Never mind the plug, just go through the motions.
But then how can you...
I don't like the noise. Just practice. Practice makes perfect.
This feels stupid.
Good for a smart girl to feel stupid. Part of your education.
You're sick, Deckard.
I never felt better.
Have you ever known anybody a long time?
You mean a woman?
Uhhuh.
What's a long time?
Ten years.
Nope. Nobody could stand me that long.
Why do you call it retire, why don't you call it murder?
Because it's not.
Don't you think anything that can suffer deserves to be considered?
Andies only simulate suffering if they're programmed for it.
Do you think I simulated what happened between us?
No, I don't.
Don't leave here. Don't open the door, don't answer the phone.
What difference will it make?
Just wait here.
You know what I think?
What?
That some of the folks around here are more programmed then me.
Yeah?
I'm with the American Federation of Variety Artists...
There's been reports of management sexually abusing the artists in this place.
I don't know nothing about it.
You haven't felt yourself to be exploited by the management in any way?
How do you mean 'exploited'?
Like to get this position. Did you or were you asked to do anything lewd or unsavory or otherwise repulsive to your person?
Are you for real?
Oh, yeah. You'd be surprised what goes on around here. I'd like to check the dressing room if I could.
What the fuck for?
For holes.
It that mother real?
Of course he's not real. You think I'd be working here if I could afford a real snake?
It's a good job.
You mean the snake.
The best.
Does it eat?
Come on.
Jeezus!
Sorry.
Hey! Do your job but don't wreck mine, huh?
You'd be surprised what a guy'll go through to get a glimpse of a beautiful body.
I bet I would.
Little dirty holes the bastards drill in the wall so they can watch a lady undress.
Me.
And who do I go to about you?
Taffey Lewis?
Yes?
Can I come in?
I'd like you to take a look at these pictures.
Of course.
You see I lost my contacts a couple of days ago around here somewhere and my sight is a little... What am I supposed to be looking for?
Do you recognize any of them?
This one looks familiar, but I don't know. Naw. There's one came in today looks a little like this one but...
What did she want?
Who?
The girl that doesn't look like that girl.
Nothing. She wanted to know about suck night.
What night?
I didn't know if I wanted to handle her I already got a snake act. But my partner goes down there to the Opera House on suck night to book the good ones.
What's suck night?
That's what we call in the trade, audition freefor alls and most of it sucks. Bit I don't think that's her.
You talking about the Opera House on the Main?
Book the good ones for where?
Lots of places. The tours, the clubs, the Silicone shows, private parties.
What shows?
Silicone Valley. Lots of these science guys never leave that place. We book two shows a month in there. Those big time techs and bio guys might be real high zoners up here, but when it comes to the arts, they like it loud and lewd.
Nerves of steel.
No rust?
I didn't say that. Your motivity rate checked out a little slower than last time.
Meaning?
Meaning you don't run as fast as you used to.
During the road test...
Yeah?
Your mind kept wandering. That bothered me.
Huh huh.
Considering the nature of your work, that could be unhealthy.
True.
But you haven't put in for emigration.
Nope.
You're going to be over the limit.
Listen, I could make you a long list of complaints about this fucken city but I still rather be here than up there.
What if you change your mind?
They'll change the limit before I change my mind.
You sure?
Never been more sure of anything in my life.
Why didn't you go?
Too old.
But if you could?
My job is here.
Me too.
I'm great. I mean, I know I'm not really great, but I feel just great. How you like my new suit?
Well, you don't have to worry about getting it wrinkled.
Don't make me laugh. It makes me pee.
Sorry.
