FADE IN:
EXT. HADES - DUSK
We are MOVING TOWARD the Tyrell Corporation across a
vast plain of industrialization, menacing shapes on the
horizon, stacks belching flames five hundred feet into
the sky the color of cigar ash. The CAMERA MOVES INTO
a window in the large pyramid-shaped building. A man
is sitting at a table. Another man enters the room and
sits down. The following scene is reflected in the eye
until HOLDEN is seated.
INT. TYRELL CORPORATION INTERROGATION ROOM - DUSK
The eye is magnified and deeply revealed. Flecks of
green and yellow in a field of milky blue. Icy fila-
ments surround the undulating center.
The eye is brown in a tiny screen. On the metallic
surface below, the words VOIGHT-KAMPFF are finely
etched. There's a touch-light panel across the top
and on the side of the screen, a dial that registers
fluctuation of the iris.
The instrument is no bigger than a music box and sits
on a table between two men. The man talking is big,
looks like an overstuffed kid. LEON it says on his
breast pocket. He's dressed in a warehouseman's uni-
form and his pudgy hands are folded expectantly in his
lap. Despite the obvious heat, he looks very cool.
The man facing him is lean, hollow-cheeked, and dressed
in grey. Detached and efficient, he looks like a cop
or an accountant. His name is Holden and he's all
business, except for the sweat on his face.
The room is large and humid. Rows of salvaged junk
are stacked neatly against the walls. Two large FANS
LEON:
Okay if I talk?
Holden doesn't answer. He's centering Leon's eye on
the machine.
LEON:
I kinda get nervous when I take
tests.
HOLDEN:
Don't move.
LEON:
Sorry.
He tries not to move, but finally his lips can't help
a sheepish smile.
LEON:
I already had I.Q. test this year...
but I don't think I never had a...
HOLDEN:
Reaction time is a factor in this so
please pay attention. Answer as quickly
as you can.
LEON:
Uh... sure...
HOLDEN:
One one eight seven at Hunterwasser...
LEON:
Oh... that's the hotel.
HOLDEN:
What?
LEON:
Where I live.
HOLDEN:
Nice place ?
LEON:
Huh? Sure. Yeah. I guess. Is
that.. part of the test ?
Holden smiles a patronising smile.
HOLDEN:
Warming you up, that's all.
LEON:
Oh.
It's
HOLDEN:
You're in a desert, walking along
in the sand when....
LEON:
Is this the test now ?
HOLDEN:
Yes. You're in a desert, walking
along in the sand when all of a sudden
you lookdown and see a.....
LEON:
What one ?
It was a timid interruption, hardly audible.
HOLDEN:
What ?
LEON:
What desert ?
HOLDEN:
Doesn't make any difference what
desert.. it's completely hypothetical.
LEON:
But how come I'd be there?
HOLDEN:
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 toward
you....
LEON:
A tortoise. What's that?
HOLDEN:
Know what a turtle is?
LEON:
Of course.
HOLDEN:
Same thing.
LEON:
I never seen a turtle.
He sees Holden's patience is wearing thin.
LEON:
But I understand what you mean.
HOLDEN:
You reach down and flip the
tortoise over on its back, Leon.
Keeping an eye on his subject, Holden notes the dials
in the Voight-Kampff. One of the needles quivers
slightly.
LEON:
You make these questions, Mr.
Holden, or they write 'em down
for you?
Disregarding the question, Holden continues, picking
up the pace.
HOLDEN:
The tortoise lays on its back,
its belly baking in the hot sun,
beating its legs trying to turn
itself over. But it can't. Not
without your help. But you're not
helping.
