Princess Atta Quotes in A Bug's Life (1998)

Flik: [has just realized the "warrior bugs" are from the circus] Your Highness! The warriors have called a secret meeting to make plans for circus, uh, *circumventing* the oncoming horde, so they can trapeze - *trap* them with ease!

Princess Atta: Well, shouldn't I come, too?

Flik: No! Ha ha ha! Sorry. No, no, see it's classified in the DMZ, gotta go ASAP, you know, strictly BYOB. Bye!

Hopper: Are you saying I'm stupid?

Princess Atta: [faintly] No

Hopper: Do I look stupid to you?

Princess Atta: You see Hopper, Nature has a certain order. The ants pick the food, the ants keep the food, and the grasshoppers leave!

Princess Atta: You don't think I've offended the warriors, do you?

Flik: *You*? No!

Princess Atta: Oh, good. Because, you see, when you first brought them here, I'd thought you'd hired a bunch of clowns!

Flik: [voice suddenly higher] You *did*?

[laughs nervously]

Princess Atta: I think I'll go check on the bird.

[exits left, then enters again, embarrassed]

Princess Atta: Bird's *this* way.

Flik: [laughs with dazed expression on his face] Yeah the bird's that way

[turns to the circus bugs, who have knowing smiles on their faces]

Flik: She went the- What?

Princess Atta: You mean you're not warriors?

P.T. Flea: Are you kidding? These guys are the lousiest circus bugs you've ever seen, and they're gonna make me rich!

[the ants watch as Heimlich gets stuck during the bird attack]

Princess Atta: The caterpillar's using himself as live bait.

Mr. Soil: How brave!

Heimlich: [as bird looms over him] Aaaaaaaaah!

Hopper: [outraged that the ants failed to make their deadline] You little termites! I give you a second chance, AND THIS IS ALL I GET?'!

[throws the unfinished pile of grain down at the ants' feet]

Princess Atta: But, Hopper, we ran out of time!

Hopper: Have you been playing all summer? You think this is a game? Well, guess what? You just lost!
