In the movie “Blade Runner” the Harrison Ford character, Rick Deckard, is supposed to terminate the Rutger Hauer character, Roy Batty, who is a non-human “replicant."
In spite of the fact that Deckard was sent to kill him, Batty saves Deckard’s life just before he himself dies. Batty delivers these lines in a heavy downpour:
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 Tannhåuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
Now that is what I call a death soliloquy. Those last two lines were not in the original script. They were added by Rutger Hauer. Mr. Hauer died yesterday.
