Oh, now, that's a great one!
You like it?
Bravo!
ThankQ!
This is my new friend...
I'm Adam Webber.
He's really funny!
We work on Rodeo Drive. But we're both professional dancers.
Really?
You're kidding!
No, I'm not! My mom taught me.
Your mom was a dancer?
She is a dancer! And a lovely one! You would like her very much! Shall we dance?
Sure.
How come you were in my truck?
I was tired and didn't have any place to go.
What's your name?
Pris.
Mine's J.F. Sebastian.
Hi.
You want to go home?
I don't have one.
Oh.
Where are your folks?
They left.
What about friends?
I have some, but I have to find out where they are staying.
We scared each other pretty good didn't we?
We sure did.
I'm hungry, J.F.
I've got stuff. If you wanna go to my place?
I was hoping you'd say that.
Whatcha doin'?
You scared me.
You look... better.
Just better.
Beautiful.
Thanks.
And you live in this building all by yourself?
Yeah, I live here pretty much alone right now...
Twenty.
What's your problem?
Methuselah Syndrome.
What's that?
My glands. They grow old too fast.
Is that why you're still here?
Yes. I couldn't pass the test.
Ah, you get hold of your friends?
As a matter of fact I did. They've got some work to do tonight, but they're gonna come tomorrow.
Good.
Sebastian doesn't like to go out too much.
I keep a lot of provisions right here.
What makes you think so?
You're all so perfect.
I kinda get nervous when I take tests.
Don't move.
Sorry.
Already had I.Q. test this year but I don't think I never had a...
Reaction time is a factor in this, so please pay attention. Answer quickly as you can.
You're in a desert, walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down and see a...
What one?
What?
What desert?
Doesn't make any difference what desert it's completely hypothetical.
But how come I'd be there?
Maybe you're fed up, maybe you want to be by yourself who knows. So you look down and see a tortoise. It's crawling towards you...
A tortoise. What's that?
Know what a turtle is?
Of course.
Same thing.
I never seen a turtle.
But I understand what you mean.
You reach down and flip the tortoise over on its back, Leon.
Whatcha mean, I'm not helping?
I mean you're not helping! Why is that, Leon?
Let's keep our eyes on the road, Deckard.
Sorry.
We're going to have to start the sequence again if you don't stay with me, Deckard. Concentrate.
How do you know I'm not?
You're not responding to the stimulus. I can see right here, I'm not getting a reading.
I'm tired of this.
Almost through.
Thanks.
Black?
Please.
Is this to be an empathy test?
Yes.
Capillary dilation of the socalled blush response? Plus fluctuation of the pupil, plus involuntary dilation of the iris?
May I ask a personal question?
Go ahead.
Have you ever retired a human by mistake?
No.
But in your profession that is a risk.
Nothing is infallible, but so far the VoightKampff scale bas been foolproof.
Like you said, Mr. Deckard, a machine can be a hazard. The VoightKampff scale is a machine, isn't it?
One that relies on human interpretation. Where's the subject?
Sitting next to you.
Well?
If she is, the machine works.
The machine works. She is.
