weyland..."theres nothing"

"there's nothing" in terms of character development...is what he meant...Im sure

I completely forgot about this bit. I think you're right about the 'Lawrence...' reference. It also appears to be a nod to the inital question: why were we created? Weyland asks 'why?' instead he gets beaten down with the head of his pinnochio son. He realises that maybe the whole 'why' question is pointless? There really is nothing.

I immediately saw that as a callback to the Lawrence of Arabia line too, but was instantly bemused at how quick he managed to think that up when he was dying/probably in horrible pain! XD The pacing in this film... oy vey.

@the fall lmao yep

@thefall Nailed it!

Mobile board hiccups. Sorry for repost.

I think he's simply stating that there's nothing after death. As he's dying, and David is basically destroyed at that moment, he's conceding his motivation for long life, while explaining to David a fundamental point of human existence. Lights out, time to die.

There is also that line where David asks "why were androids created" or whatever he said... and the reply is "Because we could" There's nothing - ie: no answer to why we were created, at least no answer in which the creation would necessarily be happy about.

He died before he finished the sentence. He intended to say: "There's nothing left in this film for me. I'm gonna go back to 2015 so I can be Biff in Back to the Future 2"

When I heard him say "there's nothing." It was the most chilling moments in movies I have ever seen. The implication for me was that he was saying that the answer to the question "why do we exist?" is..."there's nothing."

There was actually something; not sure what Weyland meant there. He must have been thinking about something else when he went looking for the engineers. Strange that he was disappointed that the fairy godmother does not really exist. It's understandable though that he did not want to die, most nobody does.
