I've got to believe there's someplace better for me. Otherwise I'll just curl up into a larval position and weep.

I think everything must go back to the fact that I had a very anxious childhood. You know, my - my mother never had time for me. You know, when you're - when you're the middle child in a family of five million, you don't get any attention.

Will you calm down? You're not going to let a little near-death experience ruin your mood, are you?
----
Let's be real about this. Bala and I... Bala is a princess, and I'm a soil relocation engineer.

There you have it: your average boy-meets-girl, boy-likes-girl, boy-changes-the-underlying-social-order story.

Handling dirt is not my idea of a rewarding career.

Okay, I've gotta give myself a positive attitude. A good attitude even though I'm utterly insignificant. I'm, I'm insignificant... but with attitude.

[mocking the scout] Nothing like a little post-traumatic stress disorder to make your day complete.
----
And, y'know, I finally feel like I've found my place. And you know what? It's right back where I started. But the difference is, this time I chose it.

We rebuilt the colony; better than before, because now we have a very large indoor swimming pool.
----
Think about it, Bala. Do you really want to be Mrs. Raving Lunatic?

----
- Mosquito: What if, like, we're just these tiny things... and we're just, like, part of this whole other huge universe...that's, like, so big we don't even know it exists?
- Ladybug: Man, that is so deep.
----

- Z: Well, maybe, then again, maybe not, and then again... yowch.
- Bala : That's it. You're the guy from the bar.
- Z: Shhh.
- Queen: Bar? What bar?
- Bala : I... danced with this guy at the bar the other night. He was just a worker, then.
- Queen: What were you doing at a bar?
- General Mandible: Precisely what I want to know.
- Bala : No. This isn't about me. I mean, Look at this worker. Look what he's done.
- Z: I think - I think you're thinking of someone else. After all, I am a soldier.
- Bala : Exactly. You WERE a worker, but now you're a war hero.
- Queen: He's a worker?
- General Mandible: A worker danced with my fiance?
- Z: F-fiance? Hey, w-wait a minute. Th-this is not how it looks. I-I can explain this... hey, SHE was the one making all the moves.
----
- Bala : Don't you get it? I chose you because you were the most pathetic bug in the joint.

----
- Bala : I've been kidnapped by the village idiot.
- Z: Who's the bigger idiot? The idiot, or the idiot who gets kidnapped by the idiot?
----
- Z: Let me ask you something - what made you come to the bar that night?
- Bala : I guess I was looking for a little trouble.
- Z: Well, trouble's my middle name. Actually, my middle name is Marion, but I don't want you spreading that around.
----
- Weaver: Z, I've known you for a long time, right?
- Z: Definitely; you were born two seconds after me.
- Weaver: And ever since I've known you, all you do is complain; what are you bitching about? If you haven't noticed, us ants are runnin' the show. We're the lords of the Earth!
- Z: Hey. Don't talk to me about "Earth", 'cause I just spent my day hauling it around.
Other
- Colonel Cutter: Time stands still for no ant.
- General Mandible: Sacrifice. To some, it is just a word. To others it is a code. What matters is the colony...He's willing to live for the colony...to fight for the colony... to die for the colony.
