General Mandible : [Z has broken through to the surface where Mandible and his soldiers wait for them to be drowned] Let go! Don't you understand? It's for the good of the colony!
Z : What are you saying? We are the colony!
[Mandible is about to strike Z when Cutter knocks his aside]
General Mandible : Cutter, what are you doing?
Colonel Cutter : Something I should have done a long time ago.
[extends his hand to the worker ants]
Colonel Cutter : *This* is for the good of the colony, General.
General Mandible : You useless, ungrateful maggot! *I* am the colony!
-
Colonel Cutter : I have my orders.
Bala : Don't you ever think for yourself, Cutter?
[Cutter pauses briefly as he considers this]
Colonel Cutter : Well, that was impressive. Ah, where's Z?
-
Bala : Z's dead. You don't have to worry about him.
Colonel Cutter : Dead? Well... he was an ant with ideas. Too bad for him.
-
General Mandible : Seal up the doors. Cutter, did you hear me?
Colonel Cutter : Sir, I've been thinking. Do we need to go through with this? Look at what these workers have done. They've got the right stuff. Isn't there any other way?
General Mandible : Cutter, you're a fine officer. You have discipline, courage, ability... but you seem to have a weakness for the lower orders that I find disturbing. Now, are you with me?
-
Colonel Cutter : Time stands still for no ant.
-
Colonel Cutter : Attack a termite colony? That's suicide.
General Mandible : Exactly.

[Weaver gets punched by one of Mandible's guards]
General Mandible : That's enough.
Weaver : I ain't telling you nothing.
General Mandible : Soldier, the princess is vital to the future of this colony. She must be returned to take their place as queen.
Weaver : We already have the queen.
General Mandible : As for your friend, Z, why should I hurt him?
[chuckles]
General Mandible : He's not important. Now, soldier, we all know that one individual ant doesn't matter. Not you. Not Cutter.
[the door opens while the guards taking Azteca]
General Mandible : Not even her.
Weaver : [turns to her] Azteca!
[runs to her, the guards grabs his shoulder and turns him back]
Azteca : Don't tell that tight ass anything, Weaver.
[the guards grab her]
General Mandible : Where is Z?
Weaver : I don't know where he is.
General Mandible : Hmm. That's too bad.
[He leaves and the guards grabbing Azteca]
Weaver : Wait! Insectopia. I know it sounds crazy, but that's where he'd be going.
Colonel Cutter : Soldier, you think this is a game? Insectopia does not exist.
General Mandible : As a matter of fact, it does.
Colonel Cutter : Sir?
General Mandible : I'll brief you on the coordinates. You're gonna bring the princess back. And as for Z, kill him.
Weaver : But, you said he didn't matter.
General Mandible : It's for the good of the colony. You made the right decision. Gentlemen, now you can see how dangerous individualism can be. It makes us vulnerable.
[Weaver turns to Azteca, sadly. She sadly to him. The guards took her and the door closes]
General Mandible : Take him back to the Mega Tunnel. Put him on the front line. Dismissed.
[He leaves. The guards are taking Weaver to the mega tunnel]
