The Scream: Androids feel the same way that this creature does in the painting. The silent scream is painful to look at, but symbolic in the way that humans don't really hear the androids scream because they won't listen. Androids want to fit in; not be hunted.
Puberty: I would think that Luba Luft admires this painting because it represents a part of a female's life that she never exprerienced. She also has a great appreciation of art in all forms (at least that's what I think.)
Rick and Phil go to the opera house to find that Luba has left. She told the stagehand that she was going to the museum so the two bounty hunters check it out. They find her there and capture her. She mouths off to Phil, telling him that he is no more human than she, and he gets angry and retires her.
Also, in this chapter, Phil starts to think that he really is an andy and asks Rick some questions about the normal activities of an android. He tells Rick that he has a squirrel that he loves. Phil is a very sweet guy: he reminds me a lot of Isidore. He offers Rick his squirrel if the test proves that he is an andy. However, the test proves he is NOT an andy.
Rick finds out in this chapter that he is attracted to female andys and then Phil says some disturbing things: sleep with the android, and then kill her/it. A little sexist if I do say so myself...
