John Connor

Terminator Anger is more useful than despair.
John Connor: What?
Terminator: Basic psychology is among my sub-routines.

— Does it hurt when you get shot?
— I sense injuries. The data could be called «pain».

— Why do you cry?
— You mean people?
— Yeah.
— I don't know. We just cry... you know, when it hurts.
— Pain causes it?
— No. It's different. It's when there's nothing wrong with you, but you hurt anyway. You get it?
— No.

John Connor: You don't have to do this! You don't want to do this!
Terminator: Desire is irrelevant. I am a machine.

If you're listening to this, you are the Resistance.

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

— A kill list was intercepted from Skynet. It says everyone in this room will be dead by week's end. You're number two on the list.
— Well, who's number one?
— An unknown. A civilian. Kyle Reese.

— Skynet launches its missiles against the targets in Russia.
— Why attack Russia? Aren't they our friends now?
