Tyrell:
[Tyrell explains to Roy why he can't extend his lifespan]
The facts of life... to make an alteration in the evolvement of an organic life system is fatal. A coding sequence cannot be revised once it's been established.
Batty:
Why not?
Tyrell:
Because by the second day of incubation, any cells that have undergone reversion mutation give rise to revertant colonies, like rats leaving a sinking ship; then the ship... sinks.
Batty:
What about EMS-3 recombination?
Tyrell:
We've already tried it - ethyl, methane, sulfinate as an alkylating agent and potent mutagen; it created a virus so lethal the subject was dead before it even left the table.
Batty:
Then a repressor protein, that would block the operating cells.
Tyrell:
Wouldn't obstruct replication; but it does give rise to an error in replication, so that the newly formed DNA strand carries with it a mutation - and you've got a virus again... but this, all of this is academic. You were made as well as we could make you.
Batty:
But not to last.
Tyrell:
The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long - and you have burned so very, very brightly, Roy. Look at you: you're the Prodigal Son; you're quite a prize!
Batty:
I've done... questionable things.
Tyrell:
Also extraordinary things; revel in your time.
Batty:
Nothing the God of biomechanics wouldn't let you into heaven for.
