[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.

[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.
