It is estimated

that there are some 10 quintillion insects alive at any one time.

But forget about them. This is about me - Lloyd!

I'm a fly.

What's that? Oh, nothing much.

Just my huge glittering award.

Oh, you've won an award? No, I've won three.

They're for helping flies who have flown into the window.

It was a lavish ceremony. My aunties were very proud.

Wow, look at all Berry's gigantic awards, Lloyd!

Yeah, they're hard to miss

but life isn't all about winning awards.

You're right, it's also about

saving those less fortunate than ourselves.

Right, Lloyd? Erm, I suppose.

So, how many insects have you saved recently?

Hm. Plenty, lots. Really?

Er, of course, I'm actually on my way to save someone right now

and you're distracting me. So, gotta go, bye, Berry. Bye.

Who are you saving, Lloyd? Do you need help?

I'm not saving anyone.

I was just sick of hearing Berry talk about his...

Sweet and juicy raisin.

Raisin? I must have missed that part of the conversation.

Oh.

A raisin. Oh, looks tasty.

How do you think it got in there?

Er, who cares, but I'm going to get it out.

We could ask Berry,

he's good at rescuing things from windows.

What? No.

Can you imagine how embarrassing that'll be, for the raisin obviously.

Aha!

Be careful, Lloyd, windows are notoriously tricky.

If we don't approach a situation with due caution

we might find it... I'm in, no trouble at all.

You worry too much, Abacus.

What a beauty!

Huh?

Are you OK?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, all... all fine, all good just got to, er...

Yeah, it's just a matter of, uh...

Don't panic, Lloyd, stay calm. I'm coming.

Oh, let me squeeze through the dangerous hole.

PB, no, you're as wide as my head in all directions.

What, this? It's just another of my many awards.

What's going on? He's not stuck, is he?

Stuck? Of course I'm not stuck. Ha!

Well, you look stuck, what with your silly, big head.

Ha! Well, could someone stuck do this?

Yes, they do exactly that.

I suppose some award-winningly brave

and slender hero will just have to rescue you.

Someone like me!

Maybe if I grease your massive head up

I can slide you out.

I'll go get some butter. No! No, no-one is buttering me up.

I don't need rescuing, I'm not stuck.

I'm... I'm doing my head-strengthening exercises.

Head-strengthening exercises?

Yeah, this is the perfect place to work out.

Good work, Lloyd.

Your head is looking stronger already.

Exactly. It's not big, it's toned.

Come on, Berry, I bet I can do more head-ups than you.

One, uh. Two, uh.

Wow, how many head-ups do you think you can do, Berry?

Well, I could do more

but I've got several more awards to polish so I'll just, er...

Bye.

That was a close call. Now, find a way to get me out of here.

You should exercise longer than that to make a difference, Lloyd.

I'm not doing head exercises, Abacus,

I just can't give Berry the satisfaction of rescuing me.

Now, quick do something

before he comes back and selfishly saves me.

Hm.

Huh. Hm.

If only my head wasn't so magnificently large.

Not just your head, your bum's ginormous too,

and you've got four stinky armpits and poopy breath.

PB, why are you being mean?

He's stuck because he's got such a big head, right?

So if we insult him and we undermine his confidence

we can shrink it.

I'm not sure that's how it works, PB.

Oi, oi, what are you saying? Hello?

Abacus, do you care about Lloyd or not?

Because if you do

you should make him feel terrible about himself.

Oh, you're right, we must try everything we can.

You have lines on your thorax

and a single pair of membranous wings.

Don't describe him, insult him. Deflate that ego.

OK, OK, hang on.

Your buzzing is like music

and your friendship is the well spring of all my joy.

I can't do it. I can't think of a single bad thing about him.

He's gonna be stuck in there forever and it's my fault.

Abacus, please, don't cry. You see, what a good friend he is.

He doesn't even want me to be sad.

It's not that, your blubbing is attracting attention.

PB, get rid of her. On it.

Don't worry, Lloyd, if you remain trapped in there forever,

I'll stay with you.

We can play word games. What sort of word games?

Well, I think of some words and say them to you,

then you think of some other words and say them back to me.

What you're describing there is a conversation, Abacus.

Oh, yes.

But I'm not gonna be trapped in here forever because look, a thread.

See, I'll just pull myself out if I can...

Yes, ha! Huh, it's sticky. Uh.

That was easy. Thank you. Yum, yum!

Nothing to see here, absolutely nothing to see at all.

Get away! You're not gonna eat me!

Abacus, help! Do something! Hm.

It will be easier to slide him out with some grease.

Abacus. Some soap will do the trick.

Try the bathtub.

Oh, good idea, I'll go check the bathtub.

Oh, thank you, Abacus. You're welcome.

Are you stuck? Sorry, she really likes to gawp.

I was once in a similar situation on account of my big bee bum.

What you need is someone with a smaller bum,

or smaller head, in your case, who can come in and get you out.

Yes, someone like...

No, not Berry.

I do not need rescuing, least of all by him.

I'm perfectly happy here. In fact, I came here for the peace.

Yeah, it's the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle

and find some inner calm.

Yes, I love the tranquillity in here.

I'm so... ..calm!

Has it gone? Yeah.

I wore it down by continuing to exist.

Victory is mine, though this sense of victory feels uncomfortably warm,

very, very warm.

Lloyd, you're starting to bake.

Right, I'm getting Berry. No, there's barely a sizzle.

Scalding sunlight is good for my complexion.

Scalding? We really should get Berry.

I see, you're a big Berry fan now too, are you, Abacus?

He's the only one small enough to get in through the...

Yes, yes, he's amazing.

Why don't you go and be his best friend

if you like his award-winningly small head so much?

Lloyd, we're just saying... Go on, leave me alone.

Go and find some other hot, wedged fly to rescue, I don't need you.

I can't believe even Abacus has left me,

just because I told him too.

So hot.

So hungry.

Maybe I've been a little hasty.

Help.

You OK, Lloyd?

Abacus, I thought you'd gone.

No, I was just sitting down there in case you needed anything.

I'm sorry for thinking you might need rescuing.

Abacus? Yes, Lloyd?

Get Berry and tell him to bring butter.

Poor Lloyd, I hope he doesn't feel embarrassed.

Hold still, Lloyd, while I get you good and buttery.

There.

I can't imagine why he'd feel embarrassed!

Well, the audience Berry insisted on gathering doesn't help.

It's OK, nearly there.

Well done, Berry.

I don't know how he got into that mess

but thank you for helping him, Berry.

All in a day's work, Mrs Fly.

Yeah, well, I'm fine now so you can all get back to your business.

Ahem. Lloyd, aren't you going to thank Berry?

Right, yes. Thanks for rescuing me, Berry.

I suppose you'll get another award now.

No, need to mention awards.

What's this about awards, Berry? Oh, nothing.

They're not nothing, they're huge and shiny.

There was a big ceremony, you were both very proud.

Berry, have you been giving yourself awards again?

What? No, of course not.

They're mine, I deserve them. I rescued Lloyd.

No-one appreciates my award-worthiness.

Speaking of someone who knows what he's talking about, what a big head!

I've found some soap.

There goes another meal.
