Spoiler!

The "lock and key" quote. I think this could be Leto talking about Deckard and how he needs him because he's the key to advanced replicants or something. And the "I've found him" and "that's not possible" quote. I assumed this is because they figure Deckard should be dead because he's past his expiry date.

Spoiler!

Given how the two central issues with Blade Runner -replicants are
1) Short life spans (explored primarily through the escaped replicants)
2) an identity crisis because they don't have a unique personal history, which is a defining issue of personality (explored primarily through Deckard and Rachel)

...the possibility that they've made Deckard a unique all-important snowflake with a human-like lifespan doesn't do anything to raise my expectations for the film.
