Question: When Roy and Leon are trying to get answers out of Chew, why does Leon start rubbing eyeballs on Chew's neck and head? (00:30:45)
Answer: Eyes are a major theme in the film and Chew created artificial eyes, one of which is placed on his shoulder as a strange and threatening token of his handiwork.
Answer: In addition, they just ripped Chew's big fluffy coat off him and are placing eyes that have been stored in below-zero coolant on him. Leon was likely using the freezing cold to further put Chew on edge, implying he is completely helpless and at their mercy.

Chosen answer: "Purge" is another word for "liftoff". It also means "to purge", as in to expel something, in this case the engine fuel necessary to raise the cop car into the air.
