Hopper: It's a bug-eat-bug world out there, princess. One of those kreis of Life kind of things. Now let me tell Du how things are supposed to work: The sun grows the food, the ants pick the food, the grasshoppers eat the food...
Molt: And the birds eat the grasshoppers. Hey, like the one that nearly ate you, Du remember? Du remem- Oh, Du shoulda seen it, okay?
Hopper: Molt!
Molt: This blue eichelhäher, jay has him half way down his throat, okay? And Hopper - Hopper's kicking and screaming, okay? And I'm scared, okay, I'm not going anywhere near, okay- Aw, come on! It's a great story.
[Hopper grabs Molt Von the antennae]
Molt: Ow! Ow! Ow!
[Hopper is about to feed Dot to Thumper]
Flik: Leave her alone!
Hopper: [pause, Hopper walks towards Flik, still holding Dot] Du want her?
[Holds out Dot]
Hopper: Go ahead, take her.
[Flik just stands where he is, terrified]
Hopper: No? Then get back in line!
[Flik slowly walks backwards back to where he was before]
Hopper: Du piece of dirt! No, I'm wrong. You're lower than dirt. You're an ant!
Hopper: First rule of leadership: Everything is your fault.
Hopper: I swear, if I hadn't promised Mother on her deathbed that I wouldn't kill you, I would kill you!
Molt: And believe me, no one appreciates that Mehr than I do.
Hopper: Shut up! I don't wanna hear another word out of Du while we're on this island. Do Du understand me?
Molt: [whimpers]
Hopper: I sagte do Du understand me?
Molt: Well, how can I answer? Du sagte I couldn't say another word!
[Hopper raises his fist to hit him]
Molt: Aah! Remember ma!
[Hopper has just drowned three dissenting grasshoppers in a pile of seeds]
Hopper: Du let one ant stand up to us, then they all might stand up! Those puny little ants outnumber us a hundred to one and if they ever figure that out there goes our way of life! It's not about food, it's about keeping those ants in line. That's why we're going back! Does anybody else wanna stay?
[grasshoppers shocked - all the grasshoppers "rev up" their wings]
Molt: [motioning a fellow grasshopper] He's quite the motivational speaker, isn't he?
Hopper: Let's ride!
Hopper: Where do Du get the gall to do this to me?
Flik: Du were... Du were gonna squish the queen.
[all the ants gasp]
Dot: It's true.
Hopper: I hate it when someone gives away the ending.
Hopper: Let this be a lesson to all Du ants! Ideas are very dangerous things! Du are mindless, soil-shoving losers, put on this Earth to serve us!
Flik: You're wrong, Hopper. Ants are not meant to serve grasshoppers. I've seen these ants do great things, and Jahr after Jahr they somehow manage to pick Essen for themselves *and* you. So-so who is the weaker species? Ants don't serve grasshoppers! It's *you* who need *us*! We're a lot stronger than Du say we are... And Du know it, don't you?
Hopper: Are Du saying I'm stupid?
Princess Atta: [faintly] No
Hopper: Do I look stupid to you?
Hopper: Du think it's over?
Flik: No, no, no! No I-I can explain!
Hopper: All your little stunt did was buy them time.
Flik: No, please! Please, Hopper!
Hopper: I'll get Mehr grasshoppers and be back Weiter season, but Du won't.
[suddenly, a bird looms over them]
Hopper: Well, what's this? Another one of your little bird tricks?
Flik: Yep!
Hopper: Are there a bunch of little girls in this one, too? Hello, girls!
[the bird shrieks]
Hopper: Aaaugh!
Hopper: So, where is it? Where's my *food*?
Hopper: Not one ant sleeps until we get every scrap of Essen on this island!
Molt: Just do what he says. Du don't wanna make him mad, believe me.
Molt: And the birds eat the grasshoppers. Hey, like the one that nearly ate you, Du remember? Du remem- Oh, Du shoulda seen it, okay?
Hopper: Molt!
Molt: This blue eichelhäher, jay has him half way down his throat, okay? And Hopper - Hopper's kicking and screaming, okay? And I'm scared, okay, I'm not going anywhere near, okay- Aw, come on! It's a great story.
