- Cameron Phillips: It's too dangerous. We should go.
- John Connor: It's always too dangerous! It's war! War is dangerous!
- Sarah Connor: If you die, they win.
- Cameron Phillips: This is it. This is where the factory will be.
- Sarah Connor: What factory?
- Cameron Phillips: Where I'll be made. Me and many others.
- Sarah Connor: You know what I love about you guys? Even when you've evolved into the ultimate, indestructable killing machine, you're not above self-examination and improvement.
- Cameron Phillips: Thank you.
- Sarah Connor: Please shut up.
- Sarah Connor: [to son John when he has trouble getting a truck into gear] "If you're going to be a hero, ya gotta learn how to drive stick."
- Sarah Connor: You know what I love about you guys? Even when you've evolved into the ultimate indestructible killing machine, you're not above self-examination and improvement.
- Cameron Phillips: Thank you.
- Sarah Connor: Please shut up.
- Sarah Connor: Do you have any idea what's going on? I lost him! I lost John!
- Cameron Phillips: I understand.
- Sarah Connor: It's impossible for you to understand.
- Cameron Phillips: Without John, your life has no purpose.
- Sarah Connor: I can't believe I let him talk me into this. You try to open your hands just a little, and it's too soon.
- Cameron Phillips: Is it? The world ends in four years.
- Agent Greta Simpson: *You* trying to impress the boss? Wow. Crank up the Sugaray and call Monica Lewinsky. It's nineteen ninty-nine again.
- James Ellison: Sugar what?
- Sarah Connor: You okay?
- John Connor: I'm fine.
- [off Sarah's look]
- John Connor: Really. How many times are we gonna have this talk?
- Sarah Connor: A lot, I think.
- Sarah Connor: [narrates] The pride of man, of parents as well, makes us believe that anything we create we can control. Whether from clay or from metal, it is in the nature of us to make our own monsters. Our children are alloys, all; built from our own imperfect flesh. We animate them with magic... and never truly know what they will do.
- Sarah Connor: So, you wanna talk about it?
- John Connor: Talk about what?
- Sarah Connor: You just seem down... downer than usual.
- John Connor: I'm fine.
- Sarah Connor: John, I know what 'fine' means. 'Fine' means you're upset about something and you won't talk to me.
- John Connor: 'Fine' means I'm fine.
- [a guard wakes up in a chair he is tied to]
- Guard: [after getting his bearings back] Are you kidding?
- Sarah Connor: No!
- [punches him in the face]
- Sarah Connor: Tell me where they went.
- Guard: Lady, go to hell.
- Sarah Connor: Where they went or I'm gonna beat you to death.
- [Sarah hits him again]
- Sarah Connor: And don't call me lady.
- [she hits him again and again]
- Sarah Connor: Tell me where they went, dammit!
- Cameron Phillips: If you beat him to death, he can't tell us anything.
- Guard: I'm not gonna tell you anything.
- Sarah Connor: Okay.
- [She leaves and returns with a large bowie knife]
- Guard: Yeah, like you got the stones.
- [Sarah cuts him loose]
- Sarah Connor: You can go...
- [referencing Cameron]
- Sarah Connor: ...if you can get past her.
- [after leaving their interrogation subject stranded in a mine field]
- Cameron Phillips: It would have been faster to kill him. Sometimes you seem inefficient.
- Sarah Connor: I'm not for you to understand.
- Cameron Phillips: You've said that before.
- Sarah Connor: Well, I do things, you know... stupid, illogical, inefficient things. Humans. Get used to it.
- Cameron Phillips: It's not your fault.
- Sarah Connor: Maybe it's yours. Maybe if you would have let him try to save that girl, or at least let him think he had a choice in the matter, he wouldn't have gone off the reservation.
- Cameron Phillips: John does these things.
- Sarah Connor: Not the John I know.
- Cameron Phillips: The John I know.
