It's crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. 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?

Blade Runner Dialogue...
Holden: Know what a turtle is?
Leon: Of course.
Holden: Same thing.
Leon: I've never seen a turtle. (pause) But I understand what you mean.
Holden: You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back Leon.
Leon: Do you make up these questions, Mr. Holden, or do they write them down for you?
Holden: 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.
Leon: What do you mean I'm not helping?
Holden: I mean, you're not helping. Why is that Leon? (pause) They're just questions, Leon. In answer to your query, they're written down for me. It's a test, designed to provoke an emotional response. (pause) Shall we continue? Describe in single words, only the good things that come in to your mind about: your mother.
Leon: My mother?
Holden: Yeah.

Because the other side of the tortoise was burning up in the hot sun and you flipped it over for a minute to cool it off. In a few minutes you'll flip it back over and follow it out of the desert. It'll guide you to water.

Because you're not actually in the Desert. You just ate too many Insanity Peppers and you're actually just wandering around the Springfield Golf Course and in particular are probably caught in the sand trap.

Because you're delusional from lack of food and water.
And I would never do that to a tortoise. I like them.

Because you need the tasty turtle meat to live yourself?
