What happened to the busy bee?


Has this mystery ever been solved? The bee was in the hotel. Where did it disappear to?

reply

LOL! I know ... the bee just vanished into thin air.



"FRA-GEE-LAY. That must be Italian!"
"I think that says 'fragile', honey."

reply

If you remember when that couple boarded the plane they were already arguing and completely unorganized, had lost the tickets, etc. I like to think that they never had the busy bee with them in the first place. It would be so like that uptight yet hilarious couple. They made the show if you ask me.

reply

They had the bee at one point in the hotel room. They were comforting Beatrice before leaving for the preshow cocktail party.

PERHAPS YOU SHOULD GO FIND BUSY BEE! GO FIND BUSY BEE!

The oil rig cocktail waitress, Christy Cummings, stole that bee. That bitch! She was out to sabatoge everyone out there.

I don't know what her purpose was talking to Harlan Pepper backstage, but whatever.

I loved her line to the rich heiress about the makeup saying, "It's over, let it go." something like that. She definitely wore the pants in that relationship.

If there's an empty space, just fill it with a line. . even if it's from another show.

i too think they left it at home and when they return home, they're going to find it in the house.

Nope, they had Busy Bee at the airport. So it was lost somewhere between there and the dog show.

I'm almost positive they were playing with it on the bed in the hotel room too, but I'm 100% positive they had it at the airport. It can be seen directly after the man tries to pet her and she tries to bite him. After the owners melt down and start yelling at the man, they start trying to console the dog with Busy Bee.

I love her distress at the airport when she tries to give Busy Bee to the dog.

"Oh *NO*!! She's not even responding to the *toy*!"

reply

Yep, just watched part of the hotel scene, and Busy Bee is on the bed right before Meg & Hamilton Swan leave for the pre-show reception.

So....the plot thickens....WHAT HAPPENED TO BUSY BEE?????

lol

reply

Christie Cummings took it. She also tripped Cookie Fleck.

reply

They have it at the airport, and in the hotel room while they are deciding what to wear to the pre-dog show party. Yhat's the last time we see it. Maybe someone bribed a maid to go in the room and steal it. Lol.

reply

Maybe the gift shop owner stole it to drum up business. Maybe it's a conspiracy!!!

If you've ever seen Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris," you know that the yuppie girlfriend and her mother immediately blame the maid for the supposedly missing earrings (that really were not missing at all.) So if you are a yuppie, you have to blame the maid. In movies, it's part of the lifestyle!

reply

Yep, even in Seinfeld. It was "Lupe," the maid, who took Jerry's perfectly written joke he had written on a napkin and wanted to use on the "Tonight Show," and threw it away. IMO, it is kind of a newer version of "The Butler Did It!" (Just rewatched this film again last night--still so funny after all these years.)

I think the hotel manager was right...it was under the bed.

The unmedicated life is not worth living.

reply

My question is what happened to their dog. At the end they said it was too negative and they'd gotten a new dog, but what happened to the old one? Given away? Put down? The latter would have been a decent black humor gag, putting down a dog for not winning a dog show...

A heart is the only thing of value. If you have one, get rid of it.

It was under the bed. Meg was just too proud to admit she hadn't looked under the bed.

reply

The "busy bee" must be found!
