Quotes
- John Connor: I need a computer. I need to do research.
- Cameron Phillips: You want the blueprints for the Los Angeles County Jail.
- John Connor: Do I?
- Cameron Phillips: So you can plan how to get your mother out. But I'm not going to let you do that, you should know that by now.
- John Connor: I do know that by now.
- Cameron Phillips: Then what is there to research?
- John Connor: Power sources, shielded nuclear power sources.
- Cameron Phillips: Like mine?
- John Connor: Just like yours.
- Cameron Phillips: Why?
- John Connor: I wanna know if being around them all the time can give you cancer.
....
- Catherine Weaver: Who's winning, Mister Murch?
- Matt Murch: Well, it's not really that kind of game, although I'm a little bummed that he killed the Umber Hulk so fast.
- Catherine Weaver: I'm sure you've considered the possibility he can roll whatever number he desires.
....
- Matt Murch: John Henry was hacked, we-we fixed that - and besides, I-I think we're past the point where moving the hardware's a good idea. In fact, I think it's … potentially a really bad idea.
- Catherine Weaver: Oh? How's that so?
- Matt Murch: For example, the other day, one of the fan wires on the server was … glitchy, uh, so we switched it out. Same wire, same length, identical - like, uh, changing a spark plug.
- Catherine Weaver: And?
- Matt Murch: It sort of … tweaked him.
- Catherine Weaver: I'm not sure what you're getting at.
- Matt Murch: What I'm getting at is I think what we know to be John Henry only exists as this specific collection of hardware and software … body and soul.
- Catherine Weaver: We change a wire, we change John Henry.
- Matt Murch: Yes.
....
- James Ellison: You can tell 'em. You can tell 'em everything you've been doing. You could draw 'em a picture of everything they know and everything you know. If you're innocent, you could do that.
- Sarah Connor: Last time I drew a picture, I ended up in a psych ward.
- James Ellison: Maybe things will be different now. Maybe … you got nothing to lose.
- Sarah Connor: There's always something to lose.
....
- Cameron Phillips: If my power source was leaking radiation, I would know. I have sensors for that.
- John Connor: Where are they?
- Cameron Phillips: You can't see them.
- John Connor; No, of course not. So I just have to trust you on it. But stuff does go wrong with you, doesn't it? Stuff breaks … you kill birds, you twitch … you try to murder me. You're not perfect. You're a machine.
