• 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?

• Colonel Cutter : She's about yay tall, fairly easy

  [pause] 

  Colonel Cutter : on the eyes.

• 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]
