Pure dumb luck, he's not getting squished. BARRY (with each bounce) Very close.
. .
Gonna Hurt. .
. Mamma's little boy.
SPLITZ You are way out of position, rookie. ANGLE ON: Vanessa serving.
We see Barry and the ball up against the racket as she brings it back. She tosses the ball into the air; Barry's eyes widen.
The ball is STRUCK, and the rally is on. KEN Coming in at you like a missile! Ken HITS the ball back.
Barry feels the g-forces. ANGLE ON: The Pollen Jocks watching Barry pass by them in SLOW MOTION.
"Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 26. BARRY (in slow motion) Help me! JACKSON You know, I don't think these are flowers.
SPLITZ Should we tell him? JACKSON I think he knows. BARRY (O.
S) What is this?! Vanessa HITS a high arcing lob. Ken waits, poised for the return.
We see Barry having trouble maneuvering the ball from fatigue. KEN (overly confident) Match point! ANGLE ON: Ken running up.
He has a killer look in his eyes. He's going to hit the ultimate overhead smash.
KEN (CONT'D) You can just start packing up Honey, because I believe you're about to eat it! ANGLE ON: Pollen Jocks. JACKSON Ahem! Ken is distracted by the jock.
KEN What? No! He misses badly. The ball rockets into oblivion.
Barry is still hanging on. ANGLE ON: Ken, berating himself.
KEN (CONT'D) Oh, you cannot be serious. We hear the ball WHISTLING, and Barry SCREAMING.
"Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 27. BARRY Yowser!!! SEQ.
1000 - "SUV" The ball flies through the air, and lands in the middle of the street. It bounces into the street again, and sticks in the grille of an SUV.
INT. CAR ENGINE - CONTINUOUS BARRY'S POV: the grille of the SUV sucks him up.
He tumbles through a black tunnel, whirling vanes, and pistons. BARRY AHHHHHHHHHHH!! OHHHH!! EECHHH!! AHHHHHH!! Barry gets chilled by the A/C system, and sees a frozen grasshopper.
BARRY (CONT'D) (re: grasshopper) Eww, gross. CUT TO: INT.
CAR - CONTINUOUS The car is packed with a typical suburban family: MOTHER, FATHER, eight-year old BOY, LITTLE GIRL in a car seat and a GRANDMOTHER. A big slobbery DOG is behind a grate.
Barry pops into the passenger compartment, hitting the Mother's magazine. MOTHER There's a bee in the car! They all notice the bee and start SCREAMING.
BARRY Aaahhhh! Barry tumbles around the car. We see the faces from his POV.
MOTHER Do something! "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 28. FATHER I'm driving! Barry flies by the little girl in her CAR SEAT.
She waves hello. LITTLE GIRL Hi, bee.
SON He's back here! He's going to sting me! The car SWERVES around the road. Barry flies into the back, where the slobbery dog SNAPS at him.
Barry deftly avoids the jaws and gross, flying SPITTLE. MOTHER Nobody move.
If you don't move, he won't sting you. Freeze! Everyone in the car freezes.
Barry freezes. They stare at each other, eyes going back and forth, waiting to see who will make the first move.
Barry blinks. GRANNY He blinked! Granny pulls out a can of HAIR SPRAY.
SON Spray him, Granny! Granny sprays the hair spray everywhere. FATHER What are you doing? GRANNY It's hair spray! Extra hold! MOTHER Kill it! Barry gets sprayed back by the hair spray, then sucked out of the sunroof.
CUT TO: "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 29. EXT.
CITY STREET - CONTINUOUS BARRY Wow. The tension level out here is unbelievable.
I've got to get home. As Barry flies down the street, it starts to RAIN.
He nimbly avoids the rain at first. BARRY (CONT'D) Whoa.
Whoa! Can't fly in rain! Can't fly in rain! Can't fly in-- A couple of drops hit him, his wings go limp and he starts falling. BARRY (CONT'D) Mayday! Mayday! Bee going down! Barry sees a window ledge and aims for it and just makes it.
Shivering and exhausted, he crawls into an open window as it CLOSES. SEQ.
1100 - "VANESSA SAVES BARRY" INT. VANESSA'S APARTMENT - CONTINUOUS Inside the window, Barry SHAKES off the rain like a dog.
Vanessa, Ken, Andy, and Anna ENTER the apartment. VANESSA Ken, can you close the window please? KEN Huh? Oh.
(to Andy) Hey, check out my new resume. I made it into a fold-out brochure.
You see? It folds out. Ken holds up his brochure, with photos of himself, and a resume in the middle.
ANGLE ON: Barry hiding behind the curtains, as Ken CLOSES THE WINDOW. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 30.
BARRY Oh no, more humans. I don't need this.
Barry HOVERS up into the air and THROWS himself into the glass. BARRY (CONT'D) (dazed) Ow! What was that? He does it again, and then multiple more times.
BARRY (CONT'D) Maybe this time. .
. this time, this time, this time, this time, this time, this time, this time.
Barry JUMPS onto the drapes. BARRY (CONT'D) (out of breath) Drapes! (then, re: glass) That is diabolical.
KEN It's fantastic. It's got all my special skills, even my top ten favorite movies.
ANDY What's your number one? Star Wars? KEN Ah, I don't go for that, (makes Star Wars noises), kind of stuff. ANGLE ON: Barry.
BARRY No wonder we're not supposed to talk to them. They're out of their minds.
KEN When I walk out of a job interview they're flabbergasted. They can't believe the things I say.
Barry looks around and sees the LIGHT BULB FIXTURE in the middle of the ceiling. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 31.
BARRY (re: light bulb) Oh, there's the sun. Maybe that's a way out.
Barry takes off and heads straight for the light bulb. His POV: The seventy-five watt label grows as he gets closer.
BARRY (CONT'D) I don't remember the sun having a big seventy five on it. Barry HITS the bulb and is KNOCKED SILLY.
He falls into a BOWL OF GUACAMOLE. Andy dips his chip in the guacamole, taking Barry with it.
ANGLE ON: Ken and Andy. KEN I'll tell you what.
You know what? I predicted global warming. I could feel it getting hotter.
