General Mandible: [his first words] Workers. They're weak. They lack discipline. They lack commitment.
Foreman: [he comes in] General, I know there's been a glitch or two. But everybody is working full tilt as it is, and-
General Mandible: You can't help it, it's your nature. But in spite of your limitations, you are going to finish this tunnel on schedule. Come hell or high water. For now on, anyone who falls behind is going to have to explain themselves to Colonel Cutter. And let me assure you, the colonel is not as understanding as I am. Dismissed. Four more days, Cutter. Four more days. Then we can bid final farewell to their kind of incompetence.
Colonel Cutter: Yes, sir.
General Mandible: A fresh start. Imagine it!
Colonel Cutter: A strong colony, sir. A colony we can be proud of.
General Mandible: Yes, but we're not there yet. Cutter, we just got word that a termite army has mobilized against us.
Colonel Cutter: Against us?
General Mandible: We'll have to send troops deep into hostile territory to attack their colony.

General Mandible: Exactly. Do you have the list I asked for?
Colonel Cutter: Yes, General. [takes the list to General] These are the units loyal to the queen.
General Mandible: Hm. Then they're the ones we'll be sending. It's a shame. There's some fine officers here.
