Terminator Quotes

1. “Pain is a feeling that can be controlled. All you have to do is unplug it and you won’t feel anything.” – by Kyle

2. “Kyle: Terminators are immune to pain. I am not. Please don’t bite me again.

Sarah: Will you just let me leave?

Kyle: Let me put this in a way so that you can get it. That killer is around here somewhere. You can’t make deals with it. You can’t try to reason with a monster. The Terminator doesn’t feel any sympathy, regret and he’s not afraid. It’s a monster and he will not stop until he kills you.”

3. “Sarah: Are you sure I’m the one you’re looking for?

Kyle: I’m positive.

Sarah: Are you serious? Are you telling me that I’m the mother of the future? Do you think I’m strong? Do you think I’m an organized person? You’re wrong. I can’t even keep my finances together. I never asked for any of this and I certainly don’t want it.

Kyle: I have a message from your son. He wanted to make sure I didn’t forget anything. “I appreciate your strength through the bad times. I won’t be able to help you with the trouble you will be dealing with. The only way I can help you is by letting you know that the future isn’t set in stone. You have to be tougher than you ever thought possible. If you don’t live, I will never be.” That’s all he had to say.”

7. “Your son let me see a photo of you. I was confused as to why he did that at the time. It was an old picture of you. It was ripped and it was faded. You looked like you do now.

I traveled through time to be with you. I love you and I loved you for a long time.” – by Kyle

10. “Sarah: Why is this happening to me? Why does he want to come after me?

Kyle: There was a war some time ago. In a little while, this world will be gone. People did survive. No one knew how the war got started. It happened because of the cyborgs.

Sarah: I’m confused, Reese.

Kyle: There were these special defense computers. They got into everything and were expected to run everything. It became too smart and too intelligent. Suddenly it was under the impression that people were threats. They weren’t just talking about the people from the other side. They decided that it was time to destroy civilization.

Sarah: Did you end up watching the war?

Kyle: I didn’t see it. I was too young to see the war. I was living in ruins. I was starving and hiding from the H-K’s.

Sarah: What are H-K’s?

Kyle: They are hunter killers. They are patrol machines built in warehouses. They divided us up in camps so they could get rid of us. They allowed some of us to live to work. We had to work all day and night. They thought they were going to be finished forever until someone taught them to fight. The man trained us to get off the camps and smash the cyborgs into junk. He changed everything for us. He kept our civilization from being destroyed. The man who helped us was your son John.”
