Bryant: "I've got four skin jobs walking the streets."..."They jumped a shuttle off world, killed the crew and passengers." Deckard (voice-over): "Skin jobs, that's what Bryant called replicants. In history books he was the kind of cop that used to call black men niggers."
Bryant: "Now there's a Nexus 6 over at the Tyrell Corporation. I want you to go put the machine on it."

Deckard: "I'm going to ask you a series of questions. Just relax and answer them as simply as you can."... Deckard: "You're reading a magazine. You come across a full-page nude photo of a girl." Rachael: "Is this testing whether I'm a replicant or a lesbian, Mr. Deckard?"...
Deckard (to Tyrell at the end of the test): "She's a replicant, isn't she?"

Rachael and Deckard
Rachael: "You think I'm a replicant, don't you?" Deckard: "Yeah." Deckard (voice-over): "Tyrell really did a job on Rachael. Right down to a snapshot of a mother she never had, a daughter she never was. Replicants weren't supposed to have feelings. Neither were blade runners. Rachael: "You know that Voight-Kampf test of yours? Did you ever take that test yourself? Deckard?"

Roy and Deckard
Deckard (voice-over): "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."
