Bladerunner questions about tortoise: Blade Runner (1982) - Brion James as Leon - IMDb
(Edited version of quotes, but without Leon interrupting:)
You’re in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down and see a tortoise. It’s crawling toward you. You reach down and you flip the tortoise over on its back, [their name].
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. Why is that, [their name]?
(It’d also be funny to do the “baseline test from Blade Runner 2049”)
