A scene from Blade Runner 1982
Rachael

Do you like our owl?

Deckard

It's artificial?

Rachael

Of course it is.

Deckard

Must be expensive.

Rachael

Very. I'm Rachel.

Deckard

Deckard.

Rachael

It seems you feel our work is not a benefit to the public.

Deckard

Replicants are like any other machine: they're either a benefit or a hazard. If they're a benefit, it's not my problem.

Rachael

May I ask you a personal question?

Deckard

Sure.

Rachael

Have you ever retired a human by mistake?

Deckard

No.

Rachael

But in your position that is a risk...

Tyrell

[Offscreen]

Is this to be an empathy test?

Tyrell

[Tyrell appears at the other end of the room, walks towards the two]

Capillary dilation of the so-called blush response...fluctuation of the pupil...involuntary dilation of the iris.

Deckard

We call it Voight-Kampf for short.

Rachael

Mr. Deckard, Dr. Elden Tyrell.

Tyrell

Demonstrate it. I want to see it work.

Deckard

Where's the subject?

Tyrell

I want to see it work on a person. I want to see a negative before I provide you with a positive.

Deckard

What's that going to prove?

Tyrell

[Smiling]

Indulge me.

Deckard

On you?

Tyrell

[Nods at Rachael]

Try her.
