    The title "More Human than I Am Alone" is taken from an exchange that occurs at the end of David Cronenberg's The Fly, where the main character attempts to offset his transformation into a human-fly hybrid by fusing himself with another human--his pregnant girlfriend, Veronica.  "We'll be the ultimate family.  A family of three, joined together in one body. More human than I am alone."
