Quotes 

• John Connor : Well, I guess when they say you can't fight City Hall, they really mean it.

  Derek Reese : Whoever said that didn't have as much plastic as we do.

  Sarah Connor : We can't blow up City Hall.

  Derek Reese : Oh, it's really not that hard.

• [last lines] 

  [Vick's view of Barbara in her shower] 

  Sarah Connor : [narrating]  So much danger in this world is hidden behind masks. We tell our children stories of good and evil, well knowing it's not that simple.

  [Vick enters the shower] 

  Barbara Chamberlain : Do you realize that in 36 hours, we'll be waking up in Tahiti? I can't believe you bought us tickets.

  Sarah Connor : [narrating]  True evil doesn't give us time to fight, or to be afraid.

  [Vick puts his hand around Barbara's throat and snaps her neck] 

  Sarah Connor : [narrating]  We keep our heads down, never bothering to look behind the masks. And in doing so, we resign ourselves to terrible fates we can never see coming.

• Cameron Phillips : [about Vick the Terminator]  He's protecting her.

  Sarah Connor : Why? And why like *that*?

  Derek Reese : Because they're twisted. That's why.

  [gives Cameron a pointed look of disgust and starts to leave] 

  Derek Reese : I'll be in the Jeep.

• Sarah Connor : [at Barbara Chamberlain's house]  She hasn't been here for a while. I wonder what she thinks happened to her husband.

  Derek Reese : You kidding? She's dead.

  Sarah Connor : You don't know that.

  [they enter the house] 

  Sarah Connor : He wasn't holding her captive. Wasn't intimidating her. They lived here together.

  Derek Reese : Think you'd know?

  Sarah Connor : I know I'd know.

• Sarah Connor : [narrating]  All of us wear masks. They can be worn out of love, and the desire to remain close to those around us. To spare them from the complicated reality of our afraid psyches. We trade honesty for companionship. And in the process, never truly know the hearts closest to us.

• [trying to find the women that Vick murdered] 

  Cameron Phillips : I don't understand your need to find her. She's dead.

  Sarah Connor : That's because you don't value human life.

  Cameron Phillips : But she's not life, she's just a body - bones and meat... Was that bad to say?

• [Derek Reese in the shower, Sarah pulls back the curtain] 

  Sarah Connor : Sarkissian returned my call, he'll meet about selling the Turk.

  Derek Reese : He's still got it? When's the meeting?

  Sarah Connor : Tomorrow morning.

  Derek Reese : [standing in shower]  Meaning this news could've waited?

  Sarah Connor : You killed Andy Goode. There was no one there to protect him and you killed him. You lie to me again, I'll kill you.

• Derek Reese : [searching in the tunnel system of City Hall]  There shouldn't be a wall here. In the future, there's no wall here.

  Sarah Connor : Meaning?

  Derek Reese : Meaning we need to blow it up.

• [Sarah observes Derek brushing his teeth] 

  Sarah Connor : You've been doing that for twenty minutes now - with *my* toothbrush!

• Sarah Connor : Why do we always find out about these people when it's too late, when they're dead? Do all these people have to die so that we can win? Is that it?

• Sarah Connor : He gained her trust. Made her think he was human. Then killed her.

  Derek Reese : It's what they do.

  [throws a side glance to Cameron] 

• Sarah Connor : [about her life as a waitress]  I had this regular, Tracy. She had two beautiful kids... She left her husband, moved her kids to L.A. to get 'em into show business. I'd bring her eggs every day. And I'd hear what she said to them. That they had bad skin or crooked teeth. One lie after another. I swear, sometimes I understand why they drop bombs on us.

• Derek Reese : These buildings are all connected by a series of underground tunnels that were built during the cold war. I did a project on it in the ninth grade - my last year of school.

  Sarah Connor : And how do you know they're still functional?

  Derek Reese : I lived there - Kyle and I. *After* they dropped the bombs on us.

• [John intends to plant a virus into ARTIE with Cameron's chip] 

  Sarah Connor : You can get in through a traffic light?

  John Connor : Yes.

  Sarah Connor : Are you sure?

  John Connor : Nope.

  Sarah Connor : Are *you* sure?

  Cameron Phillips : No.
