Quotes 

• [after Cromartie has massacred the FBI SWAT team] 

  Sarah Connor : [narrating]  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. - The black blood drips down the pig's teeth, and the boys run away. - 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 Connor : How are we supposed to celebrate your birthday if you're sitting in front of a computer?

  [John looks at her, surprised] 

  Sarah Connor : Do you actually thought I forgot your birthday?

  John Connor : It's just, we have much more important things to think about than my stupid birthday.

  Sarah Connor : Your birthday *is* important.

  John Connor : No, it's, it's not important. Finding the Turk, stopping Skynet, Judgment Day, that's important, that's... that's our life.

  Sarah Connor : It's our mission. This is our life. If we stop caring about that, then we're lost.

  [two kids are playing baseball] 

  Sarah Connor : [narrating]  When John was little, he used to sleep with his hand under my chin. At night I'd lay awake watching him, calm, peaceful, happy. I wanted to freeze time, and let my son live in that moment forever.

  [younger boy misses the ball with his bat] 

  Sarah Connor : [narrating]  But you can't freeze time. You can't protect your children from the future that awaits them.

  Kyle at 8 : Batting's hard, Derek!

  Derek at 15 : You're doing great, Kyle, just remember how I showed you: stay on top of the ball.

  Sarah Connor : [narrating]  The moment's there. And then...

  Derek at 15 : [Kyle hits the ball]  Yes!

  Kyle at 8 : Yes, finally!

  Sarah Connor : [narrating]  ... it's gone.

  [distant explosions] 

  Kyle at 8 : Fireworks! Cool!

  [looking up they see the nuclear bombs streaking across the sky] 

• Derek Reese : [grabs Sarkissian, pushes him against the wall and levels a gun to his head]  Here's my counter-offer: You tell us where the Turk is, we keep our money, and I bury you in the backyard.

  Fake Sarkissian : [chuckles]  Well, you listen to me. If I don't walk out of here in ten minutes, my people are instructed to call the FBI, and tell 'em everything I know.

  Sarah Connor : Your people?

  Fake Sarkissian : Yeah. My people. Same people who are watching your son. He's on a field trip, isn't he? With his class? Science Museum, I believe.

  Derek Reese : [smiles]  Your people have no idea what they're walking into.

• [the Connor group walks up to the cafe manager nonchalantly] 

  Derek Reese : Where is he?

  Cafe Manager : Who?

  [Sarah reaches over the counter and slams the manager's head down on the desk] 

  Sarah Connor : He. Need I repeat?

  [the manager meekly points to the back room]

• [Sarah and Derek are looking out for Sarkissian when two policemen appear] 

  Sarah Connor : We have to go.

  Derek Reese : We came here for the Turk.

  Sarah Connor : We can't get it if we're in prison.

• Derek Reese : [about the diamonds]  Those are from the safehouse I set up, so technically, they're mine.

  Sarah Connor : Well, I'm guessing you stole 'em. So technically, they're evidence in a felony.
