John Connor quotes from Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

Sarah Connor

And what would you do, be a hero? Get your name into the paper, your face?

John Connor

Isn’t that what I’m suppose to be, a hero? Isn’t that who I am? If it’s gonna sit inside me, if it’s gonna sit in my gut, then what are we doing? What’s the point? Why not just give it to them if we're gonna act like them!

Cameron

It’s too dangerous. We should go.

John Connor

It's always too dangerous. It’s war. War is dangerous.

Sarah Connor

If you die, they win.

John Connor

You're really good at math.

Cameron

Yes.

John Connor

You wanna do mine?

Cameron

Yes.

John Connor

A good code is like a good song in your head - it's gotta come out.

Sarah Connor

Yeah, well this song might just blow up the world.

Sarah Connor

Andy entered it into a tournament.

John Connor

Computer versus human?

Sarah Connor

Computer versus computer.

John Connor

That's the new thing, these programs are too smart and powerful to play people anymore.

Sarah Connor

It gets better the more we talk about it.

John Connor

How’s Andy doing?

Sarah Connor

Well, that depends on what your plans are for Andy; on the one hand he’s in the final round, on the other hand…winner gets a military contract.

John Connor

Military, are you serious? [Looks over at the military officers in the audience] Well, what do we do?

Sarah Connor

Cheer very hard for the Japanese, or Cameron will kill him.

Sarah Connor

Field trip.

John Connor

I call shotgun.

Cameron

I call nine millimeter.

John Connor

And what information do you have about Kyle Reese?

Cameron

Imprisoned at Century Sector work camp with John Connor, 2015. Escaped with John Connor, 2021. He was officially declared MIA in 2027 after being assigned to protect Sarah Connor from a Skynet attack.

John Connor

Is that all?

Cameron

Seems like a lot?

John Connor

It is.

John Connor

Are you mad at me for, getting you mixed up in all this?

Charley Dixon

Uh ... no. I, I just, I get, I ... I guess I wish, I would have known back then. I wish you could’ve trusted me.

John Connor

I did.

John Connor

We have to tell him.

Sarah Connor

We don’t and we can’t.

John Connor

He’s family.

Sarah Connor

He’s a stranger.

John Connor

I send him back here so I must trust him.

Sarah Connor

Not enough to tell him about Kyle. You didn’t trust anyone enough to tell them about your father. Anyone.

Derek Reese

Your mom was in prison?

John Connor

Mental hospital. You go around blowing up buildings and ranting about robots, it happens.

Sarah Connor

The day I broke out of there, the day you came for me, I was coming for you. Because about three seconds after I signed that paper I knew I couldn't live with it. I was coming for you and I was gonna die trying.

John Connor

You almost did.

Sarah Connor

So did you.

John Connor

And you were mad as hell about it. You yelled at me; told me what a stupid move it was.

Sarah Connor

I might have oversold that a little.

John Connor

What are you saying?

Derek Reese

What I’m saying is what I've been saying, John. She can’t be trusted. No matter how she acts on the outside, we have no idea what’s going on in there.

John Connor

I can say that about you.

John Connor

So how often do you lie?

Cameron

When the mission requires it.

John Connor

Do you lie to me?

Cameron

Sometimes.

John Connor

About important things?

Cameron

Yes, important things.

John Connor

Wow, what a mess. How the hell do you keep your brain organized?

Cameron

Not like yours.

John Connor

No kidding.

John Connor

Was that thing…married?

Cameron

The T-888 is an advanced model infiltrator.

John Connor

I…I don’t think she even knows, I mean is that possible?

Cameron

She will not be the first human fooled by a machine.
