Quotes 

• [meeting with Stathis Borans, now a bitter, crippled recluse] 

  Martin Brundle : I saw you on the videotape. You were...

  Stathis Borans : Don't sit there!

  Martin Brundle : You were there the night my father died; he was working on a cure.

  Stathis Borans : That's why you dragged yourself all the way out here? To find out about a cure?

  Martin Brundle : You're my only hope.

  Stathis Borans : Ah. Oh, kid, the last thing *I* am, is *anybody's* hope. You really don't want to hear about this.

  Martin Brundle : I *have* to know.

  Stathis Borans : Brundle stole my girl, your mother. Got her pregnant. Caused her death. Dissolved my hand and my foot with fly vomit! I had no love for the man. He "bugged" me! As for the "cure" he was working on: he dragged your mother kicking and screaming into that telepod, that they might be fused together in one beautiful body. So your mother blew his brains out with a shotgun. *There's* your *cure*. Go *away*.

  Beth Logan : You bastard! Where's your compassion?

  Stathis Borans : [chuckles]  I had to give it up; it cost me an arm and a leg!

  Martin Brundle : It cost you more than that.

• Beth : You can't walk... and you're getting worse...

  Martin Brundle : I'm getting...*better*!

• Martin Brundle : Something odd is happening to me and I don't know what it is.

• Martin Brundle : You mean this is mine? This is my place?

  Anton Bartok : Your place. Your private place. No more mirrors. No more prying eye. Well go on, take a look.

• Anton Bartok : [21:29]  Five years and millions of dollars later and what we have is the world's most expensive juicer. The greatest invention in the history of mankind and we can't get the damned thing to work. It's like a bunch of chimpanzees trying to figure out how to operate a car. Your father was a brilliant man. Brilliant! But, erratic. When he died, some of his secrets died with him. You can finish your father's work. You're as brilliant as he was, perhaps even more so.

  Martin Brundle : [22:18]  I don't like these things.

  Anton Bartok : It's because of the dog, isn't it? How long are you going to hold that against me? It was a tragic mistake. But that's in the past, now. You must concentrate on the future. The future is right here in this very room. Imagine a new era of surgery without incision. Cutting people open will be primitive; a thing of the past. All the things will become obsolete overnight. That's what these machines represent: A new age. If you want personnel, Dr. Trimble and his people are at your disposal. If you want to work alone, fine. It's your choice. Martin, we did everything we could for your dog. Take comfort in knowing he didn't suffer for long. Your father kept a record of his progress.

• Beth Logan : [Beth chases after Martin whom has run off into the night]  Stop!

  [Martin falls and collapses to the ground] 

  Beth Logan : Please, don't run away from me.

  Martin Brundle : I don't know what to do.

  Beth Logan : [Sobbing]  Me either. Martin, I'm not going to leave you.

  [Beth embraces Martin] 

• Beth Logan : [Deleted scene - alternate ending. Beth comes out of the boathouse with a plate of food. She joins Martin and sits down next to him]  How do you feel?

  Martin Brundle : Better. Much better.

  [a fly lands on the plate of food. Films ends] 

  Martin Brundle : .
