Stathis Borans
- Veronica Quaife: Don't you get it? I am finally onto something that's big. Huge.
- Stathis Borans: Yeah? What? His cock?
- Veronica Quaife: 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.
- Veronica Quaife: 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.
- Veronica Quaife: Are you getting out or am I?
- Stathis Borans: I'll go. I have to put this issue to bed. Do you want me to come back later and tuck you in?
- Veronica Quaife: I know I should've changed the lock.
- Stathis Borans: I know you wouldn't.
- Veronica Quaife: Yeah?
- Stathis Borans: Yeah? That's because - unconsciously, you still want me to come back, move in again.
- Veronica Quaife: No. That's because - *very* consciously, I'm lazy and disorganized.
- Stathis Borans: You're a goddess. Thank you for making my most paranoid fantasies come true.
- [bows down in front of Veronica]
- Stathis Borans: Do I have permission to clean your body when this is all over?
- Veronica Quaife: [rolls her eyes] Oh, God... .
