"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's dying speech in the rain
"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 Tanhauser Gate. All these moments will be lost in time. Like tears in rain. Time to die."
After Rutger Hauer (Batty) delivered his final soliloquy, the surrounding crew applauded and a few even cried. It wasn't just the replicant's final poignant words that stirred them. Finishing the rain-sodden scene marked the end of an arduous shoot. The exhaustion on Harrison Ford's face as he watches his man-made adversary's demise isn't just acting. He was knackered. Originally Hauer's speech was much longer but the actor persuaded Scott to cut the dialogue saving the audience another protracted death scene. "His batteries are going. He has no time to say good-bye, except maybe to briefly talk about things he'd seen. 'Life is short' - boom!"
With Scott's permission he cut out the beginning and improvised the last lines. Although Hauer crafted the speech to suit himself, he paid tribute to screenwriter David Peoples for doing 'a really beautiful job'. "I loved those images he came up with - 'c-beams glittering near the Tanhauser gate, attack ships off the shoulder of Orion'. I thought they were really interesting, even if you didn't understand them."
