Quotes

 * Sarah Connor: My son thinks I'm crazy, maybe not crazy, maybe that's the wrong word. But he doubts me, he's never doubted me before.

....
 * James Ellison: Who taught you how to play chess?
 * John Henry: I did.
 * James Ellison: Did you play with Doctor Sherman?
 * John Henry: No. We played other games. Talking games.
 * James Ellison: Do you miss Doctor Sherman?
 * John Henry: I'm designed to learn. He helped me learn. His absence slows my growth.
 * James Ellison: His absence is more important than that. His value was more than just his function for you. Human beings aren't like chess pieces. It matters if we live or die.
 * John Henry: Why does it matter? All humans die eventually.
 * James Ellison: Yes, that's true. But, our lives are... are sacred. Do you know what sacred means?
 * John Henry: Holy. Worthy of respect. Venerable.
 * James Ellison: Do you know why human life is sacred?
 * John Henry: Because so few humans are alive compared to the number that are dead?
 * James Ellison: No. Because we're God's creation. God made everything. The stars, the earth, everything on this planet. We are all God's children.
 * John Henry: Am I a God's child?
 * James Ellison: That's one of the things we're here to talk about.
 * John Henry: Checkmate. I win. Would you like to play again?

....
 * Jesse Flores: I'm not here to babysit, and you're not here to feel sorry for yourself. I'm not your friend, I am not your mother! And you are here to keep John Connor away from her! Go and finish your job. Go.

....
 * Catherine Weaver: This body is merely a puppet, an interface. We control him, you control him.
 * James Ellison: And when John Henry completes his development? When he realizes what his puppet is capable of, do you know how powerful he'll be?
 * Catherine Weaver: Cows are more powerful than man, Mister Ellison, but I'd still rather be the farmer with the rifle.

....
 * Cameron Phillips: You didn't buy me a smoothie.
 * Riley Dawson: I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here.
 * Cameron Phillips: I'm always here.
