Roy Batty
Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a slave.

Roy Batty
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

Tyrell
I'm surprised you didn't come here sooner.
Roy
It's not an easy thing to meet your maker.
Tyrell
What can he do for you?
Roy
Can the maker repair what he makes?
Tyrell
Would you like to be modified?
Roy
I had in mind something a little more radical.
Tyrell
What seems to be the problem?
Roy
Death.
Tyrell
Death. Well, I'm afraid that's a little out of my jurisdiction, you...
Roy
I want more life, ****er/father.
Tyrell
The facts of life: To make an alteration in the evolvement of an organic life system is fatal. A coding sequence cannot be revised once its been established.
Roy
Why not?
Tyrell
Because by the second day of incubation, any cells that have undergone reversion mutations give rise to revertant colonies like rats leaving a sinking ship; then the ship sinks.
Roy
What about EMS recombination?
Tyrell
We've already tried it. Ethyl methane sulfonate is an alkylating agent and a potent mutagen. It created a virus so lethal the subject was dead before he left the table.
Roy
Then a repressor protein that blocks the operating cells.
Tyrell
Wouldn't obstruct replication, but it does give rise to an error in replication so that the newly formed DNA strand carries a mutation and you've got a virus again. But this - all of this is academic. You were made as well as we could make you.
Roy
But not to last.
Tyrell
The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long, and you have burned so very very brightly, Roy. Look at you. You're the prodigal son. You're quite a prize!
Roy
I've done questionable things.
Tyrell
Also extraordinary things. Revel in your time!
Roy
Nothing the god of biomechanics wouldn't let you into heaven for.
Batty
Yes! [smiles] Questions... Morphology? Longevity? Incept dates?
Chew
Don't know, I don't know such stuff. I just do eyes, juh, juh... just eyes... just genetic design, just eyes. You Nexus, huh? I design your eyes.
Batty
Chew, if only you could see what I have seen with your eyes.
Roy
[taunting Deckard with a counting rhyme]
Six! Seven! Go to Hell or go to Heaven!
Deckard
[Deckard beats Roy on the side of the head with a lead pipe]
GO TO HELL!
Roy
Good! That's the spirit!
J. F. Sebastian
There's some of me in you. Show me something.
Roy Batty
Like what?
J. F. Sebastian
Anything.
Roy Batty
We're not computers, Sebastian. We're physical.
Pris
I think, Sebastian. Therefore I am.
Roy Batty
We've got a lot in common.
J. F. Sebastian
What do you mean?
Roy Batty
Similar problems.
Pris
Accelerated decrepitude.
