Sarah Connor quotes

View Quote [Voiceover] Three billion human lives ended on August 29, 1997. The survivors of the nuclear fire called the war Judgment Day. They lived only to face a new nightmare, a war against the machines. The computer which controlled the machines, Skynet, sent two terminators back through time. Their mission: to destroy the leader of the human Resistance. John Connor; my son. The first terminator was programmed to strike at me, in the year 1984, before John was born. It failed. The second was sent to strike at John himself, when he was still a child. As before, the Resistance was able to send a lone warrior. A protector for John. It was just a question of which one of them would reach him first.

View Quote Good morning Doctor Silberman. How's the knee?

View Quote [On tape] It's like a giant strobe light, burning right through my eyes, but somehow I can still see. Oh, God. Look, you know the dream's the same every night, why do I have to--? The children look like burnt paper, black, not moving. And then, the blast wave hits them and they fly apart like leaves. It's not a dream, you moron. It's real. I know the date it happens! On August 29th, 1997, it's gonna feel pretty ****ing real to you, too! Anybody not wearing two million sunblock is gonna have a real bad day, get it?! You think you're safe and alive? You're already dead! Everybody! Him, you, you're dead already! This whole place! Everything you see is gone! You're the one living in a ****ing dream, Silberman! Because I know it happens! It happens!!

View Quote I feel much better now. Clearer.

View Quote You have to let me see my son. Please. Please.

View Quote There are 215 bones in the human body. That's one! Now don't move!

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

View Quote [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.

View Quote [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.

View Quote Yeah, right. How were you supposed to know? ****ing 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.

View Quote [Voiceover] The future, always so clear to me, had become like a black highway at night. We were in uncharted territory now, making up history as we went along.

View Quote [Voiceover] The unknown future rolls toward us. I face it for the first time with a sense of hope, because if a machine, a Terminator, can learn the value of human life, maybe we can, too.
