HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ROY BATTY!

“I want more life, fucker.”

“Tears in Rain” is a soliloquy of the Ridley Scott film Blade Runner, delivered by the replicant Roy Batty, portrayed by Rutger Hauer. The final form, altered from the scripted lines and much improvised by Hauer on the eve of filming, has entered popular culture as “perhaps the most moving death soliloquy in cinematic history”and is an often quoted piece of science fiction writing.
