The Thorax: Speaks for the Bees

Frank the Exterminator: Thanks for being in my commercial, fellas. You guys look fantastic.

 

Roy: We look ridiculous. I mean, I get you’re an exterminator and all. But why are we in bug costumes?

 

Vince: Holy balls Roy. For the fuzillionth time, it’s for Frank’s No Bugs Left Behind promotion. Get on board already.

 

Roy: It just seems like we should be playing the heros, not the pests.

 

Stew: Frank is the hero. He’s going to fake spray us, and then we fake die. Didn’t you read the script?

 

Gil: Where does this stinger thing go? I can’t see where it attaches.

 

Vince: Stick it to your abdomen, Gil. Geez. It’s like you’ve never seen a bee before?

 

Roy: Why are we killing bees?

 

Frank: Sorry. There’s only so many bug costumes down at the Costume Castle.

 

Stew: I think you mean the thorax, Vince.

 

Vince: What?

 

Stew: You told Gil to stick it to the abdomen. I think you meant the thorax.

 

Vince: Uh. No. The thorax is a kid book.

 

Stew: That’s “The Lorax.”

 

Vince: So, now you’re the expert on kid books, too?

 

Frank: Fellas, please. Let’s just finish this commercial…

 

Gil: Lorax is the book. Just looked it up on my phone.

 

Vince: Whatever.

 

Frank: Alright! Can we finally do this?

 

Stew: We look ridiculous.

 

Gil: So, where does the stinger go?
