Sarah ConnorKill me...nothing matters anymore...
Terminator [Talking in Sarah’s nightmare]: You're right, nothing matters anymore, only the boy. The future's ours, and it begins now.{he begins to strangle her as a nuclear explosion goes off]
Sarah Connor [Monologue]: On July 16, 1945, in the mountains outside of Los Alamos, New Mexico, the world's first atomic bomb exploded. The white light pierced the sky with such intensity that a blind girl claimed to see the flash from a hundred miles away. After witnessing the explosion, J. Robert Oppenheimer quoted a fragment of the Bhagavad Gita, declaring, "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." His colleague, Ken Bainbridge, put it another way when he leaned close to Oppenheimer and whispered, "Now we're all sons of bitches."...
[Sarah watches Andy Goode's house burn down]
Sarah Connor...Now we are all sons of bitches.
Sarah Connor [Monologue]: Listen, Kyle said. Listen and understand. The machine is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever...
[Scene cuts to the hotel from the previous episode, and shows Derek murdered Andy in the hotel room]
Sarah Connor...Until you're dead.
Dr. Silberman [Sees Sarah]: Oh, my god. I'm sorry I ever doubted you.
[Sarah punches Silberman in the face]
Sarah ConnorApology accepted.
Sarah Connor[narrates] There are things that machines will never do. They cannot possess faith - they cannot commune with God... They cannot appreciate beauty - they cannot create art. If they ever learn these things, they won't have to destroy us. They'll be us.
[Cut to a scene of Cameron dancing alone in her room]
Sarah ConnorI had this regular, Tracy, she had two beautiful kids. She left her husband, moved her kids to L.A. to get 'em into show business. I'd bring her eggs every day and I'd hear what she said to them, that they had bad skin or crooked teeth, one lie after another. I swear sometimes I understand why they drop bombs on us.
Sarah ConnorWhy do we always find out about these people when it's too late, when they're dead? Do all these people have to die so we could win?
[Scene shows the aftermath of Comartie’s attack against Ellison’s SWAT team]
Sarah Connor [Monologue]: In Lord of the Flies, a group of boys slaughter a pig in the jungle. They torture it and place its head on a sharpened stake as an offering to the beast that hovers, god-like, over the island. Black blood drips down the pig's teeth. And the boys run away…
[Ellison mourns the death of his partner Greta, while Charley is shocked at the carnage]
Sarah Connor…Later, when one of the boys is alone, he weeps, but not for the pig. The boy weeps for the end of innocence and the darkness of men's hearts.
Sarah ConnorMy father slept with a gun under his pillow. There was no pill for his sickness, no medicine to ease his mind. He left blood and sweat and part of his soul in a foreign land. My father never talked to me about the war he fought. He never talked to anyone. Ever vigilant, ever silent. I never thought I'd follow in his footsteps.
Sarah ConnorIn 1678 doctors diagnosed a mental affliction soldiers suffered from as 'nostalgia' - homesickness, a longing to return to the past. The cruel reality of war is that there is no return home. No return to innocence. What is lost, is lost forever. Like my father, war's wounds have bled me dry. No words of comfort; no words of forgiveness. No words at all.
Sarah Connor[Voiceover] A spirit sits on a man's chest. She is strong, beautiful. She is here to steal his children. She is here to steal his future. He is paralyzed. The terror in him will burst his heart if he cannot control it. She is a nightmare. A demon woman. The oldest and most enduring story told by man. The witching hour is controlled by witches. She is a bad dream. She is a bad bitch.
Sarah Connor[Voiceover] When John was a child the legends of the jungle were his fairytales. His favorite was the story of El Viejo Del Bosque; the old man of the forest. A merciless hunter who killed every animal in his path. El Viejo didn't eat his prey; he left it behind to rot in the soil. To teach him a lesson the gods turned him into a simisco: half animal, half man. He was condemned to defend the jungle for all eternity. This was El Viejo's punishment, his curse: to forever be vigilant, to forever protect.
[Discussing Charley’s engagement with Sarah]
Sarah ConnorWe need to go.
No, you need to go. You’re scared, he gives you a ring, and now you are freaking out.
Sarah ConnorI know you like him…
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 ConnorDon't you think that, John! Don't you ever think that! Look at me! No one is ever safe.
...
Sarah ConnorHalf an hour, one bag, plus the guns. I'll make pancakes.
Cameron [Referring to terminators]: Skynet doesn’t know you are here, so there's no directive to hunt you.
So if I was to walk right by one…
They’ll walk right by you; they don’t know what you look like.
That’s really awesome
Sarah ConnorAnd what if they found out who he was, would they all know what to do then?
Cameron [Nodding]: They do.
Sarah ConnorAwesome.
[Sarah buying fake IDs from Carlos]
So I’m gonna give you what you need.
Sarah ConnorThank you.
20 thousand.
Sarah Connor [Surprised]: What? I don’t have that…
20 thousand, that’s the family discount for doing hard time, especially for someone who’s been dead for 8 years.
Sarah ConnorThat’s extortion.
War on Terrorism make this the front line, lady. Some raghead gets fake paper down here, we’ll all going to Guantanamo. 9/11 doubled prices overnight.
Sarah Connor9/11, what’s that?
[Carlos and his gang stared at each other awkwardly]
