	Season 2 / Episode 22: - Born to Run Cameron Phillips: You need to understand how it works. John Connor: What? Cameron Phillips: This chip. This body. The software is designed to terminate humans. The hardware is designed to terminate humans. That's our sole function. John Connor: Not you. Cameron Phillips: No. Not anymore. But what was there is still there. It'll always be there. John Connor: So down deep... you want to kill me. Cameron Phillips: Yes. I do. John Connor: And why don't you? Cameron Phillips: I might someday.

	Season 2 / Episode 21: - Adam Raised a Cain Derek Reese: Sorry about Charley. John Connor: Well, everybody dies for me, right?
	Season 2 / Episode 21: - Adam Raised a Cain Cameron Phillips: [after Derek got killed] You miss him. John Connor: Well... there's no use crying about it, is there? I'm sure, future me would beat my ass if I did. Cameron Phillips: Future you knows what it means to lose people you love. It happens to him too.
	Season 2 / Episode 20: - To The Lighthouse Sarah Connor: I'm not here for Charley. John Connor: Okay, then why are we here? Sarah Connor: We're here for you. People matter, John, they're all that matters. Don't ever forget that.
	Season 2 / Episode 20: - To The Lighthouse Charley Dixon: When the perimeter's breached, a siren goes off. I figure I got about 60 seconds to escape by boat. John Connor: Boat can't stop bullets. Charley Dixon: Even if they sink it, I got a chance. Those bastards can't swim. I can.
	Season 2 / Episode 19: - Last Voyage of the Jimmy Carter (2) John Connor: I want to talk to you about the future. Derek Reese: Yours? John Connor: Yours.
	Season 2 / Episode 19: - Last Voyage of the Jimmy Carter (2) John Connor: What do they think of me? In the future, what do people think? 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? Derek Reese: What kind of weapon do I have? John Connor: Your fists. And your elbows. And your fingernails and your teeth. Derek Reese: Against her? Those aren't weapons. John Connor: No, they're not. Derek Reese: You already know the answer to that, John. If she wants me dead, I'm dead. John Connor: She wants you dead, you're dead.
	Season 2 / Episode 19: - Last Voyage of the Jimmy Carter (2) Derek Reese: [of Riley] I'm really sorry, John. She was a good kid, she didn't deserve what happened to her. John Connor: Few people do.
	Season 2 / Episode 19: - Last Voyage of the Jimmy Carter (2) John Connor: We owe Riley the truth, don't you think? We owe the dead that much.
	Season 2 / Episode 19: - Last Voyage of the Jimmy Carter (2) John Connor: You know, I've been running from the machines my whole life. They tried to kill my mom before I was even born. When I was twelve, they sent one after me. I was a kid. I was stupid. I didn't know what it was all about. Both times, future me sent someone back, to stop them. The first time it was a soldier. His name was Kyle Reese, and he died saving my mother's life. Second time it was a machine. I used to wonder why I did that - why I took that chance. I don't wonder anymore. Human beings can't be replaced. They can't be rebuilt. They die and they never come back.
	Season 2 / Episode 19: - Last Voyage of the Jimmy Carter (2) John Connor: [to Jesse] He loves you, you know, Derek. You and me, we're the only things he has in this world - the only things. He's like Riley in that way. See, she made mistakes. Small things, sometimes - a word or a phrase. 'Carrots and apples'. I'm guessing that's yours. When we were in Mexico, she heard my real name; she ignored it. But a man took my picture and she destroyed his camera. She put herself between me and a machine that was hunting me. So one day I realized, she wasn't treating me like John Baum. She was treating me like John Connor.
	Season 2 / Episode 19: - Last Voyage of the Jimmy Carter (2) John Connor: The thing is... this is all my fault. I knew Riley was in trouble. I didn't help her. I should've, but I didn't. I knew what she was. I didn't try to stop her. Jesse: You wanted it to be real. John Connor: Or maybe I wanted to win. Jesse: You don't wanna be John Baum. You wanted to be John Connor. John Connor: That's just the thing, isn't it? I am John Connor.
	Season 2 / Episode 19: - Last Voyage of the Jimmy Carter (2) John Connor: Go... Go. Jesse: Just like that? John Connor: Just like that. If I have to live with this, so do you.
	Season 2 / Episode 19: - Last Voyage of the Jimmy Carter (2) John Connor: I'm sorry I doubted you. Sarah Connor: John... John Connor: No - not you. Her.
	Season 2 / Episode 19: - Last Voyage of the Jimmy Carter (2) Jesse: Would it have worked? John Connor: What? Jesse: The cyborg had murdered the girl, or if I could've made you believe that she had? John Connor: Would I have sent Cameron away, would I have killed her? - No. Jesse: Well - it's a damn shame then. It's a damn waste.
	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) John Connor: Great. It looks like a robot serial killer lives here. I guess one does.
	Season 2 / Episode 18: - Today is the Day (1) John Connor: Was it you? Did you kill her? Cameron Phillips: What if I did? John Connor: Don't play games with me. I need the truth. Cameron Phillips: I didn't kill her. John Connor: I want to believe you. Cameron Phillips: Believe me. John Connor: Sometimes you lie to me. Cameron Phillips: Yes. I do, but I'm not lying now. I am sorry. John Connor: You're sorry? For what? Cameron Phillips: For your loss. John Connor: I really wish I could believe that too.
	Season 2 / Episode 18: - Today is the Day (1) John Connor: [to Riley, in the morgue] I'm sorry...
	Season 2 / Episode 17: - Ourselves Alone Riley Dawson: [about her suicide attempt] It shouldn't have happened here - or, not at all. John Connor: It's in the past. Riley Dawson: People don't forget about the past. John Connor: I'm not saying "forget it." I'm saying... it's in the past.
