Quotations

Good morning Doctor Silberman. How's the knee?

I feel much better now. Clearer.

You have to let me see my son. Please. Please. He's naked without me.

[has just broken Dr. Silberman's arm] There are 215 bones in the human body- that's one! Now don't move!

You're already dead, Silberman. Everybody dies, you know I believe it, so don't fuck with me!

[Voiceover] Watching John with the machine, it was suddenly so clear. The Terminator would never stop, it would never leave him. And it would never hurt him, never shout at him or get drunk and hit him or say it was too busy to spend time with him. It would always be there and it would die to protect him. Of all the would-be fathers who came and went over the years, this thing, this machine was the only one who measured up. In an insane world, it was the sanest choice.

[Voiceover] Dyson listened while the Terminator laid it all down. Skynet. Judgment Day, the history of things to come. It's not every day that you find out you're responsible for 3 billion deaths. He took it pretty well.

Yeah, right. How were you supposed to know? Fucking men like you built the hydrogen bomb. Men like you thought it up. You think you're so creative. You don’t know what it's like to really create something. to create a life. To feel it growing inside you. All you know how to create is death and destruction.
