I heard the "tears in rain" part was ad-libbed, but it fit so well
they kept it.

I guess that helps ^_^
It's strange, 'cause I only recently saw the movie for the first time
(don't shoot me!!), and I never would have guessed it was made 25
years ago. And it didn't even seem like a movie. It was
just...awesome. I couldn't imagine the moviemakers doing anything
differently with it if they'd made it today. It's just wonderful as
is.
