A scene from A Bug's Life 1998
Scared Ant #1
[First lines; The movie begins as the line of ants marches to the stone; one ant spots a shadow moving across the ground. He looks up and gasps. A leaf is falling from the overhead tree] [gasps]

No, no, no, Oh, no. Oh, no.

Scared Ant #1
[the leaf lands in front of one of the worker ants in the food line]

I'M LOST!! Where's the line?! It just went away! What do I do?!

Scared Ant #2

Help!

Scared Ant #3

We'll be stuck here forever!

Mr. Soil

Do not panic. Do not panic! We are trained professionals. Now, stay calm. We are going around the leaf.

Scared Ant #1

Around the leaf. I-I-I don't think we can do that.

Mr. Soil

Oh, nonsense. This is nothing compared to the twig of '93. [gestured for the line of nervous ants to come towards him] That's it. That's it. Good! You're doing great! There you go. There you go! Watch my eyes. Don't look away. And here's the line again.

Scared Ant #1
[gleeful shout]

Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Soil!

Mr. Soil

Good job, everybody!

Dr. Flora

Oh, my. There's quite a gap, Mr. Soil. Shouldn't we tell the queen?

Mr. Soil

I don't think we need to involve the queen in this. She's got enough on her plate already: training her daughter.

Dr. Flora

Oh, yes, Princess Atta. The poor dear.
