1. What am I working on?Copy !req
2. Uh, I'm working on something
that'll change the world...Copy !req
3. and human life as we know it.Copy !req
4. Change it a lot or just a bit?
You'll have to be more specific.Copy !req
5. What, do you want me to be
specific here, in this room...Copy !req
6. with, uh, half the scientific community
of North America eavesdropping?Copy !req
7. Is there another way?Copy !req
8. Uh, y-you could
come back to my lab.Copy !req
9. Listen, I'll make you
cappuccino.Copy !req
10. I have a Faema of my very own.
You know what that is?Copy !req
11. It's not the dilettante's
plastic kitchen model.Copy !req
12. It's one of those, uh,
real restaurant espresso machines...Copy !req
13. with the eagle on top and—Copy !req
14. Somehow I get the feeling
you don't get out much.Copy !req
15. You can tell that?Copy !req
16. Yeah.Copy !req
17. I think you're
making a mistake.Copy !req
18. I think you really
want to talk to me.Copy !req
19. Sorry. I have three other interviews to do
before this party's over.Copy !req
20. Yeah, but they're not working on something
that'll change the world as we know it.Copy !req
21. They say they are.Copy !req
22. Yeah, but they're lying.
I'm not.Copy !req
23. - Are you sick?
- Oh—Copy !req
24. Sure.Copy !req
25. You're not a very
accomplished drunk.Copy !req
26. No, no. I'm always like this.
It's, uh, motion sickness.Copy !req
27. When I was a kid, I, uh...Copy !req
28. puked on my tricycle.Copy !req
29. - I hate vehicles.
- Should I drive more slowly?Copy !req
30. No, no. Just turn left.
We're almost there.Copy !req
31. This is it?Copy !req
32. It's, uh, cleaner
on the inside.Copy !req
33. Please.Copy !req
34. ?Copy !req
35. Listen, uh,
maybe this is a bad idea.Copy !req
36. No. It's too late.Copy !req
37. You've already seen them.Copy !req
38. Can't let you leave here alive.Copy !req
39. - I haven't seen anything.Copy !req
40. Those.Copy !req
41. ?Copy !req
42. Designer phone booths.Copy !req
43. Very cute.Copy !req
44. Hey, I bet you have a really neat
jukebox in here too someplace.Copy !req
45. - Over there maybe?
- No.Copy !req
46. No, this is the—Copy !req
47. This is the prototype
of... those.Copy !req
48. It's the first one I had made.Copy !req
49. It, uh, works, but it's clunky.Copy !req
50. I call them telepods.Copy !req
51. They're controlled by this.Copy !req
52. Thank God for that.Copy !req
53. So what do they do,
the phone booths?Copy !req
54. Telepods.Copy !req
55. Oh.Copy !req
56. Uh, okay. I need an object. Um—Copy !req
57. Say, do you have
something on you that's...Copy !req
58. uh, personal that I could use?Copy !req
59. Something uniquely you, an item
of clothing or jewelry?Copy !req
60. What, are you kidding?Copy !req
61. No, I'm serious.Copy !req
62. Okay. Here it goes.Copy !req
63. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
64. I don't wear jewelry.Copy !req
65. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
66. It's nice.Copy !req
67. Uh, Brundle, Seth.Copy !req
68. Uh, Brundle, Seth.Copy !req
69. Uh, Brundle, Seth.Copy !req
70. Uh, Brundle, Seth.Copy !req
71. Begin teleportation sequence.Copy !req
72. Um, keep your eye
on the stocking.Copy !req
73. Well?Copy !req
74. Great.Copy !req
75. The world's largest
microwave oven.Copy !req
76. I'm glad I didn't give you my Rolex,
if I had a Rolex.Copy !req
77. No, you're missing
the point. Look.Copy !req
78. "Teleportation"?Copy !req
79. Please.Copy !req
80. Oh—Copy !req
81. Wait a minute.Copy !req
82. Is that a hologram?Copy !req
83. - Where's my stocking?
- That's it, the real one.Copy !req
84. Go ahead. Pick it up.Copy !req
85. I don't think I get it.Copy !req
86. - What happened?
- You got it, all right.Copy !req
87. You just can't handle it. Um—Copy !req
88. Your stocking
has just been teleported...Copy !req
89. from one pod to another...Copy !req
90. uh, disintegrated there
and reintegrated there.Copy !req
91. Sort of.Copy !req
92. It will change the world
as we know it, right?Copy !req
93. Oh, no—Copy !req
94. Uh, this is, uh—
This is incredible.Copy !req
95. I mean, it's not
possible, is it?Copy !req
96. How have you managed
to keep this quiet?Copy !req
97. - Please sit down.
- How could you do this alone?Copy !req
98. Well, I don't work alone. There's a lot
of stuff in there I don't even understand.Copy !req
99. I'm really, uh,
a systems management man.Copy !req
100. I farm bits and pieces out to guys who are
much more brilliant than I am.Copy !req
101. I say, "Build me a laser this.
Design me a molecular analyzer that."Copy !req
102. They do. And I just
stick them together.Copy !req
103. But none of them knows
what the project really is.Copy !req
104. So—Copy !req
105. Wow. And, uh, the money?Copy !req
106. Bartok Science Industries
financed this?Copy !req
107. Mm-hmm. But they leave me alone
'cause I'm not expensive.Copy !req
108. And they know they'll end up
owning it all, whatever it is. So—Copy !req
109. - You haven't told them?
- When I'm ready.Copy !req
110. - Oh. Wait a second.Copy !req
111. - What are you doing?
- Well, you want me to get the quotes right, don't you?Copy !req
112. Quotes? No, no.Copy !req
113. I thought this was personal.
You can't write about this.Copy !req
114. What are you talking about?
I'm a journalist.Copy !req
115. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.Copy !req
116. - You knew that.
- Uh—Copy !req
117. I'm sorry. I apologize.
I made a mistake.Copy !req
118. I shouldn't have shown you this.
I'm very, very sorry.Copy !req
119. Listen. Particle magazine
sent me to that party to get a story.Copy !req
120. - And this is the most exciting thing I've ever seen.
- No, no. Absolutely not.Copy !req
121. - I'm gonna have to ask you for that tape. Please.
- You can't do that.Copy !req
122. Don't you dare write a story. I'd never have
told any of this stuff to a journalist.Copy !req
123. - But you did tell this stuff to a journalist.
- Yeah, I suppose I did.Copy !req
124. - Sure did.
- Wait a minute. Wait a minute.Copy !req
125. Wai— Come here.
What about your stocking?Copy !req
126. Keep it for good luck.Copy !req
127. I farm bits and pieces out...Copy !req
128. to guys who are much more
brilliant than I am.Copy !req
129. I say, "Build me a laser this.
Design me a molecular analyzer that."Copy !req
130. They do. And I just
stick them together.Copy !req
131. But none of them knows what
the project really is. So—Copy !req
132. Wow. And, uh, the money?Copy !req
133. Bartok Science Industries
financed this?Copy !req
134. Mm-hmm. But they leave me alone
'cause I'm not expensive.Copy !req
135. And they know they'll end up
owning it all, whatever it is. So—Copy !req
136. Well, that's it.Copy !req
137. What do you think?Copy !req
138. It's a joke.Copy !req
139. - What?
- He's conning you.Copy !req
140. It's an old nightclub routine,
the two cabinets.Copy !req
141. - And you fell for it.Copy !req
142. - Wait a minute. That was no nightclub—
- Are we having lunch?Copy !req
143. Listen, that was no nightclub routine.
I was there. I saw it.Copy !req
144. Yep.Copy !req
145. Sure. Send him in.Copy !req
146. - You must have made an impression.
- What do you mean?Copy !req
147. Your magician
has followed you here.Copy !req
148. I'm Stathis Borans.
I'm the editor of Particle magazine.Copy !req
149. - Uh, Seth Brundle—
- I know who you are.Copy !req
150. Listen, uh, why don't
you two use my office?Copy !req
151. I've gotta run.Copy !req
152. If you plan to make
anything disappear...Copy !req
153. please let me know.Copy !req
154. I've got an assistant editor
who's outlived his usefulness.Copy !req
155. You didn't waste any time.Copy !req
156. I'm not getting any younger.Copy !req
157. He didn't seem—
He wasn't impressed by your tape?Copy !req
158. He thinks you're a con man.Copy !req
159. Excellent.Copy !req
160. Yeah? Well, let's see what the people
at Omni think about it.Copy !req
161. No, no, listen, Veronica.Copy !req
162. I've come here to say
one magic word to you.Copy !req
163. Yeah?Copy !req
164. Cheeseburger.Copy !req
165. I've been working alone
too long.Copy !req
166. I have a strong urge, uh,
to talk about what I'm doing.Copy !req
167. But, um, if this gets out now—Copy !req
168. Veronica, it'll kill me.Copy !req
169. The Bartok people will kill me.
My colleagues will kill me.Copy !req
170. See, it's not ready yet.Copy !req
171. - Seems to work okay.
- No. Something important's missing.Copy !req
172. Yeah?Copy !req
173. Yeah.Copy !req
174. Which is?Copy !req
175. I can only teleport
inanimate objects.Copy !req
176. Well, what happens when you
try to teleport living things?Copy !req
177. Not while we're eating.Copy !req
178. It can't be worse than this.Copy !req
179. Listen, you're not doing
a very good job of convincing me.Copy !req
180. I think the world should
know about it now...Copy !req
181. and I think I should be
the one to tell it.Copy !req
182. You should tell it...Copy !req
183. but, uh, not yet.Copy !req
184. Look, what do you got so far?Copy !req
185. Enough to make you nervous.Copy !req
186. Why not get more?
Let me become your major project.Copy !req
187. I'm talking about a book,
not a magazine article.Copy !req
188. Follow me and my work
day by day...Copy !req
189. in as much detail
as you can stand.Copy !req
190. I don't have a life so there's
nothing for you to interfere with.Copy !req
191. Research the background.
Cover the process.Copy !req
192. "The complete record of the most
earth-shattering invention ever...Copy !req
193. "the one that ended
all concepts of transport...Copy !req
194. of borders and frontiers,
of time and space."Copy !req
195. Your book will end with me
transporting myself...Copy !req
196. 15 feet through space
from one telepod to another.Copy !req
197. That's what's really missing.Copy !req
198. Wait for me that long?Copy !req
199. What are you doing
in my apartment?Copy !req
200. Just happened to be
in the neighborhood.Copy !req
201. Felt a bit scummy. Rough day.Copy !req
202. Aaah! Aaah! Oh!Copy !req
203. How did you get in?Copy !req
204. Have a key, remember?Copy !req
205. You gave it to me.Copy !req
206. I knew I should have
changed the lock.Copy !req
207. - I knew you wouldn't.
- Yeah?Copy !req
208. Yeah.Copy !req
209. That's because,
unconsciously...Copy !req
210. you still want me
to come back...Copy !req
211. move in again.Copy !req
212. No. That's because,
very consciously...Copy !req
213. I'm lazy and disorganized.Copy !req
214. Your new playmate's
an interesting guy.Copy !req
215. - What playmate?
- The nightclub act.Copy !req
216. Brundle.Copy !req
217. - Yeah?
- Yeah.Copy !req
218. Yeah, I was wrong.
He's really quite brilliant.Copy !req
219. He was the leader
of the F-3-2 team.Copy !req
220. Remember that?Copy !req
221. An inch away from
the Nobel Prize for physics.Copy !req
222. He was only 20 at the time.Copy !req
223. I don't even think
I'm going to do Brundle.Copy !req
224. I'm still considering
the Psychology Today gig.Copy !req
225. That's not like you.Copy !req
226. Are you getting out or am I?Copy !req
227. I'll go.Copy !req
228. I have to put this issue to bed. Want me
to come back later and tuck you in?Copy !req
229. No. Key.Copy !req
230. I'll keep it...Copy !req
231. for old time's sake.Copy !req
232. You're a petty schmuck.Copy !req
233. Initiate in five seconds.Copy !req
234. I've got to do this, Seth.Copy !req
235. Talk to the tape.
Get in the habit.Copy !req
236. The world will want to know
what you're thinking.Copy !req
237. "Fuck" is what I'm thinking.Copy !req
238. Good. The world
will want to know that.Copy !req
239. What else? Why didn't it work?Copy !req
240. I think it, uh, turned
the baboon inside out.Copy !req
241. Why?Copy !req
242. Can't deal with the flesh. It only seems
to work with inanimate objects...Copy !req
243. nothing that's living.Copy !req
244. Must be my fault.Copy !req
245. Why?Copy !req
246. Computers are dumb.
They only know what you tell them.Copy !req
247. I must not know enough about the flesh myself.
I'm going to have to learn.Copy !req
248. I don't want to talk now.Copy !req
249. Do you ever
change your clothes?Copy !req
250. What?Copy !req
251. Your clothes.
You're always wearing the same clothes.Copy !req
252. No. These are clean.Copy !req
253. I change my clothes every day.Copy !req
254. Five sets
of exactly the same clothes?Copy !req
255. Learned it from Einstein.Copy !req
256. This way I don't have to, um...Copy !req
257. expend any thought
on what I'm going to wear.Copy !req
258. I just grab the next
set on the rack.Copy !req
259. I bought some steaks.Copy !req
260. Could I make you one?Copy !req
261. We could go out.Copy !req
262. Cheeseburger?Copy !req
263. No, I— I— I—Copy !req
264. We don't have to go there.Copy !req
265. You're very cute.
You know that?Copy !req
266. Am I?Copy !req
267. - Oh! Ow! Ow!
- What happened?Copy !req
268. My back. Ow.Copy !req
269. Oh! Oh, God.
Something's stuck to your back.Copy !req
270. Well, pull it off.Copy !req
271. Oh! Ooh!Copy !req
272. Ow.Copy !req
273. - Sorry.
- Oh!Copy !req
274. Huh. I wondered
what happened to this.Copy !req
275. Do you have any disinfectant?Copy !req
276. - No, it's okay.
- Well, let me kiss it for you.Copy !req
277. - Oh.
- Babe, thank you.Copy !req
278. - Ow, ow, ow, ow!Copy !req
279. Sorry.
I just want to eat you up.Copy !req
280. You know, that's why
old ladies pinch babies' cheeks.Copy !req
281. It's the flesh.
It just makes you crazy.Copy !req
282. - Ronnie, Ronnie?
- Hmm?Copy !req
283. Want to try an experiment?Copy !req
284. Sure.Copy !req
285. Okay.Copy !req
286. Eat this. I need
an objective opinion.Copy !req
287. - Yes?
- Well, it could use some finesse...Copy !req
288. but, um, it tastes
like a steak.Copy !req
289. Oh.Copy !req
290. Okay—Copy !req
291. Now try this teleported half.Copy !req
292. Are you serious? A monkey
just came apart in there.Copy !req
293. Baboon. Eat.Copy !req
294. Ooh. Mm— That tastes funny.Copy !req
295. - Funny how?
- It tastes, um...Copy !req
296. synthetic.Copy !req
297. - Mm-hmm.
- So what have we proved?Copy !req
298. The computer is...Copy !req
299. giving us its interpretation of a steak.Copy !req
300. It's, uh,
translating it for us.Copy !req
301. It's rethinking it
rather than reproducing it...Copy !req
302. and something is getting lost
in the translation.Copy !req
303. Me. I'm lost.Copy !req
304. The flesh. It should make
the computer, uh, crazy...Copy !req
305. like those old ladies
pinching babies.Copy !req
306. But it doesn't. Not yet.
I haven't taught the computer...Copy !req
307. to be made crazy
by the, uh, flesh—Copy !req
308. the poetry of the steak.Copy !req
309. So I'm going to start
teaching it now.Copy !req
310. I should have known it.Copy !req
311. - What are you doing here?
- I followed you.Copy !req
312. Psychology Today, my ass.Copy !req
313. You stayed with Brundle all night.Copy !req
314. Why didn't I
believe you, I wonder?Copy !req
315. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I think
he'd look great in this.Copy !req
316. Don't you? Hmm?Copy !req
317. Hmm? I mean, for your
Time magazine cover...Copy !req
318. you've got to look good, right?Copy !req
319. Don't you get it? I'm finally onto
something that's big. Huge.Copy !req
320. Yeah? What, his cock?Copy !req
321. Crude, Stathis. Very crude.Copy !req
322. You're too perfect to believe.Copy !req
323. You're a goddess.Copy !req
324. Thank you for making my most
paranoid fantasies come true.Copy !req
325. I don't have to report
to you, you creep!Copy !req
326. Ronnie, you've got
to talk to me!Copy !req
327. I don't have to do anything!
We're finished, remember?Copy !req
328. I'll spend the night
anywhere I damn well please.Copy !req
329. Sorry. Uh, I'll take this too.Copy !req
330. I think it's time
for champagne.Copy !req
331. Oh, God, Seth.
It's really happened.Copy !req
332. You did it. You'll never
have to get carsick again.Copy !req
333. Or airsick or seasick.Copy !req
334. Mm, I know, I know.
Or tricycle-sick.Copy !req
335. What's next?Copy !req
336. Well, I'll send the baboon
out for tests.Copy !req
337. - See if he's really okay.
- How long will that take?Copy !req
338. Could be weeks.Copy !req
339. Really?Copy !req
340. - Yeah, why?
- Well, I was thinking...Copy !req
341. that we could take a holiday.Copy !req
342. - We could?
- Yeah. You know, like an old married couple.Copy !req
343. Old man's got
a couple of weeks off...Copy !req
344. so they go to Florida,
someplace warm.Copy !req
345. Just you and me?Copy !req
346. Yeah, why? Is there someone else
you're thinking of bringing along?Copy !req
347. No, no, I just, um—Copy !req
348. Is this a romance we're having?
Is that what it is?Copy !req
349. Yeah. It could be a romance.Copy !req
350. Come here.Copy !req
351. I have a great idea.Copy !req
352. Do you like Chinese food?Copy !req
353. Yes.Copy !req
354. We're going to have
a very romantic dinner right here.Copy !req
355. - Hey, what's this?
- Oh, yeah.Copy !req
356. From your editor. Sorry.
Somebody slipped it under the door.Copy !req
357. Hello, Victor?
Yeah, it's Seth Brundle.Copy !req
358. - Oh, yeah, I'll wait.
- Oh, no.Copy !req
359. What? What's that?Copy !req
360. Nothing. It's just, uh,
personal bullshit.Copy !req
361. I thought old married couples
shared all their personal bullshit.Copy !req
362. That's how they stayed
old and married.Copy !req
363. Uh, listen.Copy !req
364. - Seth, don't rush it.
- What are you talking about?Copy !req
365. - Look, I have to go out for a few hours.
- Now? No.Copy !req
366. Ronnie, uh,
spicy eggplant, champagne.Copy !req
367. Just for a few hours.Copy !req
368. I still have the residue
of another life, you know.Copy !req
369. I have to... scrape it
off my shoe...Copy !req
370. and get rid of it
once and for all.Copy !req
371. - Uh, hi—Copy !req
372. What's this supposed to mean?Copy !req
373. It means that I'm your editor, and I'm
shaping your material into a story.Copy !req
374. You're the one who told me there was no story.
You said Brundle was a con man.Copy !req
375. I've decided to trust
your journalistic instincts.Copy !req
376. Thanks very much,
but this is not your story.Copy !req
377. - It's mine.
- Says who?Copy !req
378. I sent you to the Bartok party
to see what you could find.Copy !req
379. Your discovery is my discovery.Copy !req
380. I have a lot of
background on Brundle.Copy !req
381. He's been working
on this thing for six years.Copy !req
382. There's material out there
to find if you dig deep.Copy !req
383. - I dug.
- Stathis—Copy !req
384. Everything that has to do
with transportation will become obsolete.Copy !req
385. And I am right there
in the middle of it...Copy !req
386. the only recorder
of the event from the inside out.Copy !req
387. Okay.Copy !req
388. Okay.Copy !req
389. Look, uh—
Just keep me informed, all right?Copy !req
390. As a friend?Copy !req
391. As a professional confidant?Copy !req
392. That's all?Copy !req
393. I don't want you
to disappear from my life.Copy !req
394. Okay.Copy !req
395. What about sex?Copy !req
396. I'm not saying love or affection,
just stress-relieving sex.Copy !req
397. You and me.Copy !req
398. You're disgusting, as always.Copy !req
399. Wouldn't want
to disappoint you.Copy !req
400. "Residue" means
her old boyfriend, doesn't it?Copy !req
401. Stathis Borans
is her old boyfriend.Copy !req
402. "From the desk
of Stathis Borans."Copy !req
403. How about, "Under the desk
of Stathis Borans"?Copy !req
404. She's working
for her old boyfriend.Copy !req
405. Now she runs out
late at night to see him.Copy !req
406. What is this, the Ronnie game?Copy !req
407. I'm catching on.
I'm catching on.Copy !req
408. I didn't mean
to kill your brother.Copy !req
409. But he didn't die in vain,
if that's of any comfort. And—Copy !req
410. As the general said...Copy !req
411. "There's nothing I'd ask you to do
that I wouldn't do myself, boys."Copy !req
412. Hey, you're all right.Copy !req
413. From looking at you,
I can tell you're okay.Copy !req
414. What are we waiting for?
Let's do it.Copy !req
415. How you doing?Copy !req
416. Now, you tell me...Copy !req
417. am I different somehow?Copy !req
418. Is it live, or is it Memorex?Copy !req
419. It's too bad Ronnie missed it.Copy !req
420. I missed you last night.Copy !req
421. It's still night. I came back.Copy !req
422. You had to celebrate
without me.Copy !req
423. I'm sorry.Copy !req
424. I went through last night.Copy !req
425. You went through?Copy !req
426. Without testing the baboon?Copy !req
427. I was... drunk.
I was a bit upset.Copy !req
428. You could have killed yourself.Copy !req
429. Are you sleeping
with Stathis Borans?Copy !req
430. What are you talking about?Copy !req
431. I— I don't know. I just,
um, get that feeling.Copy !req
432. That's why you were upset?Copy !req
433. I got jealous.Copy !req
434. Oh, God. Seth...Copy !req
435. you don't have to be jealous.Copy !req
436. He's an old boyfriend.Copy !req
437. He was teaching at college.
I was a science major.Copy !req
438. He got me started
in journalism.Copy !req
439. Is he still in love with you?Copy !req
440. How could he not be?Copy !req
441. Hey, what about our deal?Copy !req
442. You went through,
and I wasn't there.Copy !req
443. Don't worry.
I taped it for you.Copy !req
444. You did?Copy !req
445. So, I asked the computer
if it had improved me.Copy !req
446. It said it didn't know
what I was talking about.Copy !req
447. That's made me think carefully about
what I've been feeling and why.Copy !req
448. I'm beginning to think the sheer process
of being taken apart atom by atom...Copy !req
449. and put back together again—Copy !req
450. It's like coffee being put through a filter.
It's somehow a purifying process.Copy !req
451. It's purified me. It's cleansed me.
And I'll tell you...Copy !req
452. I think it's going to
allow me to realize...Copy !req
453. the personal potential
I've been neglecting all these years...Copy !req
454. that I've been obsessively pursuing
goal after goal.Copy !req
455. Do you normally take
coffee with your sugar?Copy !req
456. What? Oh.Copy !req
457. You know, I just don't think
I've ever given me a chance to be me.Copy !req
458. But, of course, interestingly...Copy !req
459. at the exact moment that I achieved what'll
probably prove to be my life's work...Copy !req
460. that's the moment when I started
being the real me finally.Copy !req
461. So, uh, listen—
Not to wax messianic...Copy !req
462. might blur the resultant individual effect
of either individually.Copy !req
463. But it is, uh, nevertheless
also certainly true...Copy !req
464. I will say now
however subjectively...Copy !req
465. that human teleportation— molecular
decimation, breakdown and reformation—Copy !req
466. is inherently purging—
it makes a man a king.Copy !req
467. From the moment I walked out,
I felt like a million bucks.Copy !req
468. I think I am gonna have
a cannoli after all.Copy !req
469. Waiter! I mean,
w-what an accomplishment!Copy !req
470. But what have I really done?
All I've done is say to the world...Copy !req
471. "Let's go. Move.
Catch me if you can."Copy !req
472. - Waiter! Jesus Christ!Copy !req
473. Oh, God. Wait.Copy !req
474. - What?
- Uh— Oh, God.Copy !req
475. - What?Copy !req
476. How can you keep going?Copy !req
477. You can't have any—
have any fluid left in your body.Copy !req
478. We've been doing this
for hours.Copy !req
479. I-I'm not ready to quit yet.Copy !req
480. - Come on.
- Oh—Copy !req
481. - Come on.
- Oh—Copy !req
482. Mm. Hey. What's this?Copy !req
483. It's an attempt to distract me,
that's what it is.Copy !req
484. No, really, what is it?Copy !req
485. It's like...
hairs or something.Copy !req
486. I don't know. It's, uh—Copy !req
487. It happens when you get older.
Weird hair configurations.Copy !req
488. They're really coarse.Copy !req
489. Well, I've never really
been hairy enough.Copy !req
490. You know what I mean?
Always too boyish.Copy !req
491. I'm looking forward
to a hairy body.Copy !req
492. It's one of the compensations of old age.
Come here. Where are you going?Copy !req
493. Let me go.Copy !req
494. You're let go.Copy !req
495. Hey, hey, hey! Not my new hairs.
What are you doing?Copy !req
496. Relax, Brundle.Copy !req
497. I don't really think you want a body
covered with these.Copy !req
498. God! They're really tough.Copy !req
499. Listen. I want you
to go through.Copy !req
500. I want to teleport you
as soon as possible.Copy !req
501. Right now.
You'll feel incredible.Copy !req
502. Ronnie, I hardly need to sleep anymore
and I feel wonderful.Copy !req
503. It's like a drug, but a perfectly
pure and benign drug.Copy !req
504. The power I feel
surging inside me—Copy !req
505. I won't wear you out. We'll be
the perfect couple. The dynamic duo.Copy !req
506. - Come on. Right now.
- Hey, wait!Copy !req
507. Don't give me that born-again teleportation rap.
I told you I'm scared to do it.Copy !req
508. W-What do I have to say?
I'm not gonna do it!Copy !req
509. You're a fucking drag,
you know that!Copy !req
510. Something went wrong, Seth.Copy !req
511. When you went through,
something went wrong.Copy !req
512. No? If not you,
if you're too chickenshit...Copy !req
513. to be a member of
the dynamic duo club, okay, then great.Copy !req
514. I'll find somebody else,
somebody who can keep up with me.Copy !req
515. Seth, you have to listen to me.Copy !req
516. You're afraid to dive
into the plasma pool, aren't you?Copy !req
517. You're afraid to be
destroyed and recreated, aren't you?Copy !req
518. I'll bet you think you woke me up
about the flesh, don't you?Copy !req
519. But you only know society's
straight line about the flesh.Copy !req
520. You can't penetrate beyond
society's sick, gray fear of the flesh.Copy !req
521. Drink deep or taste not
the plasma spring!Copy !req
522. See what I'm saying?Copy !req
523. I'm not just talking about
sex and penetration.Copy !req
524. I'm talking about penetration
beyond the veil of the flesh—Copy !req
525. a deep, penetrating dive
into the plasma pool.Copy !req
526. ? Rock]Copy !req
527. I'll have a scotch.Copy !req
528. Who's winning?Copy !req
529. I don't know.
I hope it's Marky.Copy !req
530. - How come?
- Because...Copy !req
531. I like Marky tonight.Copy !req
532. Well, I like you tonight.Copy !req
533. Maybe I'd better get
involved in this too.Copy !req
534. Hey, pal, you're disturbing us.Copy !req
535. I got 100 bucks says
I can beat either one of you.Copy !req
536. Take a hike, asshole.Copy !req
537. Here.Copy !req
538. Here's my 100...Copy !req
539. and I take the lady home
for the night if I win.Copy !req
540. Says who? Do I look like
a hooker to you?Copy !req
541. Hey, Tawny, it's an easy 100.
Come on, pal. Let's get it over with.Copy !req
542. Better watch out.
He eats chocolate bars.Copy !req
543. Yeah, so I noticed.Copy !req
544. - I don't think he has a chance.Copy !req
545. My arm!Copy !req
546. Are you
a bodybuilder or something?Copy !req
547. Yeah, I build bodies. I take them apart,
then I put them back together again.Copy !req
548. Well, you sure
took Marky apart.Copy !req
549. - Let's go back to my place.
- Your place?Copy !req
550. Yeah, well, okay. I live
with my mother anyway.Copy !req
551. But, uh, can we go to
maybe a few more bars first?Copy !req
552. I mean, it's a little
too early to quit.Copy !req
553. Sure, a few more bars.Copy !req
554. Great place.Copy !req
555. Hey!Copy !req
556. There's no elevator.Copy !req
557. - I can't make it.
- No, there's an elevator.Copy !req
558. - There. Don't you feel elevated?Copy !req
559. Whoa!Copy !req
560. Oh!Copy !req
561. Ooh.Copy !req
562. Ooh!Copy !req
563. Wow.Copy !req
564. Are you some sort of magician?Copy !req
565. Yes.Copy !req
566. Ahhh.Copy !req
567. - Ooh.Copy !req
568. So? Are we going
to breakfast or not?Copy !req
569. - It's your turn.
- To do what?Copy !req
570. - I want you to go through.
- No.Copy !req
571. - I don't want to try that.
- Why not? It'll make you feel sexy.Copy !req
572. But I already feel sexy.Copy !req
573. How 'bout...
a nice alcohol rub?Copy !req
574. Don't do that! It hurts.Copy !req
575. Sorry, hon.Copy !req
576. I didn't know you had
the skin of a princess.Copy !req
577. - You're real sensitive, huh?
- Okay, okay!Copy !req
578. That's it.
You're going to like it.Copy !req
579. I don't want to. I'm afraid.Copy !req
580. - Don't be afraid.
- No.Copy !req
581. Be afraid. Be very afraid.Copy !req
582. Who's this?Copy !req
583. Oh, I forgot to tell you.
I live with my mother too.Copy !req
584. Mum, meet Tawny.Copy !req
585. I gotta go.Copy !req
586. Thanks for a wonderful time.Copy !req
587. Why'd you scare
her off? Jealous?Copy !req
588. You're changing, Seth.Copy !req
589. Everything about you
is changing.Copy !req
590. You look bad.Copy !req
591. You smell bad.Copy !req
592. I've never been
much of a bather.Copy !req
593. Those... weird hairs that were growing
out of your back, I took them to a lab.Copy !req
594. I had them analyzed.Copy !req
595. The hairs?Copy !req
596. The hairs?Copy !req
597. Oh. Yeah, that's
a strange thing to do.Copy !req
598. Not as strange as the results.Copy !req
599. The guy at the lab
had trouble identifying them.Copy !req
600. He finally came
to the conclusion...Copy !req
601. that they were
definitely not human.Copy !req
602. Oh! Very good.Copy !req
603. Not human, Seth.Copy !req
604. In fact, very likely
insect hairs.Copy !req
605. That's silly.
That's ridiculous.Copy !req
606. Look! Now there's more.
Uh, look at your face!Copy !req
607. Something happened
when you went through, Seth.Copy !req
608. You've got to get some help.
I think you must be sick.Copy !req
609. You're jealous!Copy !req
610. I've become free.
I've been released, and you can't stand it.Copy !req
611. You'll do anything
to bring me down.Copy !req
612. Look at me. Does this look sick?
Does this look like a sick man to you?Copy !req
613. - No! Stop it!
- Do you know any sick men who can do that? Come here.Copy !req
614. - No. Seth.
- Deal's off. I don't need you anymore.Copy !req
615. No, wait! Seth, please.
Wait. Seth!Copy !req
616. Don't come back!Copy !req
617. Oh, God.Copy !req
618. Oh, God.Copy !req
619. Oh. Oh, God.Copy !req
620. Oh, God.Copy !req
621. Ow.Copy !req
622. Oh, no.Copy !req
623. What's happening to me?
Am I dying?Copy !req
624. Is this how it starts?
Am I dying?Copy !req
625. Brundle, Seth.Copy !req
626. Give me a disk.Copy !req
627. Uh, I need the first
teleportation, S. Brundle.Copy !req
628. Run sequence.Copy !req
629. Hello.Copy !req
630. Seth.Copy !req
631. Seth, I've been trying
to reach you. Where are you?Copy !req
632. For the last four weeks,
I've been afraid to see you.Copy !req
633. Now, I'm... afraid not to.Copy !req
634. Where are you? Are you at home?Copy !req
635. Veronica, you don't know
how right you were.Copy !req
636. I've gotten...
much, much worse.Copy !req
637. Please come to see me.
Please come now.Copy !req
638. Seth? I'm here.Copy !req
639. Stop.Copy !req
640. Seth.Copy !req
641. You were right.Copy !req
642. I'm diseased and, uh,
might be contagious somehow.Copy !req
643. I wouldn't want to infect you.Copy !req
644. And it's been accelerating.Copy !req
645. It's unrelenting. Every day
there are... changes.Copy !req
646. Every time I look in the mirror there's
someone different, hideous, repulsive.Copy !req
647. What happened?Copy !req
648. ? I know an old lady who swallowed a fly
Perhaps she'll die?Copy !req
649. Seth, please.Copy !req
650. I was not pure. The teleporter insisted
on inner purity. I was not pure.Copy !req
651. I don't know what you mean.Copy !req
652. A fly...Copy !req
653. got into the... transmitter pod with me
that first time when I was alone.Copy !req
654. Uh, the computer...
got confused.Copy !req
655. There weren't supposed
to be two separate genetic patterns...Copy !req
656. and it decided to, uh,
splice us together.Copy !req
657. It mated us, me and the fly.Copy !req
658. We hadn't even been
properly introduced.Copy !req
659. My teleporter turned her
into a gene splicer...Copy !req
660. a very good one, and now I'm not
Seth Brundle anymore.Copy !req
661. I'm the offspring of
Brundle and housefly.Copy !req
662. Oh, God.Copy !req
663. - No.
- Oh, God. Seth.Copy !req
664. You look so pretty.Copy !req
665. What will happen?Copy !req
666. Oh, I think it's showing itself
as a bizarre form of cancer...Copy !req
667. - Oh, no. - And general
cellular chaos and revolution.Copy !req
668. I'm, uh, just going
to have to disintegrate.Copy !req
669. In a novel way, no doubt.
And then I'll die.Copy !req
670. - And then it'll be over.
- No, no, no.Copy !req
671. I don't accept that.
There must be something we can do...Copy !req
672. somebody we can go to,
tests that can be done.Copy !req
673. No! Um, I won't be just
another tumorous bore...Copy !req
674. talking endlessly about his... hair
falling out and his lost lymph nodes.Copy !req
675. Then what do you want me to do?
Why did you call me?Copy !req
676. Oh!Copy !req
677. Oh, that— that's disgusting.Copy !req
678. Uh.Copy !req
679. My... ear. No.Copy !req
680. I'm scared.Copy !req
681. Help me.Copy !req
682. Please. Please help me.Copy !req
683. Don't go back to him.Copy !req
684. That's it? That's your advice?Copy !req
685. He's right, don't you see?
It could be contagious.Copy !req
686. - It could turn into an epidemic.
- I have to go back to him.Copy !req
687. I don't believe this.Copy !req
688. If you saw him, Stathis-Copy !req
689. if you saw how scared and angry
and desperate he is-Copy !req
690. I'm sure Typhoid Mary was a nice person too
when you saw her socially.Copy !req
691. - Listen, I do not want you going—
- I don't care what you want.Copy !req
692. All right, fine.Copy !req
693. Do I have permission to claim your body
when this is all over?Copy !req
694. Oh, God.Copy !req
695. Look, how about this?Copy !req
696. You say if only I saw him.
Show me.Copy !req
697. Tape him. Show me.Copy !req
698. Let me think about it.Copy !req
699. I'll come up with something.Copy !req
700. Seth?Copy !req
701. - Seth?
- No, no. Up here.Copy !req
702. Oh!Copy !req
703. Gotten pretty good at it,
haven't I?Copy !req
704. - Yeah, it's almost second nature.Copy !req
705. Stopped biting my nails.Copy !req
706. Oh, look at this. What's this?Copy !req
707. I don't know.Copy !req
708. I seem to be stricken by a disease
with a purpose, wouldn't you say?Copy !req
709. Maybe not such a...
bad disease after all.Copy !req
710. I can't stay here.Copy !req
711. No, no, no.Copy !req
712. Why not? Why can't you?Copy !req
713. I can't take it. It's too much.Copy !req
714. What's there to take?
The disease has just revealed its purpose.Copy !req
715. We don't have to worry
about contagion anymore.Copy !req
716. - I know what the disease wants.
- What does the disease want?Copy !req
717. It wants to... turn me
into something else.Copy !req
718. That's not too terrible, is it?Copy !req
719. Most people would give anything
to be turned into something else.Copy !req
720. - Turned into what?
- What do you think, a fly?Copy !req
721. Am I becoming a 185-pound fly?Copy !req
722. No, I'm becoming something
that never existed before.Copy !req
723. I'm becoming Brundlefly.Copy !req
724. Don't you think that's worth
a Nobel Prize or two?Copy !req
725. Here.Copy !req
726. I want to give
a demonstration...Copy !req
727. that I think you'll want to,
uh, record for posterity.Copy !req
728. I think you must chronicle...Copy !req
729. the life and times
of Brundlefly, don't you?Copy !req
730. At the very least, it should make
a fabulous children's book.Copy !req
731. You seem tired.Copy !req
732. You got me there?Copy !req
733. How does Brundlefly eat?Copy !req
734. He found out the hard and painful way
that he eats much the way a fly eats.Copy !req
735. His teeth are now
useless because...Copy !req
736. although he can chew up solid food,
he can't digest it.Copy !req
737. Solid food hurts.
So, like a fly...Copy !req
738. Brundlefly breaks down solids
with a corrosive enzyme...Copy !req
739. playfully called vomit drop.Copy !req
740. He regurgitates
on his food, it liquefies...Copy !req
741. and then he sucks it back up.Copy !req
742. Ready for
a demonstration, kids?Copy !req
743. Here goes.Copy !req
744. - Oh, my God.Copy !req
745. - My God.Copy !req
746. - Hey, Ronnie?Copy !req
747. Ronnie?Copy !req
748. What is it?Copy !req
749. I'm pregnant.Copy !req
750. Oh, no.Copy !req
751. Oh, no.Copy !req
752. I'm pregnant with Seth's baby.Copy !req
753. What do you want to do?Copy !req
754. I don't know.Copy !req
755. I just— I don't know.Copy !req
756. Stathis, I'm scared.Copy !req
757. It's going to be
all right, Ronnie.Copy !req
758. It's going to be fine.Copy !req
759. I don't think
I want to lose it.Copy !req
760. Is there something wrong with me?
Why am I losing it?Copy !req
761. It's better this way,
Ronnie. You'll see.Copy !req
762. It's the best thing
that could happen.Copy !req
763. She's expelling it.
It's coming out.Copy !req
764. I don't even think
we're gonna have to go in.Copy !req
765. - Oh.
- It's gonna be easy. Don't worry, honey.Copy !req
766. - No. Please, no.
- Yeah, there's no problem. It'll be over soon.Copy !req
767. Here we go. Okay.Copy !req
768. Just a little suction here,
a little suction.Copy !req
769. Suction. Hold it. Hold on a minute.
There's more in there.Copy !req
770. - There's more?
- Yeah. I mean, a lot more.Copy !req
771. Okay. You're gonna have to help us.
Come on. You can push.Copy !req
772. You can push it out. Come on.Copy !req
773. - Oh!
- Push! That's it. Come on.Copy !req
774. - Push. Use those muscles. That's it.
- No, wait.Copy !req
775. Give us a push.
You can push it out. That's it.Copy !req
776. - Come on.
- No, wait. Wait. No.Copy !req
777. - You can do it.
- Oh!Copy !req
778. Wait! Oh!Copy !req
779. Oh! No!Copy !req
780. Oh! No! Oh! Oh!Copy !req
781. Oh.Copy !req
782. I want a disk. Give me
preliminary integration.Copy !req
783. I want a disk.
Give me preliminary integration.Copy !req
784. I want a disk.
Give me preliminary integration.Copy !req
785. I want a disk. Give me
preliminary integration.Copy !req
786. You're relics. Yes, you are.
You can't deny it.Copy !req
787. Vestigial,
archaeological, redundant.Copy !req
788. Artifacts of a bygone era,
of historical interest only.Copy !req
789. You've missed
some good moments.Copy !req
790. Is that why you're here,
to catch up?Copy !req
791. I wanted—Copy !req
792. My teeth have begun
to fall out.Copy !req
793. The medicine cabinet's now
the Brundle Museum of Natural History.Copy !req
