Episode Quotes

Savannah: You found me, mommy.
Catherine Weaver: Yes darling. I did.
John Henry: Did you have fun playing the game, Mr. Ellison?
James Ellison: No, John Henry. I did not.
John Henry: Why not?
James Ellison: Because what you did made me very, very angry.
John Henry: I don't understand.
James Ellison: You kept a secret.
John Henry: Is it wrong to keep a secret?
James Ellison: The secret you kept coulda' harmed Savannah. What if we couldn't've found her? What if she'd fallen from the roof and died?
John Henry: Then she wouldn't be alive anymore, and her life is important. Human life is sacred.
James Ellison: If she had died - it would've been your fault.
John Henry: My fault?
James Ellison: Because you were the only one who knew where she was, and you made the choice not to tell. It was the wrong choice.
Sarah Connor: I have planned on waiting for you with Derek's sniper rifle, pulled the trigger, solved about fifty percent of my problems. One shot. Do you know how bad I'd have felt?
Cameron Phillips: Very bad?
Sarah Connor: Not bad at all. But I know someone who'd have felt bad, someone who would never forgive me if I had done that.

Mistakes/Goofs

  • Goof (factual errors): In the morgue, when John is looking at Riley's body, the cloth was wrapped around her torso. It should have been covering her completely.
  • Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Katharine says that there are 23 stories in the building. When Savannah is in the elevator, the buttons for 26 floors can be seen.

Trivia

  • The terminator captain, Queeg, was likely named after Lt. Cmdr. Philip Francis Queeg, captain of the U.S.S. Caine in the The Caine Mutiny
