She could argue that the bees aren't evil- they're a disaster, like famine, or a fire. But obviously he doesn't care about the film; he's trying to come to some kind of answer, or conclusion, about himself, and she's aware with a sick, sinking feeling that there's no real chance that he'll reach one she can tolerate.

"We're both dead," she mutters, sullen and frustrated with the whole stupid situation, and habitually using that to hide the fear. "None of it even matters. Why can't you just watch the stupid movie? Why wouldn't anyone want to save the bees? There's probably gonna be some bleeding-heart guy who gets himself killed trying to do it, and they won't even know it, because they're bugs."

If he's gonna snap, she wants to at least discharge the impulse she had before he does. "Ugh. I was gonna leave this for you, but they wouldn't let me in. So you might as well have it now."
