JACKSON Let's have some fun with them. The pollen jocks approach.
Barry and Adam continue to talk to the girls. GIRL 1 It must be so dangerous being a pollen jock.
BARRY Oh yeah, one time a bear had me pinned up against a mushroom. He had one paw on my throat, and with the other he was slapping me back and forth across the face.
GIRL 1 Oh my. BARRY I never thought I'd knock him out.
GIRL 2 (to Adam) And what were you doing during all of this? ADAM Obviously I was trying to alert the authorities. The girl swipes some pollen off of Adam with a finger.
BARRY (re: pollen) I can autograph that if you want. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 13.
JACKSON Little gusty out there today, wasn't it, comrades? BARRY Yeah. Gusty.
BUZZ You know, we're going to hit a sunflower patch about six miles from here tomorrow. BARRY Six miles, huh? ADAM (whispering) Barry.
BUZZ It's a puddle-jump for us. But maybe you're not up for it.
BARRY Maybe I am. ADAM (whispering louder) You are not! BUZZ We're going, oh-nine hundred at JGate.
ADAM (re: j-gate) Whoa. BUZZ (leaning in, on top of Barry) What do you think, Buzzy Boy? Are you bee enough? BARRY I might be.
It all depends on what oh-nine hundred means. CUT TO: SEQ.

MARTIN BENSON (laughing) Have you decided what you're interested in, Son? BARRY Well, there's a lot of choices. MARTIN BENSON But you only get one.
Martin LAUGHS. BARRY Dad, do you ever get bored doing the same job every day? MARTIN BENSON Son, let me tell you something about stirring.
(making the stirring motion) 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 BENSON And you were thinking of what, making balloon animals? That's a bad job for a guy with a stinger.
"Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 15. BARRY Well no.

MARTIN BENSON Janet, your son's not sure he wants to go into honey. JANET BENSON Oh Barry, you are so funny sometimes.
BARRY I'm not trying to be funny. MARTIN BENSON You're not funny, you're going into honey.
Our son, the stirrer. JANET BENSON You're going to be a stirrer?! BARRY No one's listening to me.
MARTIN BENSON Wait until you see the sticks I have for you. BARRY I can say anything I want right now.
I'm going to get an ant tattoo. JANET BENSON Let's open some fresh honey and celebrate.
BARRY Maybe I'll pierce my thorax! MARTIN BENSON (toasting) To honey! BARRY Shave my antennae! JANET BENSON To honey! "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 16. BARRY Shack up with a grasshopper, get a gold tooth, and start calling everybody "Dawg.
