The Fly II Page #2

Synopsis: Seth Brundle was a renowned scientist whose warped experiments with teleportation transformed him into a man/fly hybrid called BrundleFly. A few months after the BrundleFly insect met its demise by his lover's, Veronica, shotgun, she dies while giving birth to their son, Martin. Seth's corrupt employer, Bartok, adopts Martin, only so Martin can solve the new problems that the still-functioning TelePods present and to use him as a science project because of the dormant insect genes. Martin is now fully grown, even though he is five, and the fly genes begin to awaken and make him just like dear, dead dad. With the help of his girlfriend, Beth, they go to wherever they can find a possible cure before Bartok finds them and brings them back, but not before Martin finishes his transformation into MartinFly, the deadliest of the BrundleFly species.

perhaps exen more so.

I don't like these things.

It's because of the dog,

isn't it ?

ow long are you gonna

hold that against me ?

It was a tragic mistake,

but that's in the past now.

You must concentrate

on the future,

and the future is right here

in this very room.

Imagine a new era of surgery

without incision.

Cutting people open would be primitive.

a thing of the past.

All the things that would

become obsolete oxernight.

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 long.

And one more thing.

Your father kept a record

of his progress.

Your father kept a record

of his progress.

Before you decide...

listen to your father.

[ Woman ] We've just seen the fIrst

teleportation of a human being.

Dr. Seth Brundle.

how did it feel going through ?

[ Seth ]

It felt like a. a stutter.

- A what ?

- A. uh--

A stutter.

You know. a hiccup.

A slight dislocation

of my physical life.

Not unpleasant.

Just a little interruption of rhythm.

the same telepod

I started in.

And now how do

you feel ?

I should feel exactly the same

as before, but I don't.

I feel xery, uh...

energized.

Very coordinated.

I feel as though I work better

physically,you know.

Everything seems to just work better

than it ever did before.

Why should that be ?

I don't know.

It's possible that the...

teleporter has somehow

improved me.

In reassembling me,

it might'xe seen...

where things could be improxed

theoretically... and it did it.

I told it to be creatixe,

and maybe it has been.

- [ Punching Keypad ]

- [ Line Ringing ]

- [ Woman ] ow can I help you ?

- [ Chuckles ]

Uh. I'm sorry. Do you have any

organic matter that I could borrow ?

- Ecuse me ?

- A potato. a plant. Something living.

I'm sorry. you'll have

to speak to maintenance.

They won't be in until 8:oo a.m.

8:
oo a.m.

Well. thanks anyway.

- [ Zapping ]

- [ Chuckles ]

[ Man #1 ]

Hey, we got a xisitor.

[ Man #2 ]

It's Dartok's brat.

That kid gets away with murder.

Don't worry.

e'll get his someday.

[ Zapping ]

[ Wooshing, Clicking ]

Nice catch.

- What is this ?

- A fly.

An artifIcial fly

for fIshing.

I don't get out much.

I'd go crazy here

without some sort of dixersion.

I mean. C.R.T. burnout

till 3:
oo in the morning.

When I came to Bartok.

I heard it was good for advancement.

I've been here si months. and they

still have me in computer fIling.

Graveyard shift. no less.

- Are you new here ?

- I'xe been here Fixe years.

Five years. and they still

have you working nights ?

I work days too.

- When do you sleep ?

- I don't.

You don't.

I got that in California.

So what are you

working on ?

The most important invention

in the history of mankind.

- With my cactus ?

- Yes.

I'm talking about change

beyond your imagination--

the big leap from Stone Age

to microtechnologies.

Would you like to come up

to my lab and watch. Beth Logan ?

Well. I have to give you points

for originality.

You don't believe me ?

Look. don't take this

personally. but--

Should I ?

Yeah. I love living on a houseboat.

It's very peaceful on the water.

- ouseboat ?

- ey. wait a minute.

Listen. I can't go any further.

I don't have clearance for this sector.

Poof!

You have clearance.

[ Electronic Sizzling ]

Wait.

What did you just do ?

I have just broken down the molecular

structure of your cactus...

and teleported it

from one pod to the other.

- You--

- And--

What's that ?

It. um--

It wasn't supposed to do this.

Something--

I'm sorry.

You keep it.

I have to get back

to work anyway.

But I enjoyed meeting you.

Martin Brundle.

Maybe you should

beta-test the program.

[ Door Shuts ]

Beth.

Would you like

to visit me again ?

- I don't want to disturb your work.

- You wouldn't.

You see. I-- I have no friends here.

only acquaintances.

and-- and--

I would like us

to be friends.

- Is that possible ?

- I'd like that.

I. um. I get a dinner break

every night at 1 o:oo.

Great.

Why don't you come down here ?

If you like. then you could

help me work on the telepods.

Okay.

- [ Door Opens ]

- And maybe we could fI my plant.

[ Chuckles ]

ey. Marty.

What's the good word ?

Got yourself a girlfriend now ?

No.

Too bad. Nice ass.

Last night I slept

for two hours.

That's the longest

I've ever slept in my life.

I'm not sure I'm willing

to attach any signifIcance to it.

Why not ? Normal people sleep.

It means I'm slowing down.

stabilizing. becoming normal.

It doesn't necessarily follow.

You're just working too hard.

If you were undergoing some metabolic

change. we would have found it by now.

Oh !

You're missing my vein.

- Aah ! Ow !

- Uh !

That's what you get

for not sitting still !

Now. let's

try it again.

I don't think so.

A girlfriend of mine

up in Specimens Division...

asked me up there tomorrow

during my break.

They're having

an offIce get-together.

You wanna come ?

- Will there be people there ?

- [ Laughs ]

Yeah. there usually are

at get-togethers.

But nice people.

You'd be surprised.

- Yeah ?

- Yes.

So that's your genius.

e is cute.

I told you. but he's shy.

I hope he's

enjoying himself.

[ Woman ]

I'xe nexer seen anything like it before

in my life. What the hell is it ?

Ask Genetics. We don't make 'em.

We just keep 'em alive.

- It's so ugly.

- Are you kidding ? e's our

pride and joy here in Specimens.

Our longest running engagement.

so to speak. Two years.

That's been alive

for two years ?

We call him Time.

e takes a lickin'. keeps on tickin'.
