- Cameron Phillips: You bring danger into Riley's life.
- John Connor: I know that. I'm not stupid.
- Cameron Phillips: But sometimes you do stupid things. It would help me to understand why.
- John Connor: Humans do stupid things. So don't worry about it and be happy you're a machine.
- Cameron Phillips: I'm a machine. I can't be happy.
- Cameron Phillips: I understand that being John Connor can be lonely.
- John Connor: Oh yeah? How do you understand that?
- Cameron Phillips: You and I talk about it a lot.
- John Connor: We do?
- Cameron Phillips: We do. We will.
- Cameron Phillips: I'll talk to John.
- Sarah Connor: John's not listening.
- Cameron Phillips: He's always listening.
- James Ellison: It's been watching me.
- Sarah Connor: 'It'?
- James Ellison: Out there. It.
- Sarah Connor: And you still came to Mexico? You could have led it right to John.
- James Ellison: Wasn't me in the trunk.
- Sarah Connor: So what were you gonna do? Just pop him out of jail? Set him free, no questions asked?
- James Ellison: Yes actually. That's exactly what I was going to do.
- Sarah Connor: [scoffs] I have a hard time believing that.
- James Ellison: I owed you one. The fire? Silberman's cabin?
- Sarah Connor: Wasn't much.
- James Ellison: It was my life.
- John Connor: I bought her a helmet.
- Sarah Connor: Responsible. You think it will stop the bullets?
- John Connor: Why, you're gonna take a shot on her?
- Sarah Connor: A lot of bullets fly around here; someone will.
- Cromartie: Your strategy has changed from last time.
- Sarah Connor: Has it?
- Cromartie: The first time we met you tried to kill yourself.
- Sarah Connor: You're right. This time I'm gonna kill you.
- Sarah Connor: How did you find the house?
- Cromartie: The boy told me. The one from the bowling alley. You should have killed him, just like you should have killed yourself.
- Sarah Connor: I'm not a murderer.
- Cromartie: Who is?
- Riley Dawson: People suck.
- John Connor: Not just people.
- Riley Dawson: No, I mean... when you meet someone, you don't... really expect to give a damn about them, right? Who's got the time? Life's too short; people suck. I don't like getting attached to people.
- James Ellison: I'd be grateful for just a visual identification. Help bring me some closure.
- Mexican Police Chief: You have traveled an awful long way for closure.
- James Ellison: If he is who I think he is, I have reason to believe that your prisoner is in danger. And yes, I've come a long way.
- James Ellison: Then what?
- Sarah Connor: There's no 'then what'. Pretend I died again.
- James Ellison: I lost a lot when you "died" the first time - my marriage, my career...
- Sarah Connor: That's a lot to you?
- James Ellison: I suppose many people lost those things.
- Sarah Connor: You want answers?
- James Ellison: I just want to know my role in all of this. What happened after this?
- Sarah Connor: This is it. There's nothing else behind the curtain. This is what I do; it's all I do. You already know why I do it. I'm sorry for what you lost. But I can't help you get any of that back.
