. Barry’s hands are wet. He looks around
for a towel. BARRY (CONT’D) Hang on a second! He wipes his hands on his sweater,
and pulls his antennae down to his ear and mouth. BARRY (CONT'D) Hello? His best
friend, ADAM FLAYMAN, is on the other end. ADAM Barry? BARRY Adam? ADAM Can you
believe this is happening? BARRY Can’t believe it. I’ll pick you up. Barry sticks
his stinger in a sharpener. SFX: BUZZING AS HIS STINGER IS SHARPENED. He tests the
sharpness with his finger. SFX: Bing. BARRY (CONT’D) Looking sharp. ANGLE ON: Barry
hovering down the hall, sliding down the staircase bannister. Barry’s mother, JANET
BENSON, is in the kitchen. JANET BENSON Barry, why don’t you use the stairs? Your
father paid good money for those. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 2. BARRY Sorry,
I’m excited. Barry’s father, MARTIN BENSON, ENTERS. He’s reading a NEWSPAPER with
the HEADLINE, “Queen gives birth to thousandtuplets: Resting Comfortably.” MARTIN
BENSON Here’s the graduate. We’re very proud of you, Son. And a perfect report card,
all B’s. JANET BENSON (mushing Barry’s hair) Very proud. BARRY Ma! I’ve got a thing
going here. Barry re-adjusts his hair, starts to leave. JANET BENSON You’ve got
some lint on your fuzz. She picks it off. BARRY Ow, that’s me! MARTIN BENSON Wave

stops in front of Adam. Adam jumps in. BARRY Hey, Adam. ADAM Hey, Barry. (pointing
at Barry’s hair) Is that fuzz gel? BARRY A little. It’s a special day. Finally graduating.
ADAM I never thought I’d make it. BARRY Yeah, three days of grade school, three
days of high school. ADAM Those were so awkward. BARRY Three days of college. I’m
glad I took off one day in the middle and just hitchhiked around the hive. ADAM
You did come back different. They drive by a bee who’s jogging. ARTIE Hi Barry!
BARRY (to a bee pedestrian) Hey Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good. Barry and
Adam drive from the suburbs into the city. ADAM Hey, did you hear about Frankie?
"Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 4. BARRY Yeah. ADAM You going to his funeral?
BARRY No, I’m not going to his funeral. Everybody knows you sting someone you die,
you don’t waste it on a squirrel. He was such a hot head. ADAM Yeah, I guess he
could’ve just gotten out of the way. The DRIVE through a loop de loop. BARRY AND
ADAM Whoa...Whooo...wheee!! ADAM I love this incorporating the amusement park right
into our regular day. BARRY I guess that’s why they say we don’t need vacations.

Barry hits Adam’s forehead. Adam goes into the rapture. An announcement comes over
the PA. ANNOUNCER (V.O) Students, faculty, distinguished bees...please welcome,

And that concludes our graduation ceremonies. And begins your career at Honex Industries.
BARRY Are we going to pick our job today? ADAM I heard it’s just orientation. The
rows of chairs change in transformer-like mechanical motion to Universal Studios
type tour trams. Buzzwell walks off stage. BARRY (re: trams) Whoa, heads up! Here
we go. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 6. SEQ. 125 - “FACTORY” FEMALE VOICE (V.O)
Keep your hands and antennas inside the tram at all times. (in Spanish) Dejen las

Group.” TRUDY Welcome to Honex, a division of Honesco, and a part of the Hexagon
group. BARRY This is it! The Honex doors OPEN, revealing the factory. BARRY (CONT’D)
Wow. TRUDY We know that you, as a bee, have worked your whole life to get to the
point where you can work for your whole life. Honey begins when our valiant pollen
jocks bring the nectar to the hive where our top secret formula is automatically
color-corrected, scent adjusted and bubble contoured into this... Trudy GRABS a

crowd, and laughs as they all scramble for it. ANGLE ON: A GIRL BEE catching the
honey. ADAM (sotto) That girl was hot. BARRY (sotto) She’s my cousin. ADAM She is?
BARRY Yes, we’re all cousins. ADAM Right. You’re right. TRUDY At Honex, we also
constantly strive to improve every aspect of bee existence. These bees are stress
testing a new helmet technology. ANGLE ON: A STUNT BEE in a HELMET getting hit with
a NEWSPAPER, then a SHOE, then a FLYSWATTER. He gets up, and gives a “thumb’s up”.
The graduate bees APPLAUD. ADAM (re: stunt bee) What do you think he makes? BARRY
Not enough. TRUDY And here we have our latest advancement, the Krelman. "Bee Movie"
- JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 8. BARRY Wow, what does that do? TRUDY Catches that little
strand of honey that hangs after you pour it. Saves us millions. ANGLE ON: The Krelman
machine. Bees with hand-shaped hats on, rotating around a wheel to catch drips of
honey. Adam’s hand shoots up. ADAM Can anyone work on the Krelman? TRUDY Of course.
Most bee jobs are small ones. But bees know that every small job, if it’s done well,
means a lot. There are over 3000 different bee occupations. But choose carefully,
because you’ll stay in the job that you pick for the rest of your life. The bees
CHEER. ANGLE ON: Barry’s smile dropping slightly. BARRY The same job for the rest
of your life? I didn’t know that. ADAM What’s the difference? TRUDY And you’ll be
happy to know that bees as a species haven’t had one day off in 27 million years.
BARRY So you’ll just work us to death? TRUDY (laughing) We’ll sure try. Everyone
LAUGHS except Barry. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 9. The tram drops down a
log-flume type steep drop. Cameras flash, as all the bees throw up their hands.
The frame freezes into a snapshot. Barry looks concerned. The tram continues through
2 doors. FORM DISSOLVE TO: SEQ. 175 - “WALKING THE HIVE” INT. HONEX LOBBY ANGLE
ON: The log-flume photo, as Barry looks at it. ADAM Wow. That blew my mind. BARRY
(annoyed) “What’s the difference?” Adam, how could you say that? One job forever?
That’s an insane choice to have to make. ADAM Well, I’m relieved. Now we only have
to make one decision in life. BARRY But Adam, how could they never have told us
that? ADAM Barry, why would you question anything? We’re bees. We’re the most perfectly
functioning society on Earth. They walk by a newspaper stand with A SANDWICH BOARD
READING: “Bee Goes Berserk: Stings Seven Then Self.” ANGLE ON: A BEE filling his
car’s gas tank from a honey pump. He fills his car some, then takes a swig for himself.
NEWSPAPER BEE (to the bee guzzling gas) Hey! Barry and Adam begin to cross the street.
"Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 10. BARRY Yeah but Adam, did you ever think that
maybe things work a little too well around here? They stop in the middle of the
street. The traffic moves perfectly around them. ADAM Like what? Give me one example.

Royal Nectar Force on approach. BARRY Wait a second. Check it out. Hey, hey, those

entrance. The Patrol Bees are wearing fighter pilot helmets with black visors. ADAM
(CONT’D) I’ve never seen them this close. BARRY They know what it’s like to go outside
the hive. ADAM Yeah, but some of them don’t come back. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS
8/13/07 11. The nectar from the pollen jocks is removed from their backpacks, and
loaded into trucks on their way to Honex. A SMALL CROWD forms around the Patrol
Bees. Each one has a PIT CREW that takes their nectar. Lou Loduca hurries a pit
crew along: LOU LODUCA You guys did great! You’re monsters. You’re sky freaks! I
love it! I love it! SCHOOL GIRLS are jumping up and down and squealing nearby. BARRY
I wonder where those guys have just been? ADAM I don’t know. BARRY Their day’s not
planned. Outside the hive, flying who-knows-where, doing who-knows-what. ADAM You
can’t just decide one day to be a Pollen Jock. You have to be bred for that. BARRY
Right. Pollen Jocks cross in close proximity to Barry and Adam. Some pollen falls
off, onto Barry and Adam. BARRY (CONT’D) Look at that. That’s more pollen than you
and I will ever see in a lifetime. ADAM (playing with the pollen) It’s just a status
symbol. I think bees make too big a deal out of it. BARRY Perhaps, unless you’re
wearing it, and the ladies see you wearing it. ANGLE ON: Two girl bees. "Bee Movie"
- JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 12. ADAM Those ladies? Aren’t they our cousins too? BARRY
Distant, distant. ANGLE ON: TWO POLLEN JOCKS. JACKSON Look at these two. SPLITZ
Couple of Hive Harrys. JACKSON Let’s have some fun with them. The pollen jocks approach.
Barry and Adam continue to talk to the girls. GIRL 1 It must be so dangerous being
a pollen jock. BARRY Oh yeah, one time a bear had me pinned up against a mushroom.
He had one paw on my throat, and with the other he was slapping me back and forth
across the face. GIRL 1 Oh my. BARRY I never thought I’d knock him out. GIRL 2 (to
Adam) And what were you doing during all of this? ADAM Obviously I was trying to
alert the authorities. The girl swipes some pollen off of Adam with a finger. BARRY

13. JACKSON Little gusty out there today, wasn’t it, comrades? BARRY Yeah. Gusty.
BUZZ You know, we’re going to hit a sunflower patch about six miles from here tomorrow.
BARRY Six miles, huh? ADAM (whispering) Barry. BUZZ It’s a puddle-jump for us. But
maybe you’re not up for it. BARRY Maybe I am. ADAM (whispering louder) You are not!
BUZZ We’re going, oh-nine hundred at JGate. ADAM (re: j-gate) Whoa. BUZZ (leaning
in, on top of Barry) What do you think, Buzzy Boy? Are you bee enough? BARRY I might
be. It all depends on what oh-nine hundred means. CUT TO: SEQ. 450 - “THE BALCONY”

Dad. You surprised me. MARTIN BENSON (laughing) Have you decided what you’re interested
in, Son? BARRY Well, there’s a lot of choices. MARTIN BENSON But you only get one.
Martin LAUGHS. BARRY Dad, do you ever get bored doing the same job every day? MARTIN
BENSON Son, let me tell you something about stirring. (making the stirring motion)
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 BENSON And you were
thinking of what, making balloon animals? That’s a bad job for a guy with a stinger.
"Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 15. BARRY Well no... MARTIN BENSON Janet, your
son’s not sure he wants to go into honey. JANET BENSON Oh Barry, you are so funny
sometimes. BARRY I’m not trying to be funny. MARTIN BENSON You’re not funny, you’re
going into honey. Our son, the stirrer. JANET BENSON You’re going to be a stirrer?!
BARRY No one’s listening to me. MARTIN BENSON Wait until you see the sticks I have
for you. BARRY I can say anything I want right now. I’m going to get an ant tattoo.
JANET BENSON Let’s open some fresh honey and celebrate. BARRY Maybe I’ll pierce
my thorax! MARTIN BENSON (toasting) To honey! BARRY Shave my antennae! JANET BENSON

those petunia's, you striped stem-suckers! All of you, drain those flowers! A FLIGHT
DECK GUY in deep crouch hand-signals them out the archway as the backwash from the

THE JOCKS” The bees climb above tree tops in formation. Barry is euphoric. BARRY
Whoa! I’m out! I can’t believe I’m out! So blue. Ha ha ha! (a beat) I feel so fast...and
free. (re: kites in the sky) Box kite! Wow! They fly by several bicyclists, and
approach a patch of flowers. BARRY (CONT'D) Flowers! SPLITZ This is blue leader.
We have roses visual. Bring it around thirty degrees and hold. BARRY (sotto) Roses.
JACKSON Thirty degrees, roger, bringing it around. Many pollen jocks break off from
the main group. They use their equipment to collect nectar from flowers. Barry flies
down to watch the jocks collect the nectar. JOCK Stand to the side kid, it’s got
a bit of a kick. The jock fires the gun, and recoils. Barry watches the gun fill
up with nectar. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 23. BARRY Oh, that is one Nectar
Collector. JOCK You ever see pollination up close? BARRY No, Sir. He takes off,
and the excess pollen dust falls causing the flowers to come back to life. JOCK
(as he pollinates) I pick some pollen up over here, sprinkle it over here, maybe
a dash over there, pinch on that one...see that? It’s a little bit of magic, ain’t
it? The FLOWERS PERK UP as he pollinates. BARRY Wow. That’s amazing. Why do we do
that? JOCK ...that’s pollen power, Kid. More pollen, more flowers, more nectar,
more honey for us. BARRY Cool. The Jock WINKS at Barry. Barry rejoins the other
jocks in the sky. They swoop in over a pond, kissing the surface. We see their image
reflected in the water; they’re really moving. They fly over a fountain. BUZZ I’m
picking up a lot of bright yellow, could be daisies. Don’t we need those? SPLITZ
Copy that visual. We see what appear to be yellow flowers on a green field. "Bee
Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 24. They go into a deep bank and dive. BUZZ Hold on,
one of these flowers seems to be on the move. SPLITZ Say again...Are you reporting
a moving flower? BUZZ Affirmative. SEQ. 900 - “TENNIS GAME” The pollen jocks land.
It is a tennis court with dozens of tennis balls. A COUPLE, VANESSA and KEN, plays
tennis. The bees land right in the midst of a group of balls. KEN (O.C) That was
on the line! The other bees start walking around amongst the immense, yellow globes.
SPLITZ This is the coolest. What is it? They stop at a BALL on a white line and
look up at it. JACKSON I don’t know, but I’m loving this color. SPLITZ (smelling
tennis ball) Smells good. Not like a flower. But I like it. JACKSON Yeah, fuzzy.
BUZZ Chemical-y. JACKSON Careful, guys, it’s a little grabby. Barry LANDS on a ball
and COLLAPSES. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 25. BARRY Oh my sweet lord of
bees. JACKSON Hey, candy brain, get off there! Barry attempts to pulls his legs
off, but they stick. BARRY Problem! A tennis shoe and a hand ENTER FRAME. The hand
picks up the ball with Barry underneath it. BARRY (CONT'D) Guys! BUZZ This could
be bad. JACKSON Affirmative. Vanessa walks back to the service line, BOUNCES the
ball. Each time it BOUNCES, the other bees cringe and GASP. ANGLE ON: Barry, terrified.
Pure dumb luck, he’s not getting squished. BARRY (with each bounce) Very close...Gonna
Hurt...Mamma’s little boy. SPLITZ You are way out of position, rookie. ANGLE ON:
Vanessa serving. We see Barry and the ball up against the racket as she brings it
back. She tosses the ball into the air; Barry’s eyes widen. The ball is STRUCK,
and the rally is on. KEN Coming in at you like a missile! Ken HITS the ball back.
Barry feels the g-forces. ANGLE ON: The Pollen Jocks watching Barry pass by them
in SLOW MOTION. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 26. BARRY (in slow motion) Help
me! JACKSON You know, I don't think these are flowers. SPLITZ Should we tell him?
JACKSON I think he knows. BARRY (O.S) What is this?! Vanessa HITS a high arcing
lob. Ken waits, poised for the return. We see Barry having trouble maneuvering the
ball from fatigue. KEN (overly confident) Match point! ANGLE ON: Ken running up.
He has a killer look in his eyes. He’s going to hit the ultimate overhead smash.
KEN (CONT'D) You can just start packing up Honey, because I believe you’re about
to eat it! ANGLE ON: Pollen Jocks. JACKSON Ahem! Ken is distracted by the jock.
KEN What? No! He misses badly. The ball rockets into oblivion. Barry is still hanging
on. ANGLE ON: Ken, berating himself. KEN (CONT’D) Oh, you cannot be serious. We
hear the ball WHISTLING, and Barry SCREAMING. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07

in the middle of the street. It bounces into the street again, and sticks in the
grille of an SUV. INT. CAR ENGINE - CONTINUOUS BARRY’S POV: the grille of the SUV
sucks him up. He tumbles through a black tunnel, whirling vanes, and pistons. BARRY

FATHER, eight-year old BOY, LITTLE GIRL in a car seat and a GRANDMOTHER. A big slobbery
DOG is behind a grate. Barry pops into the passenger compartment, hitting the Mother’s
magazine. MOTHER There’s a bee in the car! They all notice the bee and start SCREAMING.
BARRY Aaahhhh! Barry tumbles around the car. We see the faces from his POV. MOTHER
Do something! "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 28. FATHER I’m driving! Barry flies
by the little girl in her CAR SEAT. She waves hello. LITTLE GIRL Hi, bee. SON He’s
back here! He’s going to sting me! The car SWERVES around the road. Barry flies
into the back, where the slobbery dog SNAPS at him. Barry deftly avoids the jaws
and gross, flying SPITTLE. MOTHER Nobody move. If you don’t move, he won’t sting
you. Freeze! Everyone in the car freezes. Barry freezes. They stare at each other,
eyes going back and forth, waiting to see who will make the first move. Barry blinks.
GRANNY He blinked! Granny pulls out a can of HAIR SPRAY. SON Spray him, Granny!
Granny sprays the hair spray everywhere. FATHER What are you doing? GRANNY It’s

then sucked out of the sunroof. CUT TO: "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 29. EXT.

I’ve got to get home. As Barry flies down the street, it starts to RAIN. He nimbly
avoids the rain at first. BARRY (CONT’D) Whoa. Whoa! Can’t fly in rain! Can’t fly
in rain! Can’t fly in-- A couple of drops hit him, his wings go limp and he starts
falling. BARRY (CONT'D) Mayday! Mayday! Bee going down! Barry sees a window ledge
and aims for it and just makes it. Shivering and exhausted, he crawls into an open
window as it CLOSES. SEQ. 1100 - “VANESSA SAVES BARRY” INT. VANESSA’S APARTMENT

Andy, and Anna ENTER the apartment. VANESSA Ken, can you close the window please?
KEN Huh? Oh. (to Andy) Hey, check out my new resume. I made it into a fold-out brochure.
You see? It folds out. Ken holds up his brochure, with photos of himself, and a
resume in the middle. ANGLE ON: Barry hiding behind the curtains, as Ken CLOSES

BARRY (CONT'D) Maybe this time...this time, this time, this time, this time, this

breath) Drapes! (then, re: glass) That is diabolical. KEN It’s fantastic. It’s got
all my special skills, even my top ten favorite movies. ANDY What’s your number
one? Star Wars? KEN Ah, I don’t go for that, (makes Star Wars noises), kind of stuff.
ANGLE ON: Barry. BARRY No wonder we’re not supposed to talk to them. They’re out
of their minds. KEN When I walk out of a job interview they’re flabbergasted. They
can’t believe the things I say. Barry looks around and sees the LIGHT BULB FIXTURE
in the middle of the ceiling. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 31. BARRY (re:
light bulb) Oh, there’s the sun. Maybe that’s a way out. Barry takes off and heads
straight for the light bulb. His POV: The seventy-five watt label grows as he gets
closer. BARRY (CONT’D) I don’t remember the sun having a big seventy five on it.
Barry HITS the bulb and is KNOCKED SILLY. He falls into a BOWL OF GUACAMOLE. Andy
dips his chip in the guacamole, taking Barry with it. ANGLE ON: Ken and Andy. KEN
I’ll tell you what. You know what? I predicted global warming. I could feel it getting
hotter. At first I thought it was just me. Barry’s POV: Giant human mouth opening.
KEN (CONT’D) Wait! Stop! Beeeeeee! ANNA Kill it! Kill it! They all JUMP up from
their chairs. Andy looks around for something to use. Ken comes in for the kill
with a big TIMBERLAND BOOT on each hand. KEN Stand back. These are winter boots.
Vanessa ENTERS, and stops Ken from squashing Barry. VANESSA (grabs Ken’s arm) Wait.
Don’t kill him. CLOSE UP: on Barry’s puzzled face. KEN You know I’m allergic to
them. This thing could kill me. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 32. VANESSA Why
does his life have any less value than yours? She takes a GLASS TUMBLER and places
it over Barry. KEN Why does his life have any less value than mine? Is that your
statement? VANESSA I’m just saying, all life has value. You don’t know what he’s
capable of feeling. Barry looks up through the glass and watches this conversation,
astounded. Vanessa RIPS Ken’s resume in half and SLIDES it under the glass. KEN
(wistful) My brochure. There’s a moment of eye contact as she carries Barry to the
window. She opens it and sets him free. VANESSA There you go, little guy. KEN (O.C)
I’m not scared of them. But, you know, it’s an allergic thing. ANDY (O.C) * Hey,
why don’t you put that on your * resume-brochure? * KEN (O.C) It’s not funny, my

I could really get in trouble. He stands looking at Vanessa. BARRY (CONT'D) It’s

if it wasn’t for you...I mean, I had to thank you. It’s just the way I was raised.

to a bee. BARRY Anyway... VANESSA And a bee is talking to me... BARRY I just want

BARRY Got everything? VANESSA All set. Vanessa gets into a one-man Ultra Light plane

Oh, to be in the Tournament of Roses, that’s every florist’s dream. Up on a float,
surrounded by flowers, crowds cheering. BARRY Wow, a tournament. Do the roses actually
compete in athletic events? VANESSA No. Alright, I’ve got one. How come you don’t
fly everywhere? BARRY It’s exhausting. Why don’t you run everywhere? VANESSA Hmmm.
BARRY Isn’t that faster? VANESSA Yeah, okay. I see, I see. Alright, your turn. Barry

BARRY Ah! Tivo. You can just freeze live TV? That’s insane. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS

sting. It’s usually fatal for us. VANESSA So you really have to watch your temper?
They ENTER a SUPERMARKET. CUT TO: INT. SUPERMARKET BARRY Oh yeah, very carefully.
You kick a wall, take a walk, write an angry letter and throw it out. You work through

of some cardboard boxes in the middle of an aisle. A stock boy, HECTOR, whacks him
with a rolled up magazine. VANESSA (to Barry) Oh my goodness. Are you okay? "Bee

pushes him, and Hector EXITS, muttering. BARRY (shaking it off) What was that, a

VANESSA I’ll bet. Barry stops, sees the wall of honey jars. BARRY What, in the name

VANESSA Well yes, we-- BARRY How do you even get it? VANESSA Well, bees make it...
BARRY I know who makes it! And it’s hard to make it! There’s Heating and Cooling,

honey, making a SNAPPING noise. Hector stops and turns. HECTOR (CONT’D) He is here.
I sense it. Hector grabs his BOX CUTTER. Barry REACTS, hides himself behind the
box again. HECTOR (CONT’D) (talking too loud, to no one in particular) Well, I guess
I’ll go home now, and just leave this nice honey out, with no one around. A BEAT.
Hector pretends to exit. He takes a couple of steps in place. ANGLE ON: The honey

are some people in this room who think they can take whatever they want from us
cause we’re the little guys. And what I’m hoping is that after this is all over,

Vanessa are having a candle light dinner. Visible behind Barry is a “LITTLE MISSY”
SET BOX, with the flaps open. BARRY Well, I just think that was awfully nice of
that bear to pitch in like that. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 78. VANESSA
I’m telling you, I think the jury’s on our side. BARRY Are we doing everything right...you
know, legally? VANESSA I’m a florist. BARRY Right, right. Barry raises his glass.
BARRY (CONT’D) Well, here’s to a great team. VANESSA To a great team. They toast.
Ken ENTERS KEN Well hello. VANESSA Oh...Ken. BARRY Hello. VANESSA I didn’t think
you were coming. KEN No, I was just late. I tried to call. But, (holding his cell
phone) the battery... VANESSA I didn’t want all this to go to waste, so I called
Barry. Luckily he was free. BARRY Yeah. KEN (gritting his teeth) Oh, that was lucky.
"Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 79. VANESSA Well, there’s still a little left.
I could heat it up. KEN Yeah, heat it up. Sure, whatever. Vanessa EXITS. Ken and
Barry look at each other as Barry eats. BARRY So, I hear you’re quite a tennis player.
I’m not much for the game myself. I find the ball a little grabby. KEN That’s where
I usually sit. Right there. VANESSA (O.C) Ken, Barry was looking at your resume,
and he agreed with me that “eating with chopsticks” isn’t really a special skill.
KEN (to Barry) You think I don’t see what you’re doing? BARRY Hey look, I know how
hard it is trying to find the right job. We certainly have that in common. KEN Do
we? BARRY Well, bees have 100% employment, of course. But we do jobs like taking
the crud out. KEN That’s just what I was thinking about doing. Ken holds his table
knife up. It slips out of his hand. He goes under the table to pick it up. "Bee
Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 80. VANESSA Ken, I let Barry borrow your razor for
his fuzz. I hope that was alright. Ken hits his head on the table. BARRY I’m going
to go drain the old stinger. KEN Yeah, you do that. Barry EXITS to the bathroom,
grabbing a small piece of a VARIETY MAGAZINE on the way. BARRY Oh, look at that.
Ken slams the champagne down on the table. Ken closes his eyes and buries his face
in his hands. He grabs a magazine on the way into the bathroom. SEQ. 2800 - “BARRY
FIGHTS KEN” INT. BATHROOM - CONTINUOUS Ken ENTERS, closes the door behind him. He’s
not happy. Barry is washing his hands. He glances back at Ken. KEN You know, I’ve
just about had it with your little mind games. BARRY What’s that? KEN Italian Vogue.
BARRY Mamma Mia, that’s a lot of pages. KEN It’s a lot of ads. BARRY Remember what
Van said. Why is your life any more valuable than mine? "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS
8/13/07 81. KEN It’s funny, I just can’t seem to recall that! Ken WHACKS at Barry
with the magazine. He misses and KNOCKS EVERYTHING OFF THE VANITY. Ken grabs a can
of AIR FRESHENER. KEN (CONT'D) I think something stinks in here. He sprays at Barry.
BARRY I love the smell of flowers. KEN Yeah? How do you like the smell of flames?
Ken lights the stream. BARRY Not as much. Barry flies in a circle. Ken, trying to
stay with him, spins in place. ANGLE ON: Flames outside the bathroom door. Ken slips
on the Italian Vogue, falls backward into the shower, pulling down the shower curtain.
The can hits him in the head, followed by the shower curtain rod, and the rubber
duck. Ken reaches back, grabs the handheld shower head. He whips around, looking
for Barry. ANGLE ON: A WATERBUG near the drain. WATERBUG Waterbug. Not taking sides.
Barry is on the toilet tank. He comes out from behind a shampoo bottle, wearing
a chapstick cap as a helmet. BARRY Ken, look at me! I’m wearing a chapstick hat.
This is pathetic. ANGLE ON: Ken turning the hand shower nozzle from “GENTLE”, to
“TURBO”, to “LETHAL”. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 82. KEN I’ve got issues!
Ken fires the water at Barry, knocking him into the toilet. The items from the vanity
(emory board, lipstick, eye curler, etc.) are on the toilet seat. Ken looks down
at Barry. KEN (CONT'D) Well well well, a royal flush. BARRY You’re bluffing. KEN
Am I? Ken flushes the toilet. Barry grabs the Emory board and uses it to surf. He
puts his hand in the water while he’s surfing. Some water splashes on Ken. BARRY
Surf’s up, dude! KEN Awww, poo water! He does some skate board-style half-pipe riding.
Barry surfs out of the toilet. BARRY That bowl is gnarly. Ken tries to get a shot
at him with the toilet brush. KEN Except for those dirty yellow rings. Vanessa ENTERS.
VANESSA Kenneth! What are you doing? KEN You know what? I don’t even like honey!
I don’t eat it! VANESSA We need to talk! "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 83.
She pulls Ken out by his ear. Ken glares at Barry. CUT TO: INT. HALLWAY - CONTINUOUS
VANESSA He’s just a little bee. And he happens to be the nicest bee I’ve met in
a long time. KEN Long time? What are you talking about? Are there other bugs in
your life? VANESSA No, but there are other things bugging me in life. And you’re
one of them! KEN Fine! Talking bees, no yogurt night...my nerves are fried from
riding on this emotional rollercoaster. VANESSA Goodbye, Ken. KEN Augh! VANESSA
Whew! Ken EXITS, then re-enters frame. KEN And for your information, I prefer sugar-free,
artificial sweeteners, made by man! He EXITS again. The DOOR SLAMS behind him. VANESSA
(to Barry) I’m sorry about all that. Ken RE-ENTERS. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07
84. KEN I know it’s got an aftertaste! I like it! BARRY (re: Ken) I always felt
there was some kind of barrier between Ken and me. (puts his hands in his pockets)
I couldn’t overcome it. Oh well. VANESSA Are you going to be okay for the trial
tomorrow? BARRY Oh, I believe Mr. Montgomery is about out of ideas. CUT TO: SEQ.
3300 - “ADAM STINGS MONTY” INT. COURTROOM - NEXT DAY ANGLE ON: Medium shot of Montgomery
standing at his table. MONTGOMERY We would like to call Mr. Barry Benson Bee to
the stand. ADAM (whispering to Vanessa) Now that’s a good idea. (to Barry) You can
really see why he’s considered one of the very best lawyers-- Oh. Barry rolls his
eyes. He gets up, takes the stand. A juror in a striped shirt APPLAUDS. MR. GAMMIL
(whispering) Layton, you’ve got to weave some magic with this jury, or it’s going
to be all over. Montgomery is holding a BOOK, “The Secret Life of Bees”. "Bee Movie"
- JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 85. MONTGOMERY (confidently whispering) Oh, don’t worry Mr.
Gammil. The only thing I have to do to turn this jury around is to remind them of
what they don’t like about bees. (to Gammil) You got the tweezers? Mr. Gammil NODS,
and pats his breast pocket. MR. GAMMIL Are you allergic? MONTGOMERY Only to losing,
son. Only to losing. Montgomery approaches the stand. MONTGOMERY (CONT’D) Mr. Benson
Bee. I’ll ask you what I think we’d all like to know. What exactly is your relationship
to that woman? Montgomery points to Vanessa. BARRY We’re friends. MONTGOMERY Good
friends? BARRY Yes. MONTGOMERY (softly in Barry’s face) How good? BARRY What? MONTGOMERY
Do you live together? BARRY Wait a minute, this isn’t about-- "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS
8/13/07 86. MONTGOMERY Are you her little... (clearing throat) ... bed bug? BARRY
(flustered) Hey, that’s not the kind of-- MONTGOMERY I’ve seen a bee documentary
or two. Now, from what I understand, doesn’t your Queen give birth to all the bee
children in the hive? BARRY Yeah, but-- MONTGOMERY So those aren’t even your real
parents! ANGLE ON: Barry’s parents. MARTIN BENSON Oh, Barry. BARRY Yes they are!
ADAM Hold me back! Vanessa holds him back with a COFFEE STIRRER. Montgomery points
to Barry’s parents. MONTGOMERY You’re an illegitimate bee, aren’t you Benson? ADAM
He’s denouncing bees! All the bees in the courtroom start to HUM. They’re agitated.
MONTGOMERY And don’t y’all date your cousins? "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07
87. VANESSA (standing, letting go of Adam) Objection! Adam explodes from the table
and flies towards Montgomery. ADAM I’m going to pin cushion this guy! Montgomery
turns around and positions himself by the judge’s bench. He sticks his butt out.
Montgomery winks at his team. BARRY Adam, don’t! It’s what he wants! Adam shoves
Barry out of the way. Adam STINGS Montgomery in the butt. The jury REACTS, aghast.
MONTGOMERY Ow! I’m hit! Oh, lordy, I am hit! The judge BANGS her gavel. JUDGE Order!
Order! Please, Mr. Montgomery. MONTGOMERY The venom! The venom is coursing through
my veins! I have been felled by a wing-ed beast of destruction. You see? You can’t
treat them like equals. They’re strip-ed savages! Stinging’s the only thing they
know! It’s their way! ANGLE ON: Adam, collapsed on the floor. Barry rushes to his
side. BARRY Adam, stay with me. ADAM I can’t feel my legs. Montgomery falls on the
Bailiff. BAILIFF Take it easy. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 88. MONTGOMERY
Oh, what angel of mercy will come forward to suck the poison from my heaving buttocks?
The JURY recoils. JUDGE Please, I will have order in this court. Order! Order, please!
FADE TO: SEQ. 3400 - “ADAM AT HOSPITAL” INT. HOSPITAL - STREET LEVEL ROOM - DAY
PRESS PERSON #1 (V.O) The case of the honey bees versus the human race took a pointed
turn against the bees yesterday, when one of their legal team stung Layton T. Montgomery.
Now here’s Don with the 5-day. A NURSE lets Barry into the room. Barry CARRIES a
FLOWER. BARRY Thank you. Barry stands over Adam, in a bed. Barry lays the flower
down next to him. The TV is on. BARRY (CONT'D) Hey buddy. ADAM Hey. BARRY Is there
much pain? Adam has a BEE-SIZED PAINKILLER HONEY BUTTON near his head that he presses.
ADAM (pressing the button) Yeah...I blew the whole case, didn’t I? "Bee Movie" -
JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 89. BARRY Oh, it doesn’t matter. The important thing is you’re
alive. You could have died. ADAM I’d be better off dead. Look at me. Adam THROWS
the blanket off his lap, revealing a GREEN SANDWICH SWORD STINGER. ADAM (CONT’D)
(voice cracking) They got it from the cafeteria, they got it from downstairs. In
a tuna sandwich. Look, there’s a little celery still on it. BARRY What was it like
to sting someone? ADAM I can’t explain it. It was all adrenaline...and then...ecstasy.
Barry looks at Adam. BARRY Alright. ADAM You think that was all a trap? BARRY 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. ADAM What do you think the humans will
do to us if they win? BARRY I don’t know. ADAM I hear they put the roaches in motels.
That doesn’t sound so bad. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 90. BARRY Adam, they
check in, but they don’t check out. Adam GULPS. ADAM Oh my. ANGLE ON: the hospital
window. We see THREE PEOPLE smoking outside on the sidewalk. The smoke drifts in.
Adam COUGHS. ADAM (CONT’D) Say, could you get a nurse to close that window? BARRY
Why? ADAM The smoke. Bees don’t smoke. BARRY Right. Bees don’t smoke. Bees don’t
smoke! But some bees are smoking. Adam, that’s it! That’s our case. Adam starts
putting his clothes on. ADAM It is? It’s not over? BARRY No. Get up. Get dressed.
I’ve got to go somewhere. You get back the court and stall. Stall anyway you can.
CUT TO: SEQ. 3500 - “SMOKING GUN” INT. COURTROOM - THE NEXT DAY Adam is folding
a piece of paper into a boat. ADAM ...and assuming you’ve done step 29 correctly,
you’re ready for the tub. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 91. ANGLE ON: The jury,
all with paper boats of their own. JURORS Ooh. ANGLE ON: Montgomery frustrated with
Gammil, who’s making a boat also. Monty crumples Gammil’s boat, and throws it at
him. JUDGE Mr. Flayman? ADAM Yes? Yes, Your Honor? JUDGE Where is the rest of your
team? ADAM (fumbling with his swordstinger) Well, your honor, it’s interesting.
You know Bees are trained to fly kind of haphazardly and as a result quite often
we don’t make very good time. I actually once heard a pretty funny story about a
bee-- MONTGOMERY Your Honor, haven’t these ridiculous bugs taken up enough of this
court’s valuable time? Montgomery rolls out from behind his table. He’s suspended
in a LARGE BABY CHAIR with wheels. MONTGOMERY (CONT'D) How much longer are we going
to allow these absurd shenanigans to go on? They have presented no compelling evidence
to support their charges against my clients who have all run perfectly legitimate
businesses. I move for a complete dismissal of this entire case. JUDGE Mr. Flayman,
I am afraid I am going to have to consider Mr. Montgomery’s motion. "Bee Movie"
- JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 92. ADAM But you can’t. We have a terrific case. MONTGOMERY
Where is your proof? Where is the evidence? Show me the smoking gun. Barry bursts
through the door. BARRY Hold it, your honor. You want a smoking gun? Here is your
smoking gun. Vanessa ENTERS, holding a bee smoker Vanessa slams the beekeeper's
SMOKER onto the judge’s bench. JUDGE What is that? BARRY It’s a Bee smoker. Montgomery
GRABS the smoker. MONTGOMERY What, this? This harmless little contraption? This
couldn’t hurt a fly, let alone a bee. He unintentionally points it towards the bee
gallery, KNOCKING THEM ALL OUT. The jury GASPS. The press SNAPS pictures of them.
BARRY Members of the jury, 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 these smoke machines in man-made wooden slat work camps? Living out our lives
as honey slaves to the white man? Barry gestures dramatically towards Montgomery's
racially mixed table. The BLACK LAWYER slowly moves his chair away. GAMMIL What
are we going to do? "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 93. MONTGOMERY (to Pross)
He's playing the species card. Barry lands on the scale of justice, by the judge’s
bench. It balances as he lands. BARRY Ladies and gentlemen, please, FreeThese-Bees!
ANGLE ON: Jury, chanting "Free the bees". JUDGE The court finds in favor of the
bees. The chaos continues. Barry flies over to Vanessa, with his hand up for a “high
5”. BARRY Vanessa, we won! VANESSA Yay! I knew you could do it. Highfive! She high
5’s Barry, sending him crashing to the table. He bounces right back up. VANESSA
(CONT'D) Oh, sorry. BARRY Ow!! I’m okay. Vanessa, do you know what this means? All
the honey is finally going to belong to the bees. Now we won’t have to work so hard
all the time. Montgomery approaches Barry, surrounded by the press. The cameras
and microphones go to Montgomery. MONTGOMERY (waving a finger) This is an unholy
perversion of the balance of nature, Benson! You’ll regret this. ANGLE ON: Barry’s
‘deer in headlights’ expression, as the press pushes microphones in his face. "Bee
Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 94. PRESS PERSON 1 Barry, how much honey do you think
is out there? BARRY Alright, alright, one at a time... SARAH Barry, who are you
wearing? BARRY Uhhh, my sweater is Ralph Lauren, and I have no pants. The Press
follows Barry as he EXITS. ANGLE ON: Adam and Vanessa. ADAM (putting papers away)
What if Montgomery’s right? VANESSA What do you mean? ADAM We’ve been living the
bee way a long time. 27 million years. DISSOLVE TO: SEQ. 3600 - “HONEY ROUNDUP”
EXT. HONEY FARMS APIARY - MONTAGE SARAH (V.O) Congratulations on your victory. What
are you going to demand as a settlement? BARRY (V.O) (over montage) First, we’re
going to demand a complete shutdown of all bee work camps. Then, we want to get
back all 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, big-headed,
bad breath, stink-machine. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 95. I believe we’re
all aware of what they do in the woods. We will no longer tolerate derogatory beenegative
nick-names, unnecessary inclusion of honey in bogus health products, and la-dee-da
tea-time human snack garnishments. MONTAGE IMAGES: Close-up on an ATF JACKET, with
the YELLOW LETTERS. Camera pulls back. We see an ARMY OF BEE AND HUMAN AGENTS wearing

SHOOTS the bear. It hits him in the shoulder. The bear looks at it. He gets woozy
and the honey jar falls out of his lap, an ATF&H agent catches it. "Bee Movie" -
JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 96. BARRY (V.O) (CONT'D) ATF&H AGENT (to the bear’s pig friend)
He’ll have a little nausea for a few hours, then he’ll be fine. CUT TO: EXT. STING’S

aside, and grabs her bottle of shampoo. The woman SCREAMS. The agent turns to the

shaking his head and writing in his clipboard. CUT TO: EXT. SUPERMARKET CAFE - MONTAGE

We’ve never shutdown. ANGLE ON: Buzzwell overlooking the factory floor. BUZZWELL
Shutdown honey production! Stop making honey! ANGLE ON: TWO BEES, each with a KEY.
BUZZWELL (CONT’D) Turn your key, Sir! They turn the keys simultaneously, War Games-style,
shutting down the honey machines. ANGLE ON: the Taffy-Pull machine, Centrifuge,

Adam’s office is in disarray. There are papers everywhere. He’s filling up his cardboard

out there. ADAM Oh yeah? BARRY What’s going on around here? Where is everybody?
Are they out celebrating? "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 100. ADAM (exiting
with a cardboard box of belongings) No, they’re just home. They don’t know what
to do. BARRY Hmmm. ADAM They’re laying out, they’re sleeping in. I heard your Uncle
Carl was on his way to San Antonio with a cricket. BARRY At least we got our honey
back. They walk through the empty factory. ADAM Yeah, but sometimes I think, so
what if the humans liked our honey? Who wouldn’t? It’s the greatest thing in the
world. I was excited to be a part of making it. ANGLE ON: Adam’s desk on it’s side

VANESSA Doesn’t look very good, does it? BARRY No. VANESSA And who’s fault do you
think that is? "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 102. BARRY Mmmm...you know, I’m
going to guess, bees. VANESSA Bees? BARRY Specifically me. I guess I didn’t think
that bees not needing to make honey would affect all these other things. VANESSA
And it’s not just flowers. Fruits, vegetables...they all need bees. BARRY Well,
that’s our whole SAT test right there. VANESSA So, you take away the produce, that
affects the entire animal kingdom. And then, of course... BARRY The human species?
VANESSA (clearing throat) Ahem! BARRY Oh. So, if there’s no more pollination, it
could all just go south here, couldn’t it? VANESSA And I know this is also partly
my fault. Barry takes a long SIGH. BARRY How about a suicide pact? VANESSA (not
sure if he’s joking) How would we do it? BARRY I’ll sting you, you step on me. "Bee

made a huge mistake! This is a total disaster, and it’s all my fault! VANESSA Yes,
it kind of is. BARRY I’ve ruined the planet. And, I wanted to help with your flower
shop. Instead, I’ve made it worse. VANESSA Actually, it’s completely closed down.
BARRY Oh, I thought maybe you were remodeling. Nonetheless, I have another idea.
And it’s greater than all my previous great ideas combined. VANESSA I don’t want
to hear it. Vanessa closes the change box on Barry. BARRY (opening it again) Alright,
here’s what I’m thinking. They have the roses, the roses have the pollen. I know
every bee, plant, and flower bud in this park. All we’ve got to do is get what they’ve
got back here with what we’ve got. VANESSA Bees... BARRY Park... VANESSA Pollen...

Dustbuster. Barry runs across the bald head. BARRY Wait a minute! I’m an attorney!
CO-PILOT Who’s an attorney? PILOT Don’t move. The pilot uses the Dustbuster to try
and mash Barry, who is hovering in front of the co-pilot’s nose, and knocks out

Mr. Ditchwater, the way we work may be a mystery to you, because making honey takes
a lot of bees doing a lot of small jobs. But let me tell you something about a small
job. If you do it really well, it makes a big difference. More than we realized.
To us, to everyone. That’s why I want to get bees back to doing what we do best.

READING: “Bee Goes Berserk: Stings Seven Then Self.” ANGLE ON: A BEE filling his
car’s gas tank from a honey pump. He fills his car some, then takes a swig for himself.
NEWSPAPER BEE (to the bee guzzling gas) Hey! Barry and Adam begin to cross the street.
"Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 10. BARRY Yeah but Adam, did you ever think that
maybe things work a little too well around here? They stop in the middle of the
street. The traffic moves perfectly around them. ADAM Like what? Give me one example.
BARRY (thinks) ...I don’t know. But you know what I’m talking about. They walk off.
SEQ. 400 - “MEET THE JOCKS” SFX: The SOUND of Pollen Jocks. PAN DOWN from the Honex

Royal Nectar Force on approach. BARRY Wait a second. Check it out. Hey, hey, those
are Pollen jocks. ADAM Wow. FOUR PATROL BEES FLY in through the hive’s giant Gothic
entrance. The Patrol Bees are wearing fighter pilot helmets with black visors. ADAM
(CONT’D) I’ve never seen them this close. BARRY They know what it’s like to go outside
the hive. ADAM Yeah, but some of them don’t come back. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS
8/13/07 11. The nectar from the pollen jocks is removed from their backpacks, and
loaded into trucks on their way to Honex. A SMALL CROWD forms around the Patrol
Bees. Each one has a PIT CREW that takes their nectar. Lou Loduca hurries a pit
crew along: LOU LODUCA You guys did great! You’re monsters. You’re sky freaks! I
love it! I love it! SCHOOL GIRLS are jumping up and down and squealing nearby. BARRY
I wonder where those guys have just been? ADAM I don’t know. BARRY Their day’s not
planned. Outside the hive, flying who-knows-where, doing who-knows-what. ADAM You
can’t just decide one day to be a Pollen Jock. You have to be bred for that. BARRY
Right. Pollen Jocks cross in close proximity to Barry and Adam. Some pollen falls
off, onto Barry and Adam. BARRY (CONT’D) Look at that. That’s more pollen than you
and I will ever see in a lifetime. ADAM (playing with the pollen) It’s just a status
symbol. I think bees make too big a deal out of it. BARRY Perhaps, unless you’re
wearing it, and the ladies see you wearing it. ANGLE ON: Two girl bees. "Bee Movie"

Distant, distant. ANGLE ON: TWO POLLEN JOCKS. JACKSON Look at these two. SPLITZ
Couple of Hive Harrys. JACKSON Let’s have some fun with them. The pollen jocks approach.
Barry and Adam continue to talk to the girls. GIRL 1 It must be so dangerous being
a pollen jock. BARRY Oh yeah, one time a bear had me pinned up against a mushroom.
He had one paw on my throat, and with the other he was slapping me back and forth
across the face. GIRL 1 Oh my. BARRY I never thought I’d knock him out. GIRL 2 (to
Adam) And what were you doing during all of this? ADAM Obviously I was trying to
alert the authorities. The girl swipes some pollen off of Adam with a finger. BARRY
(re: pollen) I can autograph that if you want. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07
13. JACKSON Little gusty out there today, wasn’t it, comrades? BARRY Yeah. Gusty.
BUZZ You know, we’re going to hit a sunflower patch about six miles from here tomorrow.
BARRY Six miles, huh? ADAM (whispering) Barry. BUZZ It’s a puddle-jump for us. But
maybe you’re not up for it. BARRY Maybe I am. ADAM (whispering louder) You are not!
BUZZ We’re going, oh-nine hundred at JGate. ADAM (re: j-gate) Whoa. BUZZ (leaning

Martin LAUGHS. BARRY Dad, do you ever get bored doing the same job every day? MARTIN
BENSON Son, let me tell you something about stirring. (making the stirring motion)
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 BENSON And you were
thinking of what, making balloon animals? That’s a bad job for a guy with a stinger.
"Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 15. BARRY Well no... MARTIN BENSON Janet, your
son’s not sure he wants to go into honey. JANET BENSON Oh Barry, you are so funny
sometimes. BARRY I’m not trying to be funny. MARTIN BENSON You’re not funny, you’re
going into honey. Our son, the stirrer. JANET BENSON You’re going to be a stirrer?!
BARRY No one’s listening to me. MARTIN BENSON Wait until you see the sticks I have
for you. BARRY I can say anything I want right now. I’m going to get an ant tattoo.
JANET BENSON Let’s open some fresh honey and celebrate. BARRY Maybe I’ll pierce
my thorax! MARTIN BENSON (toasting) To honey! BARRY Shave my antennae! JANET BENSON

BUZZWELL Well, whenever a bee dies, that’s an opening. (pointing at the board) See

those petunia's, you striped stem-suckers! All of you, drain those flowers! A FLIGHT
DECK GUY in deep crouch hand-signals them out the archway as the backwash from the
bee wings FLUTTERS his jump suit. Barry follows everyone. SEQ. 800 - “FLYING WITH
THE JOCKS” The bees climb above tree tops in formation. Barry is euphoric. BARRY
Whoa! I’m out! I can’t believe I’m out! So blue. Ha ha ha! (a beat) I feel so fast...and
free. (re: kites in the sky) Box kite! Wow! They fly by several bicyclists, and
approach a patch of flowers. BARRY (CONT'D) Flowers! SPLITZ This is blue leader.
We have roses visual. Bring it around thirty degrees and hold. BARRY (sotto) Roses.
JACKSON Thirty degrees, roger, bringing it around. Many pollen jocks break off from
the main group. They use their equipment to collect nectar from flowers. Barry flies
down to watch the jocks collect the nectar. JOCK Stand to the side kid, it’s got
a bit of a kick. The jock fires the gun, and recoils. Barry watches the gun fill
up with nectar. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 23. BARRY Oh, that is one Nectar
Collector. JOCK You ever see pollination up close? BARRY No, Sir. He takes off,
and the excess pollen dust falls causing the flowers to come back to life. JOCK
(as he pollinates) I pick some pollen up over here, sprinkle it over here, maybe
a dash over there, pinch on that one...see that? It’s a little bit of magic, ain’t
it? The FLOWERS PERK UP as he pollinates. BARRY Wow. That’s amazing. Why do we do
that? JOCK ...that’s pollen power, Kid. More pollen, more flowers, more nectar,
more honey for us. BARRY Cool. The Jock WINKS at Barry. Barry rejoins the other
jocks in the sky. They swoop in over a pond, kissing the surface. We see their image
reflected in the water; they’re really moving. They fly over a fountain. BUZZ I’m
picking up a lot of bright yellow, could be daisies. Don’t we need those? SPLITZ
Copy that visual. We see what appear to be yellow flowers on a green field. "Bee
Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 24. They go into a deep bank and dive. BUZZ Hold on,
one of these flowers seems to be on the move. SPLITZ Say again...Are you reporting
a moving flower? BUZZ Affirmative. SEQ. 900 - “TENNIS GAME” The pollen jocks land.
It is a tennis court with dozens of tennis balls. A COUPLE, VANESSA and KEN, plays
tennis. The bees land right in the midst of a group of balls. KEN (O.C) That was
on the line! The other bees start walking around amongst the immense, yellow globes.
SPLITZ This is the coolest. What is it? They stop at a BALL on a white line and
look up at it. JACKSON I don’t know, but I’m loving this color. SPLITZ (smelling
tennis ball) Smells good. Not like a flower. But I like it. JACKSON Yeah, fuzzy.
BUZZ Chemical-y. JACKSON Careful, guys, it’s a little grabby. Barry LANDS on a ball
and COLLAPSES. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 25. BARRY Oh my sweet lord of
bees. JACKSON Hey, candy brain, get off there! Barry attempts to pulls his legs
off, but they stick. BARRY Problem! A tennis shoe and a hand ENTER FRAME. The hand
picks up the ball with Barry underneath it. BARRY (CONT'D) Guys! BUZZ This could
be bad. JACKSON Affirmative. Vanessa walks back to the service line, BOUNCES the
ball. Each time it BOUNCES, the other bees cringe and GASP. ANGLE ON: Barry, terrified.
Pure dumb luck, he’s not getting squished. BARRY (with each bounce) Very close...Gonna
Hurt...Mamma’s little boy. SPLITZ You are way out of position, rookie. ANGLE ON:
Vanessa serving. We see Barry and the ball up against the racket as she brings it
back. She tosses the ball into the air; Barry’s eyes widen. The ball is STRUCK,

Barry feels the g-forces. ANGLE ON: The Pollen Jocks watching Barry pass by them
in SLOW MOTION. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 26. BARRY (in slow motion) Help

JACKSON I think he knows. BARRY (O.S) What is this?! Vanessa HITS a high arcing
lob. Ken waits, poised for the return. We see Barry having trouble maneuvering the
ball from fatigue. KEN (overly confident) Match point! ANGLE ON: Ken running up.
He has a killer look in his eyes. He’s going to hit the ultimate overhead smash.
KEN (CONT'D) You can just start packing up Honey, because I believe you’re about
to eat it! ANGLE ON: Pollen Jocks. JACKSON Ahem! Ken is distracted by the jock.
KEN What? No! He misses badly. The ball rockets into oblivion. Barry is still hanging
on. ANGLE ON: Ken, berating himself. KEN (CONT’D) Oh, you cannot be serious. We
hear the ball WHISTLING, and Barry SCREAMING. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07

FATHER, eight-year old BOY, LITTLE GIRL in a car seat and a GRANDMOTHER. A big slobbery
DOG is behind a grate. Barry pops into the passenger compartment, hitting the Mother’s

BARRY Aaahhhh! Barry tumbles around the car. We see the faces from his POV. MOTHER
Do something! "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 28. FATHER I’m driving! Barry flies
by the little girl in her CAR SEAT. She waves hello. LITTLE GIRL Hi, bee. SON He’s
back here! He’s going to sting me! The car SWERVES around the road. Barry flies
into the back, where the slobbery dog SNAPS at him. Barry deftly avoids the jaws
and gross, flying SPITTLE. MOTHER Nobody move. If you don’t move, he won’t sting
you. Freeze! Everyone in the car freezes. Barry freezes. They stare at each other,
eyes going back and forth, waiting to see who will make the first move. Barry blinks.
GRANNY He blinked! Granny pulls out a can of HAIR SPRAY. SON Spray him, Granny!
Granny sprays the hair spray everywhere. FATHER What are you doing? GRANNY It’s

in rain! Can’t fly in-- A couple of drops hit him, his wings go limp and he starts
falling. BARRY (CONT'D) Mayday! Mayday! Bee going down! Barry sees a window ledge

window as it CLOSES. SEQ. 1100 - “VANESSA SAVES BARRY” INT. VANESSA’S APARTMENT

BARRY (CONT'D) Maybe this time...this time, this time, this time, this time, this

breath) Drapes! (then, re: glass) That is diabolical. KEN It’s fantastic. It’s got
all my special skills, even my top ten favorite movies. ANDY What’s your number
one? Star Wars? KEN Ah, I don’t go for that, (makes Star Wars noises), kind of stuff.
ANGLE ON: Barry. BARRY No wonder we’re not supposed to talk to them. They’re out
of their minds. KEN When I walk out of a job interview they’re flabbergasted. They
can’t believe the things I say. Barry looks around and sees the LIGHT BULB FIXTURE
in the middle of the ceiling. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 31. BARRY (re:
light bulb) Oh, there’s the sun. Maybe that’s a way out. Barry takes off and heads
straight for the light bulb. His POV: The seventy-five watt label grows as he gets
closer. BARRY (CONT’D) I don’t remember the sun having a big seventy five on it.
Barry HITS the bulb and is KNOCKED SILLY. He falls into a BOWL OF GUACAMOLE. Andy
dips his chip in the guacamole, taking Barry with it. ANGLE ON: Ken and Andy. KEN

hotter. At first I thought it was just me. Barry’s POV: Giant human mouth opening.

their chairs. Andy looks around for something to use. Ken comes in for the kill
with a big TIMBERLAND BOOT on each hand. KEN Stand back. These are winter boots.
Vanessa ENTERS, and stops Ken from squashing Barry. VANESSA (grabs Ken’s arm) Wait.
Don’t kill him. CLOSE UP: on Barry’s puzzled face. KEN You know I’m allergic to
them. This thing could kill me. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 32. VANESSA Why

it over Barry. KEN Why does his life have any less value than mine? Is that your
statement? VANESSA I’m just saying, all life has value. You don’t know what he’s
capable of feeling. Barry looks up through the glass and watches this conversation,
astounded. Vanessa RIPS Ken’s resume in half and SLIDES it under the glass. KEN
(wistful) My brochure. There’s a moment of eye contact as she carries Barry to the
window. She opens it and sets him free. VANESSA There you go, little guy. KEN (O.C)
I’m not scared of them. But, you know, it’s an allergic thing. ANDY (O.C) * Hey,

He walks by Barry’s table shaking a honey packet. MONTGOMERY Well, if it isn’t the
B-Team. (re: the honey packet) Any of you boys work on this? He CHUCKLES. The JUDGE
ENTERS. SEQ. 3000 - “WITNESSES” BAILIFF All rise! The Honorable Judge Bumbleton
presiding. JUDGE (shuffling papers) Alright...Case number 4475, Superior Court of
New York. Barry Bee Benson vs. the honey industry, is now in session. Mr. Montgomery,
you are representing the five major food companies, collectively. ANGLE ON: Montgomery’s
BRIEFCASE. It has an embossed emblem of an EAGLE, holding a gavel in one talon and
a briefcase in the other. MONTGOMERY A privilege. JUDGE Mr. Benson. Barry STANDS.
JUDGE (CONT’D) You are representing all bees of the world? "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS
8/13/07 72. Montgomery, the stenographer, and the jury lean in. CUT TO: EXT. COURTHOUSE

Yes, your honor. We are ready to proceed. ANGLE ON: Courtroom hub-bub. JUDGE And
Mr. Montgomery, your opening statement, please. Montgomery rises. MONTGOMERY (grumbles,
clears his throat) 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 were to live in the topsy-turvy world
Mr. Benson imagines, just think of what it would mean. Maybe I would have to negotiate
with the silk worm 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, cloning...for all we know he could
be on steroids! Montgomery leers at Barry, who moves to the stand. "Bee Movie" -
JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 73. JUDGE Mr. Benson? Barry makes his opening statement. BARRY
Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, there’s no trickery here. I’m just an ordinary
bee. And as a 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 whatever they want from us
cause we’re the little guys. And what I’m hoping is that after this is all over,
you’ll see how by taking our honey, you’re not only taking away everything we have,
but everything we are. ANGLE ON: Vanessa smiling. ANGLE ON: The BEE GALLERY wiping
tears away. CUT TO: INT. BENSON HOUSE Barry’s family is watching the case on TV.
JANET BENSON Oh, I wish he would dress like that all the time. So nice... CUT TO:

8/13/07 74. INT. COURTHOUSE - LATER BARRY So, Mr. Klauss Vanderhayden of Honey Farms.
Pretty big company you have there? MR. VANDERHAYDEN I suppose so. BARRY And I see
you also own HoneyBurton, and Hon-Ron. MR. VANDERHAYDEN Yes. They provide beekeepers
for our farms. BARRY Beekeeper. I find that to be a very disturbing term, I have
to say. I don’t imagine you employ any bee free-ers, do you? MR. VANDERHAYDEN No.
BARRY I’m sorry. I couldn’t hear you. MR. VANDERHAYDEN (louder) No. BARRY No. Because
you don’t free bees. You keep bees. And not only that, it seems you thought a bear
would be an appropriate image for a jar of honey? MR. VANDERHAYDEN Well, they’re
very lovable creatures. Yogi-bear, Fozzy-bear, Build-a-bear. BARRY Yeah, you mean
like this?! Vanessa and the SUPERINTENDANT from her building ENTER with a GIANT
FEROCIOUS GRIZZLY BEAR. He has a neck collar and chains extending from either side.
"Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 75. By pulling the chains, they bring him directly
in front of Vanderhayden. The bear LUNGES and ROARS. BARRY (CONT'D) Bears kill bees!
How would you like his big hairy head crashing into your living room? Biting into
your couch, spitting out your throwpillows...rowr, rowr! The bear REACTS. BEAR Rowr!!
BARRY Okay, that’s enough. Take him away. Vanessa and the Superintendant pull the
bear out of the courtroom. Vanderhayden TREMBLES. The judge GLARES at him. CUT TO:
INT. COURTROOM- A LITTLE LATER Barry questions STING. BARRY So, Mr. Sting. Thank
you for being here. Your name intrigues me, I have to say. Where have I heard it
before? STING I was with a band called "The Police". BARRY But you've never been
a police officer of any kind, have you? STING No, I haven't. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS
8/13/07 76. BARRY No, you haven’t. And so, here we have yet another example of bee
culture being casually stolen by a human for nothing more than a prance-about stage
name. STING Oh please. BARRY Have you ever been stung, Mr. Sting? Because I'm feeling
a little stung, Sting. Or should I say, (looking in folder) Mr. Gordon M. Sumner?
The jury GASPS. MONTGOMERY (to his aides) That’s not his real name? You idiots!
CUT TO: INT. COURTHOUSE- LATER BARRY Mr. Liotta, first may I offer my belated congratulations
on your Emmy win for a guest spot on E.R. in 2005. LIOTTA Thank you. Thank you.
Liotta LAUGHS MANIACALLY. BARRY I also see from your resume that you’re devilishly
handsome, but with a churning inner turmoil that’s always ready to blow. LIOTTA
I enjoy what I do. Is that a crime? "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 77. BARRY
Not yet it isn’t. But is this what it’s come to for you, Mr. Liotta? Exploiting
tiny helpless bees so you don’t have to rehearse your part, and learn your lines,
Sir? LIOTTA Watch it Benson, I could blow right now. BARRY This isn’t a goodfella.
This is a badfella! LIOTTA (exploding, trying to smash Barry with the Emmy) Why
doesn’t someone just step on this little creep and we can all go home? You’re all
thinking it. Say it! JUDGE Order! Order in this courtroom! A MONTAGE OF NEWSPAPER

that bear to pitch in like that. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 78. VANESSA
I’m telling you, I think the jury’s on our side. BARRY Are we doing everything right...you
know, legally? VANESSA I’m a florist. BARRY Right, right. Barry raises his glass.
BARRY (CONT’D) Well, here’s to a great team. VANESSA To a great team. They toast.
Ken ENTERS KEN Well hello. VANESSA Oh...Ken. BARRY Hello. VANESSA I didn’t think
you were coming. KEN No, I was just late. I tried to call. But, (holding his cell
phone) the battery... VANESSA I didn’t want all this to go to waste, so I called
Barry. Luckily he was free. BARRY Yeah. KEN (gritting his teeth) Oh, that was lucky.
"Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 79. VANESSA Well, there’s still a little left.
I could heat it up. KEN Yeah, heat it up. Sure, whatever. Vanessa EXITS. Ken and
Barry look at each other as Barry eats. BARRY So, I hear you’re quite a tennis player.
I’m not much for the game myself. I find the ball a little grabby. KEN That’s where
I usually sit. Right there. VANESSA (O.C) Ken, Barry was looking at your resume,
and he agreed with me that “eating with chopsticks” isn’t really a special skill.
KEN (to Barry) You think I don’t see what you’re doing? BARRY Hey look, I know how
hard it is trying to find the right job. We certainly have that in common. KEN Do
we? BARRY Well, bees have 100% employment, of course. But we do jobs like taking
the crud out. KEN That’s just what I was thinking about doing. Ken holds his table
knife up. It slips out of his hand. He goes under the table to pick it up. "Bee
Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 80. VANESSA Ken, I let Barry borrow your razor for
his fuzz. I hope that was alright. Ken hits his head on the table. BARRY I’m going
to go drain the old stinger. KEN Yeah, you do that. Barry EXITS to the bathroom,
grabbing a small piece of a VARIETY MAGAZINE on the way. BARRY Oh, look at that.
Ken slams the champagne down on the table. Ken closes his eyes and buries his face
in his hands. He grabs a magazine on the way into the bathroom. SEQ. 2800 - “BARRY
FIGHTS KEN” INT. BATHROOM - CONTINUOUS Ken ENTERS, closes the door behind him. He’s
not happy. Barry is washing his hands. He glances back at Ken. KEN You know, I’ve
just about had it with your little mind games. BARRY What’s that? KEN Italian Vogue.
BARRY Mamma Mia, that’s a lot of pages. KEN It’s a lot of ads. BARRY Remember what
Van said. Why is your life any more valuable than mine? "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS
8/13/07 81. KEN It’s funny, I just can’t seem to recall that! Ken WHACKS at Barry
with the magazine. He misses and KNOCKS EVERYTHING OFF THE VANITY. Ken grabs a can
of AIR FRESHENER. KEN (CONT'D) I think something stinks in here. He sprays at Barry.
BARRY I love the smell of flowers. KEN Yeah? How do you like the smell of flames?
Ken lights the stream. BARRY Not as much. Barry flies in a circle. Ken, trying to
stay with him, spins in place. ANGLE ON: Flames outside the bathroom door. Ken slips
on the Italian Vogue, falls backward into the shower, pulling down the shower curtain.
The can hits him in the head, followed by the shower curtain rod, and the rubber
duck. Ken reaches back, grabs the handheld shower head. He whips around, looking
for Barry. ANGLE ON: A WATERBUG near the drain. WATERBUG Waterbug. Not taking sides.
Barry is on the toilet tank. He comes out from behind a shampoo bottle, wearing
a chapstick cap as a helmet. BARRY Ken, look at me! I’m wearing a chapstick hat.
This is pathetic. ANGLE ON: Ken turning the hand shower nozzle from “GENTLE”, to
“TURBO”, to “LETHAL”. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 82. KEN I’ve got issues!
Ken fires the water at Barry, knocking him into the toilet. The items from the vanity
(emory board, lipstick, eye curler, etc.) are on the toilet seat. Ken looks down
at Barry. KEN (CONT'D) Well well well, a royal flush. BARRY You’re bluffing. KEN
Am I? Ken flushes the toilet. Barry grabs the Emory board and uses it to surf. He
puts his hand in the water while he’s surfing. Some water splashes on Ken. BARRY
Surf’s up, dude! KEN Awww, poo water! He does some skate board-style half-pipe riding.
Barry surfs out of the toilet. BARRY That bowl is gnarly. Ken tries to get a shot
at him with the toilet brush. KEN Except for those dirty yellow rings. Vanessa ENTERS.
VANESSA Kenneth! What are you doing? KEN You know what? I don’t even like honey!
I don’t eat it! VANESSA We need to talk! "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 83.

your life? VANESSA No, but there are other things bugging me in life. And you’re
one of them! KEN Fine! Talking bees, no yogurt night...my nerves are fried from
riding on this emotional rollercoaster. VANESSA Goodbye, Ken. KEN Augh! VANESSA
Whew! Ken EXITS, then re-enters frame. KEN And for your information, I prefer sugar-free,
artificial sweeteners, made by man! He EXITS again. The DOOR SLAMS behind him. VANESSA

there was some kind of barrier between Ken and me. (puts his hands in his pockets)

Montgomery winks at his team. BARRY Adam, don’t! It’s what he wants! Adam shoves
Barry out of the way. Adam STINGS Montgomery in the butt. The jury REACTS, aghast.
MONTGOMERY Ow! I’m hit! Oh, lordy, I am hit! The judge BANGS her gavel. JUDGE Order!

PRESS PERSON #1 (V.O) The case of the honey bees versus the human race took a pointed
turn against the bees yesterday, when one of their legal team stung Layton T. Montgomery.
Now here’s Don with the 5-day. A NURSE lets Barry into the room. Barry CARRIES a
FLOWER. BARRY Thank you. Barry stands over Adam, in a bed. Barry lays the flower
down next to him. The TV is on. BARRY (CONT'D) Hey buddy. ADAM Hey. BARRY Is there
much pain? Adam has a BEE-SIZED PAINKILLER HONEY BUTTON near his head that he presses.
ADAM (pressing the button) Yeah...I blew the whole case, didn’t I? "Bee Movie" -
JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 89. BARRY Oh, it doesn’t matter. The important thing is you’re
alive. You could have died. ADAM I’d be better off dead. Look at me. Adam THROWS
the blanket off his lap, revealing a GREEN SANDWICH SWORD STINGER. ADAM (CONT’D)
(voice cracking) They got it from the cafeteria, they got it from downstairs. In
a tuna sandwich. Look, there’s a little celery still on it. BARRY What was it like
to sting someone? ADAM I can’t explain it. It was all adrenaline...and then...ecstasy.
Barry looks at Adam. BARRY Alright. ADAM You think that was all a trap? BARRY 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. ADAM What do you think the humans will
do to us if they win? BARRY I don’t know. ADAM I hear they put the roaches in motels.
That doesn’t sound so bad. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 90. BARRY Adam, they
check in, but they don’t check out. Adam GULPS. ADAM Oh my. ANGLE ON: the hospital
window. We see THREE PEOPLE smoking outside on the sidewalk. The smoke drifts in.
Adam COUGHS. ADAM (CONT’D) Say, could you get a nurse to close that window? BARRY
Why? ADAM The smoke. Bees don’t smoke. BARRY Right. Bees don’t smoke. Bees don’t
smoke! But some bees are smoking. Adam, that’s it! That’s our case. Adam starts
putting his clothes on. ADAM It is? It’s not over? BARRY No. Get up. Get dressed.

him. JUDGE Mr. Flayman? ADAM Yes? Yes, Your Honor? JUDGE Where is the rest of your
team? ADAM (fumbling with his swordstinger) Well, your honor, it’s interesting.
You know Bees are trained to fly kind of haphazardly and as a result quite often
we don’t make very good time. I actually once heard a pretty funny story about a
bee-- MONTGOMERY Your Honor, haven’t these ridiculous bugs taken up enough of this
court’s valuable time? Montgomery rolls out from behind his table. He’s suspended
in a LARGE BABY CHAIR with wheels. MONTGOMERY (CONT'D) How much longer are we going
to allow these absurd shenanigans to go on? They have presented no compelling evidence
to support their charges against my clients who have all run perfectly legitimate
businesses. I move for a complete dismissal of this entire case. JUDGE Mr. Flayman,
I am afraid I am going to have to consider Mr. Montgomery’s motion. "Bee Movie"
- JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 92. ADAM But you can’t. We have a terrific case. MONTGOMERY
Where is your proof? Where is the evidence? Show me the smoking gun. Barry bursts
through the door. BARRY Hold it, your honor. You want a smoking gun? Here is your
smoking gun. Vanessa ENTERS, holding a bee smoker Vanessa slams the beekeeper's
SMOKER onto the judge’s bench. JUDGE What is that? BARRY It’s a Bee smoker. Montgomery
GRABS the smoker. MONTGOMERY What, this? This harmless little contraption? This
couldn’t hurt a fly, let alone a bee. He unintentionally points it towards the bee
gallery, KNOCKING THEM ALL OUT. The jury GASPS. The press SNAPS pictures of them.
BARRY Members of the jury, 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 these smoke machines in man-made wooden slat work camps? Living out our lives
as honey slaves to the white man? Barry gestures dramatically towards Montgomery's
racially mixed table. The BLACK LAWYER slowly moves his chair away. GAMMIL What
are we going to do? "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 93. MONTGOMERY (to Pross)
He's playing the species card. Barry lands on the scale of justice, by the judge’s
bench. It balances as he lands. BARRY Ladies and gentlemen, please, FreeThese-Bees!
ANGLE ON: Jury, chanting "Free the bees". JUDGE The court finds in favor of the
bees. The chaos continues. Barry flies over to Vanessa, with his hand up for a “high
5”. BARRY Vanessa, we won! VANESSA Yay! I knew you could do it. Highfive! She high
5’s Barry, sending him crashing to the table. He bounces right back up. VANESSA
(CONT'D) Oh, sorry. BARRY Ow!! I’m okay. Vanessa, do you know what this means? All
the honey is finally going to belong to the bees. Now we won’t have to work so hard
all the time. Montgomery approaches Barry, surrounded by the press. The cameras
and microphones go to Montgomery. MONTGOMERY (waving a finger) This is an unholy
perversion of the balance of nature, Benson! You’ll regret this. ANGLE ON: Barry’s
‘deer in headlights’ expression, as the press pushes microphones in his face. "Bee

bee way a long time. 27 million years. DISSOLVE TO: SEQ. 3600 - “HONEY ROUNDUP”
EXT. HONEY FARMS APIARY - MONTAGE SARAH (V.O) Congratulations on your victory. What
are you going to demand as a settlement? BARRY (V.O) (over montage) First, we’re
going to demand a complete shutdown of all bee work camps. Then, we want to get
back all 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, big-headed,

BARRY They’re doing nothing. It’s amazing, honey really changes people. VANESSA
You don’t have any idea what’s going on, do you? BARRY What did you want to show
me? VANESSA This. They reach the top of the stairs. Vanessa opens the door. CUT

garden have all turned brown. BARRY What happened here? VANESSA That is not the
half of it... Vanessa turns Barry around with her two fingers, revealing the view
of Central Park, which is also all brown. BARRY Oh no. Oh my. They’re all wilting.
VANESSA Doesn’t look very good, does it? BARRY No. VANESSA And who’s fault do you
think that is? "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 102. BARRY Mmmm...you know, I’m
going to guess, bees. VANESSA Bees? BARRY Specifically me. I guess I didn’t think
that bees not needing to make honey would affect all these other things. VANESSA
And it’s not just flowers. Fruits, vegetables...they all need bees. BARRY Well,
that’s our whole SAT test right there. VANESSA So, you take away the produce, that
affects the entire animal kingdom. And then, of course... BARRY The human species?
VANESSA (clearing throat) Ahem! BARRY Oh. So, if there’s no more pollination, it
could all just go south here, couldn’t it? VANESSA And I know this is also partly
my fault. Barry takes a long SIGH. BARRY How about a suicide pact? VANESSA (not
sure if he’s joking) How would we do it? BARRY I’ll sting you, you step on me. "Bee
Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 103. VANESSA That just kills you twice. BARRY Right,
right. VANESSA Listen Barry. Sorry but I’ve got to get going. She EXITS. BARRY (looking
out over the park) Had to open my mouth and talk... (looking back) Vanessa..? Vanessa

gets into a cab. Barry ENTERS. BARRY Vanessa. Why are you leaving? Where are you
going? VANESSA To the final Tournament of Roses parade in Pasadena. They moved it
up to this weekend because all the flowers are dying. It’s the last chance I’ll
ever have to see it. BARRY Vanessa, I just want to say I’m sorry. I never meant
it to turn out like this. VANESSA I know. Me neither. Vanessa cab drives away. "Bee
Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 104. BARRY (chuckling to himself) Tournament of Roses.
Roses can’t do sports. Wait a minute...roses. Roses? Roses!? Vanessa! Barry follows

VANESSA Barry? BARRY (as he flies next to the cab) Roses are flowers. VANESSA Yes,
they are. BARRY Flowers, bees, pollen! VANESSA I know. That’s why this is the last
parade. BARRY Maybe not. The cab starts pulling ahead of Barry. BARRY (CONT'D) (re:
driver) Could you ask him to slow down? VANESSA Could you slow down? The cabs slows.
Barry flies in the window, and lands in the change box, which closes on him. "Bee
Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 105. VANESSA (CONT'D) Barry! Vanessa lets him out.
Barry stands on the change box, in front of the driver’s license. BARRY Okay, I
made a huge mistake! This is a total disaster, and it’s all my fault! VANESSA Yes,
it kind of is. BARRY I’ve ruined the planet. And, I wanted to help with your flower
shop. Instead, I’ve made it worse. VANESSA Actually, it’s completely closed down.
BARRY Oh, I thought maybe you were remodeling. Nonetheless, I have another idea.
And it’s greater than all my previous great ideas combined. VANESSA I don’t want
to hear it. Vanessa closes the change box on Barry. BARRY (opening it again) Alright,
here’s what I’m thinking. They have the roses, the roses have the pollen. I know
every bee, plant, and flower bud in this park. All we’ve got to do is get what they’ve
got back here with what we’ve got. VANESSA Bees... BARRY Park... VANESSA Pollen...

Sorry I’m late. Where should I sit? PRINCESS What are you? BARRY I believe I’m the
pea. PRINCESS The pea? It’s supposed to be under the mattresses. "Bee Movie" - JS

to go talk to the marshall. BARRY You do that. This whole parade is a fiasco! She
EXITS. Vanessa removes the step-ladder. The princess FALLS. Barry and Vanessa take

on a laptop calculating flowers, pollen, number of bees, airspeed, etc. He does
a “Stomp” dance on the keyboard. BARRY Can you believe how lucky we are? We have
just enough pollen to do the job. I think this is going to work, Vanessa. VANESSA
It’s got to work. PILOT (V.O) Attention passengers. This is Captain Scott. I’m afraid
we have a bit of bad weather in the New York area. And looks like we’re going to
be experiencing a couple of hours delay. VANESSA Barry, these are cut flowers with

112. The pilot grabs a “DUSTBUSTER” vacuum cleaner. He aims it around trying to
vacuum up Barry. The co-pilot faces camera, as the pilot tries to suck Barry up.
Barry is on the other side of the co-pilot. As they dosey-do, the toupee of the
co-pilot begins to come up, still attached to the front. CO-PILOT (CONT'D) What
are you doing? Stop! The toupee comes off the co-pilot’s head, and sticks in the
Dustbuster. Barry runs across the bald head. BARRY Wait a minute! I’m an attorney!
CO-PILOT Who’s an attorney? PILOT Don’t move. The pilot uses the Dustbuster to try
and mash Barry, who is hovering in front of the co-pilot’s nose, and knocks out
the co-pilot who falls out of his chair, hitting the life raft release button. The
life raft inflates, hitting the pilot, knocking him into a wall and out cold. Barry
surveys the situation. BARRY Oh, Barry. CUT TO: INT. AIRPLANE CABIN Vanessa studies
her laptop, looking serious. SFX: PA CRACKLE. BARRY (V.O) (in captain voice) Good

there was a Dustbuster, a toupee, a life raft exploded...Now one’s bald, one’s in
a boat, and they’re both unconscious. VANESSA Is that another bee joke? BARRY No.

"I JUST FUCKING POOPED ON MY NEW BOYFRIENDS DICK!!!! IT WAS TOO BIG THAT IT MADE MUKBANG FOOD COME OUT.....Should I tell y'all the story in tonight's video and do you wanna see the poop? I haven't cleaned it yet cuz I get out of breath."

Nikocado Avocado (ニック・アボカド) is a mukbang YouTuber known for his awesome and yummy mukbangs. His true form is the Avogodo, the Malevolent Gluttony Overlord. In his videos, he usually got into fights with Orlin Home, an operative sent to thwart the Avogodo's rise while pretending to be Nikocado's lover for the public.

His former buddy: Christian Weston Chandler has blessed Nikocado Avocado from becoming a causality during the Dimensional Merge, despite his proclamation: "He's fat! Iiiiii'm thin!"

Personality

Nikocado Avocado is fat.

He is also an outrageous, entitled online personality with a ravenous desire for food (especially Takis) and relentless promotion for his own merchandise. His gluttony knows no bounds; as the Avogodo, anything from the mundane to the unthinkable can be consumed for the sake of making mukbangs. Your grandma's ashes? Food. The corpses of his enemies? Of course. Hug Fruit Barrels? Yes... even those.

History

On August 9, 1945, Nikocado wanted to take a nice vacation to Nagasaki, Japan. During the trip, he was marveling over the city's beautiful sights, pressing up against the door of the helicopter in which he rode in to get a better view. Unfortunately, the door was not secured properly, and Nikocado was unable to steady himself, resulting in the fat man flailing and plummeting towards the city below. Upon impact with the ground, he created a crater so deep the entire city of Nagasaki was instantly pulverized, effectively ending the war. Nikocado's mass and gravity bent space and time, resulting in the immediate surrender of Japan. This incident was known as the Fat Man.

In the aftermath Nagasaki's destruction, the Japanese government took ownership of Nikocado, keeping him hidden from the public as a weapon of mass destruction. In an effort to maintain anonymity, the Japanese government required Nikocado to lose weight and switched him to a vegan diet. During this time, the government made a horrifying discovery: Nikocado wasn't human. Instead, he was a disguise for an entity known as the Avogodo. According to ancient folkore of the Avocado People, the emergence of the Avogodo signaled an era of unending darkness, destined to shroud the world for ten thousand years. The tales spoke of an uncontrollable force that would consume all in its path, eradicating light, hope, and life itself.

The Japanense government had unwittingly played a part in potentially releasing a cataclysmic force upon the world. The responsibility to contain this imminent threat soon fell onto an unlikely individual: Orlin Home. Being the only subject brave enough to accept it, Orlin was tasked with keeping the entity at bay, letting his identity to the public be known as the lover of Nikocado Avocado.

Sometime between 2012 and 2014, Nikocado Avocado began his presence on YouTube, showing himself as a slender, positive, and wholesome vegan in a relationship with his supposed loving boyfriend. As a want for views got greater, however, so did Nikocado Avocado's hunger. Over the years, the mukbang YouTuber grew in views and, most notably, his mass while Orlin's waistline followed suite, metaphorically and quite literally bearing the weight of his commitment.

Nikocado's current family

For many years, Orlin worked tirelessly as Nikocado's content grew more bizarre and excessive. The amounts of food consumed became more and more copious, with videos such as "EATING $3.6 MILLION WORTH OF GOLD JEWELLERY • MUKBANG" and "How many Flintstones Gummy Vitamins will make me 400 pounds?" being proof of his ever-escalating diet choices. As the line between the Nikocado persona and the Avogodo entity blurred, Orlin's stress increased. The fate of humanity rested on his shoulders, a burden he bore while maintaining the façade of a relationship with a figure whose true nature was more sinister than anyone could have imagined.

Orlin's efforts turned out to be futile in a video on the Nikocado Avocado channel showing his last appearance: "How much Bath Salts will make me 400 pounds? Orlin Mukbang." Viewers watched in horror as the unspeakable happened: Nikocado devoured Orlin. In hindsight, the warning signs were there from the start; he also ate the many pets they used to own such as Noodle the Parrot, some sloth that bit his finger and his first mobility scooter. His second mobilty scooter died from being flung by a trebutchet.

The absorption of his so-called lover proved to be the final step for unshackling the Avogodo from its confines. The force that prophecies had foretold, an entity of darkness and destruction, was no longer held at bay. The very atmosphere trembled as the Avogodo's ominous presence spread, devouring light and life just for the sake of its own gluttonous desires.
