Quotes 

• Layton T. Montgomery : Will some angel of mercy come crawl to suck the poison from my heaving buttocks?

• Layton T. Montgomery : Talking bee-ah! How do we know this isn't some kind of holographic, motion-picture-capture Hollywood wizardry? They could be using laser beams! Robotics! Ventriloquism! Clones! For all we know, he could be on steroids!

• Barry B. Benson : Mister Sting, thank you for coming. Your name intrigues me, I must say. Where have I heard that name before?

  Sting : I was in a band called The Police.

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

  Sting : No, I haven't.

  Barry B. Benson : No, you haven't. And so you see, this is just another example of bee culture being casually stolen for nothing more than a prance-about stage name!

  Sting : Oh, please.

  Barry B. Benson : Have you ever been stung, Mr. Sting? Because I feel stung, Sting... or should I say, Gordon M. Sumner?

  Layton T. Montgomery : That's not his real name? You idiots!

• Layton T. 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?

  Barry B. Benson : We're friends.

  Layton T. Montgomery : Good friends?

  Barry B. Benson : Yes.

  Layton T. Montgomery : How good?

  Barry B. Benson : Now, hang on...

  Layton T. Montgomery : Do you live together?

  Barry B. Benson : Wait, that's not...

  Layton T. Montgomery : Are you her little... bedbug?

• Layton T. Montgomery : Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, my grandmother was a simple woman. She believed it's our divine right to benefit from the bounty of nature that God has provided us. If we were to live in the topsy-turvy world Mr. Benson imagines, think of what it would mean! Why, I'd have to negotiate with the silkworms for the elastic in my britches!
