- Hoppity: I told you we belong here in the garden. The lady human said so. You heard her.
- Mr. Bumble: Gosh! And she knew my name.
- Mr. Bumble: It's my daughter's right to listen to what her little heart says, and it just don't seem to say "Beetle".
- Boy bug on skyscraper rooftop: Look at the Human Ones down there! They look just like a lot of little bugs!
- Mrs. Ladybug: Those Human Ones! Why, the way they're taking to tramping through the lowlands, it's getting so your life ain't worth a sunflower seed anymore. One never know who's gonna get it next.
- [Swat and Smack are knocking on the door]
- C. Bagley Beetle: Yes? Who is it?
- Swat, Smack: It's us, boss!
- Swat: Swat the fly.
- Smack: And Smack the mosquito.
- C. Bagley Beetle: [opens the door and shushes] Nitwits, imbeciles! What if somebody should see you here? Now, begone before I bash your bonehead skulls!
- [slams the door]
- [C. Bagley Beetle sees the reflection of Hoppity on top of his hat, reacts and looks at Hoppity. He was mad and heard that]
- C. Bagley Beetle: Well, if it isn't my old friend Hoppity.
- [He was about to shake his hand, Hoppity refuses]
- C. Bagley Beetle: Uh, how long you've been listening-- I mean standing there?
- Hoppity: Just long enough, Mr. Beetle, to overhear your whole cowardly scheme! But, you're not gonna get away with it, because I'm going down and tell the lowlanders just what kind of an insect you are!
