Metamorphosis Explorer Gifts

"It doesn't matter how many people tell me I'm beautiful. Inside, I still feel like the fat caterpillar all the other kids teased unmercifully!"

Mr. Metamorphosis: "At least this better than waking up as a cockroach."

"You're not the same pupa you were when we first met."

"It's not face paint. I'm transitioning into a snow leopard."

A man deflates and dissolves into the ground and becomes a flower.

"I thought you wanted me to change."

"Cthulhus, sir. Thousands of 'em."

"I wasn't expecting to be in here for so long."

"You've changed."

"If I knew when this was going to end, it wouldn't be so stressful."

'You've changed.'

'Funny, I thought a near-death experience would be different, somehow.'

"We were so happy doc. . . but then she changed!"

'Jensen for crying out loud, go in there and tell Bagby that opening up a parallel universe vortex on company time will not, and stress the will not, be tolerated.'

"I like to crawl. I was happier as a caterpillar."

"True, you're a butterfly now, but you still think like a caterpillar."

Yeah, I woke up as a roach because I was so full of existential dread – Why did you wake up as a dung beetle?

'Sorry Bruce, but we have to stop seeing each other: I've changed, you have to understand...'

Cocooning: "I still don't understand what's so cosy about it."

Caterpillar Paranoia

Insect Police. There's his mug shot and this is a computer generated image of what he might look like today.

"I don't feel ready to commit to a cacoon, either, but do you ever worry we'll wake up one day and be forty and still caterpillars?"

'Osgood was a theologian back on Earth, and he thought all this stuff would be allegorical.'

"No! Of course you're beautiful, now. . . it's just that, ever since you showed me those baby photos of you. Well, I just can't seem to get those images out of my head."

"He doesn't look like you at all."'

"I don't believe it. That's my ex-wife."

'Good evening sir.Just wondering if you'd like to sample Night-Mart's new range of A-positive.'

Have you considered the possibility that you're only hiding from yourself?

'I see a bright future, a transformation: Beauty, wings, elegance...'

This wasn't quite the fairytale ending Colin had anticipated.

Metamorphosis is coming.

I think I've been stuck in my tiny apartment too long.

"I'm open to new things."

"Being reborn, eh? What better time to learn about our Lord? He was smooshed for your sins - did you know that?!"

"'Meaning'? Hahahahaha..."
