John Connor quotes from Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

John Connor

My mom, she's kinda uptight. Actually, she's really uptight.

John Connor

You’ve reached the future leader of mankind, may take me a little while to get back to you, but leave a message anyway.

John Connor

My dad's always a hero. And he's always dead.

John Connor

[to Cameron] Stuff goes wrong with you. You kill birds. You twitch. You try to murder me. You're a machine. You're not perfect.

Sarah Connor

We need to go.

John Connor

No, you need to go. You’re scared, he gives you a ring, and now you are freaking out.

Sarah Connor

I know you like him…

John Connor

So do you mom, so do you. I know you love him, I know you do…Listen to me, the cops will never find us, we’re perfectly safe.

Sarah Connor

Don't you think that, John! Don't you ever think that! Look at me! No one is ever safe.

Sarah Connor

Half an hour, one bag, plus the guns. I'll make pancakes.

John Connor

I lied to you yesterday. My dad doesn't sell insurance. He's dead. He was a soldier who was killed on a mission.

Cameron

I'm sorry.

John Connor

It's all right. My mom was pregnant with me when it happened. I never even knew him, so it's all right. My mom... s-she's kinda uptight. [Laughs] Actually, no. S-she's really upright. She likes me to come home straight after and hang out with her and all that, you know. I'm all she's got.

Cameron

[Pauses] Thank you for explaining. [smiles] It'll be our secret.

Cameron

Back at school... you apologized for lying to me. So I should apologize for lying to you.

John Connor

It's all right, I get it. You needed to get close to me, it's just the way you're... programmed.

John Connor

So if I was to walk right by one…

Cameron

They’ll walk right by you; they don’t know what you look like.

John Connor

That’s really awesome

Sarah Connor

And what if they found out who he was, would they all know what to do then?

Sarah Connor

Awesome.

John Connor

Still, it’s not exactly like brain surgery or anything, it’d be pretty funny if you were some sort of advanced cybernetic intelligence, yet stumped by a stick of eyeliner.

Cameron

No, it’s not a brain surgery...[Looking at the eyeliner]...it would have to be a lot sharper.

John Connor

Okay, blend in.

Cameron

Blend in.

Yeah, I mean don’t seem like a freak…you know what I mean right?

Cameron

Freak. Weirdo. Kook. Oddball. Crackpot. Strange duck. Weird potato. Nut? [pause] I’ve been reading the dictionary. I don’t sleep.

John Connor

You won’t fool anyone.

Cameron

I fooled you.

John Connor

Excuse me, this is my sister.

John Connor

Look, she’s got a metal plate in her head…really, it’s a big one.

Cameron

I fell, hard.

Sarah Connor

Hey, how was school?

Cameron

I have a metal plate in my head.

John Connor

She’s gonna need a note.

Sarah Connor

I meant you, not her.

John Connor

Yeah fine.

Sarah Connor

You're not gonna give me anything?

John Connor

What? We went, we learned, I didn’t get killed, and she didn’t kill anybody. It’s a pretty good first day, I think.

John Connor

Again, what did it look like?

Sarah Connor

What did it look like, who cares what it looked like. It was just a rack of computer equipment.

John Connor

Okay, was there an obvious network access? Do you know what kind of bandwidth?

Sarah Connor

You’re joking.

John Connor

What about power supply? Was there a cooling element? Like a fan or something.

Sarah Connor

John…

John Connor

Mom, I’m just trying to get a sense of the horsepower, I wanna know if this thing was a dinky little homemade soap box, or it was a full fledged AI platform, capable of learning, and growing, and taking on other applications…

Sarah Connor

It plays chess.

John Connor

So did Einstein.

Cameron

Do you like this color on me?

John Connor

What?

Cameron

I'm a bitch whore.

John Connor

What?

Cameron

I have a new friend.

John Connor

Did she call you a bitch whore?

Cameron

No, she cried.

John Connor

Wai.....What?!
