I found the scene with Luba Luft to be very interesting. Rick and Phil go back to the opera house to find Luba Luft. When they get there, someone tells them the rehearsal has ended and that Luba had left. They find out that she is at the museum. Eventually, Rick and Phil find Luba and they confront her. Luba is very hesitant and realizes quickly that these men are bounty hunters. However, she does not resist them very much. Luba does not want to make a scene in front of everybody in the museum. While Rick and Phil are leading Luba outside, she starts talking about how impressed she is by humans and their sympathy. She mentions that ever since she has been on earth, her life as consisted of imitating humans. Luba then says something about Phil being an android and he loses it. Phil wants to kill Luba, but Rick stops him. He tells Phil that they must run a test before they retire her, however Phil does not listen and he shoots Luba. I found this part interesting because it shows the difference between Phil and Rick. Phil is ruthless and feels no remorse, while Rick feel empathy for Luba. Rick did not want to kill her. He didn't think there was a point to doing that. Phil enjoys killing androids, while Rick only does it because it is a means to an end. Rick thought Luba was a superb singer and he didn't understand how she would ever be a threat to society. Pretty much, Phil and Rick are two completely different people who happen to be in the same business. Rick questions himself, while Phil just kills without any emotions.
Why was it such a big deal that Rick spent twenty-five dollars to buy a book for Luba Luft?
