[Rhythmic electronic beeping]
COMPUTER: Next subject, Kowalski, Leon.
Engineer, waste disposal.
Five section, new employee, six days.
HOLDEN: Come in.
[Receptionist in background paging
on intercom, electronic buzzing]
HOLDEN: Sit down.
LEON: Care if I talk?
LEON: I'm kind of nervous
when I take tests.
HOLDEN: Just please don't move.
LEON: Oh, I'm sorry.
[Electronic hissing and beeping]
I already had an IQ test this year.
I don't think I've ever had one of these.
HOLDEN: Reaction time is a factor,
so please, pay attention.
Now answer as quickly as you can.
LEON: Sure.
HOLDEN: 1 187 Hunterwasser.
LEON: That's the hotel.
HOLDEN: What?
LEON: Where I live.
Nice place?
Yeah, sure, I guess.
Is that part of the test?
HOLDEN: No. Just warming up. That's all.
LEON: It's not fancy or anything.
HOLDEN: You're in a desert walking along
in the sand when all of a sud...
Is this the test, now?
HOLDEN: Yes. You're in a desert,
walking in the sand...
...when you look down...
- What one?
- What?
What desert?
HOLDEN: Doesn't make a difference
what desert. It's hypothetical.
LEON: But how come I'd be there?
HOLDEN: Maybe you're fed up, maybe
you want to be by yourself. Who knows?
You look down and you see a tortoise.
HOLDEN: It's crawling towards you...
LEON: A tortoise? What's that?
HOLDEN: You know what a turtle is?
LEON: Of course.
Same thing.
LEON: I've never seen a turtle.
[Distorted beeping]
But I understand what you mean.
You reach down and you flip the tortoise
over on its back, Leon.
Do you make up these questions,
Mr. Holden?
LEON: Or do they write them down
for you?
The tortoise lays on its back,
its belly baking in the sun...
...beating its legs, trying to turn itself over,
but it can't.
HOLDEN: [Voice echoes] Not without
your help. But you're not helping.
What do you mean I'm not helping?
HOLDEN: [Voice echoes]
I mean, you're not helping.
Why is that, Leon?
[Simulated sound of heartbeat]
They're just questions, Leon.
In answer to your query,
they're written down for me.
It's a test designed to provoke
an emotional response.
[Heartbeat stops]
Shall we continue?
Describe, in single words, only the good
things that come into your mind...
...about your mother.
LEON: My mother?
HOLDEN: Yeah.
LEON: Let me tell you about my mother.
[Gun blasts]
[Vessel hums, foghorn blows]
LOUDSPEAKER: A new life awaits you

[Vendor hustles Deckard over]
[Voice continues over loudspeaker,
background]
DECKARD: Give me four.
[Vendor yelling in Asian language]
DECKARD: No. Four. Two, two, four.
And noodles!
[Olmos speaks in Asian language]
He say you're under arrest, Mr. Deckard.
Got the wrong guy, pal.
[Continues in Asian language]
He say you "Blade Runner. "
Tell him I'm eating!
Captain Bryant....
Bryant, huh?
[Engine rumbles]
[Ambient synthesizer music]
[Shuttle hums and hisses]
SHUTTLE: Now on glide path.
Mark course, over the landing threshold.
- Hiya, Deck.
- Bryant.
You wouldn't have come
if I just asked you to. Sit down, pal.
BRYANT:
Come on, don't be an asshole, Deckard.
I've got four skin-jobs walking the streets.
[Distorted voices speak on CB radio,
background]
They jumped the shuttle Off-world.
Killed the crew and passengers.
We found the shuttle drifting
off the coast two weeks ago...
BRYANT: ... so we know they're around.
