Quotes:

John Connor: Did you call *moi* a dipshit?

[first lines]::Sarah Connor: [narrating] Three billion human lives ended on August 29th, 1997. The survivors of the nuclear fire called the war Judgment Day. They lived only to face a new nightmare: the 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 set 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.

[the Terminator hoists a huge gun and lopsidedly smiles]::John Connor: It's definitely you.

The Terminator: The Skynet Funding Bill is passed. The system goes on-line August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.::Sarah Connor: Skynet fights back.::The Terminator: Yes. It launches its missiles against the targets in Russia.::John Connor: Why attack Russia? Aren't they our friends now?::The Terminator: Because Skynet knows the Russian counter-attack will eliminate its enemies over here.

Sarah Connor: [narrating] Dyson listened while the Terminator laid it all down: Skynet, Judgment Day, the history of things to come. It's not everyday you find out that you're responsible for 3 billion deaths. He took it pretty well.::Miles Dyson: I feel like I'm gonna throw up.

Sarah Connor: How are 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...::John Connor: Mom.::Sarah Connor: ...and destruction...::John Connor: Mom! We need to be a little more constructive here, okay?

John Connor: No, no, no, no. You gotta listen to the way people talk. You don't say "affirmative," or some shit like that. You say "no problemo." And if someone comes on to you with an attitude you say "eat me." And if you want to shine them on it's "hasta la vista, baby."::The Terminator: Hasta la vista, baby.::John Connor: Yeah but later, dickwad. And if someone gets upset you say, "chill out"! Or you can do combinations.::The Terminator: Chill out, dickwad.::John Connor: Great! See, you're getting it!::The Terminator: No problemo.

John Connor: We're not gonna make it, are we? People, I mean.::The Terminator: It's in your nature to destroy yourselves.::John Connor: Yeah. Major drag, huh?

John Connor: [the Terminator rips open the steering column of a car to hotwire it, John interrupts, jingling a set of keys before him] Are we learning yet?

[One-armed and battered after confronting the T-1000]::The Terminator: I need a vacation.
