Seth Brundle:
[Seth and Ronnie try an experiment late at night. Seth takes a steak and cuts it in half. He cooks one half, and the other half is teleported then cooked. He hands one plate to Ronnie and cuts her a piece]

Ronnie:

Oh... Oh, oh, tastes funny.
[Spits it in a napkin]
Seth Brundle:
Funny? How?
Ronnie:
It tastes um... synthetic.
Seth Brundle:
[Seth smiles and takes the napkin]
Mmm-hmm.
Ronnie:

Me... I'm lost.
Seth Brundle:
The flesh. It should make the computer, uh crazy. Like those old ladies pinching babies. But it doesn't; not yet because I haven't taught the computer to be made crazy by the...
[smiles at Ronnie]
Seth Brundle:
flesh. The poetry of the steak. So, I'm gonna start teaching it now.
