He says he was wrong all along and has now accepted Jesus as his saviour.
Only kidding.
He says he won't do that.

LMAO !!
Well, I don't think that illness shoudl drive anyone to accept Jesus, though it seems it does for some, as it also does the reverse in other cases.

Tyrell: Would you... like to be upgraded?
Batty: I had in mind something a little more radical.
Tyrell: What... what seems to be the problem?
Batty: Death.

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.
