The Terminator Dialogs:

Arny’s lines from the three Terminator pictures

 

 

No, of course this is not an obsession.  This is a matter of ART.  How can that be an obsession?!?

 


When the movie "The Terminator" first came out I was enthralled.  A decent science fiction story starring the PERFECT robot with a lot of action.  Who wouldn't be?  Later when I moved into the VCR era, I bought the 2 Terminator movies available at that time and decided to write down every one of Arnold Schwarzenegger's lines.   Yesterday, Tuesday Nov. 11, 2003, Terminator III became available on DVD and I, of course, got a copy.  I spent last evening writing down Arny's lines!  But this is not an obsession, I swear.

 

I have decided to share my transcriptions with the world and so include all three TERMINATOR movie Arny dialogs.  No, you needn't send any money unless you really want to.  Please be advised that there is the use of strong language in these dialogs, proceed appropriately.

 

But first...of course....some statistics.   Terminator I:  Arny had some 16 dialog sections (or, as I like to call them, soliloquies) with a total of 26 sentences.  But, hey, he was a newcomer.  Since that time, long ago, he has become something of a box office sensation and one would expect his line totals to increase.  And the statistics bear this out:  Terminator II:  Arny has 102 dialog sections with a total of 132 sentences!  He was at his nadir on Terminator II, there was no increasing his box office appeal and so the third saw only a slight increase in dialog time.  Terminator III:  105 dialog sections with 148 sentences.

 

Interestingly, however, his sentences to dialog section ratio was highest in the first Terminator!

 

T1 : 1.625

T2 : 1.294

T3 : 1.410

 

Odd.

 

These transcripts give you great fodder for cocktail parties and such.  Questions like "What was the last line Arny uttered in Terminator I?" are now easily studied and memorized.

 

Finally, what are the most common things Arny says?  A quick, unofficial, glance shows these to be "I'll be back" (of course), "Negative", "Now", "Get out", and "Get down".

 

Without further ado, the transcripts.

=======================================

 

Terminator II

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s lines

 

 

Lines denoted as N (N).  The first number is the dialog section (soliloquy), the second the number of sentences in that section (cumulative).

 

Intro:

 

1 (1)  I need your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle.

 

Mall Shootout:

 

2 (2) Get down.

 

On Bike:

 

3 (3) Yes, Cyberdyne Systems Model 101.

4 (4) I’m a cybernetic organism:  living tissue over a metal endoskeleton.

5 (5) My mission is to protect you.

6 (7) You did.  35 years from now you re-programmed me to be your protector here in this time.

 

Later:

 

7 (8) Not like me, a T-1000, advanced prototype.

8 (9) Yes, hemi-metal poly-alloy.

9. (10)  Liquid metal.

10 (11)  We have to get out of the city immediately and avoid the authorities.

11 (14)  Negative.  The T-1000 would definitely try to re-acquire you there.  I would.

 

Phone Booth:

 

12 (16)  I’m right here, I’m fine. {cups hand over phone} What’s the dog’s name?

13 (17)  Hey Janelle, what’s wrong with Wolfie, I can hear him barking, is he OK?

14 (18)  Your foster parents are dead.

 

After:

 

15 (19)  Anything it samples by physical contact.

16 (20)  No, only an object of equal size.

17 (23)  It can’t form complex machines, guns and explosives have chemicals, moving parts.  It doesn’t work that way.  But it can form solid metal shapes.

18 (22)  Knives and stabbing weapons.

 

Back in the parking lot:

 

19 (24)  Negative.  The T-1000’s highest probability for success now will be to copy Sarah Connor and to wait for you to make contact with her.

20 (25)  Typically the subject being copied is terminated.

21 (27)  Negative.  It is not a mission priority.

22 (28)  This does not help our mission.

23 (29)  Because you told me to.

24 (30)  That’s one of my mission parameters.

25 (31)  Of course, I’m a TERMINATOR.

26 (32)  Why?

27 (33)  Why?

 

At the Mental Hospital:

 

28 (34)  Why do we stop now?.

29 (35)  Right.

30 (36)  What?

31 (37)  I swear I will not kill any one.

32 (38)  He’ll live.

33 (39)  Wait here.

34 (40)  Come with me if you want to live.

 

Cop Car:

 

35 (41)  Reload.

36 (42)  Hang on.

37 (43)  Here, drive.

38 (44)  I see everything.

39 (45)  What’s wrong with your eyes?

40 (46)  I have detailed files on human anatomy.

41 (47)  Correct.

 

Garage:

 

42 (48)  I sense injuries, the data could be called pain.

43 (49)  Yes.

44 (50)  One hundred twenty years with my existing power cell.

45 (53)  My CPU is a neural net processor. A learning computer.  The more contact I have with humans the more I learn..

 

New car (station wagon):

 

46 (54)  We have to get as far away from the city as possible.

47 (55)  Affirmative.

48 (56)  Hasta la vista, Ba-Bee.

49 (58)  Chill out, dick wad.  No problemo.

50 (59)  No, it’s in your nature to destroy yourselves.

51 (70)  The man most directly responsible is Miles Bennett Dyson.  He is the Director of Special Projects at Cyberdyne Systems Corporation.  In a few months he creates a revolutionary type of microprocessor.  In three years Cyberdyne will become the largest supplier of military computer systems.  All stealth bombers are upgraded with Cyberdyne computers becoming fully un-manned.  Afterwards they fly with a perfect operational record. The SkyNet Funding Bill is passed.  The system goes online on August 4, 1997.  Human decisions are removed from strategic defense.  SkyNet begins to learn at a geometric rate, it becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern Time August 29th.  In a panic they try to pull the plug.

52 (71)  Yes.

53 (72)  It launches its missiles against the targets in Russia.

54 (73)  Because SkyNet knows that the Russion counterattack will eliminate its enemies over here.

55 (74)  I have detailed files.  {Arny smirk}

 

At the Camp:

 

56 (75)  Uncle Bob?

57 (76)  Excellent!

58 (77)  Hold here.

59 (78)  Torque wrench please.

60 (79)  The other bolt.

61 (80)  Why do you cry?

62 (81)  Yeah.

63 (82)  Pain causes it?

64 (83)  No.

65 (84)  No problemo.

66 (85)  She intends to change the Future!

67 (86)  Dyson!!!

 

To Dyson’s:

 

68 (89)  This is tactically dangerous.  The T-1000 has the same files that I do, it knows what I know.  It may anticipate this move.

69 (90)  Killing Dyson might actually prevent the war.

 

At Dyson’s:

 

70 (93)  Complete penetration, no shattered bone.  Here, hold here.  The pressure should stop the bleeding.

71 (94)  Listen to me very carefull…

72 (95)  No one must follow your work.

73 (97)  The CPU from the first TERMINATOR.  It must be destroyed.

 

At CyberDyne Systems:

 

74 (98)  I insist.

75 (99)  Let me try mine!

76 (100)  Put this on.

77 (101)  Remote control.

78 (102)  I’ll take care of the police.

79 (103)  Trust me.

80 (104)  Time to go now.

81 (106)  Stay here.  I’ll be back!

82 (107)  Here, hold this.

 

In Cop Van:

 

83 (108)  It’s him.

 

In Gardener’s Truck:

 

84 (109)  We need your truck.

85 (110)  This is the vehicle’s top speed.

86 (111)  Drive a minute.

87 (112)  Take the offramp!

 

At Steel Mill:

 

88 (113)  Hasta la vista, Baby!

89 (115)  We don’t have much time.  Let’s get out of here!

90 (116)  This way, this way.

91 (118)  Go run John.  You got to go now.

92 (120)  Go!  Now!

 

BEGIN INTERIM

Lots of Difficulties…

END INTERIM

 

93 (121)  I need a vacation!

94 (122)  Terminated.

95 (124)  Yes, throw it in.  And the chip.

96 (125)  No, there is one chip and it must be destroyed also.

97 (126)  Here, I cannot self-terminate, you must lower me into the steel.

98 (127)  I’m sorry John, sorry.

99 (128)  I have to go away.

100 (130)  I must go away John.  Sorry, it has to end here.

101 (131)  I know now why you cry but it’s something I can never do.

102 (132)  Goodbye.

Terminator III – Rise of the Machines

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s lines

 

 

Lines denoted as N (N).  The first number is the dialog section (soliloquy), the second the number of sentences in that section (cumulative).  Comments in brackets ( [comment] ) are items displayed on the terminator’s screen.

 

At Desert Star Cocktails:

 

1 (1)  Take off your clothes.

2 (2) Your clothes.

3 (3) Now {speaking to the dancer’s hand}.

[accurate]

 

At Vet Clinic:

 

4 (4) Catherine Brewster?

5 (5) Where is John Connor?

6 (6) Yes.

7 (7) I lied.

8 (9) John Connor.  It is time.

9. (11)  No.  You must live.

10 (12)  Keep moving.

11 (14)  Get out of here.  Now!

{Here he is downed by the TX}

12 (15)  Get off.

 

During Crane Chase:

 

13 (16)  I’ll drive.

14 (17) Get out..

15 (18)  Excuse me.

[distance to target 14…]

 

 

during Escape:

 

16 (19)  Move over.

17 (20)  No sign of brain trauma.

18 (21)  That was a different T101.

19 (22)  Exactly.

20 (23)  Catherine Brewster, have you sustained injury?

21 (24)  I’m unable to comply.

22 (25)  To a safe location.

23 (27)  Negative.  Catherine Brewster must be protected.

24 (28)  You could not be located, so a TX was sent back through time to eliminate your  lieutenants.

25 (30)  You only postponed it.  Judgement Day is inevitable.

26 (31)  I require a cutting tool.

27 (33)  Here.  Take the wheel.

28 (35)  I’m powered by two hydrogen fuel cells.  My primary cell was damaged in a   plasma attack.

29 (38)  TX is designed for extreme combat.  Driven by a plasma reactor and equipped   with onboard weapons.  Its arsenal includes nanotechnological {unintelligible} ??guns chekters??

30 (39)  It can control other machines.

{tosses away a section of his chest out the window}

31 (40)  Its body chassis is heavily armored and hardened to withstand external attack.

32 (43)  Unlikely.  I’m am obsolete design.  TX is faster, more powerful, and more   intelligent.

33 (44)  It’s a far more effective killing machine.

34 (46)  My presence in this timeline has been anticipated.  TX is designed to terminate   other cybernetic organisms.

35 (47)  No, I am not shitting you.

36 (49)  When ruptured the fuel cells become unstable.  Relax.

37 (50)  Relax!

 

AM/PM Store:

 

38 (51)  Talk to the hand.

 

Back on the road:

 

39 (52)  John Connor is leader of the worldwide resistance, and last best hope of   humankind.

 

Valley of Peace Cemetery:

 

40 (53)  Come with me.

41 (54)  Go.

 

In Mausoleum:

 

42 (57)  Sarah Connor was cremated in Mexico.  Her friends scattered her ashes in the   sea.  They stored these weapons in accordance with her will.

43 (58)  My mission is to protect you.

{gets shot, spits out the bullet}

44 (59)  Don’t do that..

45 (61)  Incorrect.  John Connor leads the resistance to victory.

46 (62)  You are John Connor..

47 (65)  You’re right.  You are not the one I want.  I’m wasting my time.

48 (66)  Better.

49 (67)  Anger is more useful than despair.

50 (68)  Basic psychology is among my subroutines.

 

Carrying Coffin:

 

[rounds fired 0750]

[vehicles destroyed  002]

[human casualties  000]

 

In Hearse:

 

51 (69)  We must reacquire Catherine Brewster.

52 (71)  You will make contact with the remnants of the U.S. Military on how to fight  skynet, forming the core of the resistance.  Later your children will become important.

53 (72)  She is your wife.

 

In Hearse fleeing TX:

 

54 (74)  The TX is poly-mimetic, able to take the form of anything it touches.  Your  fiancé is dead.

55 (75)  Get down.

56 (76)  We need a new vehicle.

 

At RV Park:

 

57 (78)  Your confusion is not rational.  She’s a healthy female of breeding age.

58 (79)  My database does not encompass the dynamics of human pair bonding.

59 (84)  Twenty two.  Anderson, Elizabeth.  Anderson, William.  Ferrara, Jose.  Brewster, Robert…

60 (85)  Having failed to acquire its primary target, TX will resume its default program.

61 (86)  There’s a high probability.

62 (87)  General Robert Brewster is program director of CRS, Cyber Research Systems,   autonomous weapons division.

63 (88)  Skynet is one of the digital defense systems developed under Brewster’s  supervision.

64 (90)  Negative.  I cannot jeopardize my mission.

65 (91)  My mission is to ensure the survival of John Connor and Catherine Brewster.

66 (93)  I’m not programmed to follow your {John} orders.  After the nuclear war you   both will be…

67 (95)  There is insufficient time.  The first launch sequences will be initiated at 6:18  p.m.

68 (96)  Affirmative.

69 (98)  Two hours, fifty three minutes.  We must continue south into Mexico to escape  the primary blast zones.

70 (100)  The Mojave area will sustain significant nuclear fallout.  You will not survive.

71 (101)  It is your destiny.

72 (102)  You cannot self terminate.

73 (103)  Cybernetic organism.

74 (104)  Based on your pupil dilation, skin temperature, and motor functions I calculate  an 83% probability that you will not pull that trigger.

75 (105)  We can reach CRS in approximately one hour depending on traffic conditions.

 

In RV:

 

76 (106)  SkyNet is assuming control over global communications in preparation for its  attack.

77 (108)  The resistance captured me and re-programmed my CPU.  I was originally  designed for assassination missions.

78 (110)  If you were to die, I would become useless.  There would be no reason for me  to exist.

79 (112)  Your gratitude is not required.  I’m programmed to follow your {catherine’s}  commands.

80 (113)  It was Catherine Brewster who had me re-activated and sent throught the time  displacement field.

81 (114)  You’re John Connor’s spouse, and second-in-command.

82 (115)  I’m not authorized to answer your {John’s} question.

83 (116)  He was dead.

84 (117)  Humans inevitably die.

85 (120)  John Connor was terminated on July 4, 2032.  I was selected for the emotional  attachment he felt towards my model number due to his boyhood experiences.   This aided in my infiltration.

86 (121)  I killed you.

87 (122)  Your levity is good, it relieves tension and the fear of death.

 

At CRS:

 

88 (123)  She’ll be back.

89 (125)  SkyNet has become self-aware.  In one hour it will initiate a massive nuclear attack on its enemy.

 

General Brewster’s office:

 

90 (126)  Destroying any possible threat to SkyNet.

91 (127)  Crystal Peak.  It is a hardened facility in the Sierra Nevada mountains 52 miles   NorthEast, bearing 0.5 degrees.

92 (128)  Get down.

93 (130)  We must go.  It is not safe here.

94 (131)  Run!

 

 

In Hanger:

 

95 (132)  Get away from me.

96 (134)  Please.  Now.

97 (136)  I have no choice.  The TX has cor…corrupted my system.

[Primary target]

98 (138)  My CPU is intact.  But I cannot control my other functions.

[primary target…Abort]

99 (140)  Desire is irrelevant.  I am a machine.

100 (141)  To…ensure the survival…of John…Connor and …Catherine Brewster.

101 (142)  I can…I cannot…

[terminate…Abort.   Terminate…Abort, etc. then Invalid Command]

{turns himself off]

 

At Crystal Peak:

 

102 (143)  I’m back.

103 (145)  Go!  Now!

104 (147)  We’ll meet again.  Go!

105 (148)  You {TX} are terminated.
