Quotes 

  • Ronnie : Don't you get it? I'm finally onto something that's big. Huge.

    Stathis Borans : Yeah? What? His cock?

    Ronnie : Crude, Stathis. Very crude.

  • Veronica Quaife : I'm pregnant.

    Stathis Borans : [dismissive]  Oh, no.

    [reality kicking in] 

    Stathis Borans : Oh, no.

    Veronica Quaife : I'm pregnant with Seth's baby.

  • Ronnie : If you *SAW* him, Stathis, if you saw how scared and angry and desperate he is...

    Stathis Borans : I'm sure Typhoid Mary was a very nice person too when you saw her socially.

  • Stathis Borans : If you plan to make anything disappear, please let me know - I've got an assistant editor who has outlived his usefulness.

  • [Brundle sits at a table full of junk food, and explains his altered digestive system to Veronica and her videocamera] 

    Seth Brundle : How does Brundlefly eat? Well, he found out the hard and painful way that he eats very much the way a fly eats. His teeth are now useless, because although he can chew up solid food, he can't digest them. Solid food hurts. So like a fly, Brundlefly breaks down solids with a corrosive enzyme, playfully called "vomit drop". He regurgitates on his food, it liquifies, and then he sucks it back up. Ready for a demonstration, kids? Here goes...

    [cut to Stathis, who is watching the videotape. The sound of Seth "vomiting" is heard] 

    Stathis Borans : Oh my God.

    [Sound of Seth sucking back up the vomit] 

    Stathis Borans : [shocked and disgusted]  My God!

  • Dr. Cheevers : OK, what's the story?

    Stathis Borans : She's pregnant and she wants an abortion.

    Dr. Cheevers : In the middle of the night?

    Stathis Borans : We have good reason to think that... this... child will be deformed.

    Dr. Cheevers : Yeah, but in the middle of the night...

    Stathis Borans : Look, Brent, please.

    Dr. Cheevers : Is it your child?

    Stathis Borans : No. It's the... child of a man who is deformed.

    Dr. Cheevers : Look, I don't mean to interfere, but I detect a certain uncertainty here. You know, there are tests we can do that can determine whether or not...

    Veronica Quaife : I don't want tests. Tests can't guarantee anything. The baby could start off normal and then become...

    Veronica Quaife : [determinedly]  I want an abortion. I'll do it myself if I have to.

  • Stathis Borans : [to Veronica]  It could be contagious. It could turn into an epidemic.

  • Stathis Borans : [to Veronica]  Don't go back to it.
