Dialogue

[Zoc is trying to crack some rock in order to get fire crystals for his potion, disturbing ants that are trying to sleep]
1st Ant: Hey! Hey, what are you doing?!
2nd Ant: Yeah, this is sleeping chamber. Go to sleep!
1st Ant: Don't make me come up there!
Zoc: [Insincerely] I'm so sorry. But I must have the final ingredient for my potion. Now, what's more important? Me completing my life's work for the salvation of the colony, which includes you guys, or your sleep?
1st Ant: Sleep. I'm going to sleep.
2nd Ant: Yeah, the second one.
Zoc: Well, then I shall try to be very quiet. Clacktiel!
[With his staff, Zoc explodes the rock that he's on which makes some debris fall onto the sleeping ants.]
1st Ant: That's it! I'm coming up there!
[A large rock suddenly lands on his head, making him unconscious]
Zoc: Fire crystals! At last! The final ingredient
Ant: I'm on vacation.
Lucas: No, no. Cut it out.
Steve: Dogpile.
Ant: It's the destroyer.
[Steve pulls on Lucas's underpants lifting Lucas from the ground in the process while Lucas screams]
Steve: Atomic wedgie and a clean break. [Lucas' underwear snaps. Kids cheer]
Lucas: Come on, man, I'm running out of underwear.
Steve: What you gonna do about it, huh? Nothing. Because I'm big and you're small.
[Zoc is working on his potion]
Zoc: I, Zoc, call upon the elements: the wind that blows, rain that falls, fire that burns! Deliver your awesome power and transform my potion! Clacktiel!
[He bangs fire crystals together but nothing happens, save for a measly wisp of smoke]
Hova: [clapping for Zoc] Yay! That was great, sweetie! I loved the smoke effect! [To Spindle] Didn't you, Spindle?
[Spindle chirps in agreement]
Zoc: Craznocks! [To fire crystal] Yyyoouu.... ROCK! Curse upon your children!
Hova: I don't think rocks have children, honey.
Zoc: [Throws fire crystal to the ground; sulkily] They won't now.
Hova: Okay, what's the matter?
Zoc: Hova, the potion is supposed to change color! It's not changing color! IT'S NOT CHANGIN' COLOR!! [Grabs two more fire crystals] I call upon the wind, rain, et cetera, transform my potion and Clacktiel!!
[Once again nothing happens, just smoke.]
Zoc: UUURRRRRGGGGGGGHHH!! [he angrily bangs them against each other a few more times] CLACKTIEL!! CLACKTIEL!! TICK-CLACKITY-CLACK!!
Hova: Maybe you're pronouncing it wrong?
Zoc: How could I pronounce it wrong? I made it up!
Hova: Well, hello there.
Lucas: AAAAAAAARGH!!
Hova: You know, there's a million things I wanna ask you. When were you hatched? Are you... are you male or female? And how do you tell the difference? Is it-- [looking down at Lucas] Oh. Uh... is that how?
Lucas: [yelps] Hey, stop peeking, or... or I'll stomp on you!
Hova: Oh, uh-huh? Well, I wouldn't if I were you. You see, I'm the only friend you've got.
Lucas: Aah! You're gonna eat me!
Hova: You know, now that you mention it, you do look soft and chewy. But, ahem, I promised the Queen I wouldn't.
Lucas: Um... cross your heart?
Hova: What? Oh, all right. [crosses her abdomen, where her heart is] Cross my heart, I will not eat you.
Lucas: I said "cross your heart", not your butt!
Hova: I just did! See? [does it again] There, did it again. Strange custom...
Fugax: Red one, Blech!
Kreela: What are you doing?! Why aren't you taking the red ones?!
Fugax: Well, it's quite simple, sugar-lips: I hate the red ones.
Kreela: Well, I loooove the red ones!
Fugax: Hate them!
Kreela: I love them!
Fugax: Hate, hate, hate!
Kreela: Love them!
Fugax: Hate!
Kreela: Love them!!
Fugax: Admit it, you find me attractive!
Kreela: WHAT?!
Fugax: Oh, how you tease me with that sweet talk!! [barks at her slovenly]
Kreela: Oh, you want some sweet talk?! [grabs Fugax by the antennas] Because I'll give you some sweet talk! Now grab a red one before I pull these off!

Fugax: WHOA, I NEED THOSE!!

[Zoc enters the room, humming happily to himself. Hova notices this, but doesn't see Lucas with him]
Hova: Where's Lucas?
Zoc: [feigning oblivion] Isn't he with you?
Hova: [confused] No.
Zoc: [pretending to call for him] Lucas? Lucas! Huh, that's weird. Well, he's probably off destroying some other poor, unfortunate colony. You know how they are, destroyers.
Hova: [sternly] Zoc, what did you do?
Zoc: Me?! Wh-what did I do?!
Hova: Where is he?!
Zoc: He's gone.
[Hova gasps and runs out to look for Lucas, but Zoc stops her]
Zoc: He led you into a trap, Hova.
Hova: There was no trap! He led us to food! He was trying to protect us from...
Zoc: Um, from what, Hova? What?
Hova: From something.
Zoc: [sarcastically] Oh, "something"! And I was worried it was from nothing! [angrily] He's blinded you, Hova!
Hova: [angrily] No, you are the one who's blind!
[Kreela and Fugax are seen to be awkwardly watching the confrontation]
Hova: You are so consumed by your hatred for the humans, that you only see what you want to see!
Zoc: Oh, come on!
Hova: [calmer] Zoc, I see a young pupa, a human learning our ways, becoming part of this colony. Becoming an ant.
Zoc: Impossible.
Hova: Listen to yourself, Zoc! "A wizard knows no such word"! So, what are you now?! [on the verge of tears] Certainly not the ant I love.
[She begins to walks away from Zoc]
Zoc: Hova, I did it for you. For the colony.
Hova: You did it for yourself.
[She leaves]
Zoc: Hova, I... [hesitates not knowing to say]
Fugax: [standing up] He won't make it through the night alone.
Kreela: [sounding concerned] Fugax, your leg's broken.
Fugax: Yeah, well, I still got five good ones. Very good ones!
[He leaves as well]
Kreela: [as she's walking out] You know, I think he really was trying to protect us from something. See you, Zoc.
[She also leaves. Spindle goes to join the group, but not before giving his master a disappointed look. Zoc looks down to the floor, ashamed and alone]
Steve: Hey, Pukas, where have you been? We've been looking for you. I think someone's overdue for a dogpile.
Nicky: Yeah, dogpile! He said "Dogpile".
Steve: Stop saying everything I say, got it?!?!
Nicky: Stop saying everything you say. Got it.
Steve: [furiously grabs Nicky] That's it! How about I dogpile you?!
Lucas Nickle: Hey! How about you leave him alone? What the cracks are wrong with you?
Steve: What? How about you make me? Oh, that's right, you can't. Because I'm big and you're small.
Lucas Nickle: Yeah, I'm small. We're all small. But together, we're big.
Steve: You think these stupid losers are going to team up against me? I can do anything I want to them, and there's nothing they can do about it. And the same goes for you, Pukas. DOGPILE!! [the kids still stand firm] I said DOGPILE!

Nicky: You heard the man. Football Boy: Dogpile. Steve: [screams] No! Don't hurt me! Mommy! [kids laughing] Football Boy Hey you guys want to come over and play.

[last lines]
[Zoc adds jellybeans falling to the ground making the ants overjoyed.]
Fugax: Sweet rocks!
[the ants start cheering as they eat the jellybeans]
