Quotes 

• John Connor : Well, I guess when they say you can't fight City Hall, they really mean it.

  Derek Reese : Whoever said that didn't have as much plastic as we do.

  Sarah Connor : We can't blow up City Hall.

  Derek Reese : Oh, it's really not that hard.

• Cameron Phillips : We should be very careful with Vick's chip.

  John Connor : Yeah, that's the understatement of the century.

• John Connor : So how often do you lie?

  Cameron Phillips : When the mission requires it.

  John Connor : Do you lie to me?

  Cameron Phillips : Sometimes.

  John Connor : About important things?

  Cameron Phillips : Yes, important things.

• Cameron Phillips : How much power are you giving the chip?

  John Connor : Uh... We're running at 2.5 volts.

  Cameron Phillips : My CPU requires a minimum of 6.2 and a maximum of 8.7 continuous voltage in order to function properly.

  John Connor : That much juice would burn out any processor I've ever seen.

  Cameron Phillips : Access to visual memory will require less power than higher-level functions.

  John Connor : Higher-level functions?

  Cameron Phillips : Decision-making, strategic mission analysis, we don't wanna activate those functions.

  John Connor : So, crank the juice, but not too much.

  Cameron Phillips : Yes. Crank the juice.

• Cameron Phillips : [about Cromartie]  He's going school to school looking for you. Trying to match your face. He's moved on now. He won't go back there. I wouldn't.

  John Connor : The only way that I am reassured by that is if I remember... that in the core of your chip... you're just like him.

• John Connor : So do we do this a lot in the future? Sneak around in the dark?

  Derek Reese : We do this a lot.

• [John and Derek find the body of a dead woman] 

  John Connor : I was kinda hoping we wouldn't find her.

  [Derek whistles for Cameron and Sarah, then kneels and pulls the woman around] 

  John Connor : That's not Barbara.

  Derek Reese : [checks her ID]  Who the hell's Jessica Peck?

  Cameron Phillips : A threat to Skynet.

• John Connor : How the hell do you keep your brain organized?

  Cameron Phillips : Not like yours.

• [John and Cameron are looking at footage of Vick's "family life"] 

  John Connor : Was that thing... married?

  Cameron Phillips : The T-888 is an advanced model infiltrator.

  John Connor : I-I don't think she... knows. I mean, is that possible?

  Cameron Phillips : She would not be the first human fooled by a machine.

• Derek Reese : [referring to Cameron]  You know, maybe, maybe it's not the Turk that created Skynet. Maybe it's her. Maybe this was her plan all along.

  John Connor : She's a machine. She doesn't have a soul and she never will. You don't have to trust her; you can trust me.

• [John intends to plant a virus into ARTIE with Cameron's chip] 

  Sarah Connor : You can get in through a traffic light?

  John Connor : Yes.

  Sarah Connor : Are you sure?

  John Connor : Nope.

  Sarah Connor : Are *you* sure?

  Cameron Phillips : No.

• [after they've used Cameron's chip to take down ARTIE, Derek unexpectedly picks up the chip] 

  John Connor : Hey, hey, hey, what're you doin'?...

  [Derek gives John a look] 

  John Connor : Derek, don't.

  Derek Reese : I want you to hear this in no uncertain terms. Someday, one of these things is gonna kill you.

  [John takes the chip back] 

  John Connor : It's not gonna be this one.
