Blade Runner Quote

[Maxamus]

Im after a quote from Blade Runner (which happens in narration). Its a few lines and i've seen it mentioned on this forum but now cant find the "quotes" thread. Its one of those deep quotes. It reminds me of the Playstation advert which goes something like this:

For years, I've lived a double life.
In the day, I do my job -
I roll up my sleeves with the hoi polloi.
But at night, I live a life of exhilaration,
of missed heartbeats and adrenalin.
And, if the truth be known, a life of dubious virtue.
I won't deny it - I've been engaged in violence, even indulged in it.
I've maimed and killed adversaries - and not merely in self-defence.
I've exhibited disregard for life, limb and property,
and savoured every moment.
You may not think it, to look at me,
but I have commanded armies and conquered worlds.
And though in achieving these things I've set morality aside,
I have no regrets.
For though I’ve led a double life, at least I can say:
I've lived.

Anyone know what im talking about?

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.

I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life, anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.

And EVERYBODY goes on about how it's the best thing ever, despite being a slightly cringeworthy moment in a mediocre film. Grrrr.

Ridley Scott should have stuck to Hovis ads (and Rutger Hauer should have stuck to Guinness ads).

Ah, each to their own. Film does it for me. Hardly mediocre in my opinion.
