Hopper: It's a bug-eat-bug world out there, princess. One of those mduara, duara of Life kind of things. Now let me tell wewe 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, wewe remember? wewe remem- Oh, wewe shoulda seen it, okay?
Hopper: Molt!
Molt: This blue 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 kwa 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] wewe 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: wewe 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 zaidi than I do.
Hopper: Shut up! I don't wanna hear another word out of wewe while we're on this island. Do wewe understand me?
Molt: [whimpers]
Hopper: I alisema do wewe understand me?
Molt: Well, how can I answer? wewe alisema 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: wewe 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 wewe get the gall to do this to me?
Flik: wewe were... wewe 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 wewe ants! Ideas are very dangerous things! wewe 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 mwaka after mwaka they somehow manage to pick chakula 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 wewe say we are... And wewe know it, don't you?
Hopper: Are wewe saying I'm stupid?
Princess Atta: [faintly] No
Hopper: Do I look stupid to you?
Hopper: wewe 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 zaidi grasshoppers and be back inayofuata season, but wewe 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 chakula on this island!
Molt: Just do what he says. wewe don't wanna make him mad, believe me.
Molt: And the birds eat the grasshoppers. Hey, like the one that nearly ate you, wewe remember? wewe remem- Oh, wewe shoulda seen it, okay?
Hopper: Molt!
