Rutger Hauer credited as playing...
Batty
- 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.
- 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: 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.
- 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 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.
