This stuff tastes like crap.
Really? Let me try some. [tastes it] Hey, it is crap! Not bad. [continues eating] Somebody needs to feed that fire.
Dude, I did it last time.
Well, I'm not gonna get it. It's not my job.
What about the new guy? He hasn't contributed yet.
Z Marion-4195
And...you know, he just died in my arms like that. I...You know, I don't think he ever once, in his life, made his own choice.
Princess Bala
I never knew it was like that. I mean, up in the palace...Well, I guess we just let the General make all the decisions.
Z Marion-4195
Let me ask you something - what made you come to the bar that night?
Princess Bala
I guess I was looking for a little trouble.
Z Marion-4195
Well, trouble's my middle name. Actually, my middle name is Marion, but, uh, I don't want you spreading that around.
Princess Bala
You're pretty strange. You do know that, don't you?
Z Marion-4195
Well, [clears throat] "strange" is...not exactly the word I would use, you know-
Princess Bala
I like it. You're not like anyone else.
Z Marion-4195
Actually, now that you mention it, I...there is a certain strangeness to me. I mean, it's a...you know, kind of a bizarre quality. Some have said "freak". But it's, uh, you know, complimentary.
Hey, new guy! We need more wood.
Z Marion-4195
I'll be right back. Just hold that thought - whatever...whatever it is you were thinking. [to the other bugs, as he leaves] Hey, you ever wonder why they call you guys "pests"?
What if, like, we're just these tiny things, and we're just, like, part of this whole other huge universe that's, like, so big we don't even know it exists?
Man, that is so deep.
Z Marion-4195
Perfect. Nothing like a little manual labor on the most romantic night of my life.
Colonel Cutter
Hi. I was in the neighborhood and I thought I'd drop in. This is, uh, very bohemian.
Aloha, dude. Welcome to Insec...
Colonel Cutter
Sorry for interrupting. You see, our princess has, uh, gone missing, and we're just sick about it. She's about yea tall, fairly easy... [pause] ...on the eyes. Anybody seen her?
That's her.
Colonel Cutter
Don't worry, Princess, you'll be back home soon.
Princess Bala
Listen, Cutter, I'm... I'm not going back.
Colonel Cutter
The thing is, Princess, I got orders.
Princess Bala
Orders? Can't you just once think for yourself?
Colonel Cutter
Well, that was very impressive. Where's Z?
Z? He's, uh...
Princess Bala
Dead. Z's dead. You don't need to worry about him.
Colonel Cutter
Z's dead. Well, he was an ant with ideas. Too bad for him. Princess, your colony needs you.
Princess Bala
Cutter! Stop right now! Let go of me!
Z Marion-4195
Bala! Stop, you... Oh, no. [muttering] What am I gonna do? All right, look. Let's be rational about this. You know, Bala and I, you know, she's a princess, and I'm a... I'm a soil-relocation engineer. So wha... You're no... Whew! On the other hand, uh, I've gotta go back for her.
Chip
I'll-I'll give you a lift. S-S-S... [falls to the ground] It's the least I can do. Besides, it's what my waddly-kittles would want. [he starts crying]
Z Marion-4195
Uh, look... [clears throat] ...how about a cup of joe first?
Chip
Well, old boy, saddle up.
Z Marion-4195
I think I saw a puddle of coffee over there. It... Whoa! Look out!
