Quotes[]
- Riley Dawson: My old foster parents are these '60's hippies. Always talking like they were single-handedly saving the world because they recycled. They called me the deviant. Like, "the deviant got a C in math"; or "should we take the deviant to see Bruce Hornsby"? That's why I came up to you that day, John. Because, I thought since you're a weirdo, you might get me.
- John Connor: My foster parents used to call me the delinquent.
....

- Cameron Phillips: Why?
- Eric: No wheelchair access. (Cameron looks at him, leans over and picks him up) Wh-whoa. You're really strong.
- Cameron Phillips: I work out.
....
- Cameron Phillips: (Looking at herself in the mirror) Do you ever think about dying?
- Eric: What?
- Cameron Phillips: Or about suicide?
- Eric: Why would I think about that?
- Cameron Phillips: Because there's something wrong with you.
....
- Eric: If Stark wanted to take out Chandler, why kill 42 innocent people?
- Cameron Phillips: It happens.
....
- John Connor: Most efficient killing machine ever, you got her doing laundry.
....
- Cameron Phillips: I know what he was looking at. (Cameron scans the sky) He was measuring the stars' radial velocity, the distance in parsecs and the Cartesian coordinates.
- Eric: What? Why?
- Cameron Phillips: To pinpoint the date.
- Eric: You can tell the date by looking at the sky?
- Cameron Phillips: Stellar motion can be used to calculate what the sky will look like for hundreds of years in the future, or the past.
- Eric: Why is the date so important?
- Cameron Phillips: It's not … unless it's the wrong date. Myron Stark was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
