He used to love the movies, 10,000 years ago. Back when they showed all-
nighters at the Vista in Hollywood, back when he was learning the criteria for
being dead. He doesn't go anymore, but the witches still do. It's a diversion
from their freakish, epic activities---sort of like safe-sex dreaming. But not
really.
"You know, there's a scene in Blade Runner that really got to us. The writer
doesn't know what he's saying, but he hit something. The replicant is talking at
the end: 'My eyes have seen inconceivable things.' He's talking about the
constellations---'I have seen attack ships off of Orion'---nonsense, inanities.
That was the only flaw for us, because the writer hasn't seen anything. But
then the speech becomes beautiful. It's raining and the replicant says, 'What if
all those moments will be lost in time . . .like tears in the rain?'
"This is a very serious question for us. They may be just tears in the rain---
yes. But you do your best, sir. You do your best and if your best isn't good
enough, then *** it. If your best isn't good enough, *** God himself."--------------------
Give me Freedom or give me Death
