ABSTRACT

Reproduction. Sex. Love. The simple things. But no way to satisfy them. To be homesick with no place to go. Lots of little oversights.1

Roy Batty, unused scene in Blade Runner.

We began to recognize in them a strange obsession. After all, they are emotionally inexperienced with only a few years in which to store up the experiences which you and I take for granted. If we gift them the past, we create a cushion or a pillow for their emotions and consequently we can control them better. 2

Eldon Tyrell, Blade Runner.
