Bee Movie Page #3

(The pollen jocks walk up to Barry and Adam, they pretend that Barry and Adam really are pollen jocks.)

Pollen Jock #1:
A little gusty out there today, wasn't it, comrades?

Barry:
Yeah. Gusty.

Pollen Jock #1:
We're hitting a sunflower patch six miles from here tomorrow.

Barry:
Six miles, huh?

Adam:
Barry!

Pollen Jock #2:
A puddle jump for us, but maybe you're not up for it.

Barry:
Maybe I am.

Adam:
You are not!

Pollen Jock #1:
We're going 0900 at J-Gate. What do you think, buzzy-boy? Are you bee enough?

Barry:
I might be. It all depends on what 0900 means.

(The scene cuts to Barry looking out on the hive-city from his balcony at night)

Martin:
Hey, Honex!

Barry:
Dad, you surprised me.

Martin:
You decide what you're interested in?

Barry:
Well, there's a lot of choices. But you only get one. Do you ever get bored doing the same job every day?

Martin:
Son, let me tell you about stirring. You grab that stick, and you just move it around, and you stir it around. You get yourself into a rhythm. It's a beautiful thing.

Barry:
You know, Dad, the more I think about it, maybe the honey field just isn't right for me.

Martin:
You were thinking of what, making balloon animals? That's a bad job for a guy with a stinger. Janet, your son's not sure he wants to go into honey!

Janet:
Barry, you are so funny sometimes.

Barry:
I'm not trying to be funny.

Martin:
You're not funny! You're going into honey. Our son, the stirrer!

Janet:
You're gonna be a stirrer?

Barry:
No one's listening to me!

Martin:
Wait till you see the sticks I have.

Barry:
I could say anything right now. I'm gonna get an ant tattoo!

(Barry's parents don't listen to him and continue to ramble on)

Martin:
Let's open some honey and celebrate!

Barry:
Maybe I'll pierce my thorax. Shave my antennae. Shack up with a grasshopper. Get a gold tooth and call everybody "dawg"!

Janet:
I'm so proud.

(The scene cuts to Barry and Adam waiting in line to get a job)

Adam:
We're starting work today!

Barry:
Today's the day.

Adam:
Come on! All the good jobs will be gone.

Barry:
Yeah, right.

Job Lister:
Pollen counting, stunt bee, pouring, stirrer, front desk, hair removal...

Bee in the front of the line: Is it still available?

Job Lister:
Hang on. Two left! One of them's yours! Congratulations! Step to the side.

Adam:
What'd you get?

Bee in the front of the line: Picking crud out. Stellar!

(He walks away)

Adam:
Wow!

Job Lister:
Couple of newbies?

Adam:
Yes, sir! Our first day! We are ready!

Job Lister:
Make your choice.

(Adam and Barry look up at the job board. There are hundreds of constantly changing panels that contain available or unavailable jobs. It looks very confusing)
