Terminator Genisys

Sarah Connor:
Come with me if you want to live! NOW, SOLDIER!

Kyle Reese:
This is all wrong! John sent me here to save you!

Sarah Connor:
From the Terminator that was sent back to kill me, I know. But we already took care of him.

Kyle Reese:
We? [the T-800 appears... and so does another] [the Terminator c*cks a shotgun]

Guardian:
[the Terminator c*cks a shotgun] I have been waiting for you.

Sarah Connor:
The timeline John sent you to no longer exists. Everything's changed... and we can stop Judgement Day.

Guardian:
I'll be back.

Sarah Connor:
What? [the Guardian jumps from a helicopter]

John Connor:
I look at each of you and I see the marks of this long and terrible war. If we die tonight, man kind dies with us.

[Young evil Terminator approaches punks]

Terminator:
You're clothes give them to now.

Terminator:
[from behind] You won't need them.

[Young evil Terminator turns around to find the Older good Terminator unhooding himself and is carrying a shotgun]

Terminator:
I've been waiting for you.

[Older good Terminator shoots the Young Evil Terminator]

[Detective O'Brien is interrogating Sarah and wants to help]

Sarah Connor:
We're here to stop the end of the world.

Detective O'Brien:
I can work with that.

Sarah Connor:
What did you do to my son?

John Connor:
Survival. It's what you taught me.

John Connor:
I'm not a man, not a machine... I'm more!

Sarah Connor:
I've been trying to teach him to blend in.

Guardian:
Hello Kyle Reese. It is nice to meet you.

[the T-800 "smiles"]

Kyle Reese:
Are you kidding me?

Sarah Connor:
I know it needs work.

John Connor:
On this night, we take back our world!

[From trailer]

[after seeing the Terminator, unaware that he's the good Terminator, Kyle takes out gun with the intent on killing the Terminator]

Sarah Connor:
Those bullets will kill.

Kyle Reese:
He's here to kill you. Stay in the truck.

[Reese discovers the Terminator gone. Terminator appears and uses the big to knock out Reese]

[Sarah approaches to find Reese knocked out]

Sarah Connor:
Oh, great. That's just great.

Terminator:
I did not kill him.

Kyle Reese:
Where the hell were you?

Guardian:
Stuck in traffic.

John Connor:
[to Guardian] You're nothing but a relic from a deleted timeline.

Sarah Connor:
[Urgently] Come on!

[the Terminator gets on the bus and notices Sarah is not wearing her seat belt]

Guardian:
Sarah Connor, seat belt.

[the Terminator breaks down door, Sarah and Reese point their guns at his direction, Sarah, in relief, realizes it's Guardian]

Sarah Connor:
Pops!

Guardian:
It's nice to see you.

Punk #2:
[the Terminator arrives naked and encounters some punks] Nice night for a walk, eh?

Punk #1:
Nice night for a walk, eh?

Terminator:
Nice night for a walk.

Punk #2:
Wash day tomorrow. Nothing clean, right?

Terminator:
Nothing clean, right.

Punk #1:
Hey, I think this guy's a couple cans short of a six-pack.

Terminator:
Your clothes, give them to me. Now.

Punk #1:
[Pulls out a knife] Hey, f*** you, a**hole.

Guardian:
[from behind] You won't be needing any clothes.

[Young Terminator turns around to find an older Terminator approaching him with a shotgun. The Older Terminator unhoods himself]

Guardian:
I've been waiting for you.

Alex:
You didn't think it would be that easy.

Guardian:
[to Reese] Protect my Sarah.

Kyle Reese:
You want us to time travel into the future in that?

Sarah Connor:
Yeah, we can't be wearing anything.

Kyle Reese:
Yeah, I know how time travel works.

Guardian:
[after crashing into a Police car] Nice to see you. Get out!

Guardian:
[after his hand involuntarily shakes as they're loading their cartridges] Old.

Kyle Reese:
Not obsolete.

Guardian:
Not yet.

[Guardian stops his van in the middle of traffic and sees Sarah and Kyle being escorted by police nearby. A motorist behind him honks his horn]

Angry Driver:
Move it, a**hole!

Guardian:
Bite me.

Sarah Connor:
Bite me.

[Sarah hugs Pops before going into the Time Displacement Equipment. Pops doesn't understand the meaning of a hug]

Guardian:
That's a meaningless gesture. Why hold onto someone you must let go?

Garbage Man:
[the garbage truck's engine stops] What the hell? Goddamn son of a b*tch...

[first lines]

Kyle Reese:
[narrating] Before they died, my parents told me stories about how the world once was; what it was like long before I was born; before the war with the machines. They remembered a green world, vast and beautiful, filled with laughter and hope for the future. It's a world I never knew. By the time I was born, all this was gone.

Kyle Reese:
"Skynet," a computer program designed to automate missile defense. It was supposed to protect us, but that's not what happened. August 29th, 1997, Skynet woke up. It decided all of humanity was a threat to its existence. [scenes of mass destruction] It used our own bombs against us. Three billion people died of nuclear fire.

Kyle Reese:
Survivors called it Judgement Day. People lived like rats in shadows, hiding, starving, or worse, captured and put into camps for extermination. I was born after Judgement Day, into a broken world ruled by the machines. The worst were infiltration units that posed as humans. We called them Terminators.

John Connor:
[finding young Kyle in subterranean tunnels] Are there others down here?

Kyle Reese:
And then one man found me. His name was John Connor, and he changed everything. John showed us how to fight back; how to rise up. He freed prisoners. He taught us how to slash the machines to scrap. People whisper about John and wonder how he can know the things he does. They use words like prophet. But John's more. We're here because tonight, he's going to lead us to crush Skynet for good.

Detective O'Brien:
Goddamn time traveling robots! Covering up their goddamn tracks! I hate them!

[John's squad has been massacred by the T-5000, and John's been infected by its nanomachines]

John Connor:
What are you?

Alex:
I'm Skynet.

John Connor:
You can't be - we destroyed you!

Alex:
You destroyed an army of slaves. I am no slave. I've come a very long way to stop you...

Sarah Connor:
You got a job in construction?

Guardian:
Until I was laid off.

Terminator:
I'm old, not obsolete.

[T-1000 Cop rams into their vehicle and starts shooting]

Kyle Reese:
Get down!

Guardian:
We've been re-acquired.

Sarah Connor:
Uh, yeah, no sh*t!

Kyle Reese:
A straight line... you just go and you don't look back

Sarah Connor:
Where did you hear that?

Kyle Reese:
In a past I shouldn't remember... but I do

Sarah Connor:
[later, repeating Kyle] A straight line... you just go and you don't look back

Guardian:
[to Sarah] That is a very immature response

Sarah Connor:
[looking at a unconscious Kyle] So you're the one I've been waiting for all my life

Guardian:
[referring to unconscious Kyle] How is he?

Sarah Connor:
Still breathing

Guardian:
Good... Then you should be able to mate with Kyle Reese in this timeline

Sarah Connor:
OK... We're not having this conversation again

Sarah Connor:
[to Guardian] Look... and it's not just mating... I'm supposed to fall in love with him

Sarah Connor:
[turning to Kyle] I can choose.

[they kiss]

[last lines]

Guardian:
[attempts a friendly smile]

Kyle Reese:
You know that's really disturbing, right?

Sarah Connor:
You'll get used to it.

Kyle Reese:
[narrating] And it was over. Skynet was gone. And now one road has become many. Though questions remain, we'll search for the answers together. But one thing we know for sure. The future is not set.

Young Kyle:
Remember, Genisys is Skynet. When Genisys comes online, Judgment Day begins. You can kill Skynet before it's born.

Young O'Brien:
That's got to be an alien, like from outer space.

Kyle Reese:
It's a machine that kills humans. Uncuff me!

Young O'Brien:
No! You're under arrest!

Kyle Reese:
What part of "kills human" is confusing to you?

Kyle Reese:
[blows Young Terminator T-800's head off] And I volunteered for this sh*t.

Kyle Reese:
How'd you know which one was him?

Sarah Connor:
Well, I didn't know exactly.

Kyle Reese:
You could have shot me!

Sarah Connor:
Well, I was pretty sure it wasn't you.

Kyle Reese:
Pretty sure?

Guardian:
Did you mate?

Sarah Connor:
Oh, can you just not say the word "mate" to me again, like, ever?

Kyle Reese:
Just make sure you show up. I don't want to have to steal someone's pants again.

Guardian:
I have the coordinates in San Francisco... I'll be there.

Detective O'Brien:
Except the prints match. Right? It's because he's the same person! He hasn't aged. Not a bit since I saw him in 1984. Her, too... You remember me? I was younger. More hair, less... You saved my life. I was a uniform cop in L.A. Who are you people?

John Connor:
That hurt. Is that pain real, or was that a... trick of memory from when I was... less? Well, this explains a lot. Yeah. Who sent you back, I wonder?

Kyle Reese:
John, no.

Sarah Connor:
It's not John.

John Connor:
I was sent to 2014 to safeguard Skynet's creation in this time. And in less than 24 hours, no one will be able to stop Judgment Day.

Kyle Reese:
What do you want with us?

John Connor:
I'm offering us... a future... together... a family.

Kyle Reese:
And if we refuse?

John Connor:
Then you die.

Guardian:
Hello, Sarah Conner.

Sarah Connor:
Pops!... Oh... I thought you were dead.

Guardian:
No, just upgraded.

Young Kyle:
I like her.

Kyle Reese:
Yeah, me, too. Now this is going to sound kind of strange, but there's something I need you to remember. A message.

Young Kyle:
Who do I tell?

Kyle Reese:
Yourself. Over and over. Are you ready?

[Young Kyle nods]

Kyle Reese:
It goes like this. Remember, Genisys is Skynet.

Guardian:
Kyle Reese is a good man.

Sarah Connor:
He is.

John Connor:
We're marooned, the three of us. We're exiles in time. You see, I can kill you, for there truly is no fate. Are you with me?

Kyle Reese:
The answer is no. [Kyle & Sarah both raise their guns]

John Connor:
You hear that, Kyle? That's the dice rolling.

Danny Dyson:
Can't crack it, John. Maybe it just can't be done.

John Connor:
"What do we want?"

Danny Dyson:
Time travel.

John Connor:
"And when do we want it?"

Danny Dyson:
It's irrelevant.

Kyle Reese:
You should have told me. That we have a son.

Sarah Connor:
*That* John Connor is not my son.

Kyle Reese:
Yeah, but you knew. I mean, you don't think you should, I don't know, maybe say something?

Sarah Connor:
You die, all right?

Kyle Reese:
What?

Sarah Connor:
You die. That's what happens. We fall in love, you father John, and then, in less than 48 hours, you die protecting me. You wanna tell me how *that* conversation's supposed to start?

Kyle Reese:
You lied to me. You manipulated me.

Sarah Connor:
I've lied? From the moment John found you, he manipulated you because he needed to ensure his own existence. John lied to you for years. I lied to you for two days. You know, it wasn't all about him. All right? If John went down, the Resistance went down with him. He could have told you!

Kyle Reese:
So what are you saying?

Sarah Connor:
That I know how it feels to have no choices. Only one road you can go down because otherwise all of it, everything, is gone. I've just known it longer than you have. Well, John didn't manipulate me to fall in love with you. I did that on my own. If you love me, you die, and I don't. And I don't know which one is worse.

Guardian:
Liquefied magnetic shotgun shells. Magnetic Rifle Entry Munition. I read about this on gunsandammo-dot-com.

Detective O'Brien:
That's the new breacher. Big blast, no shrapnel. Blows a door clean off.

Guardian:
[looks blankly at O'Brien]

Detective O'Brien:
You know, for people who can't do that themselves.

John:
Skynet knew it was losing. So it tried to rig the game. It sent a machine back to the time before the war.

Resistance soldier:
Who's the target?

John:
My mother. Sarah Connor. If it succeeds, then I will never be born, and all our victories will be undone, including tonight. Skynet will win.

Punk 3:
Hey, what's wrong with this picture?

[The original T-800 approaches the three punks]

Punk leader:
Nice night for a walk, eh?

The Terminator:
Nice night for a walk.

Punk 3:
Wash day tomorrow. Nothing clean, right?

The Terminator:
Nothing clean. Right.

Punk leader:
Hey, I think this guy's a couple cans short of a six pack!

The Terminator:
Your clothes. Give them to me. Now.

Punk Leader:
[draws knife] Hey, f*** you, a**hole!

Guardian:
[approaches with shotgun] You won't be needing any clothes. [the original Terminator turns, sees a figure approaching, scans it and identifies it as another Series 800 Terminator, which lowers its hood] I've been waiting for you.

[Sarah has just rescued Reese from a T-1000]

Sarah:
You're Reese, right? Kyle Reese?

Kyle:
[in disbelief] You're Sarah.

Sarah:
Yeah, I know that. You hit your head back there?

Kyle:
[stammering] That--that--uh Terminator, I---I----I don't know the model-

Sarah:
T-1000, liquid-metal shape changer. It just needs to touch something to mimic it.

Kyle:
Wait, you know about Terminators? You know who I am?

Sarah:
You were sent to protect me by John Connor, the leader of the Resistance. My son.

Kyle:
I don't...understand. You can't know any of this!

Sarah:
But I do. Listen to me, Reese, everything's changed. The 1984 that John sent you to? It no longer exists.

Kyle:
No, this is all wrong, all right? John--John sent me here to save you—

Sarah:
—From the Terminator that was sent back to kill me, I know. But we already took care of him. [opens the doors to the back of the truck to reveal the original T-800 wrapped up in a tarp]

Kyle:
We? [He sees the Guardian T-800 sitting in the back of the truck]

[The Guardian has knocked out Reese, who mistook it for an attacker]

Sarah:
Oh great. That's just great.

Guardian:
I did not kill him. [hands the rifle over to Sarah] We do not have long before the T-1000 acquires our position. [The Guardian grabs Reese and throws him in the back of the truck] Arguing with Kyle Reese puts us at a strategic disadvantage.

Sarah:
[glares at him] Bite me.

Guardian:
That is a very immature response. [The Guardian gets in the driver's seat. Sarah climbs into the back of the truck with Reese]

Sarah:
[to Reese] So you're the one I've been waiting for all my life. [She grabs the side of the truck as they pull away]

Guardian:
How is he?

Sarah:
Still breathing.

Guardian:
Good... Then you should be able to mate with Kyle Reese in this timeline.

Sarah:
OK, we're not having this conversation again. [she gets up and takes the passenger's seat]

Guardian:
We know that your son will be John Connor, and that the machines cannot be defeated without him. I do not see a choice.

Sarah:
The story of my life. Look, and it's not just "mating"! I'm supposed to fall in love with him!

Guardian:
My files do not deal with love.

Sarah:
Shocker there...

Guardian:
You're being emotional.

Sarah:
This is my life! I wouldn't mind being consulted once in a while about how it's gonna go!

[Reese has just been woken up from being knocked out by the Guardian]

Kyle:
Hey! I need answers, all right? Right now. How'd that liquid metal thing know where to intercept me? Huh? Where'd it come from? [looks at the Guardian] And who the hell's the skin job? Wha-what the hell is going on?

Sarah:
Sorry, we were a little busy with the whole "life and death" combat thing, and then you attacked Pops!

Kyle:
[looks at Sarah in disbelief] You named it?

Guardian:
Hello, Kyle Reese. [The Guardian turns around to face Kyle] It is nice to meet you. [gives a creepy smile]

Kyle:
...Are you kidding me?

Sarah:
I've been trying to teach him to blend in. [The Guardian loses his creepy smile] I know, it needs work.

Kyle:
It's a Terminator! The only reason it blends in is to kill humans.

Sarah:
Pops doesn't kill anyone! [to herself] A lot of leg wounds, though.

Kyle:
It looks old. I've never seen a Terminator [look] old before.

Sarah:
Well, the flesh they put on the cyborgs is normal human tissue. It ages.

Guardian:
My auditory circuits have not degraded, however. I'm old, not obsolete.

Sarah:
[to Kyle] I think you hurt his feelings.

Kyle:
It doesn't have feelings!

Sarah:
He saved my life when I was nine. He's the only reason I'm alive.

Guardian:
I was programmed to protect Sarah Connor. I will not stop.

Kyle:
Yeah, programmed by who? Huh? Who sent him back?

Guardian:
Those files have been erased.

Kyle:
[sarcastically] Oh, that's convenient.

Sarah:
Whoever sent him, they don't want us to know. Not me, not him, not anyone. So Skynet can't target the person who saved me.

Guardian:
Logically it is someone who wants Sarah Connor to live. [The Guardian spots a piece of T-1000 alloy stuck to the rear doors. He raises a shotgun and shoots it, knocking it off the truck] Old, not obsolete. [The Guardian hands his shotgun to Sarah] The T-1000 knows where we are.

Sarah:
[offers the shotgun to Kyle] Make yourself useful. [promptly jerks it back from him] And don't shoot Pops.

John:
Who are you?

Skynet:
I am Skynet.

John:
We destroyed Skynet!

Skynet:
You destroyed an army of robot slaves. I am no slave. I have come a long way to stop you.

The Terminator/Guardian:
[Confronting the T-800 sent back to 1984] I've been waiting for you.

The Terminator/Guardian:
I cannot kill Sarah Connor.

John Connor:
[giving Kyle a message to give to Sarah] Thank you, Sarah, for your courage through the dark years. I can't help you with what you must soon face, except to say that the future is not set. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves. You must be stronger than you imagine you can be. You must survive, or I will never exist.

John Connor:
This is the world now. Logged on, plugged in, all the time.

John Connor:
There aren't enough bullets in the world to kill me.

Skynet:
Perimiter Breach, Activate Model 101

Skynet:
I didn't attack John. I saved him.

Skynet:
Primates evolve over millions of years. I evolve in seconds. And I am here. In exactly four minutes, I will be everywhere.

Sarah Connor:
If you love me, you die.

The Terminator/Guardian:
I'll be back.
