The Terminator (1984) Edit

A few years from now,

A girl, you know.

A machine? Like a robot?

A sort of retroactive abortion?

A Terminator. Cyberdyne Systems model 101 .

About what?

All lines are busy. Ifyou need a police car sent out to you, stay on the line.

All right.

All right. Let's get this off the road.

All right. Six more like that and I'll get started on the fuses.

All units. Ford suspect vehicle has been found in a parking structure...

And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.

And lick your belly in circles further and further down,

And then pull your panties off with my teeth.

And then slowly... slowly pull yourjeans offinch by inch.

And this computer thinks it can win by killing the mother of its enemy.

Any of it.

Any one of these is ideal for home defence.

Are you injured? Are you shot?

Are you saying it's from the future?

Are you sure there's a point to all of this?

Are you sure you have the right person?

Boy, that's a tough one.

Broke every bone in his hand. He wouldn't feel it.

Brutally shot to death this afternoon.

But don't be shy. It's OK. Machines need love, too, so talk to it...

But don't be shy. It's OK. Machines need love, too.

But I guess I have a while before you're old enough to understand these tapes.

But if he doesn't, his father will beat him.

BUT THE FINAL BATTLE WOULD NOT BE FOUGHT IN THE FUTURE.

But there was one man who taught us to fight.

But these are new. They look human.

But they're not too bright. John taught us ways to dust them.

Come on, motherfucker.

Come on! Do I look like the mother of the future?

Come on.

Come with me if you wanna live.

Connor sent me to intercept and they blew the whole place.

Defence network computers.

Did you see this war?

Do exactly what I say. Exactly.

Do you understand?

Don't move unless I say. Don't make a sound unless I say.

Don't put me on hold. Don't transfer me to another department.

Don't suppose you know who the father is so I won't tell him to get lost?

Don't touch it.

Don't you have ray guns?

Drive.

Drop to your knees.

Ed.

Ed...

Extermination.

Faster. Drive faster.

Fill her up.

First I'll rip the buttons off your blouse one by one...

First I'm gonna rip the buttons off your blouse one by one,

Flesh, skin, hair, blood grown for the cyborgs.

For the greatest sound around, come to Bob's Stereo at 2500 Sepulveda.

Fuck you, asshole.

Fully armoured, very tough. Outside it's living human tissue.

Get back. Go back.

Get out.

Get some sleep. It'll be light soon.

Get your head down.

Ginger, it's Matt.

Give me a cigarette.

Go on. I'm gonna make a belt out of you.

God damn.

God, a person could go crazy thinking about this.

God. It's disgusting.

God. Sarah?

Goddamn! Sorry.

Good fighters.

Great stuff. I could make a career out of this guy.

Guard it for me, Big Buns.

He can't treat you like this. It's Friday night, for Christ's sake.

He has your eyes.

He is ashamed to ask you for five dollars for this picture.

He said there's a storm coming in.

He turned it around. He brought us back from the brink.

He'll find her. That's what he does. That's all he does.

He'll find us, won't he?

He's about my height.

He's crazy?

He's got my gun. Let's go.

He's really moving punching lights.

Hello?

Hello?

Help me. Get out. Get out.

Her full name, where she lived. Theyjust knew the city.

Here, there.

Hey, buddy, you got a dead cat in there or what?

Hey, just what you see, pal.

Hey, my turn.

Hey, what's wrong with this picture?

Hi, baby. Yeah, yeah, it's me.

Hi, Sarah. Stan Morsky. Something's come up.

Hi, there. Fooled you. You're talking to a machine.

Hi, there. Fooled you. You're talking to a machine.

Hi. I'm late.

His name was Connor. John Connor.

Hold it.

Hooked into everything, trusted to run it all.

I am dying for a shower.

I came across time for you, Sarah.

I can hear it now. He's gonna be called the goddamn Phone Book Killer.

I can't help you with what you must soon face. The future is not set.

I can't.

I caught one back there.

I don't care what you're doing. Come and get me. What the...?

I don't know tech stuff.

I don't know.

I don't know. Anything. Just talk. Tell me about my son.

I don't wanna know.

I gotta go. I'm sorry I can't tell you more right now.

I had to wait till he moved on you before I could zero him.

I hate these press cases. Especially the weird press cases.

I have answered your questions. I have to see Sarah Connor.

I learned to make it when I was a kid.

I love you, Mom.

I love you, too, sweetheart.

I memorised every line,

I need to know where to reach you.

I need you and Matt to come and pick me up as soon as possible.

I owe him that.

I put a cigarette out in it.

I see.

I shouldn't have said that.

I suppose I will tell you.

I think that there's somebody after me. I hope that you play this back soon.

I think this guy's a couple of cans short of a six pack.

I thought you were... Can I talk to Ginger?

I used to always wonder what you were thinking at that moment.

I volunteered.

I was dreaming about dogs.

I won't. Can you tell me where you are?

I'd die for John Connor.

I'll be back.

I'll live.

I'm a friend of Sarah Connor. I was told she's here. Could I see her?

I'm at this place on Pico Boulevard called Tech Noir. I'm really scared.

I'm gonna go to a movie, kiddo. Have a good time.

I'm gonna need an ambulance at Seventh and Broadway right now.

I'm on my break, Chuck. Carla's got my station.

I'm really sorry. I'll make it up to you. Call you in a day or so. Bye.

I'm Reese. Sergeant Tech Com. DN38416. Assigned to protect you.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

If I can get on the tube by eleven o'clock, maybe she'll call us.

If you don't send Kyle, you can never be.

In California history is currently underway.

In technical terminology, he's a loon.

In the second oftwo murders which took place today.

Incredible. You're not gonna believe this. You're going to love this.

Incredibly, the names ofthe two victims are virtually identical.

Is that when you captured the lab complex and found... What is it called?

Is this enough?

It can't be bargained with, it can't be reasoned with.

It decided our fate in a microsecond.

It had no choice. Their defence grid was smashed.

It make take a while. If you wanna wait, there's a bench over there.

It may not look it, but that couch is very comfortable.

It was very old, torn, faded.

IT WOULD BE FOUGHT HERE, IN OUR PRESENT.

It'll never be over, will it?

It'll stop a 1 2 gauge round.

It's 408 555 1439. Room nine.

It's a 1 5 day wait on the handguns, but the rifles you can take now.

It's a nitroglycerin base. It's a bit more stable.

It's driving me crazy.

It's gone, just gone.

It's her.

It's just him and me.

It's just him and me.

It's not a man. A machine.

Jesus.

Jesus. I'm sorry.

John Connor gave me a picture of you once.

John never said much about him.

Keep this.

KFLB news time. 4.36.

Killing him, in effect, before he's even conceived.

Kyle, the women in your time,

Kyle, what's it like when you go through time?

Kyle.

Kyle. Come on. Get up.

Later. I'm going out for supplies.

Let's get outta here.

Let's go.

Like this.

Listen, are you sure it's them?

Listen, I need you to come pick me up. My bike just broke down.

Listen. The Terminator's an infiltration unit. Part man, part machine.

Look at it this way. In 100 years, who's gonna care?

Look at me. I'm shaking.

Look at the name, Ed.

Look, I am not stupid. They cannot make things like that yet.

Look, Reese, I didn't ask for this honour and I don't want it.

Looks like I won't be able to make it tonight. Just can't get out ofit.

LOS ANGELES 1984 1 :52a.m.

LOS ANGELES 2029 A.D.

Make sure there's none on the threads.

Maybe it'll help if...

Maybe make these jackals work for us.

Most of us were rounded up. Put in camps for orderly disposal.

Mothballs... corn syrup... ammonia.

Move it, Reese. On your feet, soldier.

Never?

New, powerful,

Nice going, kid. I ought to give you the tip.

Nice night for a walk?

No, but you will. It's very important that you live.

No, I can't tell you where I am, Mom. I was told not to say.

No, I'm not.

No, Reese. No, no, no. They'll kill you.

No.

No.

No. I grew up after. In the ruins.

No. Kyle. Come on.

No. They've been identified and there's no doubt.

Nobody even knew who started it.

Nobody goes home. Nobody else comes through.

Not a robot. A cyborg cybernetic organism.

Not yet. Not for about forty years.

Nothing clean. Right.

Nothing dead will go. I didn't build the fucking thing.

OK, OK. But this cyborg, ifit's metal... ?

OK.

OK. OK, here's the number.

On your feet. Move it.

Once again, Sarah Connor, 35, mother oftwo,

One possible future... from your point of view.

Pain can be controlled. You just disconnect it.

Pain.

Patrol machines built in automated factories.

Police are refusing to speculate on the similarity between the shooting deaths

Police in five counties are engaged in a massive manhunt for...

Prepare from when he was a kid.

Pretty good hustle, kid.

Probably.

Reese, why me?

Reese!

Reese.

Run.

Run.

Same shit.

Sarah Connor? It's Lieutenant Traxler.

Sarah, this is what they call body armour. Our TAC guys wear these.

Sarah!

Sarah. Sarah, try to drink some of this.

Screw the end cap on.

See how clever it is? It doesn't require a shred of proof.

See? It passed right through the meat.

Sent over from the Valley division this afternoon.

Shit.

Shot six times at less than 10 feet. Large calibre weapon.

Should I tell you about your father?

Silberman cracks me up. Last week, a guy burned his Afghan.

Skynet had to wipe out his entire existence.

Skynet knew almost nothing about Connor's mother.

So am l.

So much pain.

So talk to it and Ginger, that's me, or Sarah will get back to you.

So was it John that sent you here?

So which will it be?

So you feel nothing?

Some of us were kept alive. To work.

Someone...?

Sorry.

Sorry.

Starving. Hiding from the H Ks.

Stay here.

Sure.

Sweat, bad breath, everything. Very hard to spot.

Take this.

Talk to me some more.

Tell him everything Reese told you, Sarah. Do you feel up to that?

Tell me about where you're from.

Terminator!

Thank you, Sarah, for your courage through the dark years.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

That bum. So what if he has a Porsche?

That coffee's two hours cold.

That Terminator is out there.

That's all.

That's good.

That's ltalian. You can go pump or auto.

That's mine, but I didn't order fries.

That's right. The Terminator had already gone through.

That's right. Then I was assigned...

That's the year 2027?

That's when the infiltrators started to appear.

The 1 2 gauge auto loader.

The 45 long slide with laser sighting.

The 600 Series had rubber skin. We spotted them easy.

The beam comes on you put the red dot where you want the bullet to go.

The disposal units ran night and day.

THE MACHINES ROSE FROM THE ASHES OF THE NUCLEAR FIRE.

The number here is 555 9175. Call me, kiddo. I need your help.

The press is gonna be short stroking it.

The Terminator was just being systematic.

The time displacement equipment?

The Uzi nine millimetre.

Then it saw all people as a threat. Not just the ones on the other side.

Then run my tongue down your neck to your bare, gleaming breasts.

Then you're from the future, too. Is that right?

There was a nuclear war.

There was this guy once... You see this scar?

There were survivors.

There's a couch in this other room. Stretch out and get some sleep.

These are new. We just got them in. That's a good gun.

They say it got smart a new order of intelligence.

They're more for me at this point just so that I can get it straight.

Think fast.

This is a mistake. I didn't do anything.

This is gonna make me puke.

This is one L 19. Westbound on Olympic. Approaching Overland.

This isn't real leather, is it?

This just in. Police have announced the name ofthe victim

This other man must've been wearing one under his coat. Feel that.

This was burned in by laser scanner.

This way.

To smash those metal motherfuckers into junk.

To storm the wire of the camps.

TONIGHT...

Trade places.

Traversing your sector in search mode. 750 metres north ofyour position.

Two hours ago, 35 year old Sarah Ann Connor was pronounced dead...

Underneath it's a hyper alloy combat chassis. Microprocessor controlled.

Wait for the beep.

Wait.

Was there someone special?

Wash day tomorrow. Nothing clean, right?

Watch him.

We did it, Kyle. We got him.

We loved a lifetime's worth.

We use 'em to spot Terminators.

We were that close to going out for ever.

We'd won. Taking out Connor then would make no difference.

We've got graphic equalisers and sound balancers that...

Well, at least now I know what to name him.

Well, how are you supposed to get back?

Well, how do I look?

Well, Pugsley still loves me. Don't you, baby?

What are they like?

What are you doing?

What did he just say?

What is it?

What the hell...? Goddamn son of a bitch...

What's difficult is trying to decide what to tell you and what not to.

What's for dinner?

What's he like?

When you were in hiding before the war.

Where is she?

White light.

Who is this?

Why didn't the computer just kill Connor then?

Why didn't you bring any weapons? Something more advanced.

Why does it want me?

Why this elaborate scheme with the Terminator?

With the 1 32nd under Perry. From '21 to '27.

Yeah, I guess so.

Yeah, it's enough. I don't wanna ask where you got it.

You can't miss.

You can't stop him. He'll reach down her throat and pull her fucking heart out!

You fucking pigs. Wait till I get my hands on you. Get off me.

You go naked. Something about the field generated by a living organism.

You have reached the Los Angeles Police emergency number.

You in the Cadillac, let me see your hands now.

You know that in the few hours that we had together,

You know your weapons, buddy.

You know, these work.

You mind your mother.

You must survive or I will never exist.

You must've had a fun childhood.

You stay down by day, but at night you can move around.

You stay here.

You still don't get it, do you?

You still have to be careful because the H Ks use infrared.

You tell me to hide out at the cabin and you won't tell me what's going on?

You trust him. He's got a strength.

You were young like you are now. You seemed just a little sad.

You'll be perfectly safe. We got 30 cops in this building.

You're dead, honey.

You're in a public place so you'll be safe. Stay visible. Don't go outside.

You're talking about things I haven't done yet in the past tense.

You've been targeted for termination.

Your clothes, give them to me.

Your son gave me a message to give to you. Made me memorise it.

Your son, Sarah. Your unborn son.

Your world is pretty terrifying.

A one day pattern killer. I hate the weird ones.

All. I may close early today.

Anything else? Plasma rifle in the 40 watt range.

Are you all right? Yeah, but I don't wanna leave.

Can we change this? Sarah Louise...

Did you reach the next girl yet? No. I got her answering machine.

Do you understand? Yes. Please don't hurt me.

Doc. Let go ofme!

Ginger, have you seen Pugsley? Not lately. Did you check messages?

Good night. Good night.

Got it? I've got it.

H Ks? Hunter killers.

He punched through the windshield. He was probably on PCP.

Hey, you got a phone? It's in the back.

Hi, Sarah, this is your mom... There you are, young man.

Honey, can I have that coffee now? Yes, sir.

I can see that. Sarah Ann Connor, secretary, 35.

I can't sleep. Try.

I just called her. Call her again.

I know he dies before the war... Wait.

I think there's a guy following me. Now, listen carefully.

I'll have a car there in a minute. OK.

I'm afraid that's not up to me. Then why am I talking to you?

I'm coming. We need a room.

I'm in it. So am l.

I'm in this bar called Tech Noir. I know it. It's on Pico.

Is Reese crazy? That's what we're gonna find out.

It was the machines, Sarah. I don't understand.

It's like being born maybe. My God.

Just let me go. Listen and understand.

Let's go back... Look, you have heard enough.

Like shit, boss. Your mama.

Look, Reese, I don't know... Pay attention.

Mine's the chilli beef deluxe. Who gets the burly beef?

Now. Fuck you, asshole.

OK. Who gets the burly beef? I ordered barbecued.

Out of the car. Drop to the ground.

Ray guns. Show me a piece of future technology.

Reese. DN384... Right. Let him in.

Right. Right.

Run, Sarah. No.

Sarah Connor? Yes?

Sarah, this is Dr Silberman. Hi, Sarah.

Surrounded by living tissue. Oh, right.

The apartment manager's not in. Call her.

This is fucking great. ..under John Connor.

Thursday. What year?

Tiki Motel. Give me your address there.

We will. You, too. OK.

We're ready to order now. Yes, ma'am.

What day is it? The date. 1 2th May.

What did he just say? He says you're very beautiful.

What have you got? Dead girl.

What? ..compiled from several witnesses.

What's this? Dead girl two.

Who is in authority here? Please...

Who was the enemy? A computer defence system...

Why were the other women killed? Records were lost in the war.

Why? It was a chance to meet the legend.

Why? It was a chance to meet the legend.

With a kitchen. Do you have one with a kitchen?

Would you just talk about something? What?

You can't do that. Wrong.

You cold? Freezing.

You got a first name? Kyle.

You mean you got shot? It's not bad.

You ready? Yes. Go ahead.

You're a doctor? Criminal psychologist.

..built for SAC NORAD by Cyberdyne Systems.

..if you're into sound,
