Favourite Quotes and Scenes:
There are a number of scenes that stand out including the following:
- Deckard giving the Voight-Kamph test to Rachael. The owl flying across the room against the sunset is spectacular and the questions and answers are fairly humourous.
- The confrontation between Batty & Leon and Chew
- When Roy is breaking Deckard's fingers. You can just feel the pain!
- The Roy Batty scene on the roof when he's standing in the rain and releases the dove
Some of our favourite quotes:
- Leon (to Holden)
"Let me tell you about my mother."
- Roy Batty (in Chew's building)
"Chew, if only you could see what I've seen with your eyes."
- Leon (during fight with Deckard)
"Painful to live in fear, isn't it? Nothing is worse than having an itch you can't scratch."
Deckard "Oh, I agree."
Leon "Wake up! Time to die."
- Roy
"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 Tannhaüser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain. Time to die."
