• John Connor : Skynet has Kyle Reese.

  General Ashdown : Then that is his fate.

  John Connor : No, it's our fate. I have to save him. He is the key. The key to the future, to the past. Without him, we lose everything.

  General Ashdown : No, you stay the course!

  John Connor : If we stay the course, we are dead! WE ARE ALL DEAD!

  General Ashdown : As of this moment, soldier, you are relieved of your command. You are no longer a part of this Resistance.

  Barnes : I didn't catch that last statement.

  Comms Officer : Neither did I.

• General Ashdown : Connor, tell me it works.

  John Connor : It works! That is affirmative. The signal works.

  General Ashdown : Good. The attack commences tomorrow at 0400 worldwide. Your unit will be in support of the bombing of Skynet Central.

  John Connor : What is the extraction plan for the prisoners?

  General Ashdown : Extraction plan? There *is* no extraction plan. We're gonna level the place.

  Barnes : Huh?

  John Connor : Negative! I told you, Skynet Central is *filled* with human prisoners!

  General Ashdown : [sternly]  This is war, Connor. Leadership has its costs. You, above all, should know that.
