Kyle Reese: Come with me if you want to live.
John Connor: If we stay the course, we are dead! WE ARE ALL DEAD!
Marcus Wright: What day? What year?
Kyle Reese: 2018.
Marcus Wright: What happened here?
Kyle Reese: Judgment Day happened.
John Connor: I knew it. I knew it was coming. But this is not the future my mother warned me about. And in this future, I don't know if we can win this war. This is John Connor.
