[ Deckard calls Rachael on a public videophone. "555-7583" ]

Rachael: Hello?

Deckard: I've had people walk out on me before, but not when I was being so charming. I'm at a bar here now down at the fourth sector. Taffey Lewis is on the line. Why don't you come on down here and have a drink?

Rachael: I don't think so, Mr. Deckard. That's not my kind of place.

Deckard: Go someplace else?
