According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly.

Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of c

ourse, flies anyway, because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

better go 'cause we're really busy working. But it's our yogurt night! Bye-bye.

WHY IS YOGURT NIGHT SO DIFFICULT?! You poor thing. You two have been at this for

hours! Yes, and Adam here has been a huge help. Frosting… How many sugars? Just

one. I try not to use the competition. So why are you helping me? Bees have good

qualities. And it takes my mind off the shop. Instead of flowers, people are giv

ination. Bees must hate those fake things! Nothing worse than a daffodil that's

had work done. Maybe this could make up for it a little bit. This lawsuit's a pr

etty big deal. I guess. You sure you want to go through with it? Am I sure? When

I'm done with the humans, they won't be able to say, "Honey, I'm home," without

paying a royalty! It's an incredible scene here in downtown Manhattan, where the

world anxiously waits, because for the first time in history, we will hear for o

rselves if a honeybee can actually speak. What have we gotten into here, Barry?

It's pretty big, isn't it? I can't believe how many humans don't work during the

day. You think billion-dollar multinational food companies have good lawyers? Ev

erybody needs to stay behind the barricade. What's the matter? I don't know, I j

ust got a chill. Well, if it isn't the bee team. You boys work on this? All rise

Court of New York, Barry Bee Benson v. the Honey Industry is now in session. Mr.

Montgomery, you're representing the five food companies collectively? A privileg

e. Mr. Benson… you're representing all the bees of the world? I'm kidding. Yes,

Your Honor, we're ready to proceed. Mr. Montgomery, your opening statement, plea

se. 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 bount

y of nature God put before us. If we lived in the topsy-turvy world Mr. Benson i

magines, just think of what would it mean. I would have to negotiate with the si

lkworm for the elastic in my britches! Talking bee! How do we know this isn't so

me 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! Mr. Benson? Ladies and gentlemen,

there's no trickery here. I'm just an ordinary bee. Honey's pretty important to

me. It's important to all bees. We invented it! We make it. And we protect it wi

th our lives. Unfortunately, there are some people in this room who think they c

an take it from us 'cause we're the little guys! I'm hoping that, after this is

all over, you'll see how, by taking our honey, you not only take everything we h

ave, but everything we are! I wish he'd dress like that all the time. So nice!

Call your first witness. So, Mr. Klauss Vanderhayden of Honey Farms, big company

you have. I suppose so. I see you also own Honeyburton and Honron! Yes, they pro

vide beekeepers for our farms. Beekeeper. I find that to be a very disturbing te

rm. I don't imagine you employ any bee-free-ers, do you? No. I couldn't hear you

. No. No. Because you don't free bees. You keep bees. Not only that, it seems yo

u thought a bear would be an appropriate image for a jar of honey. They're very

rs kill bees! How'd you like his head crashing through your living room?! Biting

into your couch! Spitting out your throw pillows! OK, that's enough. Take him aw

I heard it before? I was with a band called The Police. But you've never been a

police officer, have you? No, I haven't. No, you haven't. And so here we have ye

Oh, please. Have you ever been stung, Mr. Sting? Because I'm feeling a little st

You idiots! Mr. Liotta, first, belated congratulations on your Emmy win for a gu

devilishly handsome with a churning inner turmoil that's ready to blow. I enjoy

what I do. Is that a crime? Not yet it isn't. But is this what it's come to for

you? Exploiting tiny, helpless bees so you don't have to rehearse your part and

learn your lines, sir? Watch it, Benson! I could blow right now! This isn't a go

od fella. This is a bad fella! Why doesn't someone just step on this creep, and

we can all go home?! Order in this court! You're all thinking it! Order! Order,

I say! Say it! Mr. Liotta, please sit down! I think it was awfully nice of that

bear to pitch in like that. I think the jury's on our side. Are we doing everyth

at team! Well, hello. Ken! Hello. I didn't think you were coming. No, I was just

late. I tried to call, but… the battery. I didn't want all this to go to waste,

so I called Barry. Luckily, he was free. Oh, that was lucky. There's a little le
