Neat.

Here, Paul, take this.

- Here you go, hon.

- Thanks, babe.

Paul, look at that over there.

I think there's a waterfall

we can go to after.

- Hand me the cups, please.

- Sure.

Would you go to the car

and get the thermos?

Go away.

- It's just a bee. Leave him alone.

- They're into everything.

I'll get them.

Get out of the way, honey.

I think that's enough, you're gonna

wreck the food. I'm hungry.

It's so hot.

- Hey, wait for Paul.

- I can't. I'm starving.

Mom, Dad! Look!

Dad! Come on, get in the car.

Mom!

Dad!

Mom!

Mom! Dad!

General Thompson coming on-screen.

General, we've received

and decoded your report.

We're having credibility problems

with the nature of the attack.

Specifically, with your statement

it was not a chemical war strike.

We can find no evidence of that, sir.

Your suggestion the attack is natural.

What is that?

I'm having the same problem accepting

that swarms of bees attacked...

Has that civilian

been cleared, general?

No, sir.

What is he doing in our complex?

When I arrived with my special defense

unit, he was already inside the complex.

He claims he walked in through

the open gate.

I am Dr. Brad Crane, an entomologist.

I asked your man to check my

credentials with Dr. Arthur Connors.

Nobody believes me.

I have been placed in custody.

Every minute now is precious.

We have been invaded by an enemy

far more lethal than any human force.

Well, Dr. Crane, we're going to check

with the White House.

Dr. Connors had better know you,

for your sake.

- Afternoon, Felix.

- Afternoon, ma'am.

- How are you feeling today?

- Now that you're here, just fine.

Nicely said.

Everything's looking pretty, Maureen,

including you.

Thank you, Clarence. The wire

and the pliers, please.

Felix, think that rigging

is going to keep my banner up?

Just because you're mayor of Marysville

doesn't make you an engineer.

Don't be worrying about my rigging.

She'll stay up in a hurricane.

I was thinking how corny your banner

reads. Makes us look like hicks.

Nobody asked you

to retire here, you know.

Clarence, that's not nice.

We've been doing fine with our

Flower Festival...

...until this master mechanic genius

came to tell us how to run things.

Well, actually, the sign is sort of

hicky. That's what people expect.

The hammer too. That's why

thousands flock here each year...

...to see the parade and our beautiful

flower floats.

That's right. We'll grant this

isn't Pasadena.

It isn't the Rose Bowl.

It's a country-town imitation!

I'll tell you one thing

I do approve of.

This year's theme: "Love."

- Now, that was Clarence's idea.

- That's right.

Well, everybody's got to have one good
