Schrödinger’s cat is a thought experiment that demonstrates the idea in quantum physics that tiny particles can be in two states at once until they’re observed. Therefore, Schrödinger’s Topic is a topic that is both abnormal and completely normal until it is clicked on and seen.
Post stuff to make the moderators question reality itself.
So this is the newest trend aye?
well I guess I started it by closing my topic 
this is indeed a thread
Nah this is string
No this is schrödinger’s topic
I’m gonna assume this means the cat died. Shouldn’t have clicked on the topic and it wouldn’t have happened 
gat
Speaking of two states of existence that’s how far away you’re gonna land once im done with you.
fun fact, they are actually getting cease and desisted by dafuqboom

Schrodinger’s Hide Details
did you find the thing inside the hide details?
/j (full sentence)
No, I didn’t.
/j
oh boy another “normal topic” topic I know what image I have saved onto my computer to send
I’ll have to hide it better next time
See that? It’s a little bit of magic.
That’s amazing. Why do we do that?
That’s pollen power. More pollen, more flowers, more nectar, more honey for us.
Cool.
I’m picking up a lot of bright yellow, Could be daisies, Don’t we need those?
Copy that visual.
Wait. One of these flowers seems to be on the move.
Say again? You’re reporting a moving flower?
Affirmative.
That was on the line!
This is the coolest. What is it?
I don’t know, but I’m loving this color.
It smells good.
Not like a flower, but I like it.
Yeah, fuzzy.
Chemical-y.
Careful, guys. It’s a little grabby.
My sweet lord of bees!
Candy-brain, get off there!
Problem!
Guys!
This could be bad.
Affirmative.
Very close.
Gonna hurt.
Mama’s little boy.
You are way out of position, rookie!
Coming in at you like a missile!
Help me!
I don’t think these are flowers.
Should we tell him?
I think he knows.
What is this?!
Match point!
You can start packing up, honey, because you’re about to eat it!
Yowser!
Gross.
There’s a bee in the car!
Do something!
I’m driving!
Hi, bee.
He’s back here!
He’s going to sting me!
Nobody move. If you don’t move, he won’t sting you. Freeze!
He blinked!
Spray him, Granny!
What are you doing?!
Wow… the tension level out here is unbelievable.
I gotta get home.
Can’t fly in rain. Can’t fly in rain. Can’t fly in rain.
Mayday! Mayday! Bee going down!
Ken, could you close the window please?
Ken, could you close the window please?
Check out my new resume. I made it into a fold-out brochure. You see? Folds out.
Oh, no. More humans. I don’t need this.
What was that?
Maybe this time. This time. This time. This time! This time! This… Drapes!
That is diabolical.
It’s fantastic. It’s got all my special skills, even my top-ten favorite movies.
What’s number one? Star Wars?
Nah, I don’t go for that… kind of stuff.
No wonder we shouldn’t talk to them. They’re out of their minds.
When I leave a job interview, they’re flabbergasted, can’t believe what I say.
There’s the sun. Maybe that’s a way out.
I don’t remember the sun having a big 75 on it.
I predicted global warming. I could feel it getting hotter. At first I thought it was just me.
Wait! Stop! Bee!
Stand back. These are winter boots.
Wait!
Don’t kill him!
You know I’m allergic to them! This thing could kill me!
Why does his life have less value than yours?
Why does his life have any less value than mine? Is that your statement?
I’m just saying all life has value. You don’t know what he’s capable of feeling.
My brochure!
There you go, little guy.
I’m not scared of him.It’s an allergic thing.
Put that on your resume brochure.
My whole face could puff up.
Make it one of your special skills.
Knocking someone out is also a special skill.
Right. Bye, Vanessa. Thanks.
Vanessa, next week? Yogurt night?
Sure, Ken. You know, whatever.
You could put carob chips on there.
Bye.
Supposed to be less calories.
Bye.
I gotta say something. She saved my life. I gotta say something.
All right, here it goes.
Nah.
What would I say?
I could really get in trouble. It’s a bee law. You’re not supposed to talk to a human.
I can’t believe I’m doing this. I’ve got to.
Oh, I can’t do it. Come on!
No. Yes. No. Do it. I can’t.
How should I start it? “You like jazz?” No, that’s no good.
Here she comes! Speak, you fool!
Hi!
I’m sorry. You’re talking.
Yes, I know.
You’re talking!
I’m so sorry.
No, it’s OK. It’s fine.
I know I’m dreaming. But I don’t recall going to bed.
Well, I’m sure this is very disconcerting.
This is a bit of a surprise to me. I mean, you’re a bee!
I am. And I’m not supposed to be doing this, but they were all trying to kill me.
And if it wasn’t for you… I had to thank you. It’s just how I was raised.
That was a little weird. I’m talking with a bee.
Yeah.
I’m talking to a bee. And the bee is talking to me!
I just want to say I’m grateful.
I’ll leave now.
Wait! How did you learn to do that?
What?
The talking thing.
Same way you did, I guess. “Mama, Dada, honey.” You pick it up.
That’s very funny.
Yeah.
Bees are funny. If we didn’t laugh, we’d cry with what we have to deal with.
Anyway… Can I… get you something?
Like what?
I don’t know. I mean… I don’t know. Coffee?
I don’t want to put you out.
It’s no trouble. It takes two minutes.
It’s just coffee.
I hate to impose.
Don’t be ridiculous!
Actually, I would love a cup.
Hey, you want rum cake?
I shouldn’t.
Have some.
No, I can’t.
Come on!
I’m trying to lose a couple micrograms.
Where?
These stripes don’t help.
You look great!
I don’t know if you know anything about fashion.
Are you all right?
No.
He’s making the tie in the cab as they’re flying up Madison.
He finally gets there.
He runs up the steps into the church.
The wedding is on.
And he says, “Watermelon?
I thought you said Guatemalan.
Why would I marry a watermelon?”
Is that a bee joke?
That’s the kind of stuff we do.
Yeah, different.
So, what are you gonna do, Barry?
About work? I don’t know.
I want to do my part for The Hive, but I can’t do it the way they want.
I know how you feel.
You do?
Sure.
My parents wanted me to be a lawyer or a doctor, but I wanted to be a florist.
Really?
My only interest is flowers.
Our new queen was just elected with that same campaign slogan.
Anyway, if you look… There’s my hive right there. See it?
You’re in Sheep Meadow!
Yes! I’m right off the Turtle Pond!
No way! I know that area. I lost a toe ring there once.
Why do girls put rings on their toes?
Why not?
It’s like putting a hat on your knee.
Maybe I’ll try that.
You all right, ma’am?
Oh, yeah. Fine.
Just having two cups of coffee!
Anyway, this has been great.
Thanks for the coffee.
Yeah, it’s no trouble.
Sorry I couldn’t finish it. If I did, I’d be up the rest of my life.
Are you…?
Can I take a piece of this with me?
Sure! Here, have a crumb.
Thanks!
Yeah.
All right. Well, then… I guess I’ll see you around. Or not.
OK, Barry.
And thank you so much again… for before.
Oh, that? That was nothing.
Well, not nothing, but… Anyway…
This can’t possibly work.
He’s all set to go.
We may as well try it.
OK, Dave, pull the chute.
Sounds amazing.
It was amazing!
It was the scariest, happiest moment of my life.
Humans! I can’t believe you were with humans!
Giant, scary humans!
What were they like?
Huge and crazy. They talk crazy.
They eat crazy giant things.
They drive crazy.
Do they try and kill you, like on TV?
Some of them. But some of them don’t.
How’d you get back?
Poodle.
You did it, and I’m glad. You saw whatever you wanted to see.
You had your “experience.” Now you can pick out yourjob and be normal.
Well…
Well?
Well, I met someone.
You did? Was she Bee-ish?
A wasp?! Your parents will kill you!
No, no, no, not a wasp.
Spider?
I’m not attracted to spiders.
I know it’s the hottest thing, with the eight legs and all. I can’t get by that face.
So who is she?
She’s… human.
No, no. That’s a bee law. You wouldn’t break a bee law.
Her name’s Vanessa.
Oh, boy.
She’s so nice. And she’s a florist!
Oh, no! You’re dating a human florist!
We’re not dating.
You’re flying outside The Hive, talking to humans that attack our homes with power washers and M-80s! One-eighth a stick of dynamite!
She saved my life! And she understands me.
This is over!
Eat this.
This is not over! What was that?
They call it a crumb.
It was so stingin’ stripey!
And that’s not what they eat.
That’s what falls off what they eat!
You know what a Cinnabon is?
No.
It’s bread and cinnamon and frosting. They heat it up…
Sit down!
…really hot!
Listen to me!
We are not them! We’re us.
There’s us and there’s them!
Yes, but who can deny the heart that is yearning?
There’s no yearning. Stop yearning. Listen to me!
You have got to start thinking bee, my friend. Thinking bee!
Thinking bee.
Thinking bee.
Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee!
There he is. He’s in the pool.
You know what your problem is, Barry?
I gotta start thinking bee?
How much longer will this go on?
It’s been three days! Why aren’t you working?
I’ve got a lot of big life decisions to think about.
What life? You have no life!
You have no job. You’re barely a bee!
Would it kill you to make a little honey?
Barry, come out. Your father’s talking to you.
Martin, would you talk to him?
Barry, I’m talking to you!
You coming?
Got everything?
All set!
Go ahead. I’ll catch up.
Don’t be too long.
Watch this!
Vanessa!
We’re still here.
I told you not to yell at him.
He doesn’t respond to yelling!
Then why yell at me?
Because you don’t listen!
I’m not listening to this.
Sorry, I’ve gotta go.
Where are you going?
I’m meeting a friend.
A girl? Is this why you can’t decide?
Bye.
I just hope she’s Bee-ish.
They have a huge parade of flowers every year in Pasadena?
To be in the Tournament of Roses, that’s every florist’s dream!
Up on a float, surrounded by flowers, crowds cheering.
A tournament. Do the roses compete in athletic events?
No. All right, I’ve got one.
How come you don’t fly everywhere?
It’s exhausting. Why don’t you run everywhere? It’s faster.
Yeah, OK, I see, I see.
All right, your turn.
TiVo. You can just freeze live TV? That’s insane!
You don’t have that?
We have Hivo, but it’s a disease. It’s a horrible, horrible disease.
Oh, my.
Dumb bees!
You must want to sting all those jerks.
We try not to sting. It’s usually fatal for us.
So you have to watch your temper.
Very carefully.
You kick a wall, take a walk, write an angry letter and throw it out. Work through it like any emotion: Anger, jealousy, lust.
Oh, my goodness! Are you OK?
Yeah.
What is wrong with you?!
It’s a bug.
He’s not bothering anybody.
Get out of here, you creep!
What was that? A Pic ‘N’ Save circular?
Yeah, it was. How did you know?
It felt like about 10 pages. Seventy-five is pretty much our limit.
You’ve really got that down to a science.
I lost a cousin to Italian Vogue.
I’ll bet.
What in the name of Mighty Hercules is this?
How did this get here? cute Bee, Golden Blossom, Ray Liotta Private Select?
Is he that actor?
I never heard of him.
Why is this here?
For people. We eat it.
You don’t have enough food of your own?
Well, yes.
How do you get it?
Bees make it.
I know who makes it! And it’s hard to make it!
There’s heating, cooling, stirring. You need a whole Krelman thing!
It’s organic.
It’s our-ganic!
It’s just honey, Barry.
Just what?!
Bees don’t know about this! This is stealing! A lot of stealing!
You’ve taken our homes, schools,hospitals! This is all we have!
And it’s on sale?! I’m getting to the bottom of this.
I’m getting to the bottom of all of this!
Hey, Hector. You almost done?
Almost.
He is here. I sense it.
Well, I guess I’ll go home now and just leave this nice honey out, with no one around.
You’re busted, box boy!
I knew I heard something.
So you can talk!
I can talk. And now you’ll start talking!
Where you getting the sweet stuff? Who’s your supplier?
I don’t understand.
I thought we were friends.
The last thing we want to do is upset bees!
You’re too late! It’s ours now!
You, sir, have crossed the wrong sword!
You, sir, will be lunch for my iguana, Ignacio!
Where is the honey coming from? Tell me where!
Honey Farms! It comes from Honey Farms!
Crazy person!
What horrible thing has happened here?
These faces, they never knew what hit them. And now
they’re on the road to nowhere!
Just keep still.
What? You’re not dead?
Do I look dead? They will wipe anything that moves. Where you headed?
To Honey Farms. I am onto something huge here.
I’m going to Alaska. Moose blood, crazy stuff. Blows your head off!
I’m going to Tacoma.
And you?
He really is dead.
All right.
Uh-oh!
What is that?!
Oh, no!
A wiper! Triple blade!
Triple blade?
Jump on! It’s your only chance, bee!
Why does everything have
to be so doggone clean?!
How much do you people need to see?!
Open your eyes!
Stick your head out the window!
From NPR News in Washington,
I’m Carl Kasell.
But don’t kill no more bugs!
Bee!
Moose blood guy!!
You hear something?
Like what?
Like tiny screaming.
Turn off the radio.
Whassup, bee boy?
Hey, Blood.
Just a row of honey jars, as far as the eye could see.
Wow!
I assume wherever this truck goes is where they’re getting it. I mean, that honey’s ours.
Bees hang tight. We’re all jammed in.
It’s a close community.
Not us, man. We on our own. Every mosquito on his own.
What if you get in trouble?
You a mosquito, you in trouble. Nobody likes us. They just smack. See a mosquito, smack, smack!
At least you’re out in the world. You must meet girls.
Mosquito girls try to trade up, get with a moth, dragonfly. Mosquito girl don’t want no mosquito.
You got to be kidding me!
Mooseblood’s about to leave the building! So long, bee!
Hey, guys!
Mooseblood!
I knew I’d catch y’all down here.
Did you bring your crazy straw?
We throw it in jars, slap a label on it, and it’s pretty much pure profit.
What is this place?
A bee’s got a brain the size of a pinhead.
They are pinheads!
Pinhead.
Check out the new smoker.
Oh, sweet. That’s the one you want. The Thomas 3000!
Smoker?
Ninety puffs a minute, semi-automatic. Twice the nicotine, all the tar. A couple breaths of this knocks them right out.
They make the honey, and we make the money.
“They make the honey, and we make the money”?
Oh, my!
What’s going on? Are you OK?
Yeah. It doesn’t last too long.
Do you know you’re in a fake hive with fake walls?
Our queen was moved here. We had no choice.
This is your queen? That’s a man in women’s clothes! That’s a drag queen!
What is this?
Oh, no!
There’s hundreds of them!
Bee honey.
Our honey is being brazenly stolen on a massive scale!
This is worse than anything bears have done! I intend to do something.
Oh, Barry, stop.
Who told you humans are taking our honey? That’s a rumor.
Do these look like rumors?
That’s a conspiracy theory. These are obviously doctored photos. How did you get mixed up in this?
He’s been talking to humans.
What? Talking to humans?!
He has a human girlfriend. And they make out!
Make out? Barry!
We do not.
You wish you could.
Whose side are you on?
The bees!
I dated a cricket once in San Antonio. Those crazy legs kept me up all night.
Barry, this is what you want to do with your life?
I want to do it for all our lives. Nobody works harder than bees!
Dad, I remember you coming home so overworked
your hands were still stirring. You couldn’t stop.
I remember that.
What right do they have to our honey?
We live on two cups a year. They put it in lip balm for no reason whatsoever!
Even if it’s true, what can one bee do?
Sting them where it really hurts.
In the face! The eye!
That would hurt.
No.
Up the nose? That’s a killer.
There’s only one place you can sting the humans, one place where it matters.
Hive at Five, The Hive’s only full-hour action news source.
No more bee beards!
With Bob Bumble at the anchor desk. Weather with Storm Stinger. Sports with Buzz Larvi. And Jeanette Chung.
Good evening. I’m Bob Bumble.
And I’m Jeanette Ohung.
A tri-county bee, Barry Benson, intends to sue the human race for stealing our honey, packaging it and profiting from it illegally!
Tomorrow night on Bee Larry King, we’ll have three former queens here in our studio, discussing their new book, classy Ladies, out this week on Hexagon.
Tonight we’re talking to Barry Benson.
Did you ever think, “I’m a kid from The Hive. I can’t do this”?
Bees have never been afraid to change the world.
What about Bee Oolumbus? Bee Gandhi? Bejesus?
Where I’m from, we’d never sue humans.
We were thinking of stickball or candy stores.
How old are you?
The bee community is supporting you in this case, which will be the trial of the bee century.
You know, they have a Larry King in the human world too.
It’s a common name. Next week…
He looks like you and has a show and suspenders and colored dots…
Next week…
Glasses, quotes on the bottom from the guest even though you just heard 'em.
Bear Week next week! They’re scary, hairy and here live.
Always leans forward, pointy shoulders, squinty eyes, very Jewish.
In tennis, you attack at I was actually rb1 this entire time the point of weakness!
It was my grandmother, Ken. She’s 81.
Honey, her backhand’s a joke!
I’m not gonna take advantage of that?
Quiet, please.
Actual work going on here.
Is that that same bee?
Yes, it is!
I’m helping him sue the human race.
Hello.
Hello, bee.
This is Ken.
Yeah, I remember you. Timberland, size ten and a half. Vibram sole, I believe.
Why does he talk again?
Listen, you better go 'cause we’re really busy working.
But it’s our yogurt night!
Bye-bye.
Why is yogurt night so difficult?!
You poor thing. You two have been at this for hours!
Yes, and Adam here has been a huge help.
Frosting…
How many sugars?
Just one. I try not to use the competition.
So why are you helping me?
Bees have good qualities. And it takes my mind off the shop. Instead of flowers, people are giving balloon bouquets now.
Those are great, if you’re three.
And artificial flowers.
Oh, those just get me psychotic!
Yeah, me too.
Bent stingers, pointless pollination.
Bees must hate those fake things!
Nothing worse than a daffodil that’s had work done.
Maybe this could make up for it a little bit.
This lawsuit’s a pretty big deal.
I guess.
You sure you want to go through with it?
Am I sure? When I’m done with the humans, they won’t be able to say, “Honey, I’m home,” without paying a royalty!
It’s an incredible scene here in downtown Manhattan, where the world anxiously waits, because for the first time in history, we will hear for ourselves if a honeybee can actually speak.
What have we gotten into here, Barry?
It’s pretty big, isn’t it?
I can’t believe how many humans don’t work during the day.
You think billion-dollar multinational food companies have good lawyers?
Everybody needs to stay behind the barricade.
What’s the matter?
I don’t know, I just got a chill.
Well, if it isn’t the bee team.
You boys work on this?
All rise! The Honorable Judge Bumbleton presiding.
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!
Mr. Benson?
Ladies and gentlemen, there’s no trickery here. I’m just an ordinary bee. Honey’s pretty important to me. It’s important to all bees. We invented it! We make it. And we protect it with our lives.
Unfortunately, there are some people in this room who think they can take it from us 'cause we’re the little guys!
I’m hoping that, after this is all over, you’ll see how, by taking our honey, you not only take everything we have but everything we are!
I wish he’d dress like that all the time. So nice!
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 provide beekeepers for our farms.
Beekeeper. I find that to be a very disturbing term.
I don’t imagine you employ any bee-free-ers, do you?
No.
I couldn’t hear you.
No.
No. Because you don’t free bees. You keep bees. Not only that, it seems you thought a bear would be an appropriate image for a jar of honey.
They’re very lovable creatures. Yogi Bear, Fozzie Bear, Build-A-Bear.
You mean like this?
Bears kill bees!
How’d you like his head crashing through your living room?! Biting into your couch! Spitting out your throw pillows! OK, that’s enough. Take him away.
So, Mr. Sting, thank you for being here. Your name intrigues me. Where have I heard it before?
I was with a band called The Police.
But you’ve never been a police officer, have you?
No, I haven’t.
No, you haven’t. And so here we have yet another example of bee culture casually stolen by a human for nothing more than a prance-about stage name.
Oh, please.
Have you ever been stung, Mr. Sting? Because I’m feeling a little stung, Sting. Or should I say… Mr. Gordon M. Sumner!
That’s not his real name?! You idiots!
Mr. Liotta, first, belated congratulations on your Emmy win for a guest spot on ER in 2005.
Thank you. Thank you.
I see from your resume that you’re devilishly handsome with a churning inner turmoil that’s ready to blow.
I enjoy what I do. Is that a crime?
Not yet it isn’t. But is this what it’s come to for you? Exploiting tiny, helpless bees so you don’t have to rehearse your part and learn your lines, sir?
Watch it, Benson! I could blow right now!
This isn’t a goodfella.
This is a badfella!
Why doesn’t someone just step on this creep, and we can all go home?!
Order in this court!
You’re all thinking it!
Order! Order, I say!
Say it!
Mr. Liotta, please sit down!
I think it was awfully nice of that bear to pitch in like that. I think the jury’s on our side.
Are we doing everything right, legally?
I’m a florist.
Right. Well, here’s to a great team.
To a great team!
Well, hello.
Ken!
Hello.
I didn’t think you were coming.
No, I was just late I tried to call, but… the battery.
I didn’t want all this to go to waste,
so I called Barry. Luckily, he was free.
Oh, that was lucky.
There’s a little left. I could heat it up.
Yeah, heat it up, sure, whatever.
So I hear you’re quite a tennis player. I’m not much for the game myself. The ball’s a little grabby.
That’s where I usually sit. Right… there.
Ken, Barry was looking at your resume, and he agreed with me that eating with chopsticks isn’t really a special skill.
You think I don’t see what you’re doing?
I know how hard it is to find the right job. We have that in common.
Do we?
Bees have 100 percent employment, but we do jobs like taking the crud out.
That’s just what I was thinking about doing.
Ken, I let Barry borrow your razor for his fuzz. I hope that was all right.
I’m going to drain the old stinger.
Yeah, you do that.
Look at that.
You know, I’ve just about had it with your little Mind Games.
What’s that?
Italian Vogue.
Mamma mia, that’s a lot of pages.
A lot of ads.
Remember what Van said, why is your life more valuable than mine?
Funny, I just can’t seem to recall that! I think something stinks in here!
I love the smell of flowers.
How do you like the smell of flames?!
Not as much.
Water bug! Not taking sides!
Ken, I’m wearing a Chapstick hat!
This is pathetic!
I’ve got issues!
Well, well, well, a royal flush!
You’re bluffing.
Am I?
Surf’s up, dude!
Poo water!
That bowl is gnarly. Except for those dirty yellow rings!
Kenneth! What are you doing?!
You know, I don’t even like honey! I don’t eat it!
We need to talk! He’s just a little bee!
And he happens to be the nicest bee I’ve met in a long time!
Long time? What are you talking about?! Are there other bugs in your life?
No, but there are other things bugging me in life. And you’re one of them!
Fine! Talking bees, no yogurt night…
My nerves are fried from riding on this emotional roller coaster!
Goodbye, Ken.
And for your information, I prefer sugar-free, artificial sweeteners made by man!
I’m sorry about all that.
I know it’s got an aftertaste! I like it!
I always felt there was some kind of barrier between Ken and me. I couldn’t overcome it.
Oh, well.
Are you OK for the trial?
I believe Mr. Montgomery is about out of ideas.
We would like to call Mr. Barry Benson Bee to the stand.
Good idea! You can really see why he’s considered one of the best lawyers…
Yeah.
Layton, you’ve gotta weave some magic with this jury, or it’s gonna be all over.
Don’t worry. The only thing I have to do to turn this jury around is to remind them of what they don’t like about bees.
You got the tweezers?
Are you allergic?
Only to losing, son. Only to losing.
Mr. Benson Bee, I’ll ask you what I think we’d all like to know.
What exactly is your relationship to that woman?
We’re friends.
Good friends?
Yes.
How good? Do you live together?
Wait a minute… Are you her little… bedbug?
I’ve seen a bee documentary or two. From what I understand, doesn’t your queen give birth to all the bee children?
Yeah, but…
So those aren’t your real parents!
Oh, Barry…
Yes, they are!
Hold me back!
You’re an illegitimate bee, aren’t you, Benson?
He’s denouncing bees!
Don’t y’all date your cousins?
Objection!
I’m going to pincushion this guy!
Adam, don’t! It’s what he wants!
Oh, I’m hit!! Oh, lordy, I am hit!
Order! Order!
The venom! The venom is coursing through my veins! I have been felled by a winged beast of destruction! You see? You can’t treat them like equals! They’re striped savages! Stinging’s the only thing they know! It’s their way!
Adam, stay with me.
I can’t feel my legs.
What Angel of Mercy will come forward to suck the poison from my heaving buttocks?
I will have order in this court. Order! Order, please!
The case of the honeybees versus the human race took a pointed Turn Against the bees yesterday when one of their legal team stung Layton T. Montgomery.
Hey, buddy.
Hey.
Is there much pain?
Yeah.
I… I blew the whole case, didn’t I?
It doesn’t matter. What matters is
you’re alive. You could have died.
I’d be better off dead. Look at me.
They got it from the cafeteria downstairs, in a tuna sandwich. Look, there’s a little celery still on it.
What was it like to sting someone?
I can’t explain it. It was all… All adrenaline and then…and then ecstasy!
All right.
You think it was all a trap?
Of course. I’m sorry. I flew us right into this.
What were we thinking? Look at us. We’re just a couple of bugs in this world.
What will the humans do to us if they win?
I don’t know.
I hear they put the roaches in motels. That doesn’t sound so bad.
Adam, they check in, but they don’t check out!
Oh, my.
Could you get a nurse to close that window?
Why?
The smoke.
Bees don’t smoke.
Right. Bees don’t smoke.
Bees don’t smoke!
But some bees are smoking.
That’s it! That’s our case!
It is? It’s not over?
Get dressed. I’ve gotta go somewhere.
Get back to the court and stall. Stall any way you can.
And assuming you’ve done step correctly, you’re ready for the tub.
Mr. Flayman.
Yes? Yes, Your Honor!
Where is the rest of your team?
Well, Your Honor, it’s interesting. Bees are trained to fly haphazardly, and as a result, we don’t make very good time.
I actually heard a funny story about…
Your Honor, haven’t these ridiculous bugs taken up enough of this court’s valuable time? How much longer will we allow these absurd shenanigans to go on?
They have presented no compelling evidence to support their charges against my clients, who run legitimate businesses.
I move for a complete dismissal of this entire case!
Thank you. It was a gift.
Once inside, we just pick the right float.
How about The Princess and the Pea?
I could be the princess, and you could be the pea!
Yes, I got it.
Where should I sit?
What are you?
I believe I’m the pea.
The pea? This is the real thing you are supposed to quote
It goes under the mattresses.
Not in this fairy tale, sweetheart.
I’m getting the marshal.
You do that! This whole parade is a fiasco!
Let’s see what this baby’ll do.
Hey, what are you doing?!
Then all we do is blend in with traffic… without arousing suspicion.
Once at the airport, there’s no stopping us.
Stop! Security.
You and your insect pack your float?
Yes.
Has it been in your possession the entire time?
Would you remove your shoes?
Remove your stinger.
It’s part of me.
I know. Just having some fun.
Enjoy your flight.
Then if we’re lucky, we’ll have just enough pollen to do the job.
Can you believe how lucky we are? We have just enough pollen to do the job!
I think this is gonna work.
It’s got to work.
Attention, passengers, this is Captain Scott. We have a bit of bad weather in New York. It looks like we’ll experience a couple hours delay.
Barry, these are cut flowers with no water. They’ll never make it.
I gotta get up there and talk to them.
Be careful.
Can I get help with the Sky Mall magazine? I’d like to order the talking inflatable nose and ear hair trimmer.
Captain, I’m in a real situation.
What’d you say, Hal?
Nothing.
Bee!
Don’t freak out! My entire species…
What are you doing?
Wait a minute! I’m an attorney!
Who’s an attorney?
Don’t move.
Oh, Barry.
Good afternoon, passengers. This is your captain. Would a Miss Vanessa Bloome in 24B please report to the cockpit? And please hurry!
What happened here?
There was a DustBuster, a toupee, a life raft exploded.
One’s bald, one’s in a boat, they’re both unconscious!
Is that another bee joke?
No!
No one’s flying the plane!
This is JFK control tower, Flight 356. What’s your status?
This is Vanessa Bloome. I’m a florist from New York.
Where’s the pilot?
He’s unconscious, and so is the copilot.
Not good. Does anyone onboard have flight experience?
As a matter of fact, there is.
Who’s that?
Barry Benson.
From the honey trial?! Oh, great.
Vanessa, this is nothing more than a big metal bee.
It’s got giant wings, huge engines.
I can’t fly a plane.
Why not? Isn’t John Travolta a pilot?
Yes.
How hard could it be?
Wait, Barry!
We’re headed into some lightning.
This is Bob Bumble. We have some late-breaking news from JFK Airport, where a suspenseful scene is developing.
Barry Benson, fresh from his legal victory…
That’s Barry!
…is attempting to land a plane, loaded with people, flowers and an incapacitated flight crew.
Flowers?!
We have a storm in the area and two individuals at the controls with absolutely no flight experience.
Just a minute. There’s a bee on that plane.
I’m quite familiar with Mr. Benson and his no-account compadres.
They’ve done enough damage.
But isn’t he your only hope?
Technically, a bee shouldn’t be able to fly at all.
Their wings are too small… Haven’t we heard this a million times?
“The surface area of the wings and body mass make no sense.”
Get this on the air!
Got it.
Stand by.
We’re going live.
The way we work may be a mystery to you. Making honey takes a lot of bees doing a lot of small jobs.
But let me tell you about a small job. If you do it well, it makes a big difference.
More than we realized. To us, to everyone.
That’s why I want to get bees back to working together. That’s the bee way! We’re not made of Jell-O.
We get behind a fellow.
Black and yellow!
Hello!
Left, right, down, hover.
Hover?
Forget hover.
This isn’t so hard.
Beep-beep! Beep-beep!
Barry, what happened?!
Wait, I think we were on autopilot the whole time.
That may have been helping me.
And now we’re not!
So it turns out I cannot fly a plane.
All of you, let’s get behind this fellow! Move it out!
Move out!
Our only chance is if I do what I’d do, you copy me with the wings of the plane!
Don’t have to yell.
I’m not yelling! We’re in a lot of trouble.
It’s very hard to concentrate with that panicky tone in your voice!
It’s not a tone. I’m panicking!
I can’t do this!
Vanessa, pull yourself together. You have to snap out of it!
You snap out of it.
You snap out of it.
You snap out of it!
You snap out of it!
You snap out of it!
You snap out of it!
You snap out of it!
You snap out of it!
Hold it!
Why? Come on, it’s my turn.
How is the plane flying?
I don’t know.
Hello?
Benson, got any flowers for a happy occasion in there?
The Pollen Jocks!
They do get behind a fellow.
Black and yellow.
Hello.
All right, let’s drop this tin can on the blacktop.
Where? I can’t see anything. Can you?
No, nothing. It’s all cloudy.
Come on. You got to think bee, Barry.
Thinking bee.
Thinking bee.
Thinking bee!
Thinking bee! Thinking bee!
Wait a minute. I think I’m feeling something.
What?
I don’t know. It’s strong, pulling me.
Like a 27-million-year-old instinct.
Bring the nose down.
Thinking bee!
Thinking bee! Thinking bee!
What in the world is on the tarmac?
Get some lights on that!
Thinking bee!
Thinking bee! Thinking bee!
Vanessa, aim for the flower.
OK.
Cut the engines. We’re going in on bee power. Ready, boys?
Affirmative!
Good. Good. Easy, now. That’s it.
Land on that flower!
Ready? Full reverse!
Spin it around!
Not that flower! The other one!
Which one?
That flower.
I’m aiming at the flower!
That’s a fat guy in a flowered shirt.
I mean the giant pulsating flower made of millions of bees!
Pull forward. Nose down. Tail up.
Rotate around it.
