Come on, Deckard. I'm right here, but you've gotta shoot straight.

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker tells Deckard that he is within reach and challenges him to shoot straight. The apparent invitation also works as a taunt, reducing the task to simple accuracy. Its defiance comes from naming the danger directly rather than asking to escape it.
