Roy Batty’s last words
“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion
I’ve watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain.”
In Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? the name is Roy Baty and this is his death scene.
“He shot Roy Baty; the big man’s corpse lashed about, toppled like an overstacked collection of separate, brittle entities; it smashed into the kitchen table and carried dishes and flatware down with it. Reflex circuits in the corpse made it twitch and flutter, but it had died…”
The wonders of film adaptation.

Rumor has it that Rutger Hauer wrote the line himself. It isnt in the script. He didnt like how Roy Batty ended so he suggested the line to Ridley Scott.
