"I was quit when I came in here. I'm twice as quit now."

Deckard

"Replicants are like any other machine. They're either a benefit or a hazard. If they're a benefit, it's not my problem."

Deckard

"I'm Deckard. Blade Runner. Two sixty three-fifty four. I'm filed and monitored."

Deckard

"I don't get it Tyrell, how can it not know what it is?"

Deckard

"Memories, you're talking about memories."

Deckard
[Revealing to Rachael that her memories are fake, that the picture of her mother is fake and that of course, she's a Replicant]

"You ever tell anyone that? Your mother, Tyrell? They're implants. Those aren't your memories, they're somebody else's. They're Tyrell's niece's. OK, bad joke, I'm sorry... No, really, I made a bad joke. Go home, you're not a Replicant... (sigh) you wanna drink? I'll get you a drink."

Deckard

"I've had people walk out on me before, but not when I was being so charming."

Do you like our owl?

Deckard

It's artificial?

Of course it is.

Deckard

Must be expensive.

Very. I'm Rachel.

Deckard

Deckard.

It seems you feel our work is not a benefit to the public.

Deckard

Replicants are like any other machine: they're either a benefit or a hazard. If they're a benefit, it's not my problem.

May I ask you a personal question?

Deckard

Sure.

Have you ever retired a human by mistake?

Deckard

No.

But in your position that is a risk...

Tyrell
[Offscreen]

Is this to be an empathy test?

Tyrell
[Tyrell appears at the other end of the room, walks towards the two]

Capillary dilation of the so-called blush response...fluctuation of the pupil...involuntary dilation of the iris.

Deckard

We call it Voight-Kampf for short.

Mr. Deckard, Dr. Elden Tyrell.

Tyrell

Demonstrate it. I want to see it work.

Deckard

Where's the subject?

Tyrell

I want to see it work on a person. I want to see a negative before I provide you with a positive.

Deckard

What's that going to prove?

Tyrell
[Smiling]

Indulge me.

Deckard

On you?

Tyrell
[Nods at Rachael]

Try her.

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!

Deckard

Shakes? Me too. I get 'em bad. Part of the business.

I'm not in the business. I am the business.

You know those files on me? The incept date, the longevity, those things. You saw them?

Deckard

They're classified.

But you're a policeman.

Deckard

I didn't look at them.

You know that Voight-Kampff test of yours? Did you ever take that test yourself? Deckard? [Deckard is falling asleep]

I didn't know if I could play. I remember lessons. I don't know if it's me or Tyrell's niece.

Deckard

You play beautifully.
