Tyrell: Because by the second day of incubation, any cells that have undergone reversion mutations give rise to revertant colonies like rats leaving a sinking ship. Then the ship sinks. |

Roy: What about EMS recombination. |
|
|
Tyrell: We've already tried it. Ethyl methane sulfonate as an alkylating agent - a potent mutagen. It created a virus so lethal the subject was dead before he left the table. |
|
|
Roy: Then a repressive protein that blocks 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 the mutation and you've got a virus again. But, uh, this - all of this is academic. You were made as well as we could make you. |
