Terminator 2: Judgment Day quotes
Page 4 of 5Dyson 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Are we learning yet?
Did you call moi a dip-shit?
Easy money!
Good morning Doctor Silberman. How's the knee?
I feel much better now. Clearer.
I grew up in places like this, so I just thought that's how people lived - riding around in helicopters, learning how to blow shit up. But then when my mom got busted, I got put into a regular school. And the other kids were into Nintendo.
Look, mom! It I'm ever supposed to be this great military leader, maybe you should start listening to MY leadership ideas once in a while. 'Cause if my own mother won't, how do you expect anyone else to?
Miles Dyson. She's gonna blow him away!
