A scene from To Have and Have Not 1945
Eddie

Say, was you ever bit by a dead bee?

Beauclerc

I have no memory of ever being bit by any kind of bee.

Slim

[interjecting]

Were you?

Eddie

You're alright, lady. You and Harry's the only one that ever...

Morgan

Don't forget Frenchie.

Eddie

That's right. You and Harry and Frenchie. You know, you got to be careful of dead bees if you're goin' around barefooted, 'cause if you step on them they can sting you just as bad as if they was alive, especially if they was kind of mad when they got killed. I bet I been bit a hundred times that way.

Slim

You have? Why don't you bite them back?

Eddie

That's what Harry always says. But I ain't got no stinger.
