A Bug's Life1998
Dr. Flora:
Hey! Stop that!
Mr. Soil:
What do you think you're doing?!
Dr. Flora:
You could have killed somebody over here!
Flik:
[Looks up and gasps, running over] I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
Thorny:
[Annoyed] Oh, it's Flik.
[Cornelius groans]
Flik:
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Please forgive me! I'm sorry! [The council members lift the stalk, freeing Atta] Princess Atta!
Princess Atta:
Flik, what are you doing?
Flik:
Oh... Oh, this? This is my new idea for harvesting grain! No more picking individual kernels! You can just cut down the entire stalk!
Princess Atta:
Flik, we don't have time for this.
Flik:
Exactly! We never have time to collect food for ourselves, because we spend all summer harvesting for the offering. But my invention will speed up production.
Princess Atta:
[groans] Another invention?
Flik:
Yeah, and I've got something for you, too. [Picks up a blade of grass and folds it into a cone]
Princess Atta:
[sighs] Flik!
Flik:
Since you're gonna be queen soon, you could use this to oversee production. [Borrows a dewdrop from Dr. Flora] Dr. Flora, if I may.
Dr. Flora:
[gasps] Oh!
Princess Atta:
This is all very nice, but...
Thorny:
What?
Flik:
Just an ordinary blade of grass and a bead of dew, right?
Princess Atta:
Flik, please.
Flik:
Wrong! It is, in fact... [Drops the dewdrop in the middle of the blade] A telescope!
[Dot and Queen laugh]
Princess Atta:
It's very clever, Flik, but...
[Flik peers at Atta through the telescope]
Flik:
Hello, princess! My, aren't you looking lovely this morning! Not, of course, that you would need a telescope to see that...
Thorny:
All right, listen! The princess doesn't have time for this! You want to help us fill this thing?! Then get rid of that machine, get back in line and pick grain like everybody else!
Cornelius:
Like everybody else!
Princess Atta:
Please, Flik. Just go.
Flik:
I'm sorry. I was... I was really just trying... Trying to help.
Cornelius:
Harvester. Why, we've harvested the same way ever since I was a pupa.
