Julia Roberts: Hova

The Ant Bully

Hova

Hova: [entering Lucas' house] Do all of your guests pass under this door?
Lucas Nickle: Well, actually, you guys are the first friends I've had over.
Hova: We are the first ones? Kreela! We're the first ones to pass under the door!
Kreela: Great...
Fugax: And to think, all of this is made from your own POOP!
[sniffs]
Fugax: Nice...

Zoc: [glares at crystal in hand] Kraznoks! You... rock. Curse upon your children.
Hova: Hmm. I don't think rocks have children.
Zoc: [throws crystal to the ground] 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 changing color.
[grabs two more rocks]
Zoc: I call upon the elements: Wind, rain, et cetera. Transform my potion and clacktiel.
[beats the crystals together. Nothing happens. He gets frustrated]
Zoc: Clackteil, clackteil...
[beats the crystals violently together]

Zoc: But - But who will teach him our ways?
Hova: I will.
Zoc: Hova?
Queen Ant: It is done. Let us continue our work.
Lucas Nickle: That's it? How long am I gonna be like this? I want to go home! Wait! It's inhuman!
Head of Council: Yes. It is.

Hova: Where's Lucas?
Zoc: Isn't he with you?
Hova: No.
Zoc: Lucas? Lucas? Huh. That's weird. Well, he's probably off destroying some other poor, unfortunate colony. You know how they are. Destroyers.
Hova: Zoc, what have you done?
Zoc: Me? What did I do?
Hova: Where is he?
Zoc: He's gone.
[Hova worried about Lucas was about to rush out]
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: From what? What, Hova?
Hova: From something.
Zoc: Oh, something!
[laughs]
Zoc: And I was worried it was from nothing. He's blinded you, Hova.
Hova: No, you are the one who's blind. You are so consumed by your hatred for the humans, you see only what you want to see
Zoc: Oh, come on.
Hova: 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? Certainly not the ant I love.
[walks away]
Zoc: Hova! I did it for you, for the colony.
Hova: You did it for yourself.
Zoc: Hova, I...

Lucas Nickle: [as Lucas and the ants fly around the house with rose petals] This is Hawaii. We went there last summer. It's got volcanoes and hula dancers and Don Ho and surfboards. And I caught a fish. And these are the pyramids. And these are the pyramids. Well, not the real pyramids. The real ones are lots bigger. Mommo says aliens built them. She's my grandma.
[they fly over to the next fan towards the family picture]
Hova: Oh, are these your nest mates?
Lucas Nickle: Yeah, that's my family.
Hova: Ooh. Which one's the queen?
Lucas Nickle: My sister thinks she is.
[sighs]
Hova: What's wrong?
Lucas Nickle: Nothing, it's just, well... I should have told my mom goodbye. That's all. I can be a real jerk sometimes.
[he cries]
Hova: Lucas, your face is leaking.
Lucas Nickle: Leaking? Oh, no, it's okay.
Hova: Is that what humans do when they're sad? They leak from the face? When ants are sad, we do this:
[shows sad face with big eyes]
