All my life, I've lived
and worked in the big city,
which, now that I think of it,
is kind of a problem,
since I always feel
uncomfortable around crowds.
I mean it. I have this fear
of enclosed spaces.
Everything makes me
feel trapped all the time.
You know,
I always tell myself...
there's gotta be something
better out there.
But maybe I...
Maybe I think too much.
I think everything must
go back to the fact...
...that I had a very
anxious childhood.
You know, my mother
never had time for me.
When you're
the middle child...
in a family of five million,
you don't get any attention.
I mean, how is it possible?
And I've always had these...
these abandonment issues
which plague me.
My father was basically a drone,
like I've said.
You know, the guy flew away
when I was just a larva.
My job...
don't get me started on,
because it really annoys me.
I-I was not cut out
to be a worker,
I'll tell you right now.
I-I-I feel physically
inadequate.
My whole life,
I've never been able to lift
more than 10 times
my own body weight.
When you get down to it,
handling dirt is, you know...
is not my idea of
a rewarding career.
It's this whole gung-ho,
superorganism thing
that... that, you know,
I can't get.
I try, but I don't get it.
I mean, you know, I'm...
What is it?
I'm supposed to do everything
for the colony.
And-And what about my needs?
What about me?
I've gotta believe there's
someplace out there
...that's better than this.
Otherwise,
I would just curl up in a
larval position and weep.
The whole system makes me feel...
insignificant.
Excellent.
- You've made a real breakthrough.
- I have?
Yes, Z.
You are insignificant.
I am?
Ground floor!
Uh, worker.
Soldier.
- Uh-oh.
- Worker.
