Quotes 

• [Derek and John are sitting in the park, eating ice cream and watching two kids playing baseball] 

  Derek Reese : It's beautiful here, isn't it?

  [John nods] 

  Derek Reese : When you stay long enough, you start fooling yourself into thinking that this is... how it's always gonna be. Then you remember what this place'll look like when it's on fire and... you realize you'll do whatever it takes to keep from watching it burn again.

  [the baseball lands near John. John picks it up and gives it back to the younger kid, then spots the older boy wearing a shirt with the name "Reese" on the back. John turns back to Derek stunned] 

  John Connor : Is that... you?

  [realizes the implications] 

  John Connor : And the younger one? Is that...?

  Derek Reese : Kyle. Throws pretty good for a five-year-old, huh? Your father always had a nice arm.

  John Connor : [shocked]  How'd you know?

  Derek Reese : Every time I look at you I see him.

  [smirks] 

  Derek Reese : Besides, your mom's his type.

  [with watery eyes, John watches the two young Reeses play again] 

  Derek Reese : Happy birthday.

• John Connor : [referring to Kyle]  What was he like?

  Derek Reese : He was just a kid when it happened. Eight years old, I was fifteen. How do you tell an eight-year-old machines have taken over the world?

  John Connor : How do you?

  Derek Reese : You don't.

• Derek Reese : So, it's your birthday.

  John Connor : How... how d'you know?

  Derek Reese : Are you kidding? I celebrated your 30th with you.

  John Connor : [smiles]  How was that?

  Derek Reese : [chuckles]  You got drunk as a skunk.

  [John laughs] 

  Derek Reese : Come on. I'll buy you a beer.

  John Connor : I'm sixteen.

  Derek Reese : All right, I'll buy you an ice cream cone. Come on, it's your birthday. When there are things to celebrate, they should be celebrated.

• Derek Reese : [on Sarah]  She's got murder in her eyes all the time, but her heart's pure.

• 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] 

• [Sarkissian is holding a gun to John's throat and Derek walks onto the scene with his gun on a little girl] 

  Derek Reese : Let him go.

  Fake Sarkissian : Not my kid.

  Derek Reese : Not mine either.

• [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.

• Derek Reese : Remind me again, why... why are the boys out here and the girls in there?

  John Connor : Because one of the "boys" is still wanted for murder. And one of the "girls" is harder than nuclear nails.

  Derek Reese : And the other one's a cyborg.

• John Connor : Moore's law: the guy who founded Intel said that every two years, the number of transistors on a computer chip doubles. Thirty years ago it was an observation, now it's a law. Tech industry spent billions doubling chip power.

  Derek Reese : And?

  John Connor : And, that's how we can go from a chess computer to the apocalypse in just four years.

• John Connor : I learned that a lot can happen in four years.

  Derek Reese : A lot can happen in four seconds. One minute I'm in the yard with my brother playing baseball, the next we look up and the sky is on fire.

  John Connor : Judgment Day.
