Quotes from Flik

Flik: Here, pretend this is a seed.
Dot: But it's a rock.
Flik: I know, I know, but let's for a minute pretend it's a seed, lets use our imaginations. You see our tree? Everything that is in that giant tree is contained inside this tiny seed. All it needs is some time, a little sunshine and rain, and voilá!
Dot: This rock will be a tree?
Flik: Seed to tree, you have to stay with me. Now, it may seem that you can't do anything, but that's just because you're not a tree yet. You just have to give yourself more time. You're still a seed.
Dot: But it's a rock.
Flik: I know it's a rock! Don't you think I'd know what a rock looks like? I've spent a lot of time around rocks!
Dot: You're weird, but I like you.

Flik: Oh, great ones! I have been scouting for bugs of your exact talents!
Rosie: A talent scout!
Flik: Our colony is in trouble. Grasshoppers are coming. We've been forced to prepare all this food.
Manny: Dinner theater!
Heimlich: Food?
Flik: Please, will you help us?
Fly: Where are they?
Slim: We'll take the job.

Flik: Try not to look like a country bug. Blend. Blend in.

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 - *circumventing* the oncoming horde, so we can trapeze - *trap them* with ease!
Princess Atta: Shouldn't I go too?
Flik: No! Ha ha ha ha! They're keeping it on the DMZ, got to go ASAP, strictly BYOB. Bye!

Flik: They can't know the truth! The truth, you see, is bad! I will be branded with this mistake for the rest of my life! My children's children will walk down the street and people will point and say, "Look, there go the spawn of Flik the Loser"!

Rosie: Okay, everyone. Break a leg.
Flik: Wow! You guys are vicious!

Boy Ant #1: My dad says he gives you an hour before you come back crying.
Flik: Oh, does he now?
Boy Ant #2: My dad doesn't think that.
Flik: Really?
Boy Ant #2: No, he's betting you're going to die.

Flik: I just wanted to help.
Mr. Soil: Then help us; DON'T help us.

(Dot gets a rock)
Dot: Pretend it's a seed, okay?
Flik: Thanks, Dot.
Francis: What's with the rock?
Slim: Must be an ant thing.

Hopper: Where do you get the gall to do this to me?
Flik: You... you were going to squish the queen. (all the ants gasp)
Dot: It's true.
Hopper: I hate it when someone gives away the ending.

Hopper: Let that be a lesson to all you ants! Ideas are very dangerous things! You are mindless, soil-shoving losers, put on this Earth to serve us!
Flik: You're wrong, Hopper. Ants are not meant to serve grasshoppers. I've seen these ants do great things, and year after year they somehow manage to pick enough food for themselves and you. So who is the weaker species? Ants don't serve grasshoppers! It's you who need us! We are a lot stronger than you say we are... And you know it, don't you?

Flik: For the colony, and for oppressed ants everywhere!
