“You have to leave now, and never come back here. Have you ever heard...”

Seth

[Seth is in the final stages of the transformation]

You have to leave now, and never come back here. Have you ever heard of insect politics? [Veronica shakes her head] Neither have I. Insects don't have politics. They're very brutal. No compassion, no compromise. We can't trust the insect. I'd like to become the first insect politician. Y'see, I'd like to, but...I'm afraid... [groans]

Veronica

I don't know what you're trying to say!

Seth

I'm saying... I'm saying I-I'm an insect who dreamt he was a man, and loved it. But now the dream is over...and the insect is awake.

Veronica

No, no, Seth...

Seth

I'm saying...I'll hurt you if you stay.

Seth Brundle I will say now, however subjectively, that human teleportation, molecular decimation, breakdown and reformation is inherently purging. It makes a man a king. From the moment I walked out of the pod, I felt like a million bucks... I mean, what an accomplishment! But what have I really done? All I've done is say to the world: "Let's go! Move! Catch me if you can!" Seth Okay, okay! Now you're going to like it! Tawny I don't want to! [Seth drags Tawny to the lab] I'm afraid! Seth Don't be afraid! Veronica No. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
