Ed Driscoll guest blogs at
Instapundit, where he proves he is a
Blade Runner fanboy. He posts the following intro to a supremely ugly photo of Hillary from the
Drudge Report, headed "Love will save the day."
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.
If you don't recognize it, those are the first three sentences of the
tears in rain soliloquy from the 1982 film
Blade Runner. The rest of the quote is this:
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears...in...rain. Time to die.
These five sentences are spoken by Dutch actor
Rutger Hauer in the role of dying replicant (android) Roy Blatty, to Harrison Ford playing Deckard, a retirement "counselor." It is arguably the most famous set-piece speech in science fiction film.
