DEBBIE: OK. I'm adding 3 points back onto your score for getting Hollie back in the picture. It's late but you beat the buzzer and that all that really counts.
CARLOS: Co I can come out of the doghouse now?
DEBBIE: Maybe tomorrow. Things are changing pretty rapidly. We'll see.

"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 those moments will be lost in time...like tears in rain. Time to die."— Roy Batty
Rutger Hauer died at age 75. The speech only lasts about 50 seconds, but Hauer's introspective performance and Scott's gorgeous close-up work are in such perfect harmony it's no wonder why the "tears in rain" monologue became one of the defining moments of both "Blade Runner" and Hauer's career. In an interview with Radio Times back in 2017, shortly before the release of "Blade Runner 2049," Hauer looked back on the iconic monologue and revealed he "took a knife" to the original script and rewrote his character's dialogue.
"I kept two lines, because I thought they were poetic," Hauer said. "I thought they belonged to this character, because somewhere in his digital head he has poetry, and knows what it is. He feels it! And while his batteries are going, he comes up with the two lines."
The two lines Hauer kept from the original draft of the speech were "attack ships" and "C-beams." Hauer believed the original speech was written in a way that was too operatic, a tone he felt a replicant would never use.

Hauer credited Scott with giving his actors the freedom to change things up based on how the actors were interpreting the characters. "Ridley gave me all the freedom, because he wanted it to be a character-driven story," the actor said. "He'd never done a film character-driven. He said, 'This is what I want to do – bring me anything you can come up with, and I'll take it on if I like it.'"

If you unsubscribe, all these moments will be lost in time...like tears down the drain.
Have you ever cried in the shower, unwilling to show your pain?
When it all seems lost and nothing to gain.
Maybe you cannot let it go, but it doesn't have to define your future.
You are more than your pain. Find your hope and move forward.
We are all here for you. When you find your way, you may be there for us.

If you manage to time it right, the corn chowder is amazingly great. It's only for a short season so if it's on the menu—order it. You can thank me later.
