Movie Quote Quiz

T-1000: Say... That's a nice bike.

Dr. Silberman: You broke my arm!
Sarah Connor: There's 215 bones in the human body. That's one.

The Terminator: I need your clothes, boots and your motorcycle.
Cigar Biker: You forgot to say please.

Sarah Connor: [narrating.] Dyson listened while the Terminator laid it all down: Skynet, Judgment Day, the history of things to come. It's not everyday you find out that you're responsible for 3 billion deaths. He took it pretty well.
Miles Dyson: I feel like I'm gonna throw up.

Sarah Connor: Keep it under 65. We don't want to be pulled over.
The Terminator: Affirmative.
John Connor: No, no, no, no. You gotta listen to the way people talk. You don't say "affirmative" or some shit like that. You say, "No problemo." If someone comes off to you with an attitude, you say "Eat me." And if you want to shine 'em on it's, "Hasta la vista, baby."
The Terminator: Hasta la vista, baby.
John Connor: Yeah. Or, "Later dickwad." If someone gets upset you say, "Chill out." Or you can do combinations.
The Terminator: "Chill out...dickwad."
John Connor: That's great! See, you're getting it.
The Terminator: No problemo.

John Connor: Where are we going?
Terminator: We have to get out of the city immediately and avoid the authorities.
John Connor: Listen, I need to stop by my house. I want to pick up some stuff before we leave.
Terminator: Negative. The T-1000 will definitely try to reacquire you there.
John Connor: Are you sure?
Terminator: I would.

John Connor: I need a minute here! You're telling me that this thing can imitate anything it touches?
The Terminator: Anything it samples by physical contact.
John Connor: Get real! Like it could disguise itself as a pack of cigarettes?
The Terminator: No, only an object of equal size.
John Connor: Well why doesn't it just become a bomb or something to get me?
The Terminator: It can't form complex machines. Guns and explosives have chemicals, moving parts. It doesn't work that way. But it can form solid metal shapes.
John Connor: Like what?
The Terminator: Knives and stabbing weapons.

Sarah Connor: It's over.
The Terminator: No. There's one more chip. And it must be destroyed also. Here. I cannot self-terminate. You must lower me into the steel.
John Connor: No.
The Terminator: I'm sorry, John. I'm sorry.
John Connor: No, it'll be OK! Stay with us! It'll be OK!
The Terminator: I have to go away.
John Connor: No, don't do it! Please don't go!

The Terminator: I'm sorry.
John Connor: No, don't do it! Don't go!
The Terminator: It has to end here.
John Connor: I order you not to go! I order you not to go! I order you not to go!
The Terminator: I know now why you cry, but it's something I can never do.

[The Terminator rips the skin off his arm in front of Dyson and his wife.]
The Terminator: Now listen to me very carefully.

Sarah Connor: Three billion human lives ended on August 29th, 1997. The survivors of the nuclear fire called the war Judgment Day. They lived only to face a new nightmare: the war against the machines. The computer which controlled the machines, Skynet, sent two Terminators back through time. Their mission: to destroy the leader of the human resistance, John Connor, my son. The first Terminator was programmed to strike at me in the year 1984, before John was born. It failed. The second was set to strike at John himself when he was still a child. As before, the resistance was able to send a lone warrior, a protector for John. It was just a question of which one of them would reach him first.

Sarah Connor: The unknown future rolls toward us. I face it, for the first time, with a sense of hope. Because if a machine, a Terminator, can learn the value of human life, maybe we can too.

John Connor: Can you learn stuff you haven't been programmed with? So you can be, you know, more human? And not such a dork all the time?

Mistakes

Terminator 2: Judgment Day mistake picture

Revealing mistake: In the scene where the Terminator and the T-1000 are fighting in the corridors of The Galleria, the Terminator has fired multiple shots at the T-1000. When he gets up off the floor, the Terminator throws him into the left wall and the impact hole is already visible before he hits. (00:31:45)

Trivia

Trivia: The insert car driver (towing the bike ridden by Eddie Furlong) was warned at the very beginning of the scene where John rides out of the mall and the T-1000 is chasing him, that Robert Patrick could run exceptionally well. The driver confidently said that Patrick wouldn't catch him. However, on the very first take, Patrick ran right up and tapped Furlong on the shoulder. So if this was real life, the human race would be in trouble.

Questions

Question: Arnold said that when the T-1000 took the form of someone he would likely terminate the person being copied. Why didn't the T-1000 kill Sarah? He had been in physical contact and could mimic her voice. There was no reason to get her to call John at the end, he could have killed her immediately.

Answer: In addition, another deleted scene shows that the T-1000 was damaged by being frozen and thawed and was having difficulty maintaining form. He wanted to be sure he wouldn't mess it up.

What's especially odd about the scene is that both examples we gave to help answer this question were actually deleted from the original release. When I first saw this movie in the theater when it was released I had the exact same question, it wasn't until I saw the Special Edition with the deleted scenes reinserted that it made sense.

Answer: It comes down to the difficulty in impersonating someone John actually knows. The T-1000 had failed impersonating someone close to John when he got the name of the dog incorrect. A deleted scene (re-incorporated into the film in the Director's Cut) shows him checking the dog's tag afterwards, so he is aware exactly how he was outsmarted. Keeping Sarah alive is a way to avoid this sort of mistake. She is more useful to him at this point alive. He is not expecting her to endure his torture and he certainly isn't expecting her to be able to fight him afterwards.

BaconIsMyBFF

Answer: While the T-1000 can copy her appearance and her voice, he knows he can't quite copy the emotion and desperation conveyed in her real voice, at least not enough to be convincing to John. Of course, he tries anyway and almost succeeds until the real Sarah shows up.
