John Connor
(To Marcus Wright)

You and me, we've been at war since before either of us existed. You tried to kill my mother, Sarah Connor. You killed my father, Kyle Reese. You will not kill me.

John Connor
(To General Ashdown, on the eve of the Resistance's offensive against Skynet)

If we stay the course, we are dead! We are all dead!

John Connor

This is not the future my mother warned me about.

John Connor

We've been fighting a long time. We're outnumbered by machines.

John Connor
(After Kate asks what she should say if his men find him gone)

I'll be back.

John Connor
(last lines of the film)

There is a storm on the horizon. A time of hardship and pain. The battle has been won, but the war against machines rages on. Skynet's global network remains strong, but we will not quit, until all of it is destroyed. This is John Connor. There is no fate but what we make.

(thinking)

What is it that makes us human? It's not something you can program. You can't put it into a chip. It's the strength of the human heart. The difference between us and machines.

John Connor
(pause and than continues thinking)

There is a storm on the horizon. A time of hardship and pain. This battle has been won, but the war against the machines races on. Skynet's global network remains strong, but we will not quit, until all of it is destroyed. This is John Connor. There is no fate, but what we make.
