Quotes
-
Batty : I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die.
-
Batty : Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a slave.
-
Tyrell : [Tyrell explains to Roy why he can't extend his lifespan] 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 it's been established.
Batty : Why not?
Tyrell : Because by the second day of incubation, any cells that have undergone reversion mutation give rise to revertant colonies, like rats leaving a sinking ship; then the ship... sinks.
Batty : What about EMS-3 recombination?
Tyrell : We've already tried it - ethyl, methane, sulfinate as an alkylating agent and potent mutagen; it created a virus so lethal the subject was dead before it even left the table.
Batty : Then a repressor protein, that would block 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 with it 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.
Batty : 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!
Batty : I've done... questionable things.
Tyrell : Also extraordinary things; revel in your time.
Batty : Nothing the God of biomechanics wouldn't let you into heaven for.
-
Batty : Fiery the angels fell. Deep thunder rolled around their shores; burning with the fires of Orc.
-
Batty : Yes!
[smiles]
Batty : Questions... Morphology? Longevity? Incept dates?
Hannibal Chew : Don't know, I don't know such stuff. I just do eyes, ju-, ju-, just eyes... just genetic design, just eyes. You Nexus, huh? I design your eyes.
Batty : Chew, if only you could see what I've seen with your eyes!
-
Batty : Not very sporting to fire on an unarmed opponent. I thought you were supposed to be good. Aren't you the "good" man? C'mon, Deckard. Show me what you're made of.

[Batty wants Tyrell to extend his lifespan]
Tyrell : Would you... like to be upgraded?
Batty : I had in mind something a little more radical.
Tyrell : What... what seems to be the problem?
Batty : Death.
Tyrell : Death; ah, well that's a little out of my jurisdiction. You...
Batty : *I want more life, fucker/father!* (IMDb Editor's note: see trivia section for details)
-
Batty : Gosh, you've... really got some nice toys here.
-
Roy : [grabbing Sebastian] If we don't find help soon, Pris hasn't got long to live. We can't allow that.
[Roy goes to the chess board, studying the game in progress]
Roy : Is he good?
J.F. Sebastian : Who?
Roy : Your opponent.
J.F. Sebastian : Oh, Dr. Tyrell? I've only beaten him once in chess. He's a genius! He designed you.
Roy : Maybe he could help.
J.F. Sebastian : I'd be happy to mention it to him.
Roy : [smiles and puts his hand on Sebastian's shoulder] Better if I talk to him in person. But I understand he's a sort of hard man to get to.
[Pris wraps her legs and arms around Sebastian]
J.F. Sebastian : Yes.
Roy : Will you help us?
J.F. Sebastian : I can't.
Pris : We need you, Sebastian. You're our best and only friend.

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

Batty : We're not computers, Sebastian, we're physical.

[Batty has grabbed Deckard's gun hand and pulled it, along with the gun, through a hole in the wall]
Batty : Proud of yourself, little man?
[Batty takes the gun out of Deckard's hand]
Batty : This is for Zhora!
[Batty breaks one of Deckard's fingers]
Batty : This is for Pris!
[Batty breaks another one of Deckard's fingers, puts the gun back into his hand and lets him go]
Batty : C'mon, Deckard. I'm right here, but you've gotta shoot straight!
[Deckard shoots through the hole in the wall and blows one of Batty's ears off]
Batty : Straight doesn't seem to be good enough! Now it's my turn! I'm going to give you a few seconds before I come. One, two. - Three, four.
-
Batty : You'd better get it up, or I'm gonna have to kill you!
-
Batty : Time... enough.
-
Batty : That was irrational of you... not to mention unsportsmanlike.
-
Roy : That's the spirit!
-
Roy : Why are you staring at us Sebastian?
J.F. Sebastian : Because. You're so different. You're so perfect.
-
Batty : Four. Five. How to stay alive?
-
Batty : Six! Seven! Go to hell, or go to heaven!
-
Batty : Pris...
