Quotes
- John Connor What are you doing?
- Cameron Phillips: Feeling what it's like to get away from it all.
- John Connor: I don't think you are.
- Cameron Phillips: What do you mean?
- John Connor: If by feelings you mean emotions, I'm pretty sure you still don't have any of those. And if by feeling you mean what it feels like to have the wind blow through your toes or your hair, I'm pretty sure you can't feel that either.
- Cameron Phillips: I don't think you understand how we work. I have sensation. I feel. I wouldn't be worth much if I couldn't feel.
....
- John Connor: How're you feeling?
- Sarah Connor: How do I look?
- John Connor: Like crap.
- Sarah Connor: Wish I felt that good.
....
- John Connor: When we see something that's in pain or in trouble or whatever, we try and help it.
- Cameron Phillips: Empathy.
- John Connor: Something like that.
- Cameron Phillips: But not everyone would turn the tortoise over.
- John Connor: Nope. Some would just leave it there.
- Cameron Phillips: Some would probably drive over it. Crush it.
- John Connor: Yeah, I guess they would. Is that what you'd do?
- Cameron Phillips: It didn't seem like much of a threat. We're not built to be cruel.
- John Connor: Yeah, that's one for cyborgs.
....
- Cameron Phillips: Is she pregnant?
- John Connor: Why the hell would you even ask that?
- Cameron Phillips: Kacy vomited when she was pregnant. (to Sarah) You're vomiting. It's morning. That's when it happens.
....
- John Connor: He's buried in a hole in the middle of the Mexican desert, and his chip has been obliterated. I think we're pretty ...
- Cameron Phillips: ... Safe? It's not safe.
- John Connor: (to his mom) Oh, God, she's starting to sound like you.
....
- Derek Reese: Some people, you can beat them and beat them, and they'll take it. Whatever pain you give them, they absorb it, like it was theirs all along, and you're giving it back to them. You see, deep down, they hate themselves, and they use that hate to eat the pain.
