CHRIS WALAS:
I'd like to thank my director David Cronenberg, my producer "Mr. Producer Head" Stuart Cornfeld, the best makeup crew I've ever worked with, Stephan, and the person that for me made the makeup really work, Jeff Goldblum. Thank you very much. Stephan...

STEPHAN DUPUIS:
I would like to thank the makeup crew on location, Margaret Beserra, Donald Mowat, the entire C.W.I. Crew. And again Mr. Jeff Goldblum for doing such an incredible performance being buried under five pounds of grotesque makeup. Thank you, Jeffrey, for your patience.

CHRIS WALAS:
Thanks, Jeff.
