- [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?
- 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.
- [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.
- [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, asshole!
- Guardian: Bite me.
- 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.
- 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
- [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]
- Kyle Reese: [Sarah approaches to find Reese knocked out]
- Sarah Connor: Oh, great. That's just great.
- Terminator: I did not kill him.
- Guardian: [after his hand involuntarily shakes as they're loading their cartridges] Old.
- Kyle Reese: Not obsolete.
- Guardian: Not yet.
- 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: Did you mate?
- Sarah Connor: Oh, can you just not say the word "mate" to me again, like, ever?
- [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]
- Kyle Reese: 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.
- [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...
- 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.
- [the Terminator arrives naked and encounters some punks]
- 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, fuck you, asshole.
- 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.
- [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]
- [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 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 humans" is confusing to you?
- Young Kyle: Remember, Genisys is Skynet. When Genisys comes online, Judgment Day begins. You can kill Skynet before it's born.
- Sarah Connor: The timeline John sent you to no longer exists. Everything's changed... and we can stop Judgement Day.
- 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.
- [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 shit!
- 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.
- 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.
- Sarah Connor: [to Guardian] Look... and it's not just mating... I'm supposed to fall in love with him
- 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?
- 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.
- Sarah Connor: Pops! Are you... You?
- Guardian: As a T-800, I lack the mimetic skills to appear as anyone else.
- Kyle Reese: It's him. Let's go!
- 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: 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.
- Sarah Connor: Genisys is a Trojan horse, Skynet's way into everything.
- Kyle Reese: These people are inviting their own extinction in through the front door, and they don't even know it.
