Barry
But you've never been a police officer of any kind, have you?

Discussion of Honey Farm Ownership
Barry
So, Mr. Klaus Van Der Haden of Honey Farms. Pretty big company you have there.
Klaus
I suppose so.
Barry
And I see you also own Honeyburton and Honron!
Klaus

Barry
I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you.
Klaus
No.

Courtroom Inquiry About Friendship
Mr. Montgomery
Mr. Benson Bee, I'm going to ask what I think the entire court here would like to know... what exactly is your relationship to that woman?
[Vanessa gasps]
Barry
We're friends.
Mr. Montgomery
Good friends?
Barry
Yes.
Mr. Montgomery
How good?
Barry
Now, hang on--
Mr. Montgomery
Do you live together?
Barry
Wait, that's not--
Mr. Montgomery
Are you her little... bedbug?
Mr. Montgomery
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, my grandmother was a simple woman. Born on a farm, she believed it was man's divine right to benefit from the county of nature God put before us. If we were to live the topsy-turvy world Mr. Benson imagines, just think of what if would mean? Maybe I would have to negotiate with the silkworm for the elastic in my britches! Talking bee! How do we know this isn't some sort of holographic motion-picture-capture hollywood wizardry? They could be using laser beams! Robotics! Ventriloquism! Cloning! For all we know he could be on steroids!
Barry
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, there's no trickery here. I'm just an ordinary bee. And as a bee, honey's pretty important to me. It's important to all bees. We invented it, we make it, and we protect it with our lives. Unfortunately, there are some people in this room who think they can take whatever they want from us, cause we're the little guys! And what I'm hoping is that after this is all over, you'll see how by taking our honey, you're not only taking away everything we have, but everything we are!
