No comments on the meaning? I think there is a story to replicas but I don't know it. I assume "they didn't have names" would imply that they are clones/robots, essentially replicas. He tries to talk to them, maybe he was desperate.. thinking /maybe/ they'd have something, but they didn't even try. He cries to people in the crowd but they don't know who he's referring to because they're all the same.. I'm trying to figure out the police line, not sure.. It's not completely out there, any ideas?
