A scene from The Terminator 1984
Dr. Silberman

Why didn't you bring any weapons, something more advanced? Don't you have, uh, ray guns? Show me a piece of future technology.

Kyle

You go naked. Something about the field generated by a living organism. Nothing dead will go.

Dr. Silberman

Why?

Kyle

[frustrated]

I didn't build the **** thing!

Dr. Silberman

Okay, okay. But this cyborg, if it's metal...

Kyle

Surrounded by living tissue!

Dr. Silberman

Oh, right, right. [pauses the interrogation tape] This is great stuff! I could make a career out of this guy. You see how clever this part is, how it doesn't require a shred of proof? And most paranoid delusions are intricate, but this is brilliant! [resumes the interrogation tape] Why were the other two women killed?

Kyle

Most of the records were lost in the war. Skynet knew almost nothing about Connor's mother. Her full name, where she lives. They just knew the city. The Terminator was just being systematic.

Dr. Silberman

Uh-huh. Well, let's go back to where I was...

Kyle

[interrupts]

Look! You have heard enough! I have answered your questions! Now I have to see Sarah Connor!

Dr. Silberman

I'm afraid that's not up to me.

Kyle

Then why am I talking to you?

Dr. Silberman

Because I can help...

Kyle

Who is in authority here?!

Dr. Silberman

Please, I...

Kyle

[interrupts again]

SHUT UP!!! [glares at the camera] You still don't get it, do you?! He'll find her! THAT'S WHAT HE DOES! THAT'S ALL HE DOES! YOU CAN'T STOP HIM! HE'LL WADE THROUGH YOU, REACH DOWN HER THROAT, AND PULL HER **** HEART OUT!!!

Ed Traxler

Doc?

Kyle

Aagh! LET GO OF ME--!

Dr. Silberman

[pauses the interrogation tape]

Sorry.

Sarah

So is Reese crazy?

Dr. Silberman

In technical terminology, he's a loon.
