Tears in 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 Tannhauser Gate... All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

The best dying words spoken in cinema. Perhaps some of the most moving words spoken anywhere. A replicant (robot, oh the irony) sums up the human condition--the briefness and frailty--in a searing few short sentences.

If you haven't seen the full movie (Bladerunner), I suggest you do.
