A scene from A Bug's Life 1998
Princess Atta

You don't think I've offended the warriors, do you?

Flik

You? No!

Princess Atta

Oh, good. Because, you see, when you first brought them here, I'd thought you'd hired a bunch of clowns!

Flik

[voice suddenly higher]

You did?

Princess Atta

Don't tell 'em I said that! That's all I need: another "royal blunder".

Flik

Princess! You're doing a great job.

Princess Atta

Thanks. You're sweet. You're wrong, but sweet. I know what everyone really thinks.

Flik

I don't follow.

Princess Atta

Everyone, the whole colony. Nobody really believes I can do this job. It's like they're all watching me. Just... just...

Flik

Waiting for you to screw up.

Princess Atta

Flik, I owe you an apology.

Flik

For what?

Princess Atta

Well, I haven't been that nice to you, and I'm sorry. If there's any way I can make it up to you... Hey! I know! How would you like to be the queen's official aide to the warrior bugs?

Flik

Me?

Princess Atta

Oh, sure. You've got a great rapport going with them, especially after that rescue. It was very brave. Well, not every bug would face a bird! I mean, even Hopper's afraid of 'em!

Flik

Say that again.

Princess Atta

I said, even Hopper's afraid of birds!

Flik

Thank you. [kissing Atta's hand]
[Atta smiles]
