Tom: Do you know what a turtle is? . . . same thing.

Well, sorta. Turtles are aquatic, tortoises are terrestrial. Perhaps Ahab is hinting at the presence of extraterrestrial tortoises somewhere out in the desert.

Larry these boyz are obviously playing off the movie Blade Runner. When Leone said, "tortoise, what's that?" The interrogator said, "You know what a turtle is Leone . . . . same thing."

I figured I'd play too.

What? Replicants have no feelings? I believe the correct answer is - Ignite a mesquite bush with one's laser vision and have an impromptu cookout.

folks, we're dealing w/ a replicant here.
day, please step aside and prepare to be shaved, de-loused and quarintined.

according to Patriot Act, Section I, Title XIII, you are to be armed and sent to an undisclosed location in the Middle East (Iraq), immediately. believe me when i say that this is for your own protection.

guys, that was a close one.

Thanks Caribe, somehow I've never seen Blade Runner, which is odd because I really like good Sci-Fi.

Larry, this is a PK Dick classic based on "do androids dream of electric sheep?" you need to see it. Hell I have the whole damn movie on my hard drive. I have two movies on my hard drive.
