對白
Ulysses Ulee Jackson:The bees and I have an understanding. I take care of them, and they take care of me.
Ulee Jackson:You'll pay for the rest of your life for being a jackass.
Casey Jackson:Yeah, well, it's better than dying of boredom.
Connie Hope:Me, I'm divorced twice. No kids, fortunately. I guess, fortunately.
Ulysses Ulee Jackson:We don't ask outsiders for help.
Penny Jackson:See, sometimes the bees get confused, and run away -- that's them there on the tree. But they don't really want to be gone, and they're happy when someone holds them back into they're home. But you got to keep calm and don't panic when they sting, 'cause they don't mean nothing by it.
Connie Hope:You are almost a good man, Ulee Jackson, but you try too hard.
Ulysses Ulee Jackson:There's all kinds of weakness in the world, not all of it is evil. I forget that from time to time.
