Derek Reese: Well - if you're asking if... people agree... with everything you do, of course not. If you're asking if everybody loves you... Love's a lot to ask for. You can't do what you do and... expect everybody to agree - or to love you. John Connor: And what is it that I do? Derek Reese: You lead. John Connor: And they follow? Derek Reese: We follow. We rise or... fall on your shoulders. Humanity rises... or falls. But we're always watching. John Connor: For me to make a mistake? Derek Reese: For you to be human.
	Season 2 / Episode 19: - Last Voyage of the Jimmy Carter (2) John Connor: How long do you think you could survive? With Cameron? If she wanted to kill you, face to face?

He was like my brother, and I loved him. But it turns out I never really... knew him. His real name was Andy - Goode. And back here in this world he created a computer program, the program that becomes Skynet. So Andy Goode is dead. And Billy Wisher is dead too. Because I killed him. I came back here, and I killed him. He was my brother. And I loved him and I killed him. And I did it for Kyle... and John, and I did it for you.
	Season 2 / Episode 19: - Last Voyage of the Jimmy Carter (2) Derek Reese: I don't even know you. I don't know who... you are. Jesse: I'm Jesse. I'm Jesse!

	Season 2 / Episode 19: - Last Voyage of the Jimmy Carter (2) John Connor: Did you do it? Did you kill her? Derek Reese: John Connor let her go.
	Season 2 / Episode 18: - Today is the Day (1) Derek Reese: What happened? Jesse: I told you, I got in a fight. Derek Reese: With four naval aviators. Jesse: Really just three. One of them went down pretty quick.
	Season 2 / Episode 18: - Today is the Day (1) Jesse: What're you gonna do? Derek Reese: About the metal? Jesse: What're you gonna do? 'Cause you can't kill her, Derek. Derek Reese: What? Jesse: That's not something you can do. He has to make that decision on his own. Derek Reese: [after a pause] You've really thought this through. Jesse: No. - But I think about it. Just like you do.
	Season 2 / Episode 18: - Today is the Day (1) Derek Reese: Aim for the chip - aim for the chip, they don't get up.
	Season 2 / Episode 18: - Today is the Day (1) Derek Reese: I think about Riley. What the cyborg did to her. Jesse: It's a terrible thing. But, um... if John realizes what the metal is, what it really does... maybe some good can come of it. Maybe you can help him see that. Derek Reese: Good? An innocent kid is dead - because that metal bitch murdered her in cold blood; no good... comes out of that - none, not ever.
	Season 2 / Episode 17: - Ourselves Alone Derek Reese: I want you to help me with something. Jesse: Didn't I just help you with something? This morning in the shower?
	Season 2 / Episode 15: - Desert Cantos Cameron Phillips: Native-Americans believe that when their pictures are taken, their souls are stolen and locked in the photograph forever. Derek Reese: I think you're safe.
	Season 2 / Episode 15: - Desert Cantos Derek Reese: You called me 'Reese' again. That's what you used to call him, isn't it? Kyle? Maybe you should try and let him go. Sarah Connor: Maybe you should.
	Season 2 / Episode 15: - Desert Cantos Cameron Phillips: [about Zoe] She hasn't looked at her father's picture since we've been here - not once. Neither has her mother. Derek Reese: Yeah, and? Cameron Phillips: If you had a photo of Kyle Reese, you'd look at it, wouldn't you? - Maybe there's something I don't understand. John Connor: He's not dead. Derek Reese: That's a big leap. John Connor: Lemme repeat what she said: if you had a photo of your brother, would you or would you not look at it? Derek Reese: He's not dead. Cameron Phillips: We should find him before he is.
	Season 2 / Episode 12: - Alpine Fields Lauren: It was my fault; I used the phone. I called a friend - Roger. I guess... I needed to feel normal, you know? Like a person. Derek Reese: So you broke the rules. Lauren: Yeah... And rule number one is - there is no normal.
	Season 2 / Episode 12: - Alpine Fields General Perry: Once exposed, there's no way to know how long you've got. Could be four hours till the symptoms hit, twenty before the bug kills you. This could be a one-way trip. Derek Reese: We're all one-way trips.
	Season 2 / Episode 12: - Alpine Fields Derek Reese: Whoa, hey, easy, easy, easy - Sarah Connor sent me, okay? I'm here to help. Lauren: Sorry. I thought... Derek Reese: I know what you thought. You'd be dead already.
	Season 2 / Episode 12: - Alpine Fields Lauren: You sound so... used to all this. Derek Reese: You don't get used to it. You live through it.
	Season 2 / Episode 10: - Strange Things Happen at the One Two Point Derek Reese: I came here to fight a war. To do whatever it takes to stop Skynet - now, today. If we're gonna do this, there's no more room for secrets. If there is anything that you haven't told me, I need to hear it now. Jesse: Remember when we were stationed at Serrano Point? That whole time... I was using your toothbrush. Derek Reese: The one in my mess can? Jesse: M-hm. Derek Reese: I wasn't using that to brush my teeth.
	Season 2 / Episode 10: - Strange Things Happen at the One Two Point Sarah Connor: It all adds up: the dots, the AI, the air force, the chip... Derek Reese: They're nothing. Listen to yourself. First it's the dots, then the AI, now it's the chip. Whatever you've needed it to be, that's what it is. You got played, it happens. Welcome to the human race.
	Season 2 / Episode 9: - Complications Derek Reese: What did he do? Jesse, what did he do to you? Jesse: There was a raid on a bunker. Metal was everywhere. They took out our command, killed everyone over thirty, killed the children... They took the prisoners to this... place. He was there... He said he was gonna teach them how to talk to people, how to get information from people, how to beat people... It was a kind of perverse theatre, like... like he was teaching them. Derek Reese: How long did it go on? Jesse: Weeks... months... There were drugs... and starvation. And he'd talk to you... for hours, for days. Just to break you down. Just to get you in a... to get to you. Derek Reese: How'd you get out? Jesse: I don't know. You never told me. Derek Reese: What? Jesse: It wasn't me Fisher had, baby. It was you.
	Season 2 / Episode 9: - Complications Derek Reese: Maybe... maybe it never happened to me. Jesse: Derek - I was there! Derek Reese: Maybe I came... from a future where it never happened, and now you've come from a future where it did. Jesse: Is that... possible? Derek Reese: Since I've been back here, I've- I've done... things, I've changed... things... Maybe I changed the future. That's why we're here, isn't it, to change the future? Jesse: Do you think there's a version of the future where we're not together? Derek Reese: No.
