Tears in rain monologue Tears in rain monologue "Tears in rain" (also known as the "C-Beams Speech") is a monologue delivered by character Roy Batty (portrayed by Rutger Hauer) in the 1982 Ridley Scott film "Blade Runner". Altered by Hauer from the scripted lines the night before filming, the monologue is frequently quoted; critic Mark Rowlands described it as "perhaps the most moving death soliloquy in cinematic history". The speech appears as the last track on the film's soundtrack album. The dying replicant Roy Batty delivers the speech to Rick Deckard, moments after Batty saved his life despite Deckard being sent to terminate him.
