Blade Runner 2049 Quotes

Rick Deckard: I had your job once. I was good at it.

'K': Things were simpler then.

Rick Deckard: Why you makin' it complicated?

'K': Why don't you just answer the question?

Rick Deckard: What question?

'K': I didn't figure you as one for bullshit. What's her name?

Rick Deckard: Rachael. Her name was Rachael.

'K': This is really somethin'

Rick Deckard: The whole town was somethin'. One time. Forget your troubles, see a show, gamble a little. Win some money, lose some money. They made money seem like candy.

[from trailer]

'K': This is impossible.

Rick Deckard: Were are we going?

Luv: Home.

Rick Deckard: What'd you do? Who'd you bring? Huh?

'K': No one.

Rick Deckard: Oh yeah? They know you're here!

'K': I found him.

Lieutenant Joshi: That's not possible.

'K': [to Joi] They'll be coming after me soon.

Joi: I'm coming with you.

Rick Deckard: What's the plan?

'K': We don't run.

'K': She likes him

Luv: Who?

'K': This officer Deckard. She's trying to provoke him.

[pause]

Luv: Do you enjoy your work, officer?

'K': ['K' gives her a look] Please thank Mr. Wallace for your time.

Freysa: That baby meant we are more than just slaves. If a baby can come from one of us, we are our own masters.

Mariette: "More human than humans."

Freysa: A revolution is coming.

'K': [pointing at dog] Is it real?

Rick Deckard: I don't know. Ask him.

[last lines]

Dr. Ana Stelline: Beautiful, isn't it?

Dr. Ana Stelline: [crying] Someone lived this, yeah. It happened.

[pause]

'K': I know it's real.

[pause]

'K': I know it's real.

[pause]

'K': GODDAMN IT!

[throws chair]

Joi: Mere data makes a man. A and C and T and G. The alphabet of you. All from four symbols. I am only two: 1 and 0.

'K': Half as much but twice as elegant, sweetheart.

Joi: I'm done with you. You can go now.

Mariette: Quiet, now. I've been inside you. Not so much there as you think.

'K': You worked with Officer Deckard, back in the day. What can you tell me about him?

Gaff: He liked to work alone. So did I. So we worked together to keep it that way, and that was it.

Rick Deckard: Got a name?

'K': Officer KD6-3...

Rick Deckard: [interrupting] That's not a name. It's a serial number.

'K': All right. *Joe.*

Luv: I'm here for Mr. Wallace. I'm Luv.

'K': He named you. You must be special.

Luv: ...I'm here for Mr. Wallace. Please come with me.

'K': I've never retired something that was born before.

Lieutenant Joshi: What's the difference?

'K': To be born is to have a soul, I guess.

Lieutenant Joshi: Are you telling me no?

'K': I wasn't aware there was an option, madame.

Lieutenant Joshi: Attaboy.

[K walks to the door]

Lieutenant Joshi: Hey! You've been getting on fine without one.

'K': What's that, madame?

Lieutenant Joshi: A soul.

Joi: I'm so happy when I'm with you.

'K': You don't have to say that.

[first lines]

'K': I hope you don't mind me taking the liberty. I was careful not to drag in... any dirt.

Rick Deckard: I like this song. We could keep at this or we could get a drink.

[pause]

'K': I'll take the drink.

Luv: I see you're one of our clients. I hope you're satisfied with our product.

'K': She's very... realistic. Thank you.

Joi: [to Luv] Stop!

[Luv's foot hovers over Joi's Emanator]

Luv: [to Joi] I do hope that you're satisfied with our product.

[referring to K]

Luv: You tiny thing. In the face of the fabulous new your only thought is to kill it? For fear of great change? You can't hold the tide with a broom.

Lieutenant Joshi: Except that I did.

Luv: [yells] *Where is he?* You're so sure. Because he told you. Because we never lie. I'm going to tell Mr Wallace you tried to shoot me first. So I had to kill you.

Lieutenant Joshi: [remains defiant, her last words:] Just do what it is you came here for.

[Luv proceeds to stab her to death]

Mariette: What's that?

'K': A tree.

Mariette: I've never seen a tree. It's pretty.

'K': It's dead.

Mariette: Now, who keeps a dead tree?

[pause]

Mariette: You're not gonna kill me, are you?

Lt. Joshi: She was a replicant. Pregnant.

[pause]

Lt. Joshi: This breaks the world K. Do you know what that means?

K: If this gets broke, that's it. You're gone.

Joi: Like a real girl.

Rick Deckard: You mightn't happen to have a piece of cheese about you, now? Would you boy?

'K': "Treasure Island"?

Rick Deckard: He reads, that's good. Me too, not much else to do around here at night anymore. Many is the night I dream of cheese. Toasted, mostly. What are you doing here?

'K': I heard the piano.

Rick Deckard: Don't lie, it's rude. You're a cop.

'K': I'm not here to take you in.

Rick Deckard: Oh yeah? Then what?

'K': I just have some questions.

Rick Deckard: What questions?

Rick Deckard: Why? What am I to you?

'K': [smiles at him] Go meet your daughter.

'K': [K has just returned home to his apartment] You were right. You were right about everything.

Joi: Shh...

Mariette: [door opens behind K and Mariette enters] Thought you weren't interested working man.

Joi: You liked her I could tell. It's ok, she's real. I want to be real for you.

'K': You are real for me.

Mariette: You have a special lady here.

[long silence]

Mariette: Ok, lets do it.

Niander Wallace: Is it the same now, as then? The moment you met her. All these years, drunk on the memory of its perfection. How shiny her lips. How instant your connection. Did it never occur to you that is why you were summoned in the first place? Designed to do nothing short of fall for her then and there? All to make that single perfect specimen. That is, if you were designed. Love, or mathematical precision? Yes? No?

Rick Deckard: I know what's real.

Interviewer: [Baseline test room at LAPD HQ] Officer K-D-six-dash-three-dot-seven, let's begin. Ready?

'K': Yes, sir.

Interviewer: Recite your baseline.

'K': And blood-black nothingness began to spin... A system of cells interlinked within cells interlinked within cells interlinked within one stem... And dreadfully distinct against the dark, a tall white fountain played.

Title Card: Replicants are bioengineered humans, designed by Tyrell Corporation for use off-world. Their enhanced strength made them ideal slave labor.

Title Card: After a series of violent rebellions, their manufacture became prohibited and Tyrell Corp went bankrupt.

Title Card: The collapse of ecosystems in the mid 2020s led to the rise of industrialist Niander Wallace, whose mastery of synthetic farming averted famine.

Title Card: Wallace acquired the remains of Tyrell Corp and created a new line of replicants who obey.

Title Card: Many older model replicants - Nexus 8s with open-ended lifespans - survived. They are hunted down and 'retired'

Title Card: Those that hunt them still go by the name... Blade Runner.

Lieutenant Joshi: [over video-link] You're hurt. I'm not paying for that.

'K': I'll glue it.

Niander Wallace: That barren pasture. Empty, and salted. The dead space between the stars.

Niander Wallace: [He places his hand on the newborn Replicant's womb] Right here.

Niander Wallace: And this is the seed that we must change for Heaven.

[He slices her womb]

Niander Wallace: I cannot breed them. So help me, I have tried. We need more Replicants than can ever be assembled. Millions, so we can be trillions more. We could storm Eden and retake her.

Gaff: [talking about young Deckard] He wasn't long for this world.

'K': How so?

Gaff: Something in his eyes.

[Luv is directing a drone strike]

Luv: [speaking without emotion] Fire again. Fire again. Fire. Two hundred feet to the east. Fire. Go north.

[camera pans, revealing she is having her nails done while doing this]

Luv: Fire. Stop. Twenty degrees east. Stop. Zoom in. Closer.

Luv: [sees K is down, says to herself with emotion] Oh, come on. Get up. Do your fucking job. Find the child.

Mister Cotton: So come on now. Which sort do you have in mind?

[blows whistle, children all jump up from their work and stand with their heads bowed]

Mister Cotton: Cause I got... all kinds.

'K': You want it gone?

Lieutenant Joshi: Erase everything.

[a recording of Deckard giving Rachael the Voight-Kampff test, as shown in the original film]

Rick Deckard: You're reading a magazine and 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?

Rick Deckard: Just answer the question, please.

Luv: Too dark in here. I like him. He's a good boy. Where is he?

Lieutenant Joshi: I've no idea. He's off-duty. Check around.

Luv: I checked - anywhere a good boy might go.

'K': Why are you so good? What makes your memories so authentic?

Dr. Ana Stelline: Well, there's a bit of every artist in their work. But, I was locked in this sterile chamber at eight; so, if I wanted to see the world, I had to imagine it. I got very good at imagining.

Lieutenant Joshi: Do you remember anything? Before you were under me? Do you have any memories from before?

'K': I have memories but they're not real. They're just implants.

Lieutenant Joshi: Tell me one. From when you were a kid.

'K': I feel a little strange sharing a childhood story considering I was never a child.

Lieutenant Joshi: Well, would it help you share if I told you it was an order?

Joi: Would you read to me?

[gets up, crosses to table, 'picks up' Nabokov's Pale Fire]

Joi: It'll make you feel better.

'K': You hate that book.

Joi: [throws virtual book over her shoulder] I don't wanna read either.

Joi: What's the occasion?

'K': Let's just say, it's our anniversary.

Joi: Is it?

'K': No. But - let's just say that it is. Okay?

[opens box]

'K': Happy anniversary.
