(Replica, 2011)
“So I left the TV sound off and I sat down at my mood organ and I experimented. And I finally found a setting for despair. So I put it on my schedule for twice a month; I think that’s a reasonable amount of time to feel hopeless about everything.”

Vangelis, Rachael’s Song
(Blade Runner Soundtrack, 1982)
“Remember when you were six? You and your brother snuck into an empty building through a basement window. You were going to play doctor. He showed you his, but when it got to be your turn you chickened and ran; you remember that? You ever tell anybody that? Remember the spider that lived outside your window? Orange body, green legs. Watched her build a web all summer, then one day there’s a big egg in it. The egg hatched…”
The egg hatched.
“Yeah…”
And a hundred baby spiders came out. And they ate her.
