Quote #7
TYRELL: I'm surprised you didn't come here sooner.
ROY: It's not an easy thing to meet your maker.
TYRELL: What can he do for you?
ROY: Can the maker repair what he makes?
Tyrell can't repair Roy and extend his lifespan to a normal human length: he's a deeply flawed creator. In this case, his creation (Roy) rebels against him and kills him in retribution. The replicant technology created by Tyrell has stopped being technology and has gone out of his control—the replicants have transcended their slave-like status and demonstrated that they're real people, more or less.
